He also discussed the massive shift in sound system culture and dance music in London. The UK capital seems to be going through a permanent "renaissance," with a series of transitory points (drum and bass, jungle, 2-step, garage, grime, dubstep, funky, bassline, etc.) Peterson explains how in a city with "a whole million types of hybrids and versions of house music... dubstep is the most important movement since drum and bass," and furthermore lists batch of incredible musicians and producers, including Skream, Benga, Mala, and Kode9, who are all making exciting and innovative sounds and pushing the music forward.
