Toasty / Search & Destroy (2) - The Knowledge / Candyfloss (Remixes)

Toasty improves on Search and Destroy's original version in fine style with a dreamier, more spacious vibe and a fuller bass section, keeping the tune breaky. One of my favorite formerly lost dubs.
I don't much care for this Vex'd remix of "Knowledge" and it has already been issued backed with a Loefah remix of "Candyfloss". It's a huge tune and all that, but it doesn't have any of the feeling of Toasty's original and doesn't really go anywhere.
Would rather have seen something new released on the b-side.

My god this is a tasty pair of dubs, a 4-way all-star meeting that doesn't disappoint. Vex'd deforms the rather garage-y girl sample of Toasty's original into some twisted alien scream, fill it with the familiar nuclear-powered synths, amp up the already face-slapping snares even further, and let it all echo like it was recorded on a foggy london street.

Loefah's mix of Search & Destroy offers a harder take on the minimal dubstep of the dmZ set, with an echoing dancehall voice, straight-up wobbly bass, and most obviously... space!

This is what dubstep is all about.
