For a full "Dubstep Education", I'd recommend starting at the beginning;

    * Ammunition And Blackdown Present: The Roots Of Dubstep Is a recent compilation with lots of tracks taken from the very beginnings of dubstep. Also Roots of El-B is worth checking out if you like that garagey feel.


Here is a list of 'essential' albums, the best full albums to come out of dubstep in the past 5 years;

    * Skream - Skream! is Skream's first (and so far, only) album, another is due to be released in 2010. It contains the infamous 'Midnight Request Line' track.
    * Benga - Diary of an Afro Warrior is Benga's debut album. Received plenty of critical acclaim and includes hugely popular crossover track 'Night' and dancefloor hit '26 Basslines'
    * Burial - Untrue. Burial came out of nowhere, and wanted to stay there. Unfortunately a mercury prize nomination and The Sun newspaper made sure he was dragged out the bubble of anonymity he so enjoyed. Burial's take on dubstep/garage is fuelled with emotion, extremely sorrowful and hauntingly beautiful. If you dislike all other dubstep, chances are you'll still like this.
    * Dusk + Blackdown - Margins Music. Blackdown aka Martin Clark is the top dubstep commentator, yet his production is equally intelligent as his writing. Taking inspiration from London (as a lot of dubstep artists do), dusk and blackdown focus on the extreme cultural diversity in London. An incredible album.
    * Caspa and Rusko - Fabriclive.37. The album that started a movement, some might say. Taking dubstep to the dancefloor, caspa and rusko make a brilliant mix that keeps you entertained from beginning to end. Fans of 'brostep'; this is where it all began.
    * Dubstep Allstars Vol.6 - Mixed by Appleblim. Tempa have released a regular cd, mixed by a guest DJ, on their 'dubstep allstars' series. Volume 6 is done by Bristol local and Applepips founder Appleblim. Bristol music, and dubstep is no exception, has a knack of going where no one has been before and this mix shows another aspect of the diverse dubstep sound. Appleblim seems to relish in the techno influenced side of dubstep, the minimal rolling drums, echoing percussion and throbbing bass make this mix an unmissable addition the to dubstep allstars collection. The Rest of the series is highly recommended, especially Dubstep Allstars Vol.3 - Mixed by Kode 9
    * If techno really is your thing, you might prefer 2562 - Aerial. 2562 is a Dutch producer who, after releasing two incredible 12" on Tectonic, releases his album. a complete hybrid of Dubstep and Techno.
    * Hyperdub 5. This is the 5th anniversary compilation cd from the incredible Hyperdub label, featuring new and old tracks. Possibly the best dubstep album of 2009.
    * Skull Disco - Sound Boy Punishments Skull Disco was a mould breaking label with it's own unique sound. Shackleton and Appleblim remain two of the most forward thinking producers out there and this compilation is a worthy summary of the labels output. Although now defunct, Skull Disco should probably also be added to the label section. Totally unique and ground breaking, you wont hear anything else like it.
    * If Dub/Dancehall/Ragga/Grime is more your thing, you'll love The Bug - London Zoo, full of grumbling bass and sharp tongued mcs, Kevin Martin's dubstep/grime debut is unmissable.
    * Silkie - City Limits Volume 1 is the only album to be released so far on the Deep Medi record label (run by Mala of DMZ). Silkie, of Anti Social Entertainment, creates an unconventional dubstep album full of smooth saxophone melodies and deep throbbing bass. 'The best dubstep album of 2009'
    * iTAL tEK - Cyclical Alan Myson from Brighton creating futuristic dubstep soundscapes.
    * Boxcutter - Oneiric Techno inspired Boxcutter creates albums which deserve to be listened from beginning to end.
    * Milanese - Extend Aggressive dubstep/grime. Recommended for any fans of harder dubstep.
    * Vex'd - Degenerate 2005 album from the dubstep duo 'Vex'd' shows how aggressive dubstep should be done.
