BASSWEIGHT is a feature length documentary that offers an unparalleled insight into the subterranean world of Dubstep. Charting the genre's growth from obscure origins in south London to global recognition today, the film features in-depth interviews with many of the DJ's, producers and promoters who have been instrumental in Dubstep's ongoing evolution. Skream, Benga, Kode9 and Mary Anne Hobbs are just some of the key players who have contributed, reflecting on the movement they've helped shape; a movement that has come to define the importance of underground music in the 21st Century. This highly stylised film travels from Dubstep's birthplace in Croydon to Europe, Brazil and Japan, demonstrating just how huge an impact this initially indigenous scene has made at an international level.

The Chemical Brothers rocked Trafalgar Square last Sunday in front of a crowd of 90,000 - their biggest-ever London Show - thanks to Beck's Fusions, a unique collaboration between Beck's beer and that most happening of art institutions, the ICA (Institute of Contemporary Arts). Beck's Fusions' aim is to mix music with visual art in the most state-of-the-art, no-holds barred way, so what more earth-shattering way to kick off this concept than this hands-in-the air aural and visual extravaganza by those legendary masters of the big beat electronic dance genre, The Chemical Brothers?
