Silkie & Quest are set to take charge of the next instalment of Tempa's 'Dubstep Allstars' mix series.

One of the most influential names in bass culture, Tempa have helmed the Dubstep Allstars series for years now. Charting the evolution and progression of dubstep, the compilations act as a barometer for innovation at 140 BPM.

Two pioneers, Silkie & Quest are ideal candidates to take hold of the next instalment in the series. 'Dubstep Allstars Vol. 9' belongs to them, with the duo calling in favours from some high ranking places.

Dubstep may be splintering beyond any recognition, but Silkie & Quest prove that plenty of innovation still exists within the established templates.

Opening with Swindle, the mix contains some exclusive material from Silkie & Quest's own hard drive. Alongside this, the pair manage to coax Digital Mystikz producer Mala into handing over the VIP cut of 'Eyez'.

Speaking recently, Silkie said that the mix "came from a desire to emulate the music I loved - garage and 90s R&B". Continuing, the producer admitted: "I feel a compulsion to add the jazz and the soul to the music, and find it harder to leave it out."

'Dubstep Allstars: Vol.09' is due to be released on July 23rd. Tracklisting:
