Although there are prominent females in the dubstep world - Mary Anne Hobbs (BBC Radio 1) and Ikonika (Hyperdub), to name just a couple - it's not surprising that events of the genre tend to be somewhat of a sausage fest. To combat that, Back To Chill and Triangle have a rather nice entrance policy for gentlewomen.
 
As the dubstep tag has become looser and looser, so the music policy of Back To Chill has incorporated more of the soulful and melodic two-step rhythmic nocturnes of groundbreaking artists such as 2562, Martyn and Joy Orbison; music that infuses Detroit techno chordal patterns with garagey syncopated beats and often heart-achingly beautiful melodies. A far cry from the wobbly, bass-heavy, dark, cavernous tones of past dubstep. There is a much more unisex appeal to the future of the genre, exemplified on a personal level by my own partner's new-found passion for the genre.
