La Roux - In For the Kill [Skream's Let's Get Ravey Remix]

DUBSTEP SONG OF THE YEAR

I'm sitting here bumping this song at full volume with the bass knob of my sub-woofer turned to 11. There is absolutely no other way to play it. The intensity of the song can only be translated in this way, otherwise the feeling is lost. This song is easily one of the best (if not the best) dubstep songs of 2009 and it'll probably be one of the most powerful dubstep songs I'll hear within the next year even. Skream's Let's Get Ravey Remix doesn't try to impress you with explosive 1/12th or 1/16th wobbles in your face every second. Instead, he lets the bass ride under La Roux's painfully soothing vocals, and drive the song forward without even really letting its presence be known. There aren't that many words I can use to describe this song because it's a song that really just needs to be heard. Fuck, I don't even want to imagine what hearing this live is like.
