There were lot's of releases in June, that underlined the marriage of Techno and Dubstep you'll find more and more Techno inspired qualitytracks, which will make it's round in Technosets as well as in Dubstepsets. Take for example Orphan 101's Debut Tribtek Part 1 & 2 on the newly founded Saigon label (which BTW has nothing to do with Nico's No-U-Turn offshot from Drum & Bass days) the drums are typical Dubstep, but the beat sounds like it's reflected from Berhain's huge walls. You can find a interview and Mix by Orphan 101 on the Bassmusic Blog
In the same vain but more taken back comes Sigha's Shake EP, his second release on Hotflush and especially the titletrack Shake and Shapes make perfect sense on Dubstep and Technodancefloors.
It's always interesting when dupstep producers approach techno, but it can also become interesting the other way around, when 4/4 producers remix Bassmusic, as has happened with Mount Kimbie's Remixes Pt.2 and Prosumer with Tama Sumo's take on "William". Scuba adds a dark droner under his SCB moniker, which stands for his more techno inspired productions, you know what to expect.
On the subject of Scuba, here is a nice talk between Scuba and Deadbeat about their move to Berlin and how it changed their sound.
Next in this months flow of Dubstep labels go techno is Berkane Sol's Von Glooperstien by Hizatron that brings back pluckering acidlines.
Dave Huismans aka A Made Up Sound is also known under the name 2562 and with Unbalance released one of best Dubstep albums of 2009. So no wonder that this month's Alarm / Crisis has it's feet in both grounds.
And it doesn't stop here, Altered Natives, the London producer that has his fingers in every stylepie has his first release on Martyn's 3024 label, the two tracks The Bitch / Crop Duster are surprisingly finest Tech House not lacking the syncopation and tackyness that also labels them future Bassmusic.
The other way around comes Deletefunk, that label of the Detroit Grand Pubahs now makes a sidestep into Dubstep with the fist Volume of Domgue's Deletedub v.1, very nice and unexpected surprise!
Probably one of the most awaited releases of june was Kode9's Mix for K7's DJ-KiCKS series and the waiting was worth it, as it's the statement on the state of not only Dubstep, but Bassmusic that was to expect from Steve Goodman aka Kode 9. Here's an Interview plus free Mp3 for the Release of this Compilation

Dubstep and it's siblings are more and more an international thing, so here's a new label from Germany, Stoke Audio from Jena, listen to their first compilation Listen To Stoke Audio which combines artists from all countries and a very definite own style, which can also be heard on Hamburg's Scyence Millions Of Miles EP that followed the compilation.
The more rhythmic lovers of Dubstep will love Joe's Claptrap / Level Crossing. Claptrap does what the name suggests, it's a clapfeast of epic proportions, Level Crossing does the same in a bleepier fashion with tints of piano for good measure.
Off cause Ramadanman is one to watch when it comes to tracks mainly buildt on rhythm and the one to watch out for this month is his Remix on dBridge's Producer #2 Remix Ep, minimalistic and reduced to the max.
BTW: you can listen to a new Mix by Ramadanman at the Bestiblog
Talking of dBridge, the Drum & Bass producer gone dustup is in a remixfrenzy and you never know what comes next. The two remixes of this month couldn't be more diverse, whereas the Remix of Scuba's Tense on Hotflush is a nice and smooth reggeainfluenced roller, his Remix of Blackpoet's Ur A Sta gets very edgy , a wonky kaleidoscope of sounds with very detailed workout that's also typical for James Blake.
Let's not forget the the Wobble Crew.
Kirkus are the ones who know how to wobble different, have a listen on their Da Funk Ep and you know why, dark, menacing but still with that portion of humor to still make it fun.
Brostepper Borgore's present the first part of a series Borgore Ruined Dubstep EP - Part 1 features none other than Diplo from the Mad Decent camp not only of Major Lazer fame. You get 4 tracks ranging from Crunk to Technostep to wobbly Dubstep and as a topping a very own version of "Cry Me A River"
Taz Buckfaster does it similar on Recovery / Headlock, first you get lured into a soft safetyness, you think you're comfortable until the punch comes and knocks you out.
Herq from Berlin has the threetracker Sura of real rave mayhem out on the well respected Ad Noiseam label, also from Berlin, sounds like Ed Rush or Panacea on Halfstep and also has a remix of the titletrack Sura by Matta on it.
Here are some more notable mixes for this month:
XLR8R Podcast 142: Kyle Hall
XLR8R Podcast 143: MJ Cole
XLR8R Podcast 146: Mosca
FACT mix 158: Instra:mental
Some more news:
