This mix was put together by The Orator to capture the "struggle and zealous excitement from 2010's fervor" as the genre experienced boundary pushing growth. He notes that the growth of international bass music in 2010 has resulted in the emergence of a new paradigm, "where no established genre is safe and inspiration is abound, thus Omnistep."

Omnistep it is - and we can't wait to see how it unfolds in 2011.

Give this mix a listen once, twice or 10 times. It may be your "listen" that gives The Orator, the opportunity to play UK’s BLOC Festival.

The Orator Presents Omnistep - Bleep Competition by Mushpost on Mixcloud

"On Friday May 21st, 2010 I witnessed Headhunter perform as Addison Groove at Dub War NYC. The incorrigible DJ Haitian declared it was Headhunter's "final 'fuck you' to dubstep." The game had changed.

Last year international bass music withstood exponential growth in every direction and the growing pains were not ignored. Selecting which tunes from 2010 to use for this mix was simply vexing.

This mix stands to represent my growth, not away, for there is no where to run away to, but, from dubstep. It is my intention for this mix to be a dynamic overview of artists that have pushed bass music into a new paradigm where no established genre is safe and inspiration is abound, thus Omnistep. My hope is also that the struggle and zealous excitement from 2010's fervor is tangible in this mix. Please enjoy & share." -Nick Concklin / The Orator
