What does the new year hold in store for our ears?
Mechanical dubstep sounds will continue to permeate popular music. Expect female vocalists collabing with the likes of Skrillex, Skream, Benga. Furthermore drum & bass looks set to have a big year with the likes of DJ Fresh and High Contrast catering their melodic tracks to a mass audience. Pause for plug
On the underground side of things 2011 saw deep house brought to the fore. 2012 should see a continuation of this with the likes of Hot Creations and Crosstown Rebels pioneering the genre. Expect to see these guys on festival lineups this summer.

As has been the trend over the past few years, hybrid genres will continue to sprout up faster than you can keep up with. Deep house sounds could spawn other sounds such as a disco/funk revival and a plethora of 80's/90's R&B samples (track above in mind). UK Bass mixed with tech and other forms of house/techno through the likes of Julio Bashmore, Eats Everything & Blawan look set to thrive this year.
It would also be nice to see UK garage make some movements (with the 2011 success of Mosca, Zed Bias & Mike Delinquent in mind).
One's to watch
1. Breach/Ben Westbeech (huge talent, making waves over and underground)
DJ Cra$y - I Need You (BrEaCh Mix) by BrEaCh
2. Switch (recently split from Major Lazer to work on solo material)
Download Switch What Did She Say
3. T.E.E.D (horribly underrated, deserves to make it big this year)
