Dubstep’s early years captured in new book, Drumz Of The South

Featuring Burial, Mala, Skream, Kode9, Vex’d, and more.

Music photographer Georgina Cook is crowdfunding the publication of a new book, called Drumz Of The South: The Dubstep Years 2004-2007.

The book is based off her blog of the same name, which similarly focused on the underground sounds of South London.

Surveying the fertile years between 2004 and 2007, Drumz Of The South captures nights at FWD>>, Skull Disco, DMZ, and Mary Anne Hobbs’ Dubstep Warz radio show.

It also includes portraits and photos of pivotal artists including Burial, Mala, Skream, Kode9, and Vex’d, alongside posts from the original blog, and hand-drawn notes.

Drumz Of The South includes a foreword by writer Emma Warren, alongside an introductory essay by Cook herself.

Cook has launched the Kickstarter campaign in order to raise the £20,000 needed to cover the cost of printing 1,000 copies of the book. Any excess funds raised will be put towards the book’s launch and future publications.
