In operation since the year 2000, London's Tempa label is known to many as the defining label of the dubstep style. While this is mostly due to Skream's 'Midnight Request Line' becoming dubstep's first major crossover hit in 2005, further genre-defining productions from artists like Benga, Kode 9, Coki or D1 have contributed their share to establishing Tempa as the leader of the pack.
