Horsepower Productions are commonly credited for inventing the dubstep genre, and there's certainly a some truth to it: the group's seminal 2003 album 'In Fine Style' presented a stripped down version of UK garage, added influences from reggae, dub, and introduced the genre's trademark subbass wobble. Initially a trio helmed by Benny Ill, Horsepower Productions have recently revived their original line-up, included original members Lev Jnr, and Nasis plus newcomer Jay King, for their third album, 'Quest For The Sonic Bounty'.

Widely credited for being instrumental in the development of UK garage and later dubstep, Horsepower Productions' legacy is still going strong after well over 10 years of releases. The pioneering UK outfit appeared most notably on Tempa, who unearths 4-tracks of their uncompromising sound for 'The Lost Tapes'.
