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.
