S&M are an Ipswich Dubstep duo, who are making a name for themselves before they’ve even released a single tune!

Numerous tracks that they’ve uploaded to YouTube have been absolutely killin’ it and have left an army of thousands baying for a release (which more than likely, will be appearing on TPM later this year)!

In the meantime though, they’ve entered a competition to get their dub on at ‘Next Drop’ which will see them supporting a bevy of Dubstep heavyweights.

It takes literally one click and no registration, so please put in your two cents here: Tropic Culture Competition
