For those who don&#8217;t know Compa, he&#8217;s been making waves with his dark dubstep styles for some time now, generating massive interest with his &#8216;Dem a Talk&#8217; track, which was finally released this year.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YbsnRWqqyA8\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Another element of his game which is garnering a lot of respect is his commitment to vinyl and dubplates, DJing solely on turntables and pioneering nights committed to only vinyl DJs.
