(CBS News) Do you enjoy the music phenomenon that is dubstep? Do you like the soothing sounds of a cappella when it's done right? If you said "yes" to these two questions, then you are going to absolutely love what I have in store for you above. Can you take a guess what it might be?

Now this is not the first time we've seen an attempt at covering dubstep through the medium of a cappella. But, seriously, wow! This truly impressive double cover of Skrillex's remix of "Cinema" and Santigold's "Disparate Youth" was performed by one Mike Tompkins, who uses nothing but his voice to create the unique rendition and who has earned a major triple-rainbow salute of excellence from all of us here at The Feed!

I'd be interested to know if all of the sounds were strictly recorded vocals with no electronic tweaking. It's certainly possible that it's all strictly vocal. Would love to see a group tackle this, just to see all the parts being played at once.; Reply to this comment
