Does Spotify work in the US yet? There are a load of grime playlists on there, although that's obviously a bit selective.

"how has this aged for yall half a decade later?"
High points of grime (of which "Pow" was one) still sound really good to me.

Admittedly I probably (like with jungle, garage, well anything UK continuum related) have way way too many discs which lean more toward the mediocre than the sublime, but that's sort of how this works isn't it?

I'm really excited by stuff going on here atm. Marger & Rival were set to be a major team, - as demonstrated by this absolute boy of a first set on Logan:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPu9qfB0EIg
but now Margs has gone ego nuts & has basically told Rival to go home and get his fuckin shinebox- "sent to the shop, sent to the shop, Rival use to get sent to the shop". The dub also featured a little send for MIK, who's certainly got a reply. It's not likely Rival will reply- he seems really upset on Twitter.
Instrumentals are v. v. strong at the minute. I love the Spartan meme. the newest remix basically made me dash all my stuff across the room:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrfR2KajeY0
these are all amazing in sets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsEiFZjcvr0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-V7LTQ-fd8c
Oil Gang, Butterz & Pitch Controllers are now doing the releases thing properly, which is great to see.
Trim is back at his best after being in a weird memory crisis last year. It seems that war keeps him going:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzoaHrMYj3s
Chronik is out of jail, and sounds terrifying these days, and of course Wiley after the avalanche of new music last year has reached an apex of creative zen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZGON32Agu0

christ that ruff squad set from the 22nd is really something.
― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, January 8, 2004 3:08 AM Bookmark Flag Post Permalink
It really was something, as was the one from the 29th - I guess these are Ruff Sqwad sets on Deja Vu from 22nd/29th December 2003.
Unfortunately, I lost my copies about 7 years ago, and all I can find online is 16 mins of the 29th December set. Does anyone still have them??
