ohshit!!!!!!!!!!!!! i just heard the best tune ever!!!!!!!!

its got this sort of 'hoe' like beat, but just this this amazing pizzicato viola sound with a bowed cello bassline. have to know what this tune is!!!?!?! its only on for a minute in the dvd, then wiley tells carnage to put something else on?!?! wtf?

― ambrose (ambrose), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 18:16 (twenty years ago) link

prima - I like "Hoe 4" & splashed for it
Plasticman played it at Volume Rephlex vs Kompakt night

heavily-reversed, body-baffling stuff - but kinda clunky
so it kindof just smacks you up "I Luv You" style
sounded great at high volume - like some Egyptian tomb opening

ambrose, your excitement reminded me of how I feel about
"What Have You Done"
gotta get that
Kano really is the champ after Dizzee
- can't wait to hear him do a whole album

― Paul (scifisoul), Thursday, 29 April 2004 02:43 (twenty years ago) link

actually I can wait, since he seems to be on course as is

― Paul (scifisoul), Thursday, 29 April 2004 02:46 (twenty years ago) link

yeah kano is definitely due a breakthrough. are all the majors/record companies with a bit of cash just going to carrying on ignoring all these unsigned people?

just got box bloody fresh. its pretty slick as a whole package. east co seem to be a bit ignored, but this is tight!

― ambrose (ambrose), Thursday, 29 April 2004 07:22 (twenty years ago) link

kano 'what have you done' YESS ive been trying to id this tune for ages!! did 1xtra play it or something, it's utterly amazing

― prima fassy (mwah), Thursday, 29 April 2004 10:01 (twenty years ago) link

does everyone know that wiley once fell through a garage roof? i find hat amusing.

tune i'm currently feeling: j sweet - gutter (alias remix)

sorry to cut in, but i've just found my favourite definition of the genre so far: "Grime" — a contentious term at present — is a British analogue to hiphop (which evolved quite distinctly from hiphop, being an outgrowth of UK ga-rage) featuring rapid-fire, often social-realist rhymes over oddly baroque-sounding synthesizer continuos. (luc sante, new york review of books, emphasis mine)

Grime is in the exact same position drum’n’bass was in the early ‘90s; it’s got so much potential, but the scene around it is populated by tawdry little turds, and it needs somebody like an Aphex or a Squarepusher to come along and take the sound to the next level.

job without actually wanting to open the link, can you tell me who wrote that so they can go on "the list"?

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 10 May 2004 20:07 (twenty years ago) link

I got to the part about 'proper music fans' and couldn't've hit 'Back' any quicker.

i want to cheer that "faceless oik"

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 10 May 2004 20:46 (twenty years ago) link

you do all realise this is clearly a joke, right?

She sent me an incomprehensible text in reply that read, ‘dan u twt fcku and ur stpid sht msic’. I texted her back asking her to clarify what she’d written, but she just blanked me. I just need to crack her crazy txt code – perhaps she was offering me an olive branch of some kind…?

come on...

― toby (tsg20), Monday, 10 May 2004 20:47 (twenty years ago) link

haha ts: bad jokes vs. bad ideology

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 10 May 2004 20:48 (twenty years ago) link

also, toby, you'll forgive me for not giving jockey slut the immediate benefit of the doubt, being the "pitchfork of dance" that it is.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 10 May 2004 20:49 (twenty years ago) link

I daren’t even get it stocked in the shop until Wire magazine does a feature on it – we’d be overrun with Kappa’d-up mini-thugs in seconds!

yeah i think this may be sarcastic. or not. or both ... i mean, there's no reason that you can't hate the idea of "next level" grime and hate real straight-up grime simultaneously.

Does anybody know what the actual tracklist to disc 1 of Box Bloody Fresh is? (haven't checked disc 2 yet, probably fucked also)

Not as bad as it could/should be:

― myke boomnoise (myke boomnoise), Sunday, 23 May 2004 10:36 (twenty years ago) link

so what the fuck is going on with "the scene"? does anyone even care anymore? (i did, a lot, back in february or so, still. not sure if i do now.) are we just waiting to comment until each MC releases their big album?

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 23 May 2004 10:57 (twenty years ago) link

what we are watching is the degrimification of grime.

― myke boomnoise (myke boomnoise), Sunday, 23 May 2004 11:03 (twenty years ago) link

that's article's fine, a little dry perhaps, but appropriate for a 'the story so far' piece. (a maybe a teensy bit ideologically suspicious for ending on D E E's sean carter "I wanna be an artist, man" move, but eh).

Does anyone know about about the Renegade Boys? They played (unannouced) along Nasty and Roll Deep earlier this year in Amsterdam, and now they have a booking for a big festival next month (Wiley and Dizzee also performing) here in the Netherlands.

the observer article was okay, chris is one of the good guys, though.

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 11:02 (twenty years ago) link

the OMM piece was the first grime piece in a broadsheet not to make me livid - it must be decent!

"Ice Rink" didn't start Wiley's obsession with coldness though, "Eskimo" did. "Ice Rink" started grime's ragga-inspired fashion for versions. Shame the Wiley version of Icerink never came out.

the LMHR festival has hit some problems (ie. the met)

http://www.lmhr.org.uk/news/archives/000222.html

― myke boomnoise (myke boomnoise), Saturday, 29 May 2004 22:10 (nineteen years ago) link

Big E D ft. Bruza - The Rush... it's heavy metal grime! Not terribly brill but well funny.

But I love Danny Weed ft. Kano and Demon - Bring Armz! Demon is a perfect fusion of Dizzee and Sharkie! He sounds so utterly outraged and piqued - that high pitched yelp is delightful!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 01:27 (nineteen years ago) link

There's an untitled Jammer track on the current Pirate Sessions on 1xtra which is just massive, this minimal loop that could end up having "Grindin"-style ubiquity - it's got a ton of MCs on it and just sounds unbelievably great.

I don't understand all the grumblings about quality control in grime - every time I listen to 1xtra all the grime tracks sound consistently fantastic. Where's the crappy stuff?

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 01:43 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh Gesh!
Jammer - Untitiled is MURKY
He's obviously been busy in his time away from the limelight. Shizzle, Tinchy Strider and FloDan's versions are my favourites so far.

― tinman, Friday, 4 June 2004 09:27 (nineteen years ago) link

are the mp3s around? and what happened to DC++, anyway?!

― toby (tsg20), Friday, 4 June 2004 09:31 (nineteen years ago) link

So Demon is a grime MC as well as the French house producer Ronan's been bigging up? Dammit - I was hoping for some insane grime-filterdisco thing.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 4 June 2004 10:21 (nineteen years ago) link

there is some filtered disco thing on the current Roll Deep album demos. eeek!

― martin (martin), Friday, 4 June 2004 13:08 (nineteen years ago) link

oh shit 2!!!!!
"ohshit!!!!!!!!!!!!! i just heard the best tune ever!!!!!!!!

i just found out what this is - dizzee rascal - "strings"...should be winging its way to me v soon. this is the only thing that has excited me for a while grime wise. what else.
