"you're messing with the New Cross slew boss"

― blimp, Wednesday, 1 September 2004 19:15 (nineteen years ago) link

alot of organic instrument sounds in this. Roll Deep's "Flying Away" sounds like there's a whole band!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 19:17 (nineteen years ago) link

I have not listened to any grime in weeks! :(

― adam. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 21:49 (nineteen years ago) link

Check the current Cameo show adam!

"Flying Away" was great too!

Terror Danjah latest mix show

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/1xtra_aod.shtml?ukgmix

couple of interesting points. all the vocal tracks at the beginning - more evidence for grime going back towards the vocal/r&b side.

also L Man. his lyrical content, in the early part does that thing KRS One used to do, spitting random facts about slavery. nice subject matter but i never think it lyrically works, overwhelming listeners with random hystorical data...

thoughts?

( ps anyone know what the indian lick riddim that comes in at 01h:12m:40s ? )

L Man from NAA? I thought he was white.

― scg, Monday, 6 September 2004 11:47 (nineteen years ago) link

he is...

- Don’t get too lean or mash up or nuffink, or you won’t be thinking straight, and that’s when you can end up pressing a rotter.

― Barnaby (Barnaby), Monday, 6 September 2004 14:35 (nineteen years ago) link

just checked L Man - some of the best 1XTRA on air MCing I've heard

― Paul (scifisoul), Thursday, 9 September 2004 17:59 (nineteen years ago) link

that Big Sikh (?) track "Yeah Yeah" is great too
anyone know who produced the riddim?

― Paul (scifisoul), Thursday, 9 September 2004 18:08 (nineteen years ago) link

Roll Deep at Cargo (London) tomorrow night. come pay yer tenner and play the 'will they wont they turn up' game...!

― martin (martin), Friday, 10 September 2004 09:43 (nineteen years ago) link

Fuck it, I'm in!

― adam. (nordicskilla), Friday, 10 September 2004 10:23 (nineteen years ago) link

Shoreditch oh no

― adam. (nordicskilla), Friday, 10 September 2004 10:25 (nineteen years ago) link

the link between Wiley and Ross Allen is facinating, it dates back to the Pay as U Go Days. but it's not as facinating as this fact: do you know who played keyboards on 'Champagne Dance?' ...

― martin (martin), Friday, 10 September 2004 10:44 (nineteen years ago) link

.... HERBERT!!!!

― martin (martin), Friday, 10 September 2004 10:45 (nineteen years ago) link

:-O

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 10 September 2004 10:48 (nineteen years ago) link

headfuk innit...

― martin (martin), Friday, 10 September 2004 10:51 (nineteen years ago) link

i think the only way i could be more confused right now is if it was someone from blur or something

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 10 September 2004 10:52 (nineteen years ago) link

it's a total UK culture cross-circuit that one.

(it also explains why Herbert was playing Igloo at Sonar last year )

― martin (martin), Friday, 10 September 2004 10:56 (nineteen years ago) link

Didn't he recently drop a set of straight dancehall as well?

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 10 September 2004 11:55 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah out of Igloo or some wiley beat.

anyway if Roll Deep is to shoreditch for some it's the Sidewinder awards at Ocean next saturday. Biggle!

― martin (martin), Friday, 10 September 2004 12:34 (nineteen years ago) link

i heard a track on pirate radios that is a simple loop of some slayer/death metal material, it's quite cool, i think it was Bruzer and another guy shouting on top of it

anybody has a name for that?

― tron, Friday, 10 September 2004 12:36 (nineteen years ago) link

Big E.D. 'The Rush'

― martin (martin), Friday, 10 September 2004 13:24 (nineteen years ago) link

Track ID please. Very popular track, 1 year old at most. There's multiple MC's and there's a pained growl at the end of virtually every verse... anyone?
-- Spencer Chow (spencercho...), August 27th, 2004.

Could it be "Forward" by DJ Mondie? It kind of fits the description.

― Kno Dis, Tuesday, 14 September 2004 16:28 (nineteen years ago) link

Yes! It's actually: DJ Mondie feat. Napa, Ribz, Shizzle & Flirta - "Pull Up That"

It's one of the first tracks on the Cameo 1xtra mix this week (I think Femme Fatale played it a long time ago).

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 14 September 2004 16:51 (nineteen years ago) link

there is very little grime on radio at the moment, not sure why. DTI hitting harder plus big players off making LPs etc...

update please, Martin

― adam. (nordicskilla), Thursday, 16 September 2004 22:27 (nineteen years ago) link

― martin (martin), Friday, 17 September 2004 09:08 (nineteen years ago) link

― ambrose (ambrose), Friday, 17 September 2004 10:23 (nineteen years ago) link

the strongest thing about Essentials is DaVinChe.
Give me Trim or Wiley over a Danny Weed beat any day...

― martin (martin), Friday, 17 September 2004 10:26 (nineteen years ago) link

http://www.xlrecordings.com/wiley/

Dunno if this has already been mentioned,but Wiley apparently has walked out of XM Recordings. Which is understandable as the record was under-promoted. Is that word? Whatever.

Medasyn, aka Gabriel Olegovitch – a young producer who has already remixed Christina Aguilera and Lil' Kim.

He's also worked with Dani Siciliano.

i got channel u! braaap braap!

― adam. (nordicskilla), Friday, 17 September 2004 12:22 (nineteen years ago) link

er, does anyone have a tracklist for the Creeper mixtape? does anyone other than me even like the Creeper mixtape?

― Dave M. (rotten03), Friday, 17 September 2004 14:46 (nineteen years ago) link

― adam. (nordicskilla), Friday, 17 September 2004 14:47 (nineteen years ago) link

uhh... what?

― Dave M. (rotten03), Friday, 17 September 2004 17:29 (nineteen years ago) link

So did anyone else put their money where their blog is and make it to the Sidewinder awards in Hackney...?

― martin (martin), Sunday, 19 September 2004 16:01 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah i would have, but the jet was in for repairs this weekend

― jess (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 19 September 2004 18:22 (nineteen years ago) link

i was gonna put a U.S. disclaimer on that question but i thought it would be bleedingly obvious...

PS no fighting at Sidewinder, fighting at Urban Music Seminar. so garage music "causes" violence does it? etc...

― martin (martin), Sunday, 19 September 2004 21:39 (nineteen years ago) link

check Terror Danjah's latest mixshow !!!

― Paul (scifisoul), Monday, 20 September 2004 11:53 (nineteen years ago) link

same link as Martin's above so either should work for Terror Danjah every other week (alternate week is 4/4 UKG ?)

seems 1XTRA don't post online tracklisting for the mix show - fortunately they announce em on air

― Paul (scifisoul), Monday, 20 September 2004 12:00 (nineteen years ago) link

i'm weirdly fond of bruza lately. propa essex wideboy

― candour floss (mwah), Monday, 20 September 2004 12:03 (nineteen years ago) link

i was suprised to see at the sidewinder awards he was black. for some reason i figured the 'cheeky cockney' was white. not that it makes any difference but it was just a surprise.

― martin (martin), Monday, 20 September 2004 12:10 (nineteen years ago) link

really feeling Footsie & D Double E - "Prang Man"
team of the year!

― Paul (scifisoul), Monday, 20 September 2004 13:22 (nineteen years ago) link

Footsie, D Double, Trim and Scratchy on a Karnage set: Sidewinder was fun...

― martin (martin), Monday, 20 September 2004 13:25 (nineteen years ago) link

so lethal b forward riddim got signed to relentless! chart action ahoy, i'm a bit surprised

― candour floss (mwah), Monday, 20 September 2004 15:29 (nineteen years ago) link

The pained growl (as in "Pull Up That" and other tracks I've been hearing) is the UK equivalent of Lil' Jon's "yeah!" interjections.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 20 September 2004 16:40 (nineteen years ago) link

banned in Essex! too hype!
http://www.rwdmag.com/music_articles/news/16262/forward_riddim_banned/

― Paul (scifisoul), Monday, 20 September 2004 17:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Haha! I was just about to post that.

"Essex"
