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

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.

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...

he hosts 1XTRA UKG M1X SHOW every other week

― 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 ?)
some great new tracks to i.d. on the new one
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!

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

Haha! I was just about to post that.

"Essex"

― adam. (nordicskilla), Monday, 20 September 2004 18:25 (nineteen years ago) link

Kano's major label debut.

― JoB (JoB), Monday, 20 September 2004 18:38 (nineteen years ago) link

Warner, weird.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Monday, 20 September 2004 18:41 (nineteen years ago) link

679 Recordings, see also: The Streets.

― JoB (JoB), Monday, 20 September 2004 20:22 (nineteen years ago) link

Cool, "Ps & Qs" is a great track. He still definitely has to release "Boys Luv Girls" though!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Monday, 20 September 2004 22:27 (nineteen years ago) link

it will get a re-release in some format, i'm fairly confident...

― martin (martin), Monday, 20 September 2004 22:51 (nineteen years ago) link

-- martin (martin_clark...), September 19th, 2004.

i heard there was about 8 people there.

rhythm divison has sold out of lord of the mics. is heat in the street 2 worth it?

― luka, Tuesday, 21 September 2004 11:55 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm waiting for Heat In The Street 2 and the Crazy Titch tape to get sent over here via my parents' house.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 12:27 (nineteen years ago) link

Sidewinder was about 3/4 full by 2am. loads of tickets got lost in the post aparantly.

― martin (martin), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 16:57 (nineteen years ago) link

anyone else feeling TremorefireDubz - "My Boo" ?
with this and Babycakes it's practically a full on fluffy 2-step revival
break out those handbags:
"if your game is on give me a call Boo"

― Paul (scifisoul), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 21:10 (nineteen years ago) link

I've been looking for that for a couple weeks - although the original is sort of proto-2-step anyway (Along with Bone Thugs "It's All Good").

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 21:16 (nineteen years ago) link

Gemma Fox - "Paris Hilton Riddim" anyone?

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 26 September 2004 16:07 (nineteen years ago) link

Who heard D Double/Triple Threat - "Hard like Nipple"?

And why aren't more people talking about Lord of the Mic??? It's REALLY good!

― adam. (nordicskilla), Sunday, 26 September 2004 21:02 (nineteen years ago) link

Gemma Fox - "Gone (Delinquent mix)" is *classic* 2-step revival!!!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 27 September 2004 00:02 (nineteen years ago) link

omg omg the riff on "The Rush" is the Deftones' "My Own Summer (Shove It)" which is like my favourite metal song ever omg omg

― toby (tsg20), Monday, 27 September 2004 10:07 (nineteen years ago) link

Haha! I love that Deftones song but I am still not feeling The Rush!

― adam. (nordicskilla), Monday, 27 September 2004 11:14 (nineteen years ago) link

the rush is ok, i think, but nothing special. unlike the deftones.

― toby (tsg20), Monday, 27 September 2004 11:27 (nineteen years ago) link

Do you think if I kill someone and blame it on Forward Riddim that I won't go to jail because it's totally validated?

SHOOT IT, TOMMY GUN, SHOOT IT, MACK-11, SHOOT IT

Has anyone been in a Forward Riddim riot yet? This whole banning thing reminds me of "Never Scared" before it blew up on the tele.

I dled this a while ago and agree, but i have nothing to say about it cause i'm not enough of a grime nerd (sadly).

― artdamages (artdamages), Monday, 27 September 2004 19:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Say how much you like DESTRUCTION w/WIley, Kano, D Double and Doogz!

― adam. (nordicskilla), Monday, 27 September 2004 19:47 (nineteen years ago) link

Is that "Destruction" as in Jammer's "Destruction" or a new tune?

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Monday, 27 September 2004 21:52 (nineteen years ago) link

No, the Jammer beat, with all of those MCs spitting straight FIRE over the top of it.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Monday, 27 September 2004 21:54 (nineteen years ago) link

the 'shoot it' verse isn't in the video incidently. i'm going to get lord of the mics but it's not in stock yet. i've seen bits and pieces and it looks very entertaining. anyone want to give us a rundown of the highlights
eg-discarder gets merked and gets all huffy and aggressive about it, stealing his rivals baseball cap and hurling off the towerblock balcony.

― .., Tuesday, 28 September 2004 08:51 (nineteen years ago) link

highlights of lord of the mic:

- the lethal b wiley diss over 'cant get you out of my head' maybe this is old but ive not heard it before.

- the lady fury track

- ESSENTIALS duh

er cant really remember
i sat down and listened to it all then wrote things down about each track. but then when i was writing it on the computer blogger fucked it and i couldnt be fucked. i'll have anopther listen tonight

but why was no one excited when i talked about it a couple of months ago?! seemed like everyone was hating on it then!

― ambrose (ambrose), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 13:22 (nineteen years ago) link

I liked it, ambrose!

I got some good stuff in the post today, Heat In The Street 2, and the Crazy T/Vader/Mr Wong mixtape, which is straight garage and fucking brilliant on first listen!

Oh, and also Uptown threw in a Paperchase thing called Street Anthems which looks really good, nice roundup of all the good Essentials/Davinche/Terra Danjah stuuf, inc. So Contagious and Gone.

Sorry if this is old news to everyone, please just flatter this dilettante expat, ok? ta.

― The Bitter Tears Of Little Lord Travolta (nordicskilla), Saturday, 2 October 2004 18:12 (nineteen years ago) link

someone hit me up, please!

― cºzen (Cozen), Saturday, 2 October 2004 20:46 (nineteen years ago) link

It's not like I owe you something.

― The Bitter Tears Of Little Lord Travolta (nordicskilla), Saturday, 2 October 2004 20:47 (nineteen years ago) link

love isn't just something.

― cºzen (Cozen), Saturday, 2 October 2004 20:48 (nineteen years ago) link

Okay, I have listened to the Crazy Titch tape three times in a row. I don't think I've done that with anything else this year, except for maybe Wiley and Morgan Geist. Does that make it good?

I think that it easily matches the N.A.S.T.Y. mix, although I guesses it kind of lacks the shock of the new that N.A.S.T.Y. had for me when I first heard it. But still...

xpost haha, it isn't?

― The Bitter Tears Of Little Lord Travolta (nordicskilla), Saturday, 2 October 2004 20:51 (nineteen years ago) link

are you sharing it?
