― Jacob (Jacob), Monday, 4 October 2004 13:45 (nineteen years ago) link

been on vinyl about a month

― martin (martin), Monday, 4 October 2004 14:26 (nineteen years ago) link

Yay! That looks fantastic!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 4 October 2004 14:28 (nineteen years ago) link

big up martin.

― splooge (thesplooge), Monday, 4 October 2004 14:43 (nineteen years ago) link

hey martin, dyou happen to know if it's the regular 679 PR person handling press for your comp? I'd love to get hold of a copy for review purposes.

― splooge (thesplooge), Monday, 4 October 2004 14:52 (nineteen years ago) link

email me mr splooge...

― martin (martin), Monday, 4 October 2004 15:53 (nineteen years ago) link

looks like shystie has been shifted from polydor... not sure why though. i like the idea of her going indie as the album wasnt nearly grime enough to my ears.

TNT ft. J2K & Crazy Titch - Stop

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Monday, 4 October 2004 23:17 (nineteen years ago) link

Why? Because of that amazing call-and-response chorus between Crazy and J2K, and for that awesome section where the fidgety 8-bar beat suddenly goes into 4/4 pounding to build up to the final chorus.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Monday, 4 October 2004 23:20 (nineteen years ago) link

you seen this on vinyl or MP3?

― martin (martin), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 08:51 (nineteen years ago) link

Ha ha NO. Martin I live in a grime desert. But 1xtra is my friend.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 10:00 (nineteen years ago) link

1Xtra is my friend too. :)

What happened to Skepta?

― Tous Les Garcons S'Appellent Little Lord Travolta (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 14:23 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah he has gone real quiet recently. that's grime for you. don't release a record for two months and you're no long a topboy. all about Da VinChe and Terror right now, but will they still be big by Christmas? Dubplate culture is relentless..

― martin (martin), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 15:33 (nineteen years ago) link

i missed that talent quest thing with fatman scoop but my mate said it had lady fury and crazy titch and all sorts of people on there competing. anyone see that? i heard crazy titch on westwood too. westwood played silly arsehole.

― ...., Tuesday, 5 October 2004 21:27 (nineteen years ago) link

westwood played crazy titch? excellent!

that talent quest thing was a bit of a joke. basically, its a case of if youre pretty and female (and look white), scoop will see you now.

― splooge (thesplooge), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 09:11 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah westwoods got a huge audience so its good to see him getting behind those boys. people laugh at westwood and for good reason but he's got his ear to the street, he very rarely slips up. he (astutely) never got behind worthy brit-rap like the brotherhood but hes had wiley, dizzee and titch all up in the studio. just like how he never really backed rawkus/fondle 'em etc etc.

― ..., Thursday, 7 October 2004 17:44 (nineteen years ago) link

TRIM TALIBAN IS THE FUCKING SHIZZLE

ALSO,HUSH UP ABOUT WESTWOOD HE IS THE DON

― TH, Thursday, 7 October 2004 18:03 (nineteen years ago) link

that he never got behind rawkus and fondle em is a bit of a shame actually.

the idea that he never slips up is slightly laughable though.

― splooge (thesplooge), Thursday, 7 October 2004 19:12 (nineteen years ago) link

supposedly crazy titch has dissed dizzee over terror squad's lean back beat.... not heard it though.

SUCK OUT

― 2-tekz, Wednesday, 13 October 2004 14:21 (nineteen years ago) link

NICE, but I like Flo Dan. Does that make me an indie kid?

― adam. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 14:40 (nineteen years ago) link

i think only indie kids can really think marga man is good or deserved a place on dizzee's or anyones album.

― splooge (thesplooge), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 14:42 (nineteen years ago) link

I like Marga Man alright.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 14:44 (nineteen years ago) link

He is a foil, a counterpoint.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 14:44 (nineteen years ago) link

he is a fool! never mind him being a counterpoint. that voice is just horrid. he should replace someone in big brovaz.

R.U.F.F.!!!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 16:48 (nineteen years ago) link

Where's Shark Major nowadays?

― Seth, Thursday, 14 October 2004 18:49 (nineteen years ago) link

i'm scared of any of them/not some of them/not none of them/not one of them/the boogey man...

― martin (martin), Thursday, 14 October 2004 19:27 (nineteen years ago) link

also suprisingly B-Live has made a move in grime. check the audio vocal of Wiley's Fire Hydrant that Cameo has been playing on 1Xtra...

― martin (martin), Thursday, 14 October 2004 19:28 (nineteen years ago) link

fire hydrant is incredible.

― DVD (dickvandyke), Thursday, 14 October 2004 19:45 (nineteen years ago) link

ohmydayz did anyone else in London hear roll deep back on rinse last night?

karnage, wiley, stratchy, trim. wiley was so happy! joking, taking the pee. scratchy rhyming about dinosaurs. trim's rhymes are getting so observant too. karnage playing so many dubs, so much warm yet innovative vocal stuff.

― martin (martin), Friday, 15 October 2004 09:16 (nineteen years ago) link

no i bloody missed it! you didnt tape it by any chance did you martin clark?!?! ;)

― DVD (dickvandyke), Friday, 15 October 2004 09:18 (nineteen years ago) link

i did minidisc it, as it happens :)
but i dont know an easy way to convert it into other formats. minidisc->Logic Audio->CD is looooong

― martin (martin), Friday, 15 October 2004 09:42 (nineteen years ago) link

i know we dont know each other but if there's any way you could copy it onto a minidisc or something, i would be hugely appreciative. i would trade something with you to make it fair, of course. whaddya say?

― DVD (dickvandyke), Friday, 15 October 2004 09:52 (nineteen years ago) link

erm i hear your plea but i think you'd need to by me a new hard drive as an hour of audio is more memory than i have space..

― martin (martin), Friday, 15 October 2004 10:09 (nineteen years ago) link

i thought you had it on MD. didnt think that was too hard to copy. but not to worry, ill try and get it another way.

― DVD (dickvandyke), Friday, 15 October 2004 10:21 (nineteen years ago) link

ok, so... this track:

Ruff Sqwad - "R.U.F.F."

or possibly

Ruff Squad - "R U Double F"

or some variation of those

is one of my top ten singles of the year! Paul Scifisoul hooked me up with it, but I need a higher quality or real copy, preferably with an instrumental too. The synth line is INSANE!!! I *love* it!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Saturday, 16 October 2004 04:05 (nineteen years ago) link

and a vinyl for me please... ! )

― Paul (scifisoul), Saturday, 16 October 2004 04:36 (nineteen years ago) link

Spencer, "R.U.F.F." is about a year and a half old. I talked about it here. I wrote about it at the bottom of this post.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Saturday, 16 October 2004 05:29 (nineteen years ago) link

It was my favourite grime track of last year though so you've got good taste!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Saturday, 16 October 2004 05:30 (nineteen years ago) link

"R.U.F.F." is about a year and a half old.

Wow! I haven't been able to find the vinyl on the web so I just assumed it was new. That melody is really amazing - does it come from something else? It's exotic in an east-Asian way.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Saturday, 16 October 2004 17:33 (nineteen years ago) link

Spencer, it was Tim's championing of it that led to me downloading and including on that Grime comp. never seen the vinyl for sale.

anyone ever put together a Ruff Sqwad comp? if so, tracklist please?

― Paul (scifisoul), Saturday, 16 October 2004 17:40 (nineteen years ago) link

off the top of the dome. i left off 'move' and the offical rmxs cos they suck, put on tinchy on icerink if u want. obv mirc, dc++ and radio spods might be better equipped 4 this

― candour floss (mwah), Saturday, 16 October 2004 17:53 (nineteen years ago) link

(u pick a vocal) i mean. also i think theres another ok riddim on the back of one of 'move' or 'ur love' but i wasnt overly wow about it

spencer will also like j-sweet/sarah j/d double - burning up form cameo's last show

― candour floss (mwah), Saturday, 16 October 2004 17:55 (nineteen years ago) link

"These Days", it's the best Rapid misty cold ice palace riddim and no one ever reps for it. Plus amazing lyrics.

― 2tekz, Saturday, 16 October 2004 18:15 (nineteen years ago) link

It's kind of like on Zelda when you step in front of the icy cold breath dragon thing and turn into a big block of ice.

HEY DOES ANYONE REMEMBER DANNY WEED? HIS OLD STUFF IS STILL REALLY THE BEST MUSIC EVER MADE.

― 2tekz, Saturday, 16 October 2004 18:16 (nineteen years ago) link

ahhh yeah my bad. it's no way the best tho! oh hey is 'these days' is the vocal of root? it sounds familiar but my room is way too messy to check

― candour floss (mwah), Saturday, 16 October 2004 18:29 (nineteen years ago) link

*Listening now to the Cameo show* It's a good track, but the "soul" in the vocal is maybe a little too 'earnest'? That Cage track that kicks it off is really great - although he does a couple annoying lyric shoe-horns that I'm not so into. I hope there's a dub. The Delinquent track is interesting as it's almost a Craig David 2-step throwback.
