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!

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.

how do people in the scene compare 2004 to 2003? better/worse/different in what way?
have there been any minor/major general changes in the music/scene?
is the scene in danger of becoming too hip hoppy or MC-based?
― DVD (dickvandyke), Saturday, 16 October 2004 22:26 (nineteen years ago) link
I'd say that happened in 2001.

Not that it matters now, but when I wrote this I intended to use the second sentence to link to my post and then wrote the third by mistake. Just in case Spencer thought I was getting snitchy about him not being on the ball (and credit where credit's due, it was Luka who got me onto that track).

Not at all! And I like the "shivery oscillator synth" description. Actually with grime, I always feel like release dates etc are a little, uh, murky. I'm never sure if I'm way ahead or way behind on any particular track.

Class A are from Leicester, they put out a couple of 12"s on Platinum Projects (XL imprint) early last year. They were using Playstation back then but I don't think they are anymore.
― Jason J, Sunday, 17 October 2004 23:09 (nineteen years ago) link
class a, to *me* at least, from the first few tracks of their album i heard, dont sound all that much like the grime stuff coming out of london right now. they seem to remind me more of early proto-grime and stuff like that. only heard a few songs though, which i skipped through cos it didnt do much for me. bit odd how XL didnt want wiley but want these guys.

Other track I'm feeling, "No Help, No Handouts" by Unorthodox. A killer female emcee and a couple dudes over some dark Castlevania ambience, it's a winning combination. Big tune.

back issues are worth chasing, esp the one with the Jammer mix CD. 20-30 tracks mixed; they still sound fresh.
the Run the Road comp has a new track from Unorthadox's Nolay (the killer female emcee, mentioned above). look out for that this nov.
also re Danny Weed, he produced the Roll Deep track on Run the Road. it features this chicago-house-esque piano loop plus trim, wiley n co. mmm...

this phrase sounds totally weird to me. granted i've not heard this, but every other time ive heard b-live, he has appeared to be the worst mc ever. like, thanks for rendering cd1 of 'street beats' unlistenable dude! granted, its mostly about his shocking 'american' accent, but maybe hes dropped that.

as far as random grime observations, can i say its odd how no one on ILX except a few people that seem to get shot down think dizzee has somewhat strayed from grime. or perhaps he hasnt, hes just redefining it. or perhaps that last sentence is an easy way to avoid admitting that hes gone a bit pop (or 'slick') on the new album. i was perusing the boards of rwdmag and 1xtra and some signs of dissension are about (predictably!).
