yeah i'd go along with that. i got about ten minutes of d.e.e sharky and stormin over jungle. mac 10 just started playing it towards the end of a set a couple of years ago and they're all amazing on it, stormin more than anyone, he smashes it. i don't know what it is with those slow tempoes, but it does always sound rubbish, unless your name's kano, he sounds alright on a slower beat, otherwise its terrible as a general rule.

pretty well tbh! another song that was played at the protests so the kids haven't forgotten it either.

Fwd 2011 isn't very good really, someone needs to take Kano and Chipmunk to the knackers yard really. I'd argue that grime probably means more and is more relevant in Britain in 2011 than it was in 04-05, ie premature internet hype phase.

Also, Flockaveli is basically a grime album.

wish there was more Run The Roads tbh

Whiney G. Weingarten, Wednesday, 12 January 2011 14:34 (thirteen years ago) link

like i always enjoyed grime, but not nearly enough to do the actual homework on cobbling all the rando singles and YouTubes and radio shows that fueled it.

Whiney G. Weingarten, Wednesday, 12 January 2011 14:35 (thirteen years ago) link

Does Spotify work in the US yet? There are a load of grime playlists on there, although that's obviously a bit selective.

Matt DC, Wednesday, 12 January 2011 14:38 (thirteen years ago) link

i wish the bit from Lord of the Decks w/ d double e riding his moped around Newham was on youtube. classic material

"how has this aged for yall half a decade later?"

High points of grime (of which "Pow" was one) still sound really good to me.

Admittedly I probably (like with jungle, garage, well anything UK continuum related) have way way too many discs which lean more toward the mediocre than the sublime, but that's sort of how this works isn't it?

Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 12 January 2011 14:57 (thirteen years ago) link

I'm really excited by stuff going on here atm.
Marger & Rival were set to be a major team, - as demonstrated by this absolute boy of a first set on Logan:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPu9qfB0EIg

but now Margs has gone ego nuts & has basically told Rival to go home and get his fuckin shinebox- "sent to the shop, sent to the shop, Rival use to get sent to the shop". The dub also featured a little send for MIK, who's certainly got a reply. It's not likely Rival will reply- he seems really upset on Twitter.

Instrumentals are v. v. strong at the minute. I love the Spartan meme. the newest remix basically made me dash all my stuff across the room:

these are all amazing in sets:

Oil Gang, Butterz & Pitch Controllers are now doing the releases thing properly, which is great to see.

Trim is back at his best after being in a weird memory crisis last year. It seems that war keeps him going:

Chronik is out of jail, and sounds terrifying these days, and of course Wiley after the avalanche of new music last year has reached an apex of creative zen:

logan sama's aaa rwd mix was my fav grime artifact from back when i used to check for this stuff. so well balanced. but its been since lost to the mists of hard drive failure. can anyone up that?

Footsie recently released a free d/l which is absolutely amazing. there's gotta be a hidden wealth of his own productions w/ d double over them.

christ that ruff squad set from the 22nd is really something.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, January 8, 2004 3:08 AM Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

It really was something, as was the one from the 29th - I guess these are Ruff Sqwad sets on Deja Vu from 22nd/29th December 2003.

Unfortunately, I lost my copies about 7 years ago, and all I can find online is 16 mins of the 29th December set. Does anyone still have them??
