I thought it was okay actually, but his ex-partner in crime Cluekid has definitely been putting out the better work recently. I'm continuing to dig the releases on the revived Apollo label actually. The new stuff on there by Makoto and Colonel Red have been great, but then again ya'll know I'm easily pleased, especially when you whack on some nice percussion or vocals so whatever. Actually it's nice to see Colonel Red on there since it makes me feel Apollo might have some unfinished business with the old Broken Beat alumni after they made their first stabs in that style with the Afronaught releases a decade ago, shortly before the imprint seemed to fade away.

The tune isn't terrible, but I'm never a fan of too much American hip hop influence. I guess I'm a bit of a purist. It seems a bit too "ice rap" for my taste. I did just see Mala and Coki on 36 JBL 18's so I might still be afterglowing from that experience just a bit :P His productions definitely fall in line with the name "Sum Ting New." "Nightmare" is an absolute smasher. Cluekid has been really impressive lately. His work is absolutely mint. I'm still blown away by tracks like "Legacy" and "Grim." Edit: I named my cat Makoto.

Crossposting from ML, here's a new UKG track that I've been working on, let me know what you think! There isn't much of a garage/future garage or whatever scene in Cleveland, I'm in the wrong goddamn city for this kind of music but nontheless http://soundcloud.com/stosz/the-hollow

Just picked up Joker - Visions (Instrumentals) from my local for $7. I think I might like it more than the album cuts. All I keep on thinking is, "drat, I need more grime." Even more importantly, I need to see more grime. It's too bad that I don't really see much in my future as I live in Chicago... At least Kode9 is coming to SmartBar! Is anyone going to be there? At $5 pre-sale you really can't beat the price considering how much things like (eek! Mid-Range Bass Alert) Datsik, Excision, etc go for in bigger venues.

So it might have been out for a month already, but I finally picked up the Sleepin' Giantz LP on Tru-Thoughts. Sleepin' Giantz being a collab between Zed Bias, Rodney P and Fallacy. Whoever said too many chefs in the kitchen was a bad thing was wrong. Very wrong. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGJ0r9QJvgo Proper dirty hyper dancefloor action. Zed Bias has been a busy man over the past few years. Not only this LP but next month there's a new single on Julio Bashmore's Broadwalk imprint, a pair of techy House numbers: http://soundcloud.com/juliobashmoremusic/bw002-maddslinky-compuphonic http://soundcloud.com/juliobashmoremusic/bw002-maddslinky-compufonique Pick up the 12" next month from your local favourite record store. Not only that but I think there's supposed to be yet another new Zed Bias LP out sometime on Swamp81, and I even think there's another Maddslinky album on the go too (Tru-Thoughts again maybe?). All we need is a new Phuturistix album and my brain will explode in ectasy.

I didn't like the the a-side so much, Ultraviolet. I do like the Hunter/Game track though. Actually the next release on Hot Creations sounds really good. But I guess that should be expected given Freaks pedigree. Actually it's the Cajmere mix that's really got my ears going. Not too hard, not too soft, gets you bumpin', very nice.

Tomorrow on rinse there's gonna be a Blackdown v Wen v Visionist v Beneath dubplate showcase. Should be massive. If you like dark and minimal sounds definitely check them out. Beneath sounds like early DMZ but with 4x4 beats. Wen's kind of got some UK funky influences but with the space of dubstep and grime vocals to give it some energy. Visionist is just nuts. http://soundcloud.com/beneath http://soundcloud.com/w3n http://soundcloud.com/visionist

Most of the interviews I love are where they're really just talking about themselves and what they listen to, what they love about that. Half the time I think you can understand a hell of a lot more about the music they make when you find out where they're coming from. Technical talk is cool too, as long as it doesn't just veer into, "yeah so I opened up Massive, and pressed this button and it did a thing now everyone can do that thing too!"

Yeah I really liked the Visionist thing on 92 Points, plus he's got a track on that new Keysound EP that's out now I think? Or now-ish. It's got him, Vibezin, Walton and gremino on it. Very nice. I don't actually listen to Blackdown's show live much, though after nearly chucking my wireless out the window after having to listen to Motherwell's excruciating 2-0 defeat at the hands of Levante I need some cheering up. Should've been listening to Rinse then rather than that waste of time.

I'm going to do a grime-centric set on my radio show this week I think and I need some suggestions for compilations/releases/anthologies. I've got a lot of the heavy hitters, like Terror Danjah's anthology, most of Teddy's stuff, a lot of Preditah's, and the Roll Deep releases. Obviously there are EPs and 12"s in there, but I'd like a focus on larger releases just so I don't have to go grab a bunch of things. They can be either vocals or instros.

The RWD comp that came out earlier this year has got a lot of classics from the poppier end of the spectrum on it- http://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/rwd-legacy-rewind-history/id523608039 Lord of the mics also have some gooduns on them, although the most recent one is mainly duds if you ask me... http://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/lord-of-the-mics-iii/id483332557 This is UK grime vol 1 and 2 are also strong selections but if you are looking for newer tunes I'd go elsewhere- http://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/this-is-uk-grime-vol.-ii/id483526182 These are the most obvious ones that popped into my head and you are gonna have to sift through them, for instrumentals you are better off going for individual eps. Grime as a genre has never lended itself to comps really, compared to like garage.

Well there's obviously a whole bunch of artists albums and mixtapes and stuff that you know about, but something like the 100 Grime Instrumental CD Packs Mixing Records put out. I'm not going to lie the quality can be a bit hit and miss, but there's enough quantity there at least. Could be useful to burn some time if you need to. There is a lot of decent wee instrumentals on the CDs though. Actually Benga even makes an appearence or two, including his (admitingly not very grimey) take on the theme tune of the classic children's TV show Tots TV.

Yeah, I was thinking about getting that Instrumental Pack, at least the one with a lot of J-Sweet instrumentals on it. I was also surprised to find out that Kromestar had a grime alias. The riddims weren't the best, but they were still pretty good. I was actually talking with Tokyo Slutty Gal and we were wondering when Soul Jazz was going to put out an early grime collection. Seems like the time is getting near for that sort of thing. Really, though, I just want a lot of Skepta's early production to be on anything other than white labels.

It's not uploaded yet but most Rinse shows show up on the website (rinse.fm) about a week or so after broadcast.

Not because it wasn't any good, but gently caress me he seemed to have like half a dozen new twelves out every week, just way overkill even when he spread it among some alias. As for some kinda grime comp, as much as I'd like to see it I have my doubts you ever will. I think just way too much beef or people who'd want paid for that. Way too hostile. I could see something being done with maybe some of the more chiller producers. Like your Geeneus/Wizzbit and Wonder and whoever. Purely instrumental stuff I guess (like what Wiley put out on Avalanche a few years back), which would be a bit of a shame. Never been a fan of this whole instrumental grime only thing. It's cool and all and I really love the riddims but if you just cut out the whole MCing part you're losing the majority of what the music is about I think.

Has anyone got decent grime or garage vinyl collections? Anyone with decent collections and willing to rip i'd like to collaborate with, i'm happy to do all the work after the plain wavs are available. Particularly those genres but all dance/electronic vinyl is good. Been doing this for other UK genres for ages.. some are really well mapped out and available compared to others. Hardcore and particularly dnb are so much more complete just thanks to a few individuals putting the effort in. I'm working with some people who are archiving everything and UK material is woefully underrepresented. Legally since this stuff is all out of print i bet even producers are interested in such collections rather than being against. infinity2005 fucked around with this message at 18:41 on Aug 27, 2012 |

I really don't know much about it though, seemed to be very 12" orientated and lots of white labels? Grime was pretty 12" based, at least up until about 2005 or so when that just died. A lot of white labels but also a few genuine labels in there. The heady days where 500 white labels would only run you back that same amount in pounds (though don't forget the VAT for mr taxman of course!). I've always thought Grime was kinda the last sound that people actually bought in numbers on vinyl, at least early on. There's always the old stories of the likes of Wiley getting well into 4 figure sales(if not 10k+) with his early stuff, the Wiley Kat/Eskimo stuff. A lot of stuff - especially the white labels - was just sold straight to the shops in London. So you'd get like 50 copies to Uptown, 50 to Rhythm Division or wherever. That's why it was always impossible to find stuff up here, but they still did decent numbers down in London. Some of those Grime guys, they thought loving Watford was up north or something and never bothered their arse! Always thought that's why it never really took off like it should've. It's another reason why some things are so expensive nowadays I guess. Places like Uptown had online stores but I remember at the time a lot of stuff they wanted like £8, £9 or even more for the newest releases. This was when I was younger and didn't have much money (sadly nothing much has changed bar the age bit) and being a cheap oval office I was like, nae chance. Especially when 12" could still be had for like a fiver, maybe £5.50 or something. So basically that's a long winded way of saying I don't have that much Grime vinyl sadly. Bits and pieces but not much. Probably the main reason why the guide has been kinda stuck where it is for a while. Though if anyone has a dying relative with a massive Grime collection and is looking to offload it, please feel free to donate it to the 28 Gun Bad Boy Home for Disused Vinyl. Where we lovingly care for your aged records with dignity and respect, in a clean MDF constructed environment.

Stick a couple of garage classics in there, some brief interludes from 2005/6 then fill the second half of it up with some bait stuff from 2008/09 onwards. I will pull them up though for saying Cockney Thug was an '09 release rather than using the original. Anyway, it seems less a history and more modern studies, since a good part of it seems to pretty much deal with things from 2010 onwards with the whole talking about the big US festival thing or whatever. Kind of a shame though if they wanted to take an American spin on things they could've tried to hunt down some the Americans who were actively involved in the scene rather than the likes of Dieselboy. At least they got Joe Nice. It did remind me I should stick to my promise never to read the comments field on articles.

I'd be up for ripping any collections and sending them back even to get some of the garage/grime better and consistently ripped tagged. Or if anyone wants to provide clean wavs of anything not done from like pre-2006 i'll be happy to do the rest and have a central place for all the contributers to grab what they like from. I'm a bit obsessed with it really haha. But hate to see so much overlooked when it's supposed to be when everything is more easily available than ever.. i just picked up 100 records from a closing down hardcore store for a quid each (and no shipping!) just to make some good copies of. Then i hear about a friend of a friend with 10k italo-disco collection... which is too crazy to think about yet. I have some big plans for future to try and provide out of print vinyl rips in a much better way than currently for people but i'll keep it quiet until i can get it going. I know for sure privately at least friends have already arranged more complete/consistent collections than what you can get literally anywhere else online just hope it can be organized into one.

Such a time intensive process. Wish I could just take on an intern to do all the recording, editing and processing. I probably have around 200 dnb, breakbeat and '06~'07 dubstep vinyl ripped, but still need to truncate the recordings, clean up the files and then label them how I like. Probably get it done four years from now.

There's some nice tools and people willing to spend time to make it all good. the ripping is the real intensive part.. friend of mine used to stay up on amphs all the time spending nights playing hardcore non-stop to get all his done. He still never finished it, someone else to go and bug i reckon
