Terror Danjah - Hardcast June Edition
2008-06-04 21:29:00
What feedback did you get back from the format of Harddrive 1? Are you going to do the same for Volume 2?Alot of people prefered the instrumentals. Its hard to chase the artist, especially in the Grime scene. I think im gonna have the same format as Wookie did on his first album, mainly instrumentals with an artist featured on a few tracks.Is putting 10 instrumentals on a CD your way of saying goodbye to the vinyl, or do you still plan to put them out?Well times have changed, where as a few years ago, producers could sell vinyl and be making profit, as nowadays you'll barely break even due to mainly Grime music is not in the clubs so Dj's dont purchase as much plus the arrival of cdj's have made it hard to sell vinyl. If the trends changed, then I would release vinyl regularly.You haven't really experimented with the other genres like Funky and Bassline yet, is that because you don't like them?Ha ha not yet, well I think its good to experiment with other styles of music, as lon...

Skepta - Rinse 04
2008-06-03 16:59:00
First of all I would like to say this CD is a good listen. I bought it, enjoyed it, have listened a couple of times....But Skepta didn't rep for me on this one. Compared to how Skream represented himself and the dubstep scene on Rinse 02 I think Skepta could of done a better job of making himself look like the all rounder he is and showcase all the grime he is feeling. It is more like a party mixtape you would make for a friend, and these where his motivations behind his song choice as he explains in the commentary with Martin Clark.I just think he could of used this CD to take us in a different direction.Here is what I expected when I heard Skepta was doing Rinse 04:Classic Skepta instrumentals, unheard Skepta and Boy Better Know productions possibly unreleased Meridian crew dubs... I don't know maybe that's too much to ask for. How about the tunes that are on Youtube rotation that he is promoting for Microphone Champion like Dark & Over The Top or other dubs that are floati...

Visiting Butterz on a Sunday Vol.4
2008-06-01 16:23:00
AdulthoodI saw the film during the week, it is pretty good. It is about Sams first day out of prison for murdering Trife. Kinda like a hood version of 24. It is good balance between serious issues and comic relief backed with an all UK soundtrack. Some odd choices like Lethal Bizzle & Kate Nash and a Goldielocks tune but it sounded decent. I heard D Doubles repping London verse pretty prominent in the film which had me sitting in the mumbling to myself the lyrics. I don't want to spoil it too much as it is out June 20th so you can make your own decisions about it.Bashy- Kidulthood to AdulthoodSkepta - The best of the Rolex Sweep.Out on Download 4th of August, will we be tired of it by then? I suppose when the actual music video is done for it, the hype will pick up to generate iTunes sales. Doubt it will do better then Wearing My Rolex though.Free mix season.Half way point of the year. 6 months gone, 6 months to go. All that talk of 2008 being peoples year is quickly fading awa...

Wiley - Grime Wave Review
2008-06-01 04:57:00
This is what I expect from a mixtape. When Wiley promised 5 Tunnel Visions in early 2006 I thought he meant 5 CDs of stuff like this. How we were wrong. We got 6 CDs of freestyles radio rips and war dubs. Although I enjoyed a couple of them, they were unproductive, he could of placed all that effort into one quality release.Grime Kid and Local Lad are the best stuff Wiley has come out with for ages. But as the Rolex hype is surrounding this release, even though it has nothing to do with this project everyone is looking for another tune that would break into the charts. None will, people are saying If your going out could. It is catchy, but it is not Top 40 material, it is good, but not that good.A major flaw with this release is the lack of promotion from Wiley. No Logan Show, no Videos (come on do a cheap Youtube one for Grime Kid) and the tunes aren't even being performed when Wiley is doing shows (and he is doing a lot right now). If it seems like the artist doesn't care about ...

Butterz Volume 2 Download
2008-05-30 12:15:00
We had the Beth Ditto picture on Volume One This time we are going to use Fat Sue as our Butterz Volume Two picture. This is just straight UK music in the mix for your ipod/phone/car/laptop.This is a perfect example of how Grime/Dubstep/Bassline/Funky can work together.If you click on most of the labels it links to a place to buy the music from. It would of been pretty cool to use loads of exclusives, but would defeat the object of spreading the music that is currently out there making noise.

Rapid - Top 3 Selected Producer
2008-05-25 15:45:00
RapidOne of the great recurring topics on Grime Forum is who are the best grime producers? The same names always come up; Rapid, Davinche, Wiley, Skepta, Terror Danjah, Dexplicit among others. Rapid has been around for a while, but has never spoken before on his thoughts on Grime, Funky, Dubstep and the way forward for himself and Ruff Squad.Rapid, first of all how comes we don't hear much from you? Other producers like Skitz Beatz and Terror Danjah have put together their own compilation albums what have you been up to?I have been upping the levels, I took on University full time doing Music Technology, and I am doing rave promotions. I took a year out before I went to University to work and put money towards my studio set up. Now its there, I am ready to go. I don't mind if I am ten mixtapes behind anyone else I know when mine comes out it will be untouchable.Me and Dirty have done an instrumental mixtape 40 tracks old and new. People always ask for them, so we will give it to t...

Version Diversion
2008-05-23 00:43:00
I don't understand why Grime has pretty much abandoned the version excursion.I am saying abandoned like there are loads; the only major ones by my recollection are: Pum Pum Riddim, Backwards Riddim, No Bass, Battle Riddim, Zumpi Hunter, Ghetto Kyote, Straights and most recently Stageshow Riddim. One of the most memorable is Wiley's Ice Rink which GrimeTapes.Com has brought back to life with this set. Download HERE Where Wiley Premiers 12 versions including Kanos, Tinchy Stryders & Dizzee Rascals.I would of thought the version track (as long as the beats good) works for both producer and MC. The producer quickly gets a beat familiar and gets every other DJ calling them for the tune. It is a fast way to blow a tune, and as long as it is out quickly it can sell whatever vinyl sells these days and it will be on every phone and Ipod within the land. It is a good look for hype around a producers name. A stand out version is enough to push a strong product. Skitz Beatz pushed his f...

Joker(Left) & Buggsy How would you describe your music? Tunes like Gully Brook & Holly Brook have been played by Dubstep & Grime DJs are you deliberately trying to appeal to both?Joker: I'm not really trying nothing I'm just doing me and that what comes out, I'm not trying to make grime/dubstep, I'm just making what I make and it appeals to these guys innit.Do you want MCs to vocal your tunes? Are there any vocals already done by MCs that we will know?Joker: No I dont mc at all I just chat shit lol and there are no mcs u will no, infact some may have herd of Buggsy the rest u will no about soon!How would you feel about an MC vocalling one of your tunes that is yet to be released and putting it on their mixtapes without permission?Joker: I wouldnt be pissed but I would but then this the thing about the grime mcs there unproffessional init so it wouldnt shock me.

Kano Says/ Dirty Canvas/ Bank Holiday Weekend
2008-05-20 09:43:00
Is it good to have Kano back? Rock Vs Rap ***************************************** ************************Wiley @ Dirty *Yawn* Canvas . I am done with DC. I don't care if this is the only place you can really hear Grime live. It's pants. The same DJ's over and over, same MCs and poor 2nd rooms make this a miss able event for me every month. Maybe if it was bi monthly, artists booked on what is coming out or making a lot of noise (Why haven't OGs/Smasher/Double S/Bashy/Silencer/ Scratcha been booked!) Instead they appear to book people you can see at many other nights in and around LDN so line ups for these type of nights are looking samey and tired.Another issue I have with DC is their random bookings i.e Sunship & MJ Cole? If people want to hear old school Garage, surely you could get one of the current DJs like Spyro or Vectra to dig in their boxes. Some of the stuff Ive heard Sunship play in the raves is from the late 90s, and to the DC audie...

2008-05-03 18:57:00
The first quarter of the year is done, could you sum up grimes achievements in brief for us, and what do we have to look forward to for the next 3 months or so?The scene can take credit for making a couple of pop hits in wearing my Rolex and Rolex sweep, but they aren't traditional grime records. In terms of the achievements of grime music, it just continues to produce a steady strong flow of good music and is slowly building a structure to get that music released to a wider audience through hmvs and other chain stores. Hopefully digital and vinyl releases can match the strong sales of Cd's soon.What do you think is the roll of the grime DJ in 2008? There are big underground DJ e.g Spyro, Maximum & Vectra how do you think they can push the music better?The deejay's roll is twofold. To provide music for the live sets mixing up the instrumentals, and to work behind the scenes to promote the music and artists in the scene.How do you think young DJ can get into grime?

'I Rep London Town and I'm Gonna Lock This Down'
2008-04-07 14:29:00
?MC No.1?? Arguably, but in a grime scene that has evolved from Kano ?s last jaunts to East Ham it is a bit of claim. Nothing wrong with a little hype, but such a title seems odd on a mixtape that has had no real promotion whatsoever. Kano?s latest is out today, exclusively from Uptown Records .Kane passed through Westwood on Saturday, seemingly his newest and now biggest fan, to spit over a bit of hip hop. Kane was also good enough to talk a little about the CD, as well as the direction in which he is now going after parting company with 679 Recordings. I had no idea Kano was going to be on radio. I was drunk at a party and Westwood was on the dial, and instead of giving it the customary Saturday evening air-time I actually listened to it. It was big. It?s strange, because instead of thinking ?Kane you wastecadet, what happened?, it was actually pleasing to hear a UK act duppying American beats. Kano has had his fair share of flak, but he has released two mixtapes when he didn?t ha...

Then there are other people, that are making really entertaining music videos for grime songs; the biggest to date surfaced this week Wiley's Wearing My Rolex Paul McCartney Vs Heather Mills Edit.
