^^ I know! It's Dubstep/Ragga/Grime/Dancehall!
After posting that link for GA I clicked on "buy" and ordered Peng Food, Harddrive Vol 1 and that free Sama Christmas mix.
As it is UKRS I could get the tracks in a couple of days or a couple of months! I am addicted to Sama's show at the moment - got to chase down the track at the beginning of this week show...its huge!

Yeah, seems so. I got the chipmunk mix cd off them (or was it the Skepta album?) and service was fine. Been going 3 or 4 months now I think. I wish they had more in stock... or maybe I wish BBK and Wiley had more available....

Dear Logan
A bunch of us are wondering how come there were no vocal cuts of Stageshow released on crisp Adamantium vinyl?
Can you give us the low down?
Many thanks

What I'm finding interesting at the moment is - like nomos says - just the unbelievable plethora of material. I'm finding on the file sharing websites that people aren't solely looking for new stuff, there's this huge accumulatory impulse that spans the boundaries of all time zones within grime - the Maximum and Spyro recent set - which is just superb - is a great example, the past years seem to be blending into the present. It sounds like listening to a spiral, and I can't help thinking that, since grime specifically I'd say was the first genre of music to be hit by filesharing, that timezones in which things are made are going to increasingly disappear. And there's something incredibly exciting about music - itself a time bound medium - transcending time.
Grevious I'd try and find anything that Maniac has touched and you might wanna check out Badness. I really like Little Dee and anything the OGs are touching as well. There are some really good tracks on Dee's mixtape.

im finding this is because grime is asserting itself as more than just a genre, i view it more like a culture or a mentality, like hip hop with all its urban tradition grime has its own codes, an emphasis on camouflage, independent urban values, appropriates and encourages new methods of communication/dissemination, is essentially a social scene, you name it. sure a lot of the things ive just mentioned apply to lots of music scenes, but theres something about grime that seems to bring it all these factors together in a much more tangible sense in the city. Perhaps thats what it is, the phenomenal level to which grime is grounded in the urban fabric of london, i dont know. ive been researching as much for a study on the urban influence of the grime scene... but yeah your post really does make sense right now.

really??!
he's EASILY the least talented of the youngers imo. in fact check out any of the youngers i've been banging on about before little d. he's just a bit... rubbish (actually he's got some decent bars but his voice is swag and he can't touch griminal, p-money etc for flows)

Maybe less talented, but he gets the beats and does them - Star in the making, More Than Music, Calm Down, Live In The Booth - are superb tracks. I'm not saying it's a brilliant mixtape - it's not - but I really like the timbre of his voice, he's got a hypeness that's infectious.
P-Money is a beast :
The Ogs mixtape is gonna kill it

Yeah, by being 'culturally' unsuccessful - in the way that I think people were excepting grime to 'blow' or whatever, its paradoxically become much more of a scene, a culture, than it would have done had IT BEEN POSSIBLE for artists to become successful in the mainstream. I do think it's very London though, I like it for that.
I think the filesharing thing is interesting for me, cos I've had to find and go on the sites just to try and keep up with what's going on and who's doing what, to understand. I really don't know how you would do it otherwise.
It'd be good to see what your findings are when yer done with yr study, if you're up for people reading it.

There is no way in hell I'm ordering from a shop I even THINK is run by Wiley until I know one other person who has successfully got something from there and been satisfied with it.
I'd like an alternative though because UKRS are the shittest music retailers I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with. I try to avoid them at all costs.
I disagree, although I see where you're coming from.
His flow isn't very complicated and he has this obnoxious tone of voice, but like Sloane says - the kid can make a good track. When I first heard him freestyling admittedly I thought he was shite and I continued to think that until I heard his mixtape. Turns out he can actually crank out consistently good tunes... which is more than a lot of grime MCs can say.
Although I will say that the best track he's touched is Calm Down which is almost entirely made great by P Money, imo. But then again, P Money is on some next shit so I don't think that's saying much.

Wiley's version of that Calm Down/10 an hour is great as well. I musta had that beat on a loop for about a week. I'd happily listen to a whole version album of that tune.

Well I'm now on order two - will let you know how it goes. I doubt very much that Wiley is there himself with a big box of jiffy bags...
I made an order there the other week and had the cd in a couple of days. Not ordered anymore as yet tho - so that could of been a one off!

minimal aint dead its just (old style) funky house 5 years ago. highlights massive! BBs kate lawler plays it and theres a load of celeb blonde bikini DJs playing it now so as a result of going out to new minimal nights you end up in conversations with folk that that think raster noton is a brand of aftershave
