been listening to that BBK Rinse set from 16th June, it's probably the best grime set this year appart from Ghetto and Wretch on Logan this year, and it keeps occuring to me how many good new bars Skepta has...

"The black Nigerian's way to heavy..."
"This little piggy wants me on a riddim widdim..."

erm, there was another too, but i've finished the set now. anyone else feeling them?

To be honest any new Skepta bars not including the words "hardy" or "ed" get a thumbs up from me.

skepta is just an average standard MC to me (not compared to me, but you know what i'm saying)

when i hear him spit on a set i wont turn it over but i wont be listening intently either. he passes the time until a decent MC comes on (trim, wiley, d double, etc.)

I think Skepta's picked up again with the release of Microphone Champion. For a while there, after the release of Greatest Hits, he was excruciatingly boring on sets. I like some of his new bars, he's got some of his old energy back.

It's definitely no "god forgive me if I buss my nine" though. I don't think we'll ever get that Skepta back.

On an unrelated whingy note, it makes no sense to me why Maniac's CD is available from Juno download, but Silencer, Nocturnal, Terror Danjah, DOK, Swindle, Adamantium Records releases, No Hats No Hoods, Ghetto's album, the recent Lava Unit, Killa P etc etc etc etc. isn't.

Go to the dubstep section and see it positively FILLED with no name bedroom producers churning shit out on dubious labels every week. How hard can it be?

Oh sick! It doesn't really satisfy my search for those particular artists, but there is some good shit in there. I really like that Littlefoot release. Purchased.

I wish more producers would fuck around with garage and push it forward a bit. The dubsteppers tried to do it a while back in reaction to wobble but it mostly came off as retredding all the old El-B, Ghost, Zed Bias back catalogue.

I was excited about funky at first because it seemed to return to that kind of aesthetic, promised a wide range of different kinds of sounds you could draw for, had the hard tunes, the girl vocals, the rave appeal etc. But try as I might I can't spin a whole set of funky without ... well, wanting something that sounds more like garage.

Grime and dubstep fuck with it a bit but you're seeing a lot of half-step shit or, in dubstep's case, unquantized LA hip hop influence.

Untold and Brackles, for these reasons, are doing a lot for me right now.

Well if you like that kind of stuff you should check out Atari - 420 (DJ Whistla) the owner of sub.fm's show on, you guessed it, sub.fm! tuesdays 8pm-10pm, he is really got some big artists pushing the "future garage" (as he calls it) envelope. Some of the stuff is really psychadelic and joyfully reminicsent. In a interview on my blog, he said he wanted to get garage moving again, away from the glamour bullshit. I feel it was a genre never explored in its entirety, however garage has a timeless element about it now and again so...?

i dont mind guys revisiting 2step but some of what brackles and co are doing are kinda like prog-garage in a weird kind of way. it doesnt have the vitality of the old stuff, that immediac. it does do something new with it, just by doing that, but i dont really see the point. its post-dubstep 2step. just more evidence of dubstep reverence.
