Hmmm...what can I say about this collection of EP's. I really like it, but not for listening to at home. It is very much a club/party album or listening to in a car showing off your new sub in the boot. Enjoyable stuff...although I think it will have more haters here than likers. |

Anyone in the Liverpool area tomorrow will probably see a pissed white boy who is burnt to fuck sitting in a car completely pissed attempting to MC over the tracks. |

well thats ok then, better than my purple fiesta anyhow |

i got it yesterday, i thought it was good, but the first few tracks were the best. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Far better than the Wiley album... And smooth to hear these tracks without mindless MCing over as well... (Was playing some at +50% last night, which brings out the jungle flavour...give it a try, it's kinda's surprising..)... BTW did you notice The Observer Music Monthly mag had a piece about Grime this week?...Better (so very) last than never, I guess... ... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah Mark One's stuff seems to have technically the best production, but I prefer some of the other tracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah Wileys album was really weak...he watered stuff down to try and ride on Dizzee Rascals media ticket and it hasn't worked. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah iv only listened to it once, but mark one seemed the most promising |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yep, I was expecting something better from Plastikman - the other 2 (esp Mark One) are more like it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Plasticman, not Plastikman.. Although it would be funny if they turned out to be one and the same. Not likely though.. are two more -related threads for your delectation. |

Frank Grimes.. from the simpsons? |

i was so disappointed with wiley's album. where are the fucking basslines? his lyrics aren't half as interesting as dizzee's and his delivery is just flat compared to dizzee's histrionic yelp. cheers for the link jand. london people: d'ya reckon a posh-voiced skinny white bwoy like myself would return from a trip to Rhythm Division records in E3 with both mobile phone and dignity intact? or am i just being a pussyclot? i'm guessing adopted slang like pussyclot and bwoy would be strictly off limits, heheh. |

Why would you have a problem going into a record store? Most people are nice and you can run into shitbags anywhere you go, so I wouldn't feel overly worried visiting this establishment. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
true. but then most record stores are in city centres/shopping areas, not one of the 5 most deprived boroughs in the country. i suppose the physical danger is trivial. i'm more worried about being laughed at/mocked for being a grime 'tourist' - y'know, relatively affluent white kids slumming it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what is this, the resurrection of grunge or something? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
erm, no. dizzee rascal 'i luv u' should be readily downloadable. check it for the archetypal east london grime sound. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You'll be fine, ya wuss ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i know :) i'm a worrier, like my man rascal |
||||||||
|
|

So, playing it now, Slaughter Mob's 1st track on the 12" is the mediocre Scavenjah, compared to the awesome "Dub Weapon" which is in its place on the copy I got off SS. Is Dub Weapon on the CD version or summit? Cheers. |
||||||||

Ignore my previous comments re: Plasticman above - Running em thru a real capable system today taught my ears (& arse) what real bass can sound like... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They don't call it sub for nothin' boyo! :) Can anyone shed any light on my above Q? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dunno about the CD . haven't received a full copy of it yet... First in the MP3 set I've got is Dub Weapon (Starts off with some echoed pianos skanks...).... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, that's the track... excellent one, I love it. Grime has displaced the new TLS as my "most played" record of the moment. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why do people find it acceptable to have practically the same name as another prominent musician in the game. I mean , copping a song title or artist name for a screen handl;e is one thing , but you must have cocksucking nerve to release music under someone elses name. changing a letter doesnt fix that shit. |

He's a bugger, isn't he Richie? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
apparenlty 'plasticman' used to write in a magazine under that name.... and so kept it when releasing music so people would know who he is |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's a little like the whole LFO/LFO (Low Frequency Oscillations/Lyte Funky Ones) thing; which caused an amusing misunderstanding in my first year at university. You should have seen the guy's face when I played him the LFO that I was talking about.. Not quite what he had in mind, he had been quite partial to the latter. |

who is markone? and who is slaughter mob? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what is it with the dubstyles on rephlex nowadays? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Rephlex, still so very 1992. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how about system check? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
theres other instances as well . It'd be like me releasing music as autekker. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hey guys some of u might have noticed the live grime sets that are up on the rephlex site, from the live rephlex nights... anyone know what the first tune is that is being played in set 1 it was probably one of the better ones of the night cheers |

From Markone MarkOne has been causing a stir on the scene since his first release on his label Contagious over two years ago. He has appeared in a handful of magazines, including Deuce, Mixmag, B&S, Touch to name a few, and was nominated for BEST GRIME PRODUCER at the 2003 Sidewinder awards. Originally a Drum and Bass producer in Sheffield, he switched up styles after some advice from Oris Jay, and a lot of frustration with the drum and bass scene. When Oris dropped one of his early tunes at Forward, things started moving and he became accepted into the wider Forward scene. Since then Mark has appeared on various compilation albums and has had releases on Polydor's P Records, Soulja, Texture, Immunity, Hard Livin, Vehicle and Contagious as well as having loads of other offers to with other labels. Mark was also responsible for signing up Plasticman to Contagious as well as bringing him into Virus. Mark has played with the Virus crew (who have a show on Rinse FM) and all over the UK as well as internationally; including One Nation in Germany, Rephlex recently took Markone and Plasticman on tour to the US where they rocked it every time. |

Plasticman 21 years old and based in London, Plasticman used to be dj darkstar but switched names when he became known for writing reviews for rewind magazine under the name Plasticman. Plastic's first release was on Slimzee's label Slimzos Recordings and was very successful. His next release was on Mark One's label Contagious after he met him at street sales, the track was “Hard Graft” with a remix from Mark on the other side, it caused a storm on the underground and was in high demand by EVERYONE. At this time he hooked up with Virus syndicate and started doing shows with them on Rinse FM, until the rinse management decided to give him his own Saturday show. His next release was a 3 track ep on Road through Neil at Ammunition followed by his classic “pump up the jam/white gloves” on Souljah. With this record and a lot of great press attention, new tunes on his own terrorhythm label, fatale attraction and more 2 da floor, this year is going to be amazing for Plasticman, and therefore amazing for us. |

Slaughter Mob Formed in 1995, brought together by their love of the darker side of garage, Slaughter Mob are DJ Bandit + DJ Gritty, MC Vicious, MC Dangerous. Having spent years doing the rounds on Y2Kfm, formerly Mission Fm and playing in various venues; Mass, Bagley’s, Stratford Rex, Camden Palace and more recently Plastic People they have now developed their skills to produce their own sound. Spending time in the studio has enabled them to learn and develop the skills needed to produce tracks as a collective and individually – you only have to listen to Q- Gritty’s “Step of”, Vicious + DJ Bandit’s “Strange Tension” & Dangerous’s “Murda” to get a taste of what they are capable off. Now residents at the monthly Forward night at Plastic People, they have found a home to bring their SLT sound to. A guaranteed show-stopper, rolling dub after dub and never afraid to re-load, they are pure entertainment. You can feel their enthusiasm bouncing of the walls. Always ahead of their time musically not everyone has always appreciated the sound they were pushing but that didn’t stop Slaughter and after years of perseverance, it seems they are finally getting the recognition they deserve, especially when last year EL-B (the godfather of dubstep) gave them props on JaDa Flex’s show. |

Get thyself on Soulseek and search for any of the above mentioned names.... There's a lot more to Grime that this one album represents...(especially checkout the Eski-beat stuff from Wiley .. Ground Zero ... Ice Rink ... ) ... |
||||||||
|
|

you talk out of your arse. grime is a new genre - it's been around about 3 years and is still developing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree with your initial post. it's not likely to be day-to-day home listening - definitley a mood/timing-thing, but still got some great moments. rrruff an' t'ing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Grime 2 anyone? I'm enjoying this music more recently without the amateur MCing that often / sometimes goes with it... Some of the new Dizzee stuff is good as well, nasty bass action. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd like to tell you i bought the grime compilation in a underground recordshop, east london, but, no: i bought it in virgin megastore, in a posh parisian street the music is still very very good |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not my thing. i'll stick to listening to the stranglers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Havent really heard any of this yet. Hmmm |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Grime 2 has sort of drifted from what I understood to be grime. It is a lot more musical and melodic than the first Grime release, that's not a bad thing or a good thing, it's just different. I like it though...the asian vibe is excellent |

Not heard either album, but i've been to a few grime-ish nights in manchester which were awesome, live mcs and all that. You get a lot of bass for yer money. |
