I wanted to do a mix of rough as fuck MC-driven garage… the stuff that flowed from UK fast chat and US hiphop and eventually filtered into grime in 2002. And here it is – a new year’s present for you. It is here. www.grievousangel.net/GAMixes/MC_Garage.mp3 Tracklisting: Digital Dubz: Sound of Da Police Refix 1999 [...]

Martin Blackdown Clark was kind enough to let me remix Margins Music, his first album with Dusk, and to promo the release I did two mixes for his blog. This is the first one, re-mastered, tidied up a bit, and now available straight off this site rather than via a fileshare service. It’s a selection [...]

Following my big interview at the Fundamental Garage blog I’ve done a mix of Future Garage for them. It’s here – check it out, there’s a load there I had a blast doing this mix. Quite a few dubs, including a bunch of new things from me, and a few favourites. It’s good fun, deep [...]

I am playing in Manchester on Friday 11th at Band on the Wall. The line up is AMAZING! Dusk and Blackdown playing Margin’s Music live – I remixed the album, got them into Ableton, now they’re playing it out! But with a massive twist – they’ve got a whole live band too, including Farah. AAAAAAAANNDD… [...]

My interview with Inverted Audio is now up. It’s here. PLUS, my new mix for Inverted Audio is also now up. This is the follow up to the Dub Tech mix from February – only all digital instead of all vinyl (and all the better for it). It’s very percussive, deep, techy dubstep – the [...]

Soundclash artwork is here. It looks amazing. The photography was specially comissioned and is of a little corner of London that us of great personal and psychogeographical importance to me. Very happy about this!

My contribution to excellent Bristol nightclub Crazy Leg’s terrific series of dj mixes is now up. Get it here. Note that the link has changed. I went for garage, UK funky and proper house here. The mix is bouncy but fairly deep, goes just about as banging as you could possibly want UK funky to [...]

I’ve been promising this for ages. Now the Devotional Dubz mix is finally out – thank god, took forever! – I can start clearing out some of the backlog of other, less vital mixes. First up is my first ever 2step mix, even predating the Abstract 2Step mix. It’s from – as you can tell [...]

The first Devotional Dubz mix is now up on the FACT Magazine site. Do please check it out. It’s probably the best thing I’ve ever done. Here’s some backstory. In the summer, I put out Lady Dub, the first of the Devotional Dubz series of dubstep / dark garage refixes of r’n’b tunes, which was [...]

I’ve been caning old 2003-era Social Circles gear recently. I just can’t enough of it – that moment when garage had turned grimey but wasn’t quite grime, was feeding into what would become dubstep, and was utterly banging and incredibly danceable. Following the brilliant 2step revival that we’ve seen this year I would really like [...]

I spent a delightful day at the distributor yesterday, stamping and marking each and every Lady Dub in the world. The finished vinyl was back from the plant a bit quicker than we expected so I hotfooted it over to Manchester – and there they were! Box after box of beautiful, crisp virgin vinyl.  [...]

Yeah – it’s out, a couple of days early! Sounds of the Universe calls it a “Dazzling and timely fusing of genres from dubstep to techno, uk garage to bashment”, which is flattering. It’s certainly a fusing of genres. There are samples of We Want You, Lickle Friction (sounding surprisingly banging!) and 1985 Style up [...]

The first Grievous Angel album is called [b]Belief is the Enemy[/b]. It’s out on 27th June on Elektrik Dragon, through Baked Goods. It’s a two disc set: the album comes with a mix CD, called [b]Believe in Dub[/b]. It’s a proper album. There’s a load of different flavours here… pounding hard techno-y gear, sweet soft [...]

Thanks to all who have sent in information on the B15 project. It’s fascinating! There is I think scope for an article on UB40′s contribution to UK (and indeed JA) reggae – apart from the fact that the first album (and it’s dub version) is fantastic, they are actually a proper reggae band that has [...]

I’ve wanted to do this for aaaaagges. When I was talking to droid about what sort of blogariddims I wanted to do next, I had a bunch of ideas in mind, including: * a techno-y dubstep thing (this is forthcoming!) * a jungle one (also forthcoming – part three of the 94-era jungle series, this [...]
