Margins Music Redux: Video Preview

Blackdown and Dusk have cooked up a neat little preview video for Margins Music Redux or, as I like to call it…

GRIEVOUS ANGEL MEETS BLACKDOWN AND DUSK UPTOWN!!!!!!!

It gives you a fair idea of what it’s like… but the actual mix is much better… it’s a real headfuck. Disorientating…

Soundclash bigged up by Boomkat

Niiice review from Boomkat! Pleased with that.

Soundclashboomkat

Soundclash is the best thing I’ve ever done. Maybe the best thing I’ll ever do. It’s massive, it moves the crowd every time people play it. But it’s a choon – a song – it’s not a mix tool, though Atki2 uses it that way, it’s a record that people connect to. It’s worth having.

Harpy compared to Wiley… like that… Harpy’s arpeggiated heavy jazz wonk out of eski-bizniz… I’ll take that…

Soundclash full release is here

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!

Ice Rink Funky Remix ERZULIE03 dropping soon

I LOVE THIS WAR AND I LOVE GUNS.

The next Grievous Angel release in my guise as BUBBLEZ is about to drop on Devotional Dubz… my third release on my own 100% bootleg label is the funky remix of Wiley’s magnificent ICE RINK featuring Riko. I reckon this is the ultimate UK gun man tune in any genre and definitely the ultimate funky gun man tune. Serious Ogun business.

As you know this has been caned already by loads of top DJs… FACT Magazine already covered it as a track of the week… It’s a good tune. And it has to be. Ice Rink is one of THE seminal grime tracks, it’s just awesome. Here’s video of the original with Kano et al.

Anyway. It’s out soon. Well it should be, I’ve had the TPs and they sound alright so it shouldn’t be long. There won’t be many of them and there won’t be a repress.

Audio in the CrazyLegs mix I did here.

I’ll let you know when it drops.

Grievous Angel on Idle Hands – hottest new label on scene?

Amazing new tunage incoming –Β yes I know, yet more!

Idle Hands is, as the better connected among you know, the fab new label out of Bristol’s magnificent Rooted record shop…

Idle001 was a wonderful bit of subtechno shuffle matched with utterly Bristolian subby skank… and Idle002 is sheer quality, probably even better! The lead cut is Atki2’s utterly RIDICULOUS remix of Hanuman’s Bola which is… well it’s so good I can scarcely put it into words… it’s a superb bit of fat, bouncy deep, deep, DEEEEEEEP house music that is right up there with Theo, MAW, anyone you want to mention. Totally on it, totally next level, if Cooly G had made it she’d the Queen by now. Awesome.

And on the flip is Dub Boy and Atki2’s Tigerflower, a great little post-soca Karnival-style tune that really sets floors alight. Plus of course my own remix of it, which is absolutely BANGING hard crunchy funky. Real peaktime jump up gear. And from a geek perspective, it’s the best mixdown I’ve done yet!

Atki2 is a dynamite producer btw, very underrated – you haven’t heard his simply awesome Time Freezes yet? Ah. Then you haven’t heard the best record of 2010. Trust.
