Plastician’s album; Beg To Differ, came out this week and it’s a banger. I’m a big fan of Plastician becuase I like the way he mixes up grime and dubstep. This video for Intensive Snare is awesome, done by Dr Smoov who’s produced a load of his own episodes of classic cartoons like Transformers and GI Joe. There are some heavy tunes on Beg To Differ, as well as the grimey Real Things there’s some great pure dubstep in tunes like Japan and Vio-Lent. Buy it at Bleep now.

Also, if you’re a follower of goings on in the grime world, you’ll have no doubt spotted by now that grime’s godfather Wiley joined Hot Chip on stage at Glastonbury over the weekend to join in their rendition of Wearing My Rolex as covered in Radio 1’s Live Lounge. I think this is great stuff, along with Wiley’s chart number 2 and Skepta’s Rolex Sweep looking good I think it’s about time some grime artists got a bit of mainstream exposure. A lot of grime purists are arguing that it’s not right becuase these songs aren’t grime, but at the very least its dispelling the stereotype of the grime scene as held by non grime fans. See, it’s not all about shanks, lengs and skets, its all about rolexes.

On the whole Rolex topic, Skepta’s video for the Rolex Sweep is looking awesome, far, far more appropriate than that bollocks with the foxes that was the Wearing My Rolex video. Love the midget MJ
Watch out for the cameo by my new favourite radio DJ; Mistajam. We played the Bournemouth Uni summer ball a few weeks ago and caught his set after we finished. He’s amazing. Also pretty good is the Vandalism remix of the Rolex Sweep:
