So, Wiley’s started previewing his next single and, to the dismay of many grime fans, it’s more electro than grime again, heavily sampling Daft Punk’s Aerodynamic. He’s making more moves towards grime with this one though, it’s got a lot more MCing that Wearing My Rolex but it’s major flaw is that the chorus is shit.
Big up Butterz for the link
JME’s album; Famous?, was out on Monday on iTunes and based on his previous output being essentials to any grime fan, I was all over it like a rash. I was pretty disappointed to be honest, theres not much stand out stuff on there and it kinda feels like just another mixtape. It’s not bad at all, just not as amazing as I’d hoped.
Something interesting off the album is Power, produced by one of my favourite producers; Mr V and featuring everyone’s favourite white man, Tim Westwood.
This instrumental was also vocalled by Durrty Goodz on his Axiom EP released last year. This is something I’d hoped to be able to compare Famous? to becuase, for me, this was a seminal release. Even now it’s stil a great listen and I’ve rinsed it. Bear with the pitched up vocals, it’s not the best track off the EP but it was an easy link.
Talking of Mr V, he’s released a little medley of his bassline tunes for a free download from his myspace. It’s reminded me of how much I rate his productions, so heres a couple of vinyl rips of his past stuff as well.
Mr V’s done a remix of Rolex Sweep as well which I can assure you is extra funky and fully in tune with the summer. Keep your eyes peeled for it
