Next one!

We are very, very proud to be bringing DJ Spooky to Leeds! He will smash it as he always does.





DJ SPOOKY (Slew Dem) >>>
A longtime member of Slew Dem, last year saw him establish himself as a truly vibrant and popular grime producer. He released the massive 'Spartan' 12" on No Hats No Hoods, as well as ‘Murderer EP’ on the colourful new grime label Oil Gang (along with a track on the same label's ‘Quadrant EP’). Add to that the six EPs Spooky has released this year through his own Ghost House label (one of which – ‘A Bag Of Myths EP’ - will be available on white label 12" for free on the night), and you have one hyped-up man!

Vocal remix of 'Spartan' featuring MCs Kozzie, Marger, Merky Ace, Ego & Scrufizzer


Spooky's 2007 reworking of the classic 'Joyride Riddim'



MARGER (Alien Muzik) >>>
Marger is about! The success of last year’s ‘Kushwave EP’ (featuring It’s A Grime Ting and My Thing) has raised him high amongst the crop of so-called ‘new wave of grime MCs’, followed by the recent free ‘Sneaky EP’. Expect a harsh vocal delivery and too much energy.

M.I.K (Family Tree) >>>
Family Tree member M.I.K (Music Is Knowledge) is known for putting the work in. Having released 7 EPs as well as the acclaimed Workaholic and Grime To Five mixtapes, this year has seen him release the ‘Shutdown’ (with Merky Ace) and ‘Do It’ singles. He has vocalled many a Spooky production before and will be http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifready to shut down the dance!

Crawler!

Leeds' own will be dropping his mixtape Just Slew It this year. In the meantime there's plenty on Youtube for you to get stuck into.

This...



...and this one, with Crawler going over a Rude Kid production.

Wariko - Puddin N Treacle (free download)




A couple of months back, the Nottingham MC put out a free download, Puddin N Treacle. I found it on Grimeforum. Production duties on the release are shared between Beatgeeks and ZDot.

Don't forget to look out for the Natural Born Poet album, coming from Wariko this year!

New/old grime blog

This from the feller himself - "My blog, check it out. 320s of old skool grime. Keep old school grime alive on the digital switchover, but don't get it twisted, new school grime is just as sick."

Also, listen to his grime productions as Mossmade Beatz.

GRIME GRIME GRIME ALL THE TIME TIME TIME

2011 is working out pretty well so far for us grime fans in West Yorkshire.
To start things off, here are three reasons why...



Grime Pirates are about! They are a phenomenally hard-working team of artists, MCs, producers and designers that are making proper grime for the people of Leeds and beyond. You will be seeing the name Pakman (GP's head producer) a lot more this year (that's if you haven't already).

Grime Pirates on Facebook


Andwhat? are putting events on at Wire. Two nights old, so far they've had P-Money (OG'z) and Newham Generals' D Double E & Footsie. Next up is Blacks (OG'z) & Kozzie (Family Tree) on Wednesday 13th April. Are you dumb if you miss this? OF COURSE YOU ARE. But you'll be there so it doesn't matter.

Andwhat? on Facebook

King Ov Da Hills is out filming everything that's worth filming around these parts! You cannot front with their workrate and the quality of their productions.
