J Mixer 'Sweet Love'

Link: J Mixer 'Sweet Love' (cut from this septik mix at RWD)

I posted a query about this in the grime thread but it got air. Anyway, I think it merits its own thread. Who's heard this one? I think it's fairly new - caught it on Rinse twice this week on Tootsi and Glamma's shows. I don't know anything about J Mixer besides what it says on his MySpace - he's 17 and doesn't seem to be connected to any of the grime crews.

This track is fantastic. The beat chopping and the general illness of it reminds me a bit of Chunky Bizzle's 'Tools Too Big' EP from last year, but not so menacing. But what really stands out is the slow motion vocal - dark and sweet at the same time. It almost has a chopped and screwed feel to it, but via 2step. And it really deftly straddles that rough v. 'feminine-pressure' divide that we're always talking about without making a caricature of either.

I'm interested in people's thoughts.

I can't listen at work, does it sample the Anita Baker song of the same name?
Please say yes.

You uploaded a clip of 2 tunes in the mix.

I have no idea what the first one is. I would assume that is J Mixer "Sweet Love"

And then a third of the way into the clip, the DJ brings in "Nobody Knows" by Rossi B & luca.

Fucking wicked little tune.

Crying out for some nicely nuanced MCing over the top.

There's another good tune on his myspace... I'm Ready, a version of the Ready For Love sample.

I think it's safe to say that most 17 year old "bedroom" producers don't do stuff this good.

yeah sounds nice, as does one of the tracks on myspace

i would maybe be a bit more discreet about naming tracks you have sampled tho!

Big up J Mixer, sick producer, constantly improving.

Sorry you didn't get a longer listen of 'Sweet Love' on its own in that mix.

My favourite J Mixer productions are 'Wrong side of life' (First Track in J Mixer Showcase) and an untitled song similar in style to 'I'm ready' (Here's a clip of it in the mix)

Next favourite would have to be Jordan Riddem. simply for the fact that it sounds sick in any mix with virtually any tune.
