But surely before it is the DJ's job to entertain, it is the promoter's job to book artists that they believe will entertain their crowd??

All about Respect Me or Stand Up Tall

I think that this would make sense. Afterall - the grime scene has been built around emcee's spitting over instrumentals live on radio and in clubs. Recorded tracks came later. Maybe Disc 2 could be some instrumentals, with some vox laid down over the top by some big emcees.

Cool man, glad you were feeling it. The sound system definitely was better, my ears were ringing until Monday morning.

I've never made Dubstep. Request line has a Sub Bassline - as do 90% of Dubstep productions. Cha never had any sub at all, it is 75% mid range making up the tune, which is textbook for grime production. The fast tempo beat pattern in Cha is also very much a grime thing. It is also a straight up...

I played alongside Lethal B there on Saturday, just wanted to see if anyone was there and had any views / criticisms of the night? From the DJ booth the energy in the place was mental, the Fire Camp boys were going on sick on the mic and it seemed to rub off on the audience. Anyway, would be...

Yeh I think you hit it on the head. Although I'm not influenced by electro, some of the stuff does bear resemblence. I've never been influenced by dub reggae and i'm pretty certain my stuff sounds nothing like Horsepower or DMZ.

I have been trying to get a decent grime comp out for the last year or so, the majors don't want to know. It's all about setting up a compilation through a decent independant.

You're correct, but... I don't feel playing at FWD should mean you have to tailor your set - it should be about new music, no matter what it is. If Sarah books you to DJ at FWD she should be booking you to play YOUR set, not a set you think the FWD goers might like. In 2003 they would have...

Is it by Vex'd ? If so - I got two mixes off Jamie on a CD @ DMZ. If not then hook me up! Paul - yeh I can see what you're saying about people leaving etc. But I think that is down to the fact that recently, before grime acts were getting booked, when FWD went fortnightly you would have 2...

Sorry Paul but i'm going to have to go with Martin on this one.. The last FWD (Birthday Bash) was the busiest I've ever seen FWD at Plastic People. And I believe a lot of the audience was there on the strength that they saw Riko and Geeneus on the flyer, aswell as DJ Tubby of Newham Generals...

Spoke to Wonder yesterday - it sounds like the tour on the whole is going really really well. Massive props to Dizzee.

Hey man - unfortunately I won't be able to pass thru! Would have been great to pop down and check it out tho. I'm flying back to the UK on the 6th cos I'm in Stockholm on the 7th so i need to be home that day unfortunately. However I'm playing in Paris in June probably alongside Slaughter Mob...
