ye ive heard his release on crosstown rebels liked 2 out of the 4

but even saying he is a house producer now doesn't that go against his stance in the article?

so he may not be hooking up with MK anytime soon doesn't mean he's at any less fault for going the house route instead of traditional "black british music"

and he was the frontman for bloc party

doesnt seem like the most credible figure to write that kind of piece

In my defence, I have no idea who Kele Okereke is and didn't say the argument was particularly convincing.
Rinse is in safe hands if they are doing both this the likes of that Surgeon set tonight tbh


Pretty mad how MK is the DON again after twenty odd years from his peak and eh Rinse is getting closer to Dizzee

it did start off as a lush bubbly kind of low key house track

then all these ravey elements started coming in, weak "euphoric" vocals shit like that

before uno it the original bassline n melody is buried under all these additives an shit

wtf does kele okereke know about black british music

He's black, British and a musician?

Tbh both sides of that debate make good points, both arguments are riddled with the necrotic effect of money and how you pander to mass audiences (Dizzee wants to make it, 1Xtra want a 7 figure audience).

White Power And Black Pop: The Real Problem With 1Xtra's Power List

Suckered in the morning, wise by teatime but still at sundown an old graze stings again, a dormant papercut refreshed. Initially I was tickled by the fact that 1Xtra had published a list of their most 'Important Artists In Music' of which three of the top four were white, nodded at Wiley's amusement, growled a little at those who thought something could be remedied or set right by the names on that list being more preponderantly black. Never gonna happen. You're in England, remember. We don't progress in our racial politics, we just get more self-congratulatory and blind.

Part of the problem is the existence of 1Xtra itself. I have problems with that, just like I have problems with the Asian Network and Radio 6 and a lot of the BBC's specialist networks. I think they benefit older radio listeners to the detriment of kids in need of protecting from the ceaseless power move onslaught of corporate pop. I don't think those stations benefit the minority communities in a real way because they make it easier for the BBC to continually marginalise those stations' output away from their 'one-nation' voices, thus being able to keep those major stations as safe and neutered and unplayful as possible. Keep the Locals local, the Loyal loyal, and the great unwashed at the edge of music, paddling in the shallows, any depths or drop-offs safely farmed out to those who are prepared for them - the privileged 20-odd percent of listeners and dedicated fans who listen digitally.
