word on the street is you single-handedly discovered, disseminated, and popularized grime as a musical genre

what this leaves out is that i prophecised it years before it happened. others say this doesnt go far enough and actually i summomed it into being.

Those were the articles he was born to write.

and now you need to do it again, but this time with whatever music bodega is making

Luka exiled himself in New Zealand during the 2-step garage years because there was too much feminine pressure for him to handle.

no one ever wrote anything good about grime though. there's no guide to it or anyone to tell you how to listen to it you just have to tune in

it wasnt a very good period when i was there. i went in 99 which was both the peak and the begining of the end. i mostly missed out on 'dark garage' and so solid. neither of which i give a shit about.

heartless were the undisputed kings of London when i left

London got its act together once it heard you were returning.

It was like the boss coming back off holiday, no more fucking around.

Shame about the recording on that one but 2002 Nasty Crew sets are the pinnacle of grime

 

[luka]

And it was always nice when they had dizzee or doogz on with them. The best producers were in tower hamlets but the best sets are nasty crews by a million miles.

 

[catalog]

i like how they cohere quite well as mcs. doubling up and finishing each others words everyone does that tbh but that's what's standin gout from this one. group mind.

 

[luka]

Exactly. Combinating blows to your nose.

 

[luka]

That's why they are the best. Brilliant chemistry and a good range of strong distinct styles and personalities

 

[catalog]

diverse back beats as well. sort of refreshing not to have those wiley devil mixes in the backgorund, even though they are amazing.

Any early 00s set you can find with the classic line up; Mac 10, Sharky Major, Stormin', D.E.E, Hyper and Armour is garunteed to be a classic and to bring you joy.

Ghetto, Kano, Monkey etc are all good in their own way but they unbalance the collective and the chemistry
