who's heard that grime track (spyro plays it) with the chorus that goes
"one day i went to Lidl,
i went to shoplift in lidl
that i got caught in lidl
now i don't go back to lidl
one day i went to asda
i went to shoplift in asda
that i got caught in asda
now i don't go back to asda'
?
pure genius. best pop-grime track for ages.
also interesting from a sociological point of view as it's the first grime track that i know of where the MC has got a heavy african accent

Also worth checking out the "freestyle" of him on Youtube - some hilarious lines on there.

fwd stopped booking people like maximum and target and bossman this year. no-one has explained (or questioned) why, which is a shame.
pure dubstep line-ups have been good for business - they're selling out once a week now, but it's made for some seriously repetitive nights down there ('ooh, is that coki's refix of sizzla again? goody').
@Blackdown: the difference between discussing this now and discussing it a year ago is that last year there was plenty of interaction to celebrate, right now there ain't. it's to dubstep's detriment if its success (since jan 06) leads to the marginalisation of music that exists in a similar aesthetic and geographical place. you'd think i'd get bored of saying this wouldn't you? lol.

anyway never mind all this moaning, cos ESSENTIALS ARE BACK!!!

oh come on, it's great fun!
i have a massive soft spot for this kind of silly grime. it's been gone for too long, in my opinion (bear man doesn't count as he made me feel ill whenever i heard him)

fantastic news. grime's really missed them- we need a good crew who are reliable and will actually turn up to radio sets at the moment...
haha you would. i think its cos deep down you miss dubstep despite all of your naysaying and criticism!
whats interesting about the fwd issue is that a look at dubplate.net shows how much ammunition are pushing grime... i reckon they stock more of it than they do dubstep! and the dubplates section is definately more grimey. i dont really know what to draw from that though

that's been confusing me as well.
a prominent person in the scene, who shall remain nameless, said this to me recently about fwd's exorcision of the grime monster: "either sarah (at ammunition) is an extremely shrewd businesswoman, or she's just very fickle". either way i've got to say it's fair enough, it's not my club night, it's hers, and she's done loads for both kinds of music.
and dude, i don't miss dubstep (difficult to avoid it lol), it's more that i am less able/willing to appreciate its qualities when it's all i hear in the rave.
i hope my playful tone wasnt lost in translation! i was just being flippant sorry
i doubt shes fickle, and im sure shes shrewd, so i know where my money is! there were a lot of people post-dubstep warz on dubstepforum saying they went down to fwd but didnt rate all the mcs etc, so i guess she clocked it. blatantly ammunition still want to push grimier stuff, you can see it with Road, Soulja and dubplate.net. even d1's next Tempa release is being headed up by a grimier number (which, i might add, is phenomenal...)
i dont know ammunition but im guessing that fwd know that the people coming to their events are mostly there for dubstep so thats even less incentive to play that much grime. plus, i dont think many of the recent dubstep converts really wanna come to a club if they have to worry whether the 'unsavoury contingent' that grime is associated with might turn up. dubstep is the more popular music (at least with people that actually still buy records and turn up regularly to nights) at the moment so of course its going to run things...

whats the grimier D1 release? im not sure about ammunitions labels pushing grimier stuff per se, all the new stuff on the dubplates section is right on that line between grime and dubstep (in a really good way i mean but still in between the two sounds, something i hope well still see more of, grime- step or grubstep maybe?
yeh its not exactly rapid or whatever, but its got a grimier aesthetic... the track is Greazey which is in said dubplate section. massive tune. rumour has it that its to be a 6 track EP (presumably 2x12"), with Foundation, Trail Run, ET (i dont know where audio is for these) and two more on.
i too have always loved the line, plasticman was my introduction to both genres, so its always been a soft spot for me

D1 seems really underrated to me. always hearing about dmz, skream and co but d1 is just as melodic - if not quite as catchy - as skream and he seems to be one of the more progressive (or at least more technoid maybe) producers in dubstep (although i probably just think this cos the stuff of his ive heard doesnt settle for dub pastiche)
he used to be underrated but i think now he's widely recognised (amongst punters at least) as one of the very top producers. i think he's sick, he's got such diverse styles too... from dark techno-ish dystopia (word-jack from tempa website), to trancey, progressive, euphoria, to UKG-styled chipmunked nostalgia
