On another note, Creeper Vol 2 is now up on my myspace. Grindie to follow when this FTP server wants to co-operate!
gumdrops said:that murkle man remix isnt bad, the rejigged beat's a bit jerky but DEE comes off with the best verse. and he stays on beat too, which is encouraging. has anyone got an mp3 of newham gens on the plastician's radio one show?
ive not heard it all but from what was on logans show i think i like the statik production on those indie remixes more than both the indie originals and more than most grime vocal tracks out right now. statik could be the grime dangermouse (ie go on to make some amazing stuff in the mainstream). what he did on that bloc party mix was brilliant. i find this stuff more interesting than most other grime mixtapes (still got to get that tinchy one though so who knows). big up statik by the way for being so honest on the interview (he even admitted 50 copied ja rule!) with logan. all that stuff about 'street music for street people' is all well and good but as they said, 'street people' dont want to hear pathetic, tired, second hand street cliches all the time either.

gumdrops said:going from that interview, id say statik has much more potential for a career than say, someone like wiley, just cos not only is his production pretty fantastic (and consistently so), hes smart, and rather than stick to this pathetic 'keep it real/gully' attitude that grime has absorbed from hip hop, he actually has a plan, some ambition and some real creative vision to make it work. id take grindie over lame-duck tunes like gangsterz any day. do i need to hear yet another badly rapped sub-dipset ode to shady types? not really. speaking of newish vocals, i heard that new newham gens tune on the plasticians show today and thats not too impressive either. its pseudo-hip hop as well, which doesnt really do anything for me.

Ta.

Try DLng them again - often fixes it.
gumdrops said:how is it a joke? statiks bloc party remix was a 100 times better than anything that band have done under their own name. yeah, maybe ruff sqwad should have got a deal but thats the way the UK industry is. its always been indie-centric, even more so now. anything that might disturb the indie hegemony or the new easy listening popularity isnt going to get much backing. ruff sqwad should just go to warp, or XL or some indie label willing to take a chance. big dada, even. why not tempa? im surprised they dont do anything grime related. ruff sqwad could make a great 10-12 track album with some supervision (i.e no uptown girl).
