is that the one where cha is still new and he plays the (excellent) cock back remix?? cos i have that from the rinse fm post (and yeah it is brill)... thanks though.

randomly i found this old pitchfork dizzee interview where he bigs up plasticman

"Pitchfork: What about grime producers?

Dizzee: Wonder! I like Youngstar's stuff as well. Plasticman's got a few new things too that are like yeah yeah yeah."

just wondering... does plasticmans connections with dubstep go back to the early days of big apple before dubstep was really *dubstep* etc? has he been down with all the dubstep inner circle from day one? im just asking cos im wondering if he used to play a lot of early dubstep from day one...

yeah totally, they're from similar-ish parts of south London (him and Jayda Flex used to live on the same (long) road... if i recall from long treks south...). Skream and Plastician went to studio production college together, but this was a time when Plastician was very much distancing himself from dubstep, artistically.

And while he got his first releases on labels like Slimzee's Slimzos, loads of his early sets were at FWD>>, sometimes with Mark One.

check out the 'newstep' podcast on our site (link in sig) - it's a bbc 1 radio docu from 2003 which interviews plastic as part of the big apple gang

this album isnt quite as good as i thought - its not a great 'album album' although that might just be cos im not as fond of the more dubsteppy tracks on this. preferred plastics older slow and moody stuff like shallow grave to the likes of japan. would have liked to hear more energetic stuff, but that might just be my own preferences/agenda. but nothing is beating badboy on this. mentaaaaallllll (say in pirate radio voice).

Showing my age here, but when I started buying tunes in the hardcore era a Percy was a tune whose quality only became apparent after several listens. Cockney rhyming stylee on Percy Thrower = Grower. Percy Thrower being a household name to British children of a certain era through his careful stewardship of the Blue Peter garden.

Oh yeah, where is the new Geeneus Rinse mix with the Bassline/4x4 stuff at the end available?

not to encourage DLing but its amazing how easy it is to find albums these days - you just google them and there they are.

as far him doing a geeneus, im just going on that i was listening to the terrorhythm show the other day and it seemed very dubsteppy...
