Swiftee feat. The Brothers Grim - More Than Music.
This is a lovely piece of positivist-grime. You can check the instrumental here (it's called "Motown Dreams") on the Independance site. Full of wondrous string flourishes, ecstatic female moans, and half-step R&B themed beats. I'm not normally on the commersh tip, but this is very large. DJ Lioness has been playing it on recent sets, so check her out too.
Big up Kryptonyte for bringing this to my attention.

posted by Lee Manikk @ 23:35 Very wide of the mark. How embarassing. According to Fiddy the Rossi B and Luca produced Nasty Crew track is based on Damian Marley's Jam Rock riddim. I am now an official reggae ignoramous.

Harmony feat. Bruza - Fly Away
Bruza has some eerie way of regularly coming up with lyrics which seem to apply to my life very closely.
posted by Lee Manikk @ 20:18 NASTY Crew feat. Teddy Bruckshot - Run 4 Cover
I like this. Rossi B & Luca on the production - is it a rejig of the Mad Mad riddim, or am I completely wide of the mark?

Wheel and come again please please please...
Absolutely T for Tremendous!
I'm coming with some new shizzle.

posted by Lee Manikk @ 02:15 Yeah yeah, everyone likes Ruff Sqwad productions, so what? Oh. Hold on, it's not only a completely justified opinion, it should be absoutely mandatory for every human being in the world to hear at least one in order to spread unbridled joy and a wonderful, furious energy - and the one most highly recommended this month...
Rapid feat. Tinchy Strider - Underground
Rapid's on the buttons once again and there's an exemplary performance from Strider on the vocals who uses my favourite 'grime-slang' word "NIPSY". But it's the production on this one that's the killer; presumably taking cues from Youngstar's 'Revival' (the instrumental used on 'Stand Up Tall'), Rapid digs out an old 2-Step beat, bangs on a five-note bassline, mixes it up with a one-bar vocal FX loop and creates absolute aural magic. It's Rapid OBE from now on thanks.
posted by Lee Manikk @ 14:13 Dizzee Rascal - Off To Work - Nice'n'odd riddim, Raskit's usual lyrical flourish.

If you manage to check it out, I highly recommend Squadren Man Dem, Thursdays 8pm-10pm.

posted by Lee Manikk @ 16:43 After me moaning on, I get in bed at the ungodly hour of 3am and switch on my radio to see if anything's on I can fall asleep to and find Wiley and Karnage doing the 3am-5am graveyard shift - how nice of them! Got a lovely tape full of Roll Deep exclusives now.
Wiley - Back 2 Back - big riddim on road.

Hearing this set on an internet .rm stream pisses me off: a) cos it's such an excellent set, b) because there's been hardly any grime sets on radio in London for months now and this reminds me what I've been missing, and c) if Freeze have another extravaganza like this I won't be able to hear it anyway as I've never been able to pick them up properly. West London? Pah! Where's that? I don't live there. Why not relocate?
"I roll with with big killers, who love pain, and hate pain killers". Life that he's living is Ghetto. Excels on this set.
"You don't understand fully this is my playground and I play the bully, leave holes in your wooly and your girl's noony, test Trim how could he, you'll crumble like cookie, wanna bet I'll take you to the bookie". I'm not the bully, but I have a problem not having to recite that at least five times daily.
Additionally, I have a N.A.S.T.Y set from earlier in the year which has them spitting over HipHop beats on the beginning section of the set. To win a copy answer this question: Where in London was Bruce Forsyth was born and raised?

posted by Lee Manikk @ 14:10 Yep. Jungle/DnB will never be what it was - a fact I thought had stopped bothering me a long while ago. But there's been plenty of banter about it recently: here, here, here and here.
However, if you want to shock out like you did when you first heard Splash's 'Babylon', but to tunes made in 2004, then download this mix by Bailey on the John Peel show (courtesy of FUNXION on the Subvert Central forum - here's the tracklisting). I think this mix focuses less on the GLR-with-overfussy-breaks style, and more on the mashup-dancefloor-smashers-inna-2004-stylee, if you get my drift. Absolutely T for Tremendous!
