Terror Danjah Presents Hardwired (Preview)

Following on from the release of his much-lauded sophomore album, Dark Crawler on Hyperdub last September, Grime lynchpin Terror Danjah returns to the fold with a brand new label compilation from his own Hardrive Records imprint, entitled Hardwired. Featuring label highlights from Joker, Champion, Bok Bok and Royal-T alongside previously unreleased original material and remixes from Kode 9,Falty DL,  Zed Bias, Swindle, D.O.K and PJam amongst others - Hardwired is an audio scrapbook of some of Terror Danjah’s favourite producers and peers all on one record.

Those familiar with the labels output thus far will be glad to see the inclusion Joker & Terror Danjah’s Gully Goon Estate (a collaborative take on the formers’ 2008 hit Gully Brook Lane), Champion’s ubiquitous UK Funky roller Lose Control and Bok Bok’s 80′s Electro meets Grime remix of Mz Bratt’s Selecta on the compilation.

One of the standout new tracks on Hardwired comes from resurgent Grime producer PJam, whose much sought after Arizona Skyz VIP progresses from Grime into Jungle territory in an epic 8-minute journey - the juxtaposition of rough drum breaks with melancholic harped synths shows just why he’s been talked up by the likes of Night Slugs and Butterz as one of the Grime scenes ones-to-watch for 2013.

Weighing in with fresh productions for the album are fellow Butterz brethren Swindle on the P-Funk infused Funktion, frequent Terror Danjah collaborator D.O.K with his ode to UK Garage Cardio and a dream collaboration between Zed Bias and Terror Danjah with a meeting of the musical minds on downtempo affair Iceberg History. 

Hyperdub boss Kode 9 also gets in the action too with the distorted and trippy Ice whilst NYC’s Falty DL chimes in with a colourful re-rub of one of Terror Danjah’s most notable instrumentals, Zumpi Huntah to round off an action packed array of tracks that more than make up for a quiet 2012 for the Hardrive label.

Dream Mclean – Sloe Gin (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

With the New Year lurking on the horizon, things look hugely exciting for East London’s Dream Mclean who is set to drop his second single ‘Sloe Gin’ (produced by Nightwatch [Noisia]) courtesy of Chase & Status’ MTA Records imprint.

Dream’s flow is undeniably witty and slick, considerably more so than an artist only on their second release – a clear sign of his early maturity and illustrating the hard graft that has clearly gone into the crafting of him as an artist. As for the beat, think Timbaland circa 2000 – need we say more?!

As if this wasn’t enough, ‘Sloe Gin’ has been championed by the likes of 1Xtra’s Mistajam, which highlights that Dream is unquestionably ready to captivate the growing hype surrounding him, and lay down the gauntlet for all other UK vocalists

PJam Feat. Big Narstie – Gas – BeatCamp(Stream)

Artist: PJam Feat. Big Narstie

 Title: Gas

 Label: BeatCamp

 Release Date: 20.08.12

 Format: Digital

After last years re-release of grime anthem Anger Management (which is lauded as a definitive Grime classic partly due to the D Double Evocal) on Terror Danjah’s Hardrive label, PJam (pronounced pee-jam) has been on a steady ascent back to the forefront of the UK’s Grime scene. After a short stint away from music production, his newly-inked BeatCamp label has already seen him collaborate with the likes of Shystie and the imprint continues to act as a vessel to release his much sought-after productions.

The North London-based producer now presents a new single with long-time collaborator Big Narstie (the pair previously worked on various projects under the Dice Recordings stable) who provides a colourful lyrical approach to the haunted PJam production. The beat itself exemplifies what makes PJam stand out as a seasoned producer – low-end bass frequencies combined with ominous synths lines and crisp 808-drum work that allow Big Narstie to spew verses of unabashed street tales with the sinister production fuelling his fire.

Big Narstie has come on leaps and bounds over the last two years as an MC and character within the Grime scene with his humorous slogans ‘Pain’ and ‘Gas’. After his infamous 100 Bars of Pain freestyle on SB.TV, he has become somewhat of a cult hero with everyone from Ed Sheeran to Jamal Edwards (founder of SB.TV) reciting his verses.

With more releases on BeatCamp and Hardrive scheduled for the coming months, ‘Gas’ is only a taster of what’s to come from PJam’s multi-faceted production arsenal and his return adds another element of excitement to the resurgence of Grime producers into the wider electronic music scene.

Check out Major Look’s brand-new single ‘Never Hold Us Back’

Artist: MAJOR LOOK
Release: NEVER HOLD US BACK
Label: COLD BLOODED RECORDINGS
Release date: 20TH MAY 2012

One of the most exciting new acts around, bass music duo Major Look continue to prove that – for once – you can believe the hype, with the release of their new single ‘Never Hold Us Back’ on 20th May.

The combination of Stapleton’s unmistakable swagger-laden vocals and Crystal Clear’s pin-point programming ensures that ‘Never Hold Us Back’ is another massive vocal Drum & Bass anthem. This is attitude fuelled stuff; something you can sure as hell rely on Major Look for.

Having made their name with releases on labels like DJ Hype’s Real Playaz, Major Look draw on a multitude of different influences and styles such as drum & bass, dubstep and reggae, presenting them in the only way they know how; loud and heavy.

With previous singles ‘Levels’ and ‘Hush Ya Gums’ supported by everyone from Radio 1 DJs Annie Mac, Huw Stephens and Mistajam through to Capital FM’s Andi Durrant, Major Look are bringing the undiluted sound of the underground to the masses, and no one’s going to hold them back.

Teddy Music Feat. Lil’ Nasty, Double S, Lady Leshurr, Scrufizzer, Dot Rotten & Tre Mission – Hoods Up (Remix)

Artist: Teddy Music

Title: Hoods Up (Remix) Feat. Lil’ Nasty, Double S, Lady Leshurr, Scrufizzer, Dot Rotten & Tre Mission
Label: Teddy Music
Release Date: 15.04.12
Format: Digital

A follow up to the original with Ruff Sqwad, Ghetts, Roachee and Stutta, the ‘Hoods Up’ remix sees a new barrage of MC’s take to Teddy Music’s unrelenting production for another posse cut – this time around it’s Lil’ Nasty, Double S, Lady Leshurr, Scrufizzer, Dot Rotten and Tre Mission who run the lyrical relay race.

Combining the grizzly styles of Lil’ Nasty and Dot Rotten with the tounge-twisting flows of Double S and man of the moment Scrufizzer – the remix stands up in it’s own right with the new additions to the line-up showcasing the diverse range of MC talent that the resurgent Grime scene has to offer. Lady Leshurr shows once again that she can stand up with the best of the boys here as her signature double-time delivery only adds to the energetic nature of the track and Canada’s own Tre Mission is proof that Grime is not restricted to the UK and can sound fresh with a North American accent without diluting or compromising Grime’s roots.

Both the remix and original of ‘Hoods Up’ are no holds-barred takes on the genre from a producer who is growing with each release. 2012 has already been a landmark year for Teddy Music and by continuing to collaborate with his peers his sound will stay relevant and authentic in a scene that is ever-changing.
