DONG! NEXT ROUND'S UP!
welcome everybody to 2007.
we've been rather quiet lately - at least on our blog, so we
hope we can get back some readers this year, trying to be a bit
more talkative again.
it's a grey sunday today - just the right lame time to sit down
at the computer and travel the net-world. i'm looking for a subject that i haven't been engaged in as much as i used to:
what's with grime?
why did i not get any new records lately? why are there no regular
grime parties anymore in berlin (the last good one was the grime step international at 103 club and i did this one myself. and hey, i'm talking grime not dubstep which has a much bigger following right now due to it's increasing acceptance on the tech-head side of things, i even found a mark-1 and skream review in raveline magazine!), is this just my own lack of interest because i'm wound up in a new love for rave classics and guitar mash ups? or does this reflect the 2006 state grime was/is in? i came across this illuminating interview
with kiss fm dj LOGAN SAMA, who could successfully smooth out my growing self-doubt.
from my point of view as a berlin party promoter i have to seriously
disagree with some of logan's points though (especially when it comes to
grime artist management topics), still he gives a good overview on
the UK grime scene as it is now. highly recommended read.
