Grime in Swindon.

props have to be given. . . that Maniac beat in front of that audience (R1's Big Weekend). . . I hope tinchy continues to toe the line of chart success and staying true to grime. And that eventually the two coincide. That would make a whole lot of people very happy.

Not everyones feeling it though. Check the footage here. . . rollllling. . .

East meets West

A lot of us have been calling for Gilles Peterson to try his hand at travel programmes. Here we get our wish, an hour special from the man in Istanbul. Where East meets West.

Hopefully he makes the transition to the screen sometime soon.

High Contrast Essential Mix 06/10

On the back of his new album, 'tough guys don't dance', High Contrast was at Radio 1 on saturday night to give us another essential mix. Old school drum and bass fans will remember the quality of his first, others will just have to go and find it. But here's the new one.. Heck of a lot of dubs.
