While I'm here, I'd just like to say that the Acre and Filter Dread EP on Codes is dead good

I'm not sure if this should go in this thread, but it's one of my favourite songs of the year and I can't think of a more appropriate place.

Just getting on this Fabric mix... Woah... This is some pretty interesting music. Like Matt DC, I wonder what it's function is but at the same time I'd love to experience it on Fabric's dancefloor.

!!!!!
Fabriclive 83 has been mixed by Logan Sama.
The KeepinItGrimy boss and long-time grime DJ has compiled a selection of 24 instrumentals featuring 66 MCs, including Novelist, D Double E, Ghetts and Flowdan. "To be invited to record a Fabriclive mix was a great honour," Sama says. "I wanted to make a real statement so I called up the producers I have been supporting over the last couple of years and asked them to create something special for me. I spent several months collecting acapella bars and went about building a sonic collage over my instrumental mix."
For the first time in Fabriclive history, the mix is being made available on vinyl. The quadruple-vinyl version of Fabriclive 83 contains all 24 instrumentals that feature on the CD and digital versions.
Sama adds: "Vinyl has always been an important part of grime history. It gave us the power to get our music out to the public without having to be tied in to the mainstream music industry. Being able to make our own music and then press it up directly onto vinyl was so pivotal to the growth of grime for many reasons. When I was a teenager growing up and getting into DJing something like this would have been exactly what I wanted, it’s great to be able to give people a package like this."
The launch party will take place at fabric on Friday, October 9th. Listen to Rapid's "3rd Eye," which features on the mix, below.

Ah I see Paolo got there a couple of weeks ago. Still, judging by the range and density of the personnel involved this looks like it could be brilliant.

This is a quick, third-quarter reminder that all available tracks mentioned on this thread (and a handful of album selections from each listed) are being updated to the thread-specific Spotify playlist as posted. I just did another top-to-bottom sweep prior to posting this message and have revised as of today with everything that's been added since first mentioned. Subscribe if you're into it!
It's 45 tracks and over 2 hours.

I like it. Some really good MCing on there, both from the veterans and the youngsters. Not keen on the trap style beats though
― paolo, Saturday, 3 October 2015 13:46 (eight years ago) link
don't get me wrong, i like it too but it's rather one-note
― the late great, Saturday, 3 October 2015 16:37 (eight years ago) link
I was open-mouthed in awe for the first half of it, convinced that we finally had a commercial grime release that came close to capturing the intensity of the best radio sets - Kano sounds revitalised in this context, D Double still reassuringly useless in anything other than full eye-popping intensity, Scrufizzer bars amazing, clearly Black Butter aren't going to ruin him entirely. But the Jammer track seemed to be hinting at a shift up a level that never quite came, the final stretch wasn't the victory lap I'd been anticipating and it sort of ran out of steam towards the end, like he'd shunted a few of the ropiest beats and bars at the back end. Still excellent on balance though.
― Matt DC, Saturday, 3 October 2015 16:46 (eight years ago) link
I mean, it did have me walking through London feeling like I was Megatron, which was surely the desired effect.
Shame it's such a non-stop bro-fest though.
― Matt DC, Saturday, 3 October 2015 19:48 (eight years ago) link
Listening to this again and it really does tail off in the second half, but man that first half. I lost track but props to whoever was respondible for "I'm old-school like Djemba-Djemba".
ZXPH XLLXS - XCXD BXMB
This fucking tune! The Scru verse on it is probably the peak moment of the whole mix.

the new maxsta ep is really great, i love how much of the title track's video was filmed in canary wharf, which has been a malevolently looming presence in east london for so long. there's a really effective balance between maniac and boothroyd productions, maxsta is so good at handling the more awkward latter. "mare street dickhead" lives up to its title!

As we move to the end of the year, I'd like to drop a quick note to encourage any readers / lurkers / ilxors to post their favorite grime tracks from this year to the thread so that I can hoover them into the ongoing spotify playlist. Last chance for any accessible stragglers that may not already be in the lexicon.

If anyone's craving a Run The Road-style round-up then this comp is pretty great, loads of stuff I hadn't heard before (although virtually every verse will be familiar to people with the Logan Fabric mix).

^^^ Also Kano over the XCXD BXMB beat is brilliant and rubbish in equal measure, right up until the point where he goes full Alan Partridge with "your girl's pum-pum stinks like the A13 Beckton exit", which is quite a location-specific diss.

I'm wrapping this playlist for the year. It has been updated with a few new adds (No Lay, Visionist, Preditah, Plastician) and includes every track mentioned on thread that is available via Spotify's US catalogue as of EOY 2015. If I missed something or if a track comes available sometime in the future, bump here to let me know and I'll add.
