Boxed return with the third edition of their various artists EP series, showcasing the best in forward-thinking grime.
Boxed's own Mr. Mitch leads the EP off with a rare and special appearance on vinyl; simultaneously graceful and unsettling the anthemic Friend of Mine flips a soul sample in screwed and chopped fashion while ghostly hi hats rotate around its vibrating reese bass core.
For the A2, we very pleased to present the debut vinyl appearance of AS.IF KID. One of the most technically gifted and consistent new grime producers, his productions are battered by Mumdance, Slimzee, Slackk, Logos and more. Mashman Riddim Pt.2 recalls the technical ruffige of prime Plasticman or Mark One whilst pushing his sound in to new hi-definition territory.
Fresh from delivering one of the albums of 2015, OG grime don JT The Goon unleashes his long awaited slate Flux Capacitor, a long-time staple of Oil Gang's DJ sets. Fairlight-era flutes orbit a classic JT bassline for pure emotional, end-of-night vibes.
Closing the EP Sirpixalot drops his VIP of All In One, trademark modal keys and skittering drums combining with triton bass in what has become the South London producer's signature style.
Any chance of Side by Side the vocal mix on Bandcamp, please sir? They only place I have that is on Youtubes and it has really bad sound quality. At the moment I'm Side by Siding myself doing all the lyrics myself and my dog is looking at me like I'm daft. I'm a 50 year old man. I should not be acting like this around the house. humblenations
