I went along to FWD on Thursday. I Enjoyed Hatcha's set a lot more than I thought I would. The thing about 'meditating on bass weight' that people always talk about is definitely true.
You can listen back to that set and future live sets from FWD here - just subscribe to the feed.
Read a grindie article in the Guardian here.
I bought Wiley's 'Da 2nd Phaze' earlier this week. I won't give it a full review right now since I have to review it for a few other places, but it's definitely the most essential grime release of the last few years. I've said it before and I'll say it again: the front cover is awful. The picture really lets it down - it's a really lo-fi image. If there's a re-press, they need to change that image.
Buy the album here.

I ain't even fucking around, the wiley album is the best thing since Primark sold boxers for 2.50 a pop. Although there were a few old tracks, still it was refreshing to hear a whole grime album in which we kno who the main artist is compared to those shitty video tunes on channel you with a whole football team with emcees screaming lyrics about killing our parents and friends. Also good look on the grindie thing, it is a big ting though. Look out for this indie band called postal service they are sick. I personally find the grindie things boring and it could be goood but still ummh, jus watching and tryin my own experiments as well. Keep it up and please give a should out to my blogg man. Easy boy boy
