We may technically be still in spring, but we’ve caught a couple of rays already and the beer gardens have seen a bit of action, so it’s hard not to feel like summer is well on the way. Arriving in plenty of time for the approaching sun is a new bubbler from p-rallel called “I’m So High” and […]
It wasn’t long before DAB became the standard for cars and home radio systems, which then allowed people to tune in before they left for work and school and then during the commute. Once DAB became widespread, 1Xtra became an unstoppable force. Trevor joined the station five years after its inception and, by that point, […]
South London’s dexter has had a busy 12 months and it doesn’t look like things are going to slow down any time soon as she presents her latest single, “Something Real”. The singer-songwriter had been building up a healthy buzz for a while—which seemed to start almost as soon as she dropped her first couple […]
Fresh off of his impressive Fire In The Booth freestyle, North London rapper Keeya Keys has shared his brand new single, “Ridiculous”. Produced by 4PLAY, Keeya Keys makes the track his audible playground, whipping out punchlines and a plethora of flows atop a bed of 2-step garage for the win. “Ridiculous” is all about having fun while you’re young, and is […]
Veteran grime MC Manga Saint Hilare has released the visuals for “NRG”—a standout track from his latest project, Glow In The Dark, featuring Ikhana. Released in collaboration with producer Lewi B, the 12-track project features lyrical street sonnets placed over ear-popping grime beats, drill-inspired thumps and, of course, party-ready numbers like “NRG”—which is home to a 2-step […]
Versatility has always been the name of the game with DJ/production duo Star.One. Their entire career has been built on their ability to switch genres in a heartbeat, while still maintaining the essence of their sound. Over the years, Star.One have nimbly hopped and skipped from garage to house music to grime and so on, but with […]
A little over three months on from his last drop, “All That Matters”, Nottingham’s Snowy is back with another Massappeals team-up, “Reckeh”. It’s a little different from a lot of their previous, grimier outings, opting for a straight-up garage approach this time with plenty of summer-ready bounce. The audio for the track dropped earlier today, […]
Birmingham’s Jaykae is back, but this time he’s on a garage tip for his new single “1000 Nights”, and joining him on this new one is Walsall’s finest, Jorja Smith. Switching up from the tongue-in-cheek energy of “Chop (Henry 8th)” in May, Ezrah’s gentle 2-step production acts as the backdrop for what is a pretty grim tale. In […]
Bristol super-producer Conducta is back with his new single, “4-4-2”, and has recruited North London rhymer Keeya Keys to bless his bubbly and snappy UKG instrumental. Another example of Keeya’s fast-talking wit, his drill flow works surprisingly well on garage so it’s hopefully not the last time we get something like this from him. The drill-garage combination […]
Late last month, the crown prince of garage, Conducta took to Instagram to start teasing the imminent arrival of his new single, “Time”, featuring singer-songwriter JGrrey. It was a slightly unexpected team-up but JGrrey’s subtle club-leanings and Conducta’s finely-tuned instinct for melody have made it a heaven-sent one. Perhaps the most surprising part of it was […]
