Grindie
I remember about 8 years ago on UK Dance, Simon Reynolds and Bat were having this debate (the board at the time was a twice daily emailer) about future paths of UK garage and within this the role of “The London Massive”.
Bat would put his unerring faith in the Massive, following its chosen path whatever that was. Reynolds wasn’t so sure…”What if the Massive took up indie?” he pondered, to which Bat replied “I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it”…no doubt sure that that day would never come.
Well, that day may have already come – as Statik has produced a mixtape mashing up the best of grime and current indie and imaginatively called it Grindie. I like the audacious idea, but early impressions suggest some of the results are, at best, mixed. Have a listen yourself by downloading it at Logan Sama’s myspace.
