The Future Is: Grimm

And now on to something that will become a regular monthly feature here at Sci & Pro (inspired by this thread and it's sinking demise), a head's up and profile on a new edge producer I feel is deserving of more notice and coverage. For the first installment, I'm staying local and shedding light on a Toronto MC turned budding producer, Grimm.

I was first introduced to Grimm back in December of 2007, when Make:Shift released his track 'Getting Deep' on their mpFREE compilation, 'Bassbored'. A tidy little mp3 indie album, looking to bring in some new artists and showcase some older friends of the label. Fast forward to May of 2008, he really caught my attention with his dark haunting number, 'Etched In Stone'. A gripping evil edged tune that makes your skin crawl. A real moody piece of music that makes you feel something when listening to it (to this day I can't understand why it hasn't been signed). From there we linked on AIM and he's been passing me tunes ever since, a fair amount too I should note. This guy does some serious work in the studio, crankin out solo works and collabs by the bunch (all quality!). In turn, label heads have started to recognize his talents and sign his tracks. Most recently Future Thinkin out of London UK, snatched him up for a release. And those notable collaborations I mentioned earlier, featuring the talents of Mutt, Nusense and Stanza, well it's almost certain that they'll find reputable homes in the coming weeks and secure a slot for release in 2009, no doubt. With a lot to look forward to and plenty to be patient for, this is merely the tip of the iceberg for the Grimmful One. Take note!

Buck 65 + Symphony Nova Scotia

"It was something that could only happen in Halifax" says Halifax Chronicle Herald critic Stephen Pedersen.

Back in April of this year, Canadian hip hop artist and poet extraordinaire Buck 65 did a special intimate concert engagement with the classical ensemble of Symphony Nova Scotia, at the Rebecca Cohn Auditorium in Halifax, Nova Scotia. What transpired over the next hour and a half was something so mind bending, so awe inspiring, a small concert in tiny Eastern Canada turned into a galactic 'experience' in the world of music. Here were two worlds on opposite ends of the spectrum, thrust together in a bizarre collision, producing a phenomenal soundclash for the ages.

The full concert is available for streaming ONLY on CBC Radio 2, but discussions are currently ongoing between Buck and CBC about acquiring the rights in hopes for a future digital release.

Check the set and stay tuned!

Rejoice!

LEGENDARY cutting edge drum and bass label No U-Turn Records has opened up a mp3 store via ithinkmusic.com.

I'm sure most of you know the history behind this label, owned and operated by techstep pioneer and living legend, Nico Sykes. No U-Turn is responsible for discovering and releasing some of the darkest, most experimental dnb producers of the early 90's, helping to shape the scene and push the limits on musical progression. Ed Rush, Trace, Ryme Tyme, Fierce, Future Forces Inc., Sinthetix, Break and Silent Witness all got their start here and grew in strength as artists from working together within this camp.

Many more titles to be added to the store in the future, including exclusive, previously unreleased tracks and alternative mixes of label classics, aswell as music from a variety of No U Turn affiliated projects (Saigon, Nu Back and Turn U On).

I know where I'll be spending my money in the very near future. ;)

c64 - Make:Shift Records Podcast

c64 is the man. srsly.

A long standing veteran and pioneer of Toronto's underground breakcore and drum and bass scenes, Chris Minifie is the definition of musicality, knowledge and respect (all rolled up into one). A dedicated DJ first, Chris has toured all over the world in support of his craft, showcasing his tastes and talents (and is taking bookings right now for an Oct/Nov trip to Europe). He also pilots two labels. His breakcore, experimental imprint Dross:tik Records and his dnb imprint, Make:Shift Records, which factors in a few local yocal heads aswell. Solid. If you needed more proof for your pudding, the man also runs a well respected promotional company under the name of Splinter Productions, which I'm sure all Toronto friends are aware of.

Make:Shift has gained a rep over time as "the little indie label that can (AND WILL!)", releasing music in all forms of media, including two luscious slabs of vinyl, two stellar CD albums (V.A. - On The Lam [CDx2] and Polska - Skeptic; I strongly recommend you pick these up so place your ORDER HERE) and one compilation album of budding producers (and a few old geezers) in digital download format. (get your MPFREE .zip file HERE!)

So without further adieu, here's the mix and what you clicked for, and as c64 said, it's runnin with "A little new, a little old and everything in between. Enjoy."
