Review: It's safe to say that over the last couple of years As If Kid has become a household name in the grime scene, constantly providing new instrumental dynamite for the raves and radio. This EP on the Mean Streets imprint features two belters, the first of which is a haunted roller entitled 'Homicide', consisting of spooky melodies and grizzly subs. On the flip we hear 'Jawpunch', which is more unpredictable in its drum design, lending itself to syncopated stabs and gnarly bass tones, working wonderfully in unison.
Review: It's the third chapter of the Boxed series, which means new and refreshing bass cuts from a whole selection of new faces on the block. We know little about these youngsters, so let's just cut to the chase: Mr Mitch's "Friend Of Mine" flutters its half-step beats to a vast, distorted pool of sonics and vocal samples; "Mashman pt2" by As If Kid goes for a single-minded grime approach thanks to its traditional, London swamp-bass; JT The Goon delivers noxious levels of low frequencies around the tune's Eastern tones; Sirpixalot ties this episode of Boxed off with the pacman-grime vibes of "All In One VIP". Heavy gear.
