Review: 19 releases and running since 2013... Mean Streets have always kept us on our toes with releases. But less is most definitely more as each dispatch has been a vital check-in. This walloping VA is no exception as bossman Trends and bestie Boylan are joined by the likes of Silas, Ironsoul, P Jam and J Beatz for a series of gully gutter chompers. Highlights include the operatic synthetics of Trends theatrical 'Mouth Shaker', the swampy stamps and swagger of Ironsoul's 'Mothra' and the eastern string hurricane of J Beatz 'Time Machine Riddim'. And that's the tip of the trilogy. Treating us mean, keeping us keen.

Review: It's been a little while since we last had the pleasure of taking in a brand new Boylan release, who here returns to Mean Streets for a vibrant four track outing, kicking off with the haunted strings a violent drum smashes of 'Cursed' playing the role of a gruesome title track. From here, classic grime themes are invoked on 'Grid', skipping between metallic grinds and cowbell driven rhythmic switch-ups, sliding into the breaks-infused rolls of 'Operation Grand Slam', again utilizing those classic synthesizers we know and love from Boylan. Finally, Mean Streets head honcho Trends arrives on collaborative duty on 'Germs', combining more grizzly bassline slides for a crunchy outro track, rounding off a rave-ready body of work.

Review: Following on from a short hiatus away from releasing, we are super excited to see the return of Trends' Mean Streets label project, who unveil the second edition of their 'Trilogy' release series. If you are a fan of grime music in general, this isn't a tracklisting you can ignore as the likes of Boylan, D.O.K, P.Jam, and more all join Trends for eight tracks of grimey flavour. As always with Mean Streets drops, these aren't light and fluffy creations, these are instrumentals designed to cause a ruckus in the rave. Our particular favourites include the super skippy drum manoeuvres and colourful bass arrangements of 'Source' from Silas, alongside the raucous horn arrangements and lethal synthesis of Kromestar's 'Dancehall'. Amazing work from an incredible label!
