Kode9 - Sinogrime Minimix (2005)

 

Free Download

 

To my east-side crew, get paper: more Sinogrime

http://dan-hancox.blogspot.com/2009/12/to-my-east-side-crew-get-paper-more.html

Sinogrime is a sub-genre that barely ever existed, a momentary glitch in the supposedly predictable sonic geography of London dance music. Around 2002-3, with garage crumbling and the cement still drying on grime as a genre, a few producers in E3 suddenly lurched further east than they ever had before.

This is the sound of Shanghai towerblocks and the millennial promise of a new superpower, refracted through the scuffed windows of Crossways Estate in Bow. From the outset grime's sonic palette defined it as the most futurist of genres - a steel sword cutting cleanly through UK hip-hop's wooden edifice - but it rarely sounded as futurist as this.

I went to interview Kode9 for The Guardian recently (link here), and among other things we got talking about sinogrime… Here’s what he said:
I’ve always been fascinated by these little squiggly synths, whether it’s been in jazz funk, or gangsta rap, or 80s synth pop… and also grime. That’s what I love most about grime actually, that kind of hyper-coloured sound. I was never so into the aggression of grime – I liked it in the MCs and the music, but it was actually how fucking beautiful melodically Target, Wiley, Terror Danjah, Ruff Sqwad and Jammer were – the Chinese style instrumentals.

I did this mix a few years ago that was just Jammer and Wiley and Target - of just half an hour of these Chinese-style plinky-plonk sounds… it was a bit sloppy, but it is fucking amazing music. Those guys were just on taking an aspect of hip-hop and blending it with really quite jarring, brash melodies.
For the first time, here is that mix.

I like a boogie and I know I'm as old as Gods dog but I can't begin to imagine what the dancers do to this!!!

 

 

Theres been some stuff put out on Two Tone that sounds nowt like what you would imagine

Booth tracks on thiis is good A lot of the early 80s sounded a bit like this. Killing Joke like stuff.l

Been taking my new flat mate thru my musical tastes. Did her head in walking into my record box formerly known as a spare bedroom!

Shes been going to Goa for 10 years now and is blind to the bad elements of what it has turned into but am trying to explain just how netter it was before it got taken over by bread heads and business minded gangs.

From the 70s to late 90s it really couldn't be beaten. It was the most laid back, Om Shanti, beautiful place you could ever imagine. This is why i keep going back.

Couldn't find any good vids earlier than this but you get the idea. This is 92 so the party/dance scene in England is still going strong.

But this is TRANCE!

It goes right here on the beach up into the hillside. Travellers coming from all around India for 3 or 4 days then going back where they are based. But mainly around Goa.

You can see in the vids that its not purely westerners. Theres a large Israeli base there. And like minded travellers from all round the world.

You also get a lot of Indians into the scene. All self medicating and dancing away. And some real crazy ones too. Theres this guy who must be about 80 now that I first talked to about 30 years ago. He always walks around / dances with a bottle of water on his head. Dressed in a tie dye Buddhist robe and barefoot and tripping his tits off. But nobody even notices him cause its a normal sight.
