Cillit Bang Grime & Lime, Part 2

More Grime now, this time of a ferocious persuasion; less bleep, more grrrrowl. These two tracks come straight from the bowels of the E1 horrorhouse, to cause meltdown in your pissy laptop speakers and windscreen shattering reverb in the back of your XR2’s when your out on road, yer?

That E1 horrorhouse is actually real, its just past PC World towards Mile End tube. The giant gates are chained together but someone lives there (a bike can be seen amongst the overgrown garden propped up in various places outside the front door), and through the top floor window you can see elaborate candelabras and glimpses of a giant pentagram emblazoned across a curtain.

What with grime riddims being all doom, disaster and sub-level pitching, dubstep struggles to keep its own identity when the vocalists hold back and let the music do the talking. Joker released the Kapsize 12″ on Bristol-based dubstep label Earwax this year and its as grimey as a Boy Better Know t-shirt.

Joker - The Bop

‘The Bop’ soundtracks the Stay-Puffed Marshmallow Man’s stomping rampage throughout the dingy streets of east London, crushing kebab shops, toppling skyscrapers and bringing the Mile End Road to a gridlocked standstill before clambering to the top of the Gurkin building in the city, MC Shystie gripped in his giant hand, ready to swat at incoming F-22’s.

Continuing the monsters on the loose theme, Frisco enlists Wiley to concoct a beat so dastardly that it can be fed to pieced together corpses and revive the life back into them to create an existence-defying abomination. Only for it to go wrong and more innocent lives to be lost in the aftermath of the madness.

Frisco - What A Cheek

So as the lightning forks and sparks to the conductor, the power is instantly honed down into a beam of lasers at the 0.24sec mark. Frisco flicks the switches and Wiley’s creation groans into life as skin is rejuvenated around restructured bones. The sub-woofers kick in and before the two mad scientists can shout ‘oh my days, its alive, innit!’, the abomination is causing havoc in the world, flipping cars in the street and eating dogs in the park.
