‘Grime 2.0’ is a new, double CD, 35 track compilation of tracks from across the world compiled by journalist Joe Muggs in collaboration with Big Dada Records, aiming to offer an overview of grime production as it enters its second decade and becomes an international phenomenon. Featuring tracks from the originators - the godfather Wiley, Manchester’s dubstep / grime originator MRK1, and the elusive Youngstar (whose ‘Pulse X’ was the first ever grime record to be released), new stars Royal T, Preditah, Faze Miyake, and the up-and-comers snapping at their heels - Midlanders Swifta Beater and TC4, Brighton’s Moony, and Southeast Londoner Mr. Mitch. Plus tracks from Japan (Prettybwoy), Australia (Juzlo), the Netherlands (Gumnaam), Ireland (Major Grave), the US (Starkey and Matt Shadetek) and Canada (Tre Mission). Big Dada are planning a hyped ‘Grime 2.0’ takeover of thelegendary Boiler Room, with contributors from the compilation DJing, as well as a Just Jam session. Where other sounds died or dissolved, this grassroots electronic music movement has grown organically for over ten years now. Grime has resisted all appropriation, retaining the qualities that made it exciting, fresh and subversive in the first place. It wasn’t easy by any means, and it has survived a lot in that time. It has seen its own MCs become superstars, frequently eclipsing the genre that raised them, then watched as its suburban first cousin dubstep snuck out from the shadows to world domination. It’s been through beefs, bans and brawls; been held back by internal and external politics; struggled for recognition while flimsier, flightier sounds have been hyped to oblivion.
