Grime aficionado, DJ and producer Slackk steps up to the plate and delivers the first in a (hopefully) long and healthy mix series. Slackk has maintained a steady momentum on the music scene since last year, with a self-released EP and 12″, followed by the Theme EP on Glaswegian hot-bed Numbers. Before that he was on his grind at grimetapes.com, generously sharing links of freestyles and radio shows via t’internet to the grime cyber-community. In a nutshell, if pub quizzes had a grime round and Slackk was in attendance, then well, you might as well screw your answers sheet up and hide under the table.

Cassie – Thirsty (Slackk Remix) by slackk

Cassie getting the acid house treatment off Slackk…not something I ever thought I’d hear, but its like chicken to chow mein. It just works. (Free to download offa his Soundcloud).

In just short of an hour, Slackk brings together a pic ‘n’ mix collection of grime, deep percussive house, African house stylings and heavy bass stabs all kicked off by his re-creation of New Edition’s ‘Crucial’. There’s even a remix of ‘From The Ends’ in there that sounds like its ditched the roads to go and dance at a footwork competition…not to mention the stupidly fast but stupidly good Murlo rework of ‘Igloo’, that makes me want to dance like Tshe-Tsha Boy on speed.
