| This month in Spooky | February 2, 2015 |
Son Raw is spooky white. No seriously, he’s translucent. And he’ll be gone to some islands to catch some sun by the time this post is live. Spooky deserves an award for being Spooky. He doesn’t release albums full of ambient explorations, or drop music inciting writers to pen corny think pieces but he’s on pirate […]
| The Best Mixes of 2014 | January 12, 2015 |
Aaron Frank and Son Raw listened to every mix posted on Soundcloud in 2014 to prove their allegiance to high quality electronic music. Salute them if you see them, but stand at least 30 yards away.

| Passion of the Weiss Mix XV: OH91 | December 11, 2014 |
The next installment in our mix series comes straight outta Bristol, a city with both a long musical history (I'll spare you the rehash) and a vital role in contemporary Grime. OH91 is a certified badman producer with riddims blending the raw and aggressive side of classic Grime to contemporary Hip-Hop 808 booms and hi hat rolls - a combination that keeps things current without gussying up the proceedings.
| Playing Tunes We Like: The History of Oil Gang | July 15, 2014 |
Son Raw’s lamping with the World Cup Before MoMA approved conceptual Sino-Grime, before transnational club tunes, and before producers started working at 130BPM, there was Oil Gang. Kicking off a string of no-holds bared releases in 2010 as Grime’s second act was just beginning, the London-based label has been a key factor in drawing attention […]
| Son Raw’s Grime Top 30 for 2013 (#30-#16) | December 24, 2013 |
Son Raw wrote up this damn list himself. Duh ha, duh ha, you never thought that this weird instrumental Grime music I started writing about in 2010 would take it this far! And to be honest, neither did I: 2013 was an outstanding year for Grime and Grime-related music, so much so that it’s been […]
| Butterz 5th Anniversary Show & Keysound Showcase | November 4, 2013 |
Son Raw will be in Europe next spring. Can’t come soon enough. Butterz just turned 5 this weekend, celebrating with their first Room 2 takeover at Fabric and a 4 hour Rinse session with more or less every major producer that’s ever graced their presence. Looking at that photo, it’s a bit hard not to […]
