Son Raw explores the grime musician's newest full-length.

Son Raw talks with Swindle about getting schooled by his father, why he doesn't worry about genre, and recording every chance he got on tour.

Dust off your reggae and dancehall playlists, actual Jamaicans, weed smokers, barbecuers, ackee and saltfish eaters, and cultural tourists, it’s nearly summer.

Butterz' latest Scars EP feels particularly significant, since it positions the imprint as a connector between the old school and new.

Son Raw’s bangin’ for the funk of it. Massive week for Grime singles. First, the almighty Butterz empire returns for their first release in nearly a year, teaming up with Kapsize Records for a collaborative jam between Swindle and Joker, AKA 040.

“If you don’t know, check out the bass,” toasts JME on this mix from Joker and Swindle, honoring the third birthday of instrumental grime kings, Butterz.

That will probably make me an exception to the rule as their tempo of choice is out of fashion amongst the trend-spotters and their groove is too broken, […]

Son Raw is bringing back the 8-track. New York invented the mixtape but London perfected the tape pack: multi-cassette recordings of the best Jungle and Garage raves for those too young attend and those who want to relive the magic. In the days where 12” singles were the medium of the mix, these epic compilations […]
