a very strange night tonight. lady sovereign was the special guest, wedged in between the kode9 and the mystikz. the soundsystem was pretty good but the audience were strange. people seemed to dig SOV's set but it went right over my (and shackleton's) head. indeed. both the kode and mala were looking like they didn't know what the fuck was going on. lody sov live band - dubstep? for me there is a certain level of incompatibility! talk about incongruity! still the bass was enough to keep me smiling!

Interesting comments about the soundclash.

I've only just got into dubstep- like a lot of non-sarf-landan or bristol dwellers, I bought the Rephlex "Grime" compilations. In fact I rather stupidly went around telling my mates how I'd got into "Grime" (they had Dizzie and Lady Sov in their heads, I was thinking specifically about the artists on those compilations!!)

I think this is quite common, and you've probably discussed the merits of these compilations before...

but my point is, Grime and Dubstep seem to go together, but only in the true "roots" sense, this music was born from the underground garage scene in London and Bristol, but it's being taken in completely different directions... Dubstep is to Grime as Intelligent D&B is to Jungle.

Am I right?

there were an extraordinary number of women there, shaking their asses but mainly to the sovereign.

my main issue was that i felt like i was having sovereign forced upon me.
lady sovereign is sonically far removed from grime these days. a full live band, cod reggae sounds, even metal. i was thinking limp bizkit.

what this means for the grime-dubstep nexus, i'm not sure, just i could have done without the sovereign.

i hope i'm not being too precious here. after all it was a free event at 93feetEast on a saturday night.

Dubstep is to Grime as Intelligent D&B is to Jungle.

true but intelligent dnb strayed away from most of the samples and mcs that were big in the jungle scene, this is not entirely the case in this case

how embarrasing to kode9 and dmz! sovereign brought the crowd and then took it away again. plus if you happened to listen to bands like korn and limp bizkit ever in your missspent youth, you'd have been in for a nasty surprise with her live band. anybody else feel this way?

fucking sovereign

mala b2b leofah were great tho!

I was gutted to see a shitty lady sov step to stage in between kode 9 and Digital Mystikz. In my opinion she was totally outta of place and played a very poor pop rock set, that seemed to be suitable for ages under 18. It was a total suprise to me. Mala and Loefah looked confused as if they didn't know what was going on.

The funniset thing said all night was lady sov going on about saving hoodie's in shopping centres and fu*kin the goverment because of it. Like there isn't any other important issue in the world today.

But Once DMZ got on they merked it. 2 many sic tunes. 2 many sic tunes
