I’m joining Lighthouse in January as an Associate Artistic Director. 2017 will be a test as I’ll still be touring, running the label and doing important work with Lighthouse. Feels like a good last post to end this blog on. There’s an archive of work and pictures I’ll leave here as long as tumblr exists. See you on the other side.

Grime 2016 is out today. Artwork by David Kelly as usual. Butterz is the label

A short with Boiler Room featuring some of the talent we have been supporting out in Tokyo. This is only a snapshot of some of the people representing the music out there. Peace to all family across Japan. See you again soon

Talking with Swindle about Peace, Love & Music + The Trilogy Of Funk for Boiler Room

One of my favourite producers and one of my favourite MCs for Butterz. Lemon Trees. One of our best yet

A set we recorded in Tokyo back in 2014, available now via SBTV

Stormzy joins us on Locked via RBMA Radio. We ran through some of our favourite ‘Old School’ tracks too, plus a bonus freestyle from Mez.

Dizzee Rascal joined us for our first RBMA Radio show, which we recorded in New York before his Boy In Da Corner show in Williamsburg. You can listen back here, and our shows will air monthly, more news soon. 

Look out for the Boiler Room with the crew in Tokyo coming soon. 

At my friend Jun Yokoyama’s first exhibition in Tokyo. He took pictures of the scene while in London, and while we were in Japan in December. 

We are back in Tokyo briefly for a show with Boiler Room and local dons Pakin, Jacotanu, Hyperjuice, Double Clappers, MC Snow & OnJuicy. You can watch here
