Today we’re gonna talk a bit about the relationship between deep tech and grime music. At any given moment in the history of UK rave you can pinpoint a genre or two which were leading the way in terms of bangers-produced, crowd numbers, radio play, buzz. Amidst the bewildering diversity of UK dance music in the year 2015 it is perhaps fair to say that the two genres leading the way today are deep tech and new skool grime in its various forms. For many people it seems to be a choice between one and the other - and we at UKHR aren’t gonna pretend to be neutral onlookers: deep tech’s better, but your milage may vary ;)
While there’s overall very little crossover between these two scenes as they currently stand, in a way they can both claim to be the descendants of classic grime.
The relationship between deep tech and grime is in someways pretty simple: a huge number of people currently involved in the deep tech scene were involved with grime beforehand. On a demographic level, they both evolved in east and south London and appeal to the same working class and multi-racial demographics. And, as grime was systematically banned from clubs across the capital, the "urban" (read "black") following of deep tech music has led to many clubs banning shuffling and shufflers. Cutting shapes plays the same role to teenagers now that spitting bars over a mobile phone beat did to youth ten years ago: https://instagram.com/p/tMF80wA3Yb/
Besides these personal and cultural links, there are many musical connections ranging from a generally cold and minimalistic aesthetic that brings to mind early grime at it’s most spartan:
To a conscious incorporation of grime sounds:
But in many ways grime and deep tech are total opposites. Grime was an MC led scene - even the presence of hosts over deep tech sets can be controversial. Grime parties were often about lyrical prowess and which bars could get the most wheelups - deep tech raves are all about the dancing. Grime was all about skunk - deep tech is all about MDMA and balloons. Grime was about keeping it real - deep tech is about loosing yourself in the music. Violence - verbal or otherwise - was at the centre of grime’s self-image - with deep tech the code words are peace, love and house music.
Deep tech then, evolved not only out of grime music, but in reaction against it. UK rave music can be said to be defined by a series of contradictions* - striving for pop success vs. keeping it underground; feminine vs. masculine elements; swinging syncopation vs. stiff rhythms etc. At times the music has swung to one extreme or the other - tech-step DnB purged all the party vibes and human elements from jungle, leaving an extremely dark and techy sound - speed garage brought the funk and soul and ragga elements back. 2-step garage, after a period of churning out hits which flawlessly fused dancefloor energy with pop sensibility, went too far down the commercial route and ended up vibe less and overproduced - grime and dubstep evolved in reaction to this, bringing the darkness back.
*Man like Simon Reynolds goes into this in way more detail here, wicked read: http://energyflashbysimonreynolds.blogspot.jp/2009/06/nuum-and-its-discontents-5-masculine.html
Deep tech for me is the pendulum swinging back towards danceability, groove and fun. Perhaps in the future it too will swing too far in one direction or the other - perhaps it will draw closer to international house music and loose the UK elements which give it its edge. But for now it remains perfectly poised between the grittiness of grime music and the sexy swing of house, and that’s what makes it the best music in the world right now.
Anyway, that’s enough of the history lesson, here are a few of our favourite artists and tracks from the intersection of grime and deep tech:
1) Rude Kid
From
To
2) J Beatz
From
To
3) Tazer
From grimey funky
to scene defining deep tech
4) S.E.F
From a member of the legendary grime crew Black Ops:
to label head of the always on-point Switched On records:
And superlative deep tech producer:
5) Luke Lawrell AKA Flukes AKA 1 half of Crazy Cousinz from gyal tune grime:
and producing the uncontestedly biggest uk funky banger:
to creating the first UK deep tech track and kicking off this whole current house wave:
6) Paper Aero Plane - Splurgeboys, Snowy Danger, James Pyke & Kadey James on SBTV
An experiment rather than a full on trend, a road rap/grime crew spitting over an 8 bar edit of Dennis Ferrer’s wicked remix of London Grammar’s Sights. Given the hostility to full blown MCing in deep tech (Sample quote from man like Mark Radford “4 guys on stage chatting, spitting bars at each other and all of that, it’s not wanted in this music”) I don’t see full-on MC vocal deep tech tracks taking off. But what an experiment! Party vibes and all the touch-stones - house! shuffling! balloons! East End art students! - that make this one of the best lyrical summaries of London in the year 2015 about.
Grime runs deep in deep tech’s bones. It seems to me that the people who can’t hear the gritty UK energy that is the animating life force of this music, who see deep tech as ‘just tech house’ need to realise: these grime luminaries haven’t lost touch with UK music, you have.
