How do genres get named?





So last night I was a guest on Will LV's NTS show to talk with Laurent Fintoni and Rogues Foam to chat some waffle about genres.

Some articles that brought this debate about herehere and here. Rory Gibbs' thoughts were fantastic.

And while you're here, LV's siiiiick new album for Hyperdub is here. Loving the videos too...

LDN031 Keysound Allstars




 Keysound Allstars vol 1: Walton, Gremino, Visionist  & Vibezin
[Keysound Recordings]
LDN031

Out now on 12" vinyl and digital. Hear the entire EP here:



The 12” is illustrated by specifically commissioned photos of the tower block grime godfather Wiley grew up in Bow by London Nico Hogg (read more about Nico here).

Shout to the original “Allstars” dons: the Allstars label releasing incredible under-cover remixes by former jungle don and proto-dubstep godfather Steve Gurley with Chris Mac. Also the seminal Tempa label, who continued the “Allstars” tradition with cuts from El-B, Artwork and Geeneus.
