What record/etc. did you just buy?

[jrkhnds]

same way I didn't consider a lot of people who got tagged with the term Burial rip-offs

yeah we all know your label.

[garethom]

Exactly!

[hirszu]

Can anyone point me in direction of some worthy classic/oldschool grime and garage labels, I'd really like to do some online digging but I don't know where to start. With garage I mean the darker stuff obviously.

Colourfulstate Records
DFL (DJ's For Life)

I usually like finding new music thru discogs. So here are a few labels to start with I suppose. Then just find more labels by looking at other labels artists have released on.

Keep in mind that with grime, they didn't really have "labels" to a certain extent the same way there are now in dubstep. ie some of these labels on discogs weren't really labels. they're just like made up labels for purposes of making things organized (eg Wiley Kat Records)

I think it sounds alright but not worth it for a single sided record, this weeks top seller on redeye so obviously the white label/ one person person hype is working.

[skins345669]

Just had another listen to this and had to buy it, previously posted in dub techno thread and it's an absolute monster

[jrkhnds]

yeah Rise 6 is a great tune! all Version crew would've deserved some more attention tbh, great tunes.

[Johnlenham]

Anyone elses copy of Tic not shown up yet?

[Muncey]

Got mine Friday. Think a few people still waiting on it though, I guess he had a shit load to post all at once.
