I've done a courtesy search for the term sonraw for you. See if you can find what you're looking for in the list below:

  • The Wu-Tang Guessing Game and “Executions in Autumn”

    Let’s play the Wu-Tang guessing game. When do you think this track was recorded? Son Raw guessed that this is an extra from the early 2000s and judging from the tight verses of Deck and the RZA, that could be accurate. I don’t like dissing people who I would be willing to die for, so… Continue reading »

  • The Endurance of Reggae Legend, Freddie McGregor (AKA Bobby Bobylon, AKA Di Captain)

    If you’re unfamiliar with Freddie McGregor, allow me to temporarily redirect you to a post that Son Raw wrote five years ago when he was operating under his serf name, Sach O.  To call McGregor an O.G. does him a bit of a disservice. He has been doing it since he was 7 years old,… Continue reading »

  • Son Raw: Kode 9 goes to Shanghai via Chicago

    Son Raw wrote this while sipping a Singha. Bass music intellect Kode9′s latest single, ”Xinfu Lu,” is ostensively named after a Shanghai clubbing street. Pardon my skepticism, but after spending the past few months in South-East Asia, I doubt any club on the continent is ready for this. In fact, it’d be a hard sell in… Continue reading »

  • Son Raw: The Broken Abstraction and Rolling Groove of Keysound’s “This is how we roll”

    You merely adopted the dark, Son Raw was born in it. In a year where London frets over shuffling crazes and the Internet takes its dance music cues from the Boiler Room’s overly mediated experience rather than the real thing, Keysound’s This is how we Roll is an outlier. Defiantly local, stubbornly difficult to pin… Continue reading »

  • Joker X Swindle Rip Butterz’s Third Birthday Party

    “If you don’t know, check out the bass,” toasts JME on this mix from Joker and Swindle, honoring the third birthday of instrumental grime kings, Butterz. With the honorable Son Raw, somewhere in Southeast Asia, smoking spliffs and enjoying a long sabbatical from the madness of the Internet, there’s a void for fire alarm-frantic and… Continue reading »

  • Son Raw: Rashad joins Hyperdub, sends Ross into Hyperspace

    These haters can’t hold Son Raw back. You’ve gotta love Hyperdub. It would be all too easy to sit back and count stacks every time Burial drops a new single, but so far, the label has all but avoided the easy path, searching far and wide for artists as likely to confound as to engage.… Continue reading »

  • Son Raw: The Bluffer’s Guide to Rinse.FM (Part 2)

    Part 2 of Son Raw’s continuing look at London’s best radio station. Part 1 here. Dubstep: The cream of the crop Dubstep has seen better days on Rinse, as London’s sound of choice has found itself out of favor amongst listeners dissuaded by the anti-cool factor that comes with being America’s soundtrack to take drugs… Continue reading »

  • Son Raw: The Bluffer’s Guide to Rinse.FM (Part 1)

    Son Raw’s been wanting to write this for years Pre-recorded podcasts may have more polish and The Boiler Room might have the benefit of a live crowd, but tune for tune, there’s nowhere better to hear fresh urban electronic music than London institution Rinse.FM. Starting off as a Jungle pirate in the mid 90s, the… Continue reading »

  • Son Raw: Oneman plays Solitaire

    Son Raw holds the cards close to his chest. Here’s a dirty little secret about commercially released mixes: often enough, they’re far less interesting than what you can get online for free. While a good radio or Boiler Room set is spontaneous and full of unexpected moments spurred on by crowd and twitter reactions, a… Continue reading »

  • Son Raw: Ben UFO’s “State of the Scene” Address or “Fabriclive 67″ Mix

    Son Raw is a sorcerer Ben UFO is a wizard. When Hessle Audio artist Bandshell gave a Soundcloud throwaway that title, he found a clever way of saying what everyone already knows: Ben UFO is a very, very good DJ. Combining sounds from the Dubstep Diaspora to more traditional House and Techno in a seamless… Continue reading »
