Son Raw might start a petition. Or he might smoke something. Either or.
Rinse FM is known for a tough-love approach to programming, mercilessly updating its roster to reflect current trends and musical styles. That’s all good, but the losing the Anti-Social show a few months back hurt my soul. Why Rinse? Was there no demand for laid-back Sunday evening vibes by people looking to end the weekend on a high note? It’s enough to make me want to riot, or at least write angry online diatrabes but while it won’t quite make up for the lack of a weekly show, this all-Deep Medi mix by the crew’s resident selecta Jay5 will do in a pinch. Alongside material from fellow Anti-Social members Silkie, Quest and V.I.V.E.K, there’s an excellent selection of recent releases by Mala, Skream, Goth-Trad and the rest of Dubstep’s strongest roster. While Hyperdub has cornered the album market for forward-thinking bass music this year, there’s no doubt that singles-wise, Mala’s house of Bass has been quietly gaining a second wind, releasing fantastic music that’s as heavy as it is creative. If you don’t browse Juno every week looking for tunes, this is an excellent opportunity to get familiar.
