| Royal-T Returns to Claim the Throne | April 20, 2015 |
Butterz' Royal-T returns with an EP firmly planting him in the conversation for Grime's top producers out right now.
| Butterz connects past, present and future | January 15, 2015 |
Butterz' latest Scars EP feels particularly significant, since it positions the imprint as a connector between the old school and new.
| Son Raw’s 2014 Grime-related wrap up | December 29, 2014 |
As 2014 comes a close, Son Raw wanted to reflect on the past 365 days of music he's covered here.
| Floating in Space: April’s Grime round up | April 10, 2014 |
Instant Son Raw – just add beer. I’ll spare you the Rakim line – suffice to say that since I last wrote a round up post, a whole lot of releases and mixes have grabbed my attention and now you get to reap the benefits. The theme this week is dynamic opposites: artists, labels and […]
| 040 and Mumdance bring the funk | February 4, 2014 |
Son Raw’s bangin’ for the funk of it. Massive week for Grime singles. First, the almighty Butterz empire returns for their first release in nearly a year, teaming up with Kapsize Records for a collaborative jam between Swindle and Joker, AKA 040. It’s a match made in heaven, assuming heaven is place where P-Funk grooves […]
| Keysound and Butterz on Radio | January 13, 2014 |
Son Raw is the rap Bill Murray. No, this isn’t groundhog’s day – I wrote about this combination a few months back but like The Low End Theory and Autonomic Podcasts, when these crews hit Rinse it’s always worth a mention. Dusk & Blackdown returned to radio after another extended absence, but while the irregularity […]
| Question in the Form of an Answer: Coyote Records | January 3, 2014 |

Coyote Records is the brainchild of Mixmag Editor and Grime-advocate Tomas Fraser and is one of instrumental Grime’s most vital new outlets. Across […]
| Butterz 5th Anniversary Show & Keysound Showcase | November 4, 2013 |
Son Raw will be in Europe next spring. Can’t come soon enough. Butterz just turned 5 this weekend, celebrating with their first Room 2 takeover at Fabric and a 4 hour Rinse session with more or less every major producer that’s ever graced their presence. Looking at that photo, it’s a bit hard not to […]
| Radio Wrap Up: Butterz bring out the guests | June 11, 2013 |
It’s Son Raw, again, he’ll turn up with a fat on again. Butterz on Rinse: half short and twice strong. Though the crew’s radio presence has once again folded into Elijah & Skilliam’s flagship show (with alternating hosts Royal-T and Swindle), this week’s episode definitely qualifies as a must-listen and a potent reminder that they’re […]
