| Throwback: Skream ft. Mala & Cheff – 2006 Stella Sessions | September 4, 2013 |
Son Raw tried, he really did. Because I’d rather post a 7 year old radio session than review the new Skream single. What can I say, I rate rap music ’cause I never dug disco. Download link and a Mala and Pokes live set from Fabric after the jump for the archeologists out there.
| Son Raw: Since I left You – Bass Music Recap | May 23, 2013 |
Son Raw is jetlagged. Do not adjust your monitors – I’m actually posting on Passion of the Weiss again, much to the chagrin of those who hate Grime music and to the joy and/or slight interest of those who do. Having spent the past three months abroad with little to no access to new music, […]

| Jay5 mixes Deep Medi | October 9, 2012 |
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 […]
| Son Raw: Mala Goes to Cuba | September 10, 2012 |
Son Raw could use a rum punch “Thank You, I’m just a guy in South-London making tunes.” They say you should never meet your idols. It’s with this cliché in mind that I first spoke to Mala, possibly the most revered and idolized producer to have emerged out of London for the past decade. While […]
