Butterz' latest Scars EP feels particularly significant, since it positions the imprint as a connector between the old school and new.
| 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 […]
| Son Raw’s Grime Top 30 for 2013 (#30-#16) | December 24, 2013 |
Son Raw wrote up this damn list himself. Duh ha, duh ha, you never thought that this weird instrumental Grime music I started writing about in 2010 would take it this far! And to be honest, neither did I: 2013 was an outstanding year for Grime and Grime-related music, so much so that it’s been […]
| 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 […]
| 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, […]
| The Top 50 Albums of 2012 | December 24, 2012 |
On a Previous Episode of the Passion of the Weiss: The Top 50 Albums of: 2011; 2010; 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006 50. House Shoes – Let it Go [Tres] No best album list is complete without something from Detroit. Nowhere else is as no frills and unvarnished. It operates as a palate cleanser to remind […]
| Butterz brings back the tape pack | November 12, 2012 |
Son Raw is bringing back the 8-track. New York invented the mixtape but London perfected the tape pack: multi-cassette recordings of the best Jungle and Garage raves for those too young attend and those who want to relive the magic. In the days where 12” singles were the medium of the mix, these epic compilations […]
