Audio: Kahn & Neek Select Their 10 Favourite Vocal Grime Tracks For RBMA Radio

Here's a little bit of a nugget for your Thursday lunchtime: RBMA Radio have just published this 'Vocal Grime Special' with Kahn & Neek, who are of course bringing their Bandulu label to Room Two this weekend. It's a brilliant overview of ten of the Bristol pair's favourite vocal grime tracks including tunes and chat from them which we're presenting here alongside some gumpf we lifted from the RBMA Radio site... "When it comes to bass-heavy electronic explorations, Bristol has long been a center of innovation, and the efforts of Kahn & Neek – along with many of their young compatriots in the city’s ever-shifting scene – seem to indicate that’s unlikely to change anytime soon. Although it’s tempting to throw genre names in their general direction, attempting to label Kahn & Neek as grime, dubstep, dancehall, dub or something else entirely is ultimately a fruitless endeavour, as these boys can’t be easily stuffed into any one box. Working together, they’ve been responsible for a series of distorted dancefloor anthems on Hotline Recordings and their own Bandulu label, but they also craft soundsystem steppers under the separate Gorgon Sound moniker. Kahn also keeps quite busy on his own, as the Young Echo collective member has served up a diverse array of bass-driven productions for labels like Deep Medi, Idle Hands, and Punch Drunk, while also finding time to collaborate with Vessel as Baba Yaga. Keeping tabs on all of Kahn & Neek’s endeavours can be tricky, but regardless of what these guys are doing, their trademark dark spacious bass weight seems to shine through."
