about

Debut project here from Griz-O and myself with Fallow flavours on side A & DJ Chalice on the flip. Came together after becoming mates & bouncing ideas over cider-fuelled park sessions last summer. Cassette features an exclusive live performance of the project, and bonus downloads of all the instrumentals. Love to SHOTTA TAPES & Tom Boogizm for putting the project out, hope you're into it!

Few words from Boomkat here:

Hard, sweet and shiny fusions of Afrobeats, drill and grime cooked up by Manchester’s Fallow and Bristol’s Griz-O for their debut album with Tom Boogizm’s sought-after Shotta Tapes series.

Fallow is perhaps best known around Manny as co-founder of Chow Down, the grimy club incubator for the likes of Anz and Finn, and he brings lots of Chow Down flavour to this, his most significant work, broadly cleft between grimy Afrobeats with lots of colourful synths vamps, and more boisterous strains of grimy UK club styles.

Griz-O’s vocal cuts are stand-outs, from the brooding minor key drill/grime zoner ‘Time Is Now’, to the sion-dancehall sidewinder ‘Real Spice’ and a trilling ace ‘Rum Inna Mi Glass’, and a nastier, straight-up grime bullet ‘Darker Again.’ But that’s not to discount the instrumentals, where Fallow lets the melodies and samples do the talking between the summery bop of ‘Hus In The Park’, his scudding chromatic jackers ‘Bedlam 1’, and ‘Killin’ Me’ making great use of helium pitched vox, and the fructose boosted Afrobeats of ‘Elephant n Everything.’
