Dubstep charts

Review: Way back in 2016, Fent Plates offshoot White Peach offered up a killer collection of instrumental versions of some of its most popular made-for-MCs releases - a heady mixture of grime and dubstep workouts that reflect the label's London roots. Eight years on, they've finally got around to dropping a sequel. Featuring 26 killer cuts stretched across two CDs, it boasts a wealth of genuine standouts, from the deep, suspenseful shuffle of 'Bardo' by Cadik, and the delay-heavy, string-laden punchiness of Glume & Phassa's exotic 'Hatchet', to the slow motion, spaced-out weirdness of Koma's 'Arrival', the Japanese-influenced jauntiness of Ourman's 'Windy', and the ghostly, sub-propelled heaviness of 'Red Handed' by Mr K.

Review: You can't have missed the hype surrounding Stormzy's new full-length - it's one of the most hotly-anticipated albums of the year. The question is: has it delivered on the promise? Yes - and then some. The grime superstar recorded the set on location with an extended group of trusted collaborators - Ms Banks, Sampha, Black Sherif, Debbie, Jacob Collier and NAO included - and the results are more sonically beautiful and soulful than much of his previous output. The distinctive flows are still there, though the subjects covered are often more personal and thoughtful than some may have expected, but Stormzy sings as much as he raps, and the accompany beats - often laden in strings, jazzy guitar flourishes and warming electric piano - are informed as much by R&B and hip-hop as the grizzled, sub-heavy East London vibes of grime.
