Created around the Air Max Day celebrations last month and inspired by pirate radio, Riskit's "Air Max (Dubplate)" features all the staples of a classic grime tune. There's snippets from "Pulse X", Wiley's "Gangsters", lots of samples of Wiley chiding his audience, and plenty more besides that. The true grime heads will have a field day spotting all those samples—plus, the surprising mix of polished production and the chaotic atmosphere of a pirate radio clash perfectly captures a feeling that, at any moment, all hell could break loose.
