Bristol's contribution to music is widely held in high regard. The city's role in the birth and growth of trip-hop, drum & bass and dubstep is frequently celebrated, but what many don't realise is that Bristol is consistently turning out first-rate spitters and producers in the grime field. One local label, Durkle Disco, have made it their mission to make sure Bristol is remembered in the grime history books. After a series of surefooted EPs and singles, the label have put together this mixtape of some of Bristol's finest. You may already know a couple of names from the city (Kahn, Grim Sickers, Koast) but the vast majority of this tape should give you a decent inroad into a scene that's at least as thriving and full of talent as London.
Durkle Disco Mixtape Vol. 1 will be available as a limited run of CDs from their Bandcamp, with each track available digitally, from Nov. 20.
