The first Euro Session went down so well that we’re gonna make it a bi-weekly thing. I try to keep up with as much music as I can, but as an ignorant American, I miss out on some of the stuff that’s building up buzz overseas. So for these posts I picked up Mark from London to fill us in. He’s got great taste in music and says stuff like “flatmate”, so you know he’s legit. I haven’t listened to these yet, so I’m excited to get into Volume 2. Andddd here’s Mark:
So after a host of technical difficulties (my flatmate not paying the Internet bill on time!) here’s the Euro Session Vol. 2, only slightly later than planned!
Chase & Status feat. Tempa T – Hypest Hype
There’s not a lot I can say to introduce this song that will prepare you for the aural assault that will follow after you press play. Undoubtedly one of the biggest underground tracks of the year in the UK, Chase & Status always come with thumping production but this is on another level, mashing together Rock, Grime, D&B & Dubstep with vocals provided frequent collaborator Tempa T, this record is one of a few recent releases by the duo who have steadily built an impressive track record both underground and mainstream (they produced a track on the last Rihanna album). For years people have unsuccessfully tried to blame acts of violence on playing too much GTA or listening to too much Marilyn Manson, if next time they blamed it solely on this song they may well have a case!
