In any genre rooted in the underground, there is always going to be tons of debate as soon as some songs start sounding too pop or commercial but in the UK it’s happened to every single genre, whether it’s Trip Hop, Acid Jazz, UK Garage, Speed Garage… they have all had their “crossover” tracks that made noise in the general charts.
Sooo, after hearing so much about Katy B’s “On a mission” from my twitter feed and things, I was pretty curious to finally sit down and listen to it. First off, it’s reassuring that this track was put together by some of the best people in the scene (produced by Zinc, Geeneus and Benga, out on Rinse records) and secondly well, that song does have that undeniable “can’t get that chorus out of your head” feeling. So, i’m on board! Skream‘s “Midnight Request Line” will always remain the genre defining track for DJ’s but this just might be the “crossover” track that hits the UK charts pretty high… just as “Re-Rewind” was that track for 2step 10 years ago…
Ohhh, and to make that release even sweeter, it comes with a remix from my good homie Roska. He is getting massive praise from everyone. Great to see him associated with the tune of the moment! Couldn’t be happier for that dude.
