Siobhan Bell And Jammer Host EP Launch Listening Party
Tune in via Jammer's Instagram Live tonight at 22:00 BST
*Jammer* has been prolific of late, with a slew of releases, cyphers and videos.
His escapades documented on his social channels remain a constant source of energy and entertainment to tap *into*.
Reminding the grime community of his creative production skillset - well known to some, but a wake up call to others who think of Jammer primarily as a mic man.
Jammer's roots, like Wiley, Dizzee, Skepta and other key musicians amongst the scene who have crafted their sound and identity so adeptly, lie deeply intertwined in the first generation of soundsystem culture.
Raised on a healthy diet of their parents record boxes and riddim's, schooled from birth on the art of the soundclash and toasting.
Carving grime out as a new sound and genre from the melting pot of soundbwoy folklore took tenacity.
Gradually stealling market share and airtime from other genres, dubplate on dubplate via pirate radio stations and then into mainstream radio takes talent and originality in abundance.
Married to a sheer relentless determination to go up against the grain and build their own castles within the manor off their own hard work.
In essence, the energy of grime much like the soundsytem culture at it's core is already spawning new spin-off sub-genres and counter cultures.
As the next generation of teenage adolescent angst swells and breaks against the graffiti splashed walls of the present grime is one of the most direct mediums to articulate points of view.
One thing is certain, the energy of grime will remain a bedrock sound for metropolitan and rural environments in the U.K providing a fulfilling and potentially lucrative outlet for the energoes and creative expressionrof our nation's popular youth culture movements for decades to come.
Jammer's 'Distant Drip' EP is the first longer length measured project from him this season, landing as a follow up to recent singles 'Grime Boy', 'Believe' and 'Night Bus'.
This is Jam firing on all Rolls-Royce cylinders. Five tracks bursting out of their project files with positivity, exuberance and creativity let loost set against the stark backdrop of dystopian paranoia on the streets.
Catch the drop tonight with *Siobhan Bell* and Jammer hosting a listening party on Instagram and Zoom at* 22:00 BST* raising a glass ahead of it's release across streaming platforms at midnight.
All details below, tune in...
