theres something in the water in instrumental grime right now, with a new wave of producers twisting the genres trademarks into amazing new shapes. at the forefront of all this is slackk, whose radio slots on nts and rinse fm and monthly soundcloud mixes have become the place to keep up on new grime. slackks always been on this wave, of course...

following dj qs vinyl-only brandy & coke local actions second release of 2012 comes from slackk – one of our favourite djs and producers.paul lynch has been one of londons best kept secrets for years, he founded the pirate radio website grimetapes, and produces as both slackk (releases on numbers) and patrice & friends (last years cashmere sheets album featured high on fact and the wires best of 2011 lists).raw missions is his most substantial statement yet – a tribute to the widescreen grime of producers like ruff sqwad, wiley, oddz and alias, all massive influences on both him and local action. its heavy with a tinge of longing, and full of power.first pressing comes housed in an album-style sleeve with spine

following up his massive >theme< on numbers comes the second outing from slackk, backed by the debut release from hervey jenkins.
slackks >synthetic< on the a side is a bumpy house track boasting a strong sub bass and shuffling hi-hats. meanwhile hervey jenkins brings classic uk garage sounds with >steelo< on the b side, with swinging 2-step drums and soulful vocals, this verson is exclusive to the vinyl release. this release has been receiving support from brackles, jackmaster, blackdown, blawan, dubbel dutch & hackman.
