Shriekin’

Last month everyone was talking about London-based instrumental grime night Boxed. Making waves for a year now, their free compilation Boxed Vol.1 is a glorious 17-track effort that cements their feat in building a community around the sound as it enjoys a serious renaissance. The monthly night is the brainchild of resurgence figureheads Mr. Mitch, Slackk, Logos and Oil Gang and nestled within tracks from spotlight producers like Mumdance and Murlo are some of the scene’s brightest newcomers. Among Dullah Beatz’ TNGHT-esque horn bursts, glimpses of string-led sinogrime from JT The Goon and Mr. Mitch’s wheezing Beach Boys edit is Shriekin’s particularly boisterous 4×4 rhythm Bananas. Irish producer Jack Sheenan is our pick of the bunch and at only 19 he’s a figure of prodigious promise in a burgeoning scene.
