Goldie X Skepta – Upstart

Into the mystic. Crank up the amp and drop the needle on the record. Exclusively on vinyl only, it’s the cross-genre collaboration everybody’s talking about – between the don of drum‘n’bass and one of the godfather’s of grime. Goldie and Skepta share a birthday, an elemental connection and an impeccable taste in beats. Upstart is the blistering outcome of their studio sessions together – a fierce, futuristic alchemy of tense horrorshow melodics, street-level rhymes and bangin’ breaks. Minted somewhere between Blade Runner and A Clockwork Orange, it’s for the kind of kids who want to ram-raid tomorrow, become a ghost in the machine, a contagion that cannot be stopped.
