Grindie music: what happens when indie and grime collide
Beccy Lindon on the latest sound clash to gain ground in the capital
Published: 29 March 2007
Genre-crossing collaborations can be a real hit and miss affair and the rock and rap fusion teeters on the edge of genius and heinous. The Americans have been mixing things up musically since Run DMC and Aerosmith in 1986, but the UK urban and indie scene have traditionally remained poles apart.
Then in 2006, London producer Statik turned out a couple of quality grime re-workings of Bloc Party and The Rakes tracks and everyone started hopping up and down in excitement. Statik promptly jumped on the positive feedback by coining the term "grindie" and releasing a mixtape where he threw grime MCs over Larrikin Love and Ladyfuzz tracks and had Pete Doherty handling the shout-outs. Statik declared that grindie was a new "movement" but there was something slightly incoherent and synthetic about the sound. In a time when music fans are searching for unprocessed singer-songwriters like Lily Allen and Mika, the cut-and-paste nature of grindie felt slightly uncomfortable.
Fast forward to 2007 and a new brand of grindie has slowly begun to emerge. Bands and artists who are genuinely influenced by both genres are giving birth to an energetic hybrid of grime and punk and the indie kids are eating it up.
