21 unreleased tracks that need an official release
As we patiently wait for gold by Four Tet, Burial and many more to drop...
13 Sir Spyro 'Grenade'
With grime’s undeniable influence in contemporary chart music, it’s not surprising that many of the names behind the beats are making waves in the mainstream as well. Sir Spyro’s far from an industry novice; but after big-name collaborations with the likes of Stormzy reaching top-10; his instrumentals have never been more in demand. Here, AJ Tracey spits over ‘Grenade’, an unreleased belter.
14 Four Tet 'BACK2THESTART'
Four Tet is a producer of the highest calibre and his harddrive is likely stacked with unreleased bits. 'BACK2THESTART' was shared on his SoundCloud one fine summer day in 2015, and if you were one of the lucky ones to see it, a limited number of free downloads were made available. He shared a bit about why he made the track, disclosing that he honestly had no idea: “Made this on a plane end of last year... Not sure what I was thinking or why it exists… When I start a track by searching "acappella" in Pirate Bay the music always comes out a bit different.” Think Burial and Four Tet collabs with deep bass and an intricate house/garage rhythm and you have the aesthetic of 'BACK2THESTART', except it’s a bit less brooding, yet no less brilliant.
