In general the good stuff isn’t cheap and what’s cheap isn’t good
so post some tunes and labels that you’ve found are generally good value for money
feel free to post any lucky bargains you’ve had too
-p jam-anger management (the d double vocal on white’s a bit spenny but the instrumental release on harddrive is bare cheap and great in the mix)
-the vast majority of tunes on army bullet are hard and usually under a tenner
-same goes for a lot of southside allstars, you can pick up one of the millions of versions of big shot-stomp for under a tenner and you’ve pretty much got kahn-percy
-danny weed-kick off
-wiley-avenger, and much of dumpvalve (buying geeneus-what remix > dropping 50 bar on morgue)
-dizzee rascal-stand up tall, you get wheel instrumental and the killer vocal with d double (give u more)
-the xl releases of i luv u, getting the remix version means you get og and instrumental too (it’s the clean version of the vocal but there’s like 3 bleeps in the whole thing)
-mercston-good old days
-most of the black ops, jon e cash shit, a few are more around the 20/30 mark but they’re all pretty much the same tune anyway
-most of the musical mobb/youngstar tunes
-virgo-monster
Plastician - Pump Up The Jam, quite a few of the Macabre Unit bits are quite cheap, loads of the Butterz releases are top and not expensive, Oil Gang records are sick and you can still get loads of em new.
macabre unit- slow jam, horror show and lift off are all value and top bangers
same goes for wot do u call it think that was cheapest grime record i own
never been mad about butterz releases bar a couple
oh yeah dj wire- believe me and dj narrows- saved soul both great and decent price, as is a lot of that wot do u call it garagey grime vibe which is some of the most fun imo
got some white label that had 4x4 remixes of igloo, ru from the endz and Wheel Hoe (Wheel Remix) for cheap
DJ Mondie Ft. Flirta D – Step Ur Game Up Vol.1 for a few quid
rossi b - e10 riddim for a 5er
p-jam 0 untitled for a 5er
roll deep - regular for a 5er
theres loads of cheap grime if you dont go for the seminal records.
loads of unmarked whitelabels in record shops aswell in london that i seem to stumble across
lucked out big time at flashback essex road this holiday and doubled my grime collection, been meaning to check out the greenwich vinyl exchange heard good things but frankly greenwich is long ting
yeah flashback is always worth checking out for 2nd hand gems. id seriously recommend checking charity shops in trendier areas like dalston or brixton.
vinyl pimp in hackney is quality. they buy records of you too if you want to sell any
Yeah I’ve got that white label, it’s well fun in the mix. Got it from Greenwich M&V actually, about 10 or 15 quid I think.
Recently I did a swap with a guy, gave him Know We instrumental and Ice Pole Remix for Wiley - Freeze and Macabre Unit - Dem Nah Ready. Was quite pleased with that.
check out dj target and his label aim high, seems to have been overlooked for his mate danny weed (who is like…better and all) but he’s got some gems and quite a lot of it’s cheap
i think i spent like 2 quid on runaway and it’s a percy
and pick yourself up, chosen one are serious bangers
Oh seen its a repress. Nah fuck that. Who cares if it’s first pressing or whatever. No one cares about that unless you’re like obsessive and stuff. Literally no difference in the vinyl apart form maybe aesthetics
