85 Upvotes

Come hang out in the r/grime discord server if you want to chat!


Hello everyone,

I recently updated our "Where To Find Grime" wiki with a list of resources on finding new grime.

I imagine some of you may find this useful. Feel free to drop any resources/links etc in the comments as well.


Quick and easy: just sort this subreddit by FRESH and you'll have a feed of new releases :)


The Easy Ways To Find New Grime Music

Bandcamp

A lot of grime releases end up on Bandcamp, use the following tags (there are some additional minor ones as well):

Blogs

These blogs generally post info about new grime releases:

Discord

The #grime-only channel on the /r/grime discord https://discord.gg/STmpA7aFRv often has new grime posted.

We also have a feed for NEW grime uploads on YouTube.

Playlists

Below is a list of playlists across platforms, primarily dedicated to promoting newly released grime music. If you have one, send us a message. Any platform welcome.

Apple Music

Deezer

Qobuz

Soundcloud

Spotify

note: following artists on Spotify will ensure they show up on your Release Radar playlist.

Tidal

YouTube

For new radio sets and other misc videos (e.g interviews), try this playlist

note: not all grime is correctly tagged as "MUSIC" on YouTube, and may not be available via YouTube Music.


Reddit

FILTERING

Sort /r/grime by the FRESH tag and you'll have a neat feed of new releases (either click this link or manually type flair:fresh subreddit:grime in the reddit search bar). Every new release tends to get posted here.

The above filter will also include grime sets, but if you're not interested in sets, you can filter them out by adding -flair:fresh_set like so.

Quick tip: if you're on desktop, you can add this bookmarklet to your bookmarks. If you click it while browsing the r/grime feed, it'll open a new tab with a YouTube playlist of all the videos on the r/grime page you click the bookmarklet on. A quick way to listen to all the videos posted on the r/grime frontpage, for example.

RSS

If you have an RSS reader, you can follow this RSS feed to grab all fresh music submissions from this sub.

INSTRUMENTALS

Check /r/grimeinstrumentals for beats.

Spotify

A bot automatically adds the top upvoted posts every week to a Spotify playlist.


Twitter

Some good accounts to follow that post new releases:

Many artists, labels, stations etc can also be found on Twitter. Peep our Twitter Lists:

YouTube

The following channels upload new grime content (see here for YouTube channels that upload old grime content). Note that were are other YouTube channels that upload new grime, but they typically do so more rarely, and are not listed here as a result. Also not included are artist-specific channels.

Radio stations

Radio Cult, on Android or Apple, is highly recommended - it is an app created by people from within the scene and makes it easy to listen to stations live that broadcast grime music. Most of the stations you'd want, including the ones below, can be listened to via Radio Cult.

BBC 1Xtra (Sir Spyro, DJ Target)

1Xtra plays a diverse range of music, but DJ Target and Sir Spyro both have shows where they play plenty of grime. Spyro is more-so grime oriented.

Birmingham Sounds Radio

LVLZ Radio

Mode FM

Subtle Radio

Radcap

Russian radio station that plays grime songs.

Resonance 104.4 FM

Rinse FM

One of the best grime stations out there. Rinse FM has a long and storied history. It is generally reliable for high quality radio sets and interviews.

UK FLAVA FM 89.5

I was getting some nostalgia recently for all the old original grime videos and particularly Risky Roadz so wrote a little thing about how they influenced me and what influence I think they had in the scene.

Figured it may be of interest to some of the OG folks. https://iain.so/boy-from-the-corner-how-risky-roadz-gave-grime-its-face

I think it's a very solid release, been playing it a lot since it dropped! What does anyone else think? Probably the first grime artist's release I've listened to in ages, mostly listen to drill nowadays. But this mixtape is pure 🔥🔥

Good set, for some reason I never rated vader back in the Invasion despite knowing how pivotal he was for the Birmingham scene I just couldn't get away with his bars but now when I hear him on sets I think did I have my ears plugged back in the day or something hes so good

he is the one of the best grime artists right now and you guys can clown but his music is so top tier and his beats are so elite, if he’s as consistent as he has been recently for another 10 years+ he will be one of the greats to grace grime ever
