Late last month, London DJs Elijah & Skilliam represented grime’s new school with an exclusive mix for the XLR8R podcast series. This week, we’re bringing in grime grandaddy Terror Danjah, who’s been in the game for nearly a decade, but still has plenty to bring to the table. We profiled Terror Danjah in the current issue of XLR8R, and his still-fresh album, Undeniable, released last month on Hyperdub, showcased the prolific producer’s unmatched ability to consistently re-write the grime formula in new and interesting ways. As for this mix, Terror Danjah leans heavily on his own productions, but also weaves in efforts from like-minded beatmakers such as D.O.K, Royal T, and TRC. It’s also not shy about vocal tracks, as the hyperactive flows of Wiley, Tempz, D Double E, and several others all feature prominently. Things do begin on a mellow note with a few rhythm’n’grime selections, but those sexy sounds melt away over the course of 35(!) tracks, as the music becomes more upfront, the energy increases, the beats bang louder, and the silky singing gives way to in-your-face raps. All in all, it’s a top-notch grime mix, and one that covers all the stylistic bases—exactly what we’d expect from a wily veteran like Terror Danjah.
