Not that you can hear them especially well, but I did all the harmonies on Shy FX's remix of Plan B's tune "She Said", one of the singles from "The Defamation Of Strickland Banks" LP.

She Said (Shy FX RMX)

As a result of reading this thread:
http://www.grimeforum.com/forum/showthread.php?135601-Sample-Battle
...this track exists. I wasn't even a member of GF, but had nothing better to do after getting home on Christmas Day, so spent a few hours on this. It's not particularly 'Grime' - actually I have no clue what it is, but yeah, was fun to do. All samples/sounds are from the supplied pack with the exception of the JME acapella, which I only really put it in there to see if the track would work in a Grime context at all. Can't decide whether to do more to it or not now the comp is over (I came second, not bad), but if you want the instrumental, just ask - that might well be the encouragement I need. :)

Grime Forum 'Sample Competition' Entry

D.Kay feat Stamina MC. From the album "Individual Soul" on Brigand Recs.

Fellow S/C users, please do me the small honour of only using the 'timed' comments for remarks that actually relate to that specific part of the track, should you have anything to say about them. Thanks. :o)

LYRICS:

Every time I'm in your company
I get a funny feeling that'll come to me
Like a child that just witnessed a falling star
And while I don't know what this means to me
I'm confident enough to say it seems to be
That the world is yours and that you should go far... all that you are.

It's part of who you are fundamentally
How did I get this message that was sent to me
I've got to admit this situation's quite bizarre
But I've got something that can comfort me
Even though you might not be the one for me
That the world is yours and that you should go far... all that you are.

(all that you are) You can be all that you are... (all that you are) you'll go far... (all that you are) if you can be all that you are.

All That You Are

2006 bznz. Bait samples, simple beats and bass. Will mix this down again one day. Honest.

Engulfed

2013 bznz. A track made for a winter-themed competition on DNBA's Production Forum; can't remember where I placed in the end, but I definitely didn't win. Also in dire need of a new mixdown, as this was done entirely on headphones.

Across The Roof

Another 140 experiment from 2010. Dunno where my head was even at to make something this moody, but I like it. Super indulgent, but eff it. It does need more, but I dunno what of exactly...

8 Bit

Possibly 2004! My one attempt at trying to do what was "around at the time" - y'know, what a few other producers were doing - and I've never used an Amen break again since. The horn sample you recognise in this? I used it first, but woleva. :)

Soundbwai

Pretty sure this is a 2002 idea. I tried going for a musical vibe, with a fairly atypical (at the time) structure/arrangement. Listening to it now, it could be made to sound really cinematic/soundtrack-y, but that requires a skillset I'm not sure I have... :)

You And Me

A 2003 idea, done in a moment of extreme anti-sociality in a friend's apartment on an amazingly sunny day in Melbourne, hence the name 'Flipside'. Has got a sorta summery mood to it though, so that's how I made my peace with it!

Flipside

2004 idea, and perhaps the only tune of mine that was ever played by anyone else on radio. Like, EVER. Shout to the Pendulum boys for spinning this on their Breezeblock mix for Radio 1; looking back over the T/L now my tune sticks out a mile, which makes it that bit more of a something, hehe.

Spot the sample, anyone? :)

Afterlife

2004 or so bznz, a remix for Geeneus; the original midtempo track never saw the light of day. This was me trying to do something a little more club-oriented: as you can hear, that didn't really work out too well for me. :)

Dry (RMX)

2002 bznz, a remix for JFB; the original track never saw the light of day. I like this even now as it's almost a tune and a half, the way it's structured — that'll perhaps make sense to a few of those that make it all the way to the end of the tune!

All For Nothing (RMX)

So this came out not long ago... me doing backing vox on a Katy B track is not something I ever imagined would feature on my musical 'timeline', yet here we are! There doesn't seem to be decent audio of this anywhere, hence my upload. Hope you like it.

Like? Buy! :)

So Far Away - Katy B x Wilkinson x Stamina MC

I have no clue what this is, or what should happen with it. 🌀

I imagine it to ultimately have a vocal, and production-wise it's not at all finished, but yeah... please try to ignore the few glitches in the audio, I can't work out what's causing them yet. 💀

Bizarre Diva Ballad

So in a bid to not let my time, creativity and studio equipment go to waste, I decided to try my hand at this remix competition Blu Mar Ten had going last month. The original is here:

https://soundcloud.com/blumarten/empire-state-remix-competition

I call this a VIP 'cos I don't think it's quite different enough to constitute a remix, though this was deliberate, since I liked the mood of the original but just felt it coulda gone a slightly different way...

Anyway, here it is. I kinda lost momentum on it then ran outta time, so there are (small) things I'd like to have included, but I think it's respectful of its predecessor, and doesn't do what many other interpretations I've heard thus far have done either — just to have had that acknowledged would have been cool, even if not to win. Alas, 'twas not to be. Hope someone likes it, nonetheless. 

Peace. ⭐️

Blu Mar Ten - Titans (Armour's Sweet & Salt Popcorn VIP)

A 2002 track I made myself that I gave away way back in the Myspace era of social networking, haha - someone mentioned it to me a few days ago as to make me realise it's not actually available anymore, so I ULed it again. Maybe someone out there will like it now, who knows? :)

Many thanks to the guys at Subvert Mastering - http://subvertmastering.com - for their work on this track.

LYRICS

What a crazy time I'm havin'
I'm getting to experience things your everyday people just can't imagine
Some of them may feel like I'm bragging or even blagging
But trust me, it's a once-in-a-lifetime chance I'm grabbing
In just over a year
Who'd have thought this shit would happen, I expected to be nowhere near
So where's here? Even now it's not quite clear
This was a fun ting, and now it might just be a career
I've seen things I couldn't describe if I tried
It's like my favourite childhood memory several times multiplied
A no lie - the year's been kinda good for this kid
I can't believe it - I never thought it would but it did!!
It wasn't planned, but then it didn't fall in my hand
I played shitty parties & did weekends on pirates on the FM band
Spent nearly 8 years behind closed doors
Now it's dancefloors, Miami shores and hectic European tours
But I'm glad I'm not famous
Already people are waiting for my head to disappear up my anus
They expect vainness- but for me the transition was painless
I'm lucky if I can buy myself a new pair of trainers
Just 'cos I'm singing I'm not blinging
My phone's NOT ringing and the sight of me doesn't stop women
I'm just a guy that had a real lucky break
Let's have it right y'all - please, make no mistake
I'm already doing what I always wanted to do
Don't wanna be seen on your screen, I'm happy talking to you
Even though I'd rather get props than Top Of The Pops
However shit drops is outta my control 'til the music stops
I never believed I could have achieved
All I have so soon, to be so well-received
I'm relieved the need to succeed couldn't make me bow to greed
Nor could it affect my word or my deed... that's tha real!

I ain't done too bad, coulda done worse
But there was no way I was gonna stop at just one verse
I was stunned first, then I got my energy burst
If you could see my face you'd know only the rhyme was rehearsed
Two years ago, that's when I got married to the mob
Became an accessory to the Brazilian Job
Call it guilt by association: I made my hobby an occupation
By finding focal points for my frustration
Prior to that every day was a gripe
Simply confirming my existence as a stereotype
Shit job, shit pay, no social life
No hope, no love, just total strife
Led to believe I was at a bleak end
Being told to get 'a proper job' and do my music on the weekend
If I'd have listened where would I be now?
The few people that stop me would be walkin' by me now!!
My flow was a hit, so now I'm supposed to blow it to bits
'Cos "Part Two" seems to be the words on everyone's lips?
Although I'm more than satisfied with all that I've done
Certain people are still like: "Yo son, we need another one!"
See, all the hype is kinda like a vortex
Name checks, and questions on the same old flex, like
"Yo, I'm not looking to get a man vexed
But people wanna know what's next!"
Still I bide my time, not rushing to provide a rhyme 
Other people guiding my mind is like the blind leading the blind
That's why I'm turnin' my collar up, 'so I don't get swallowed up
By the all the people screaming for a follow-up
See, I'm-a do this when the time is right
Don't wanna be charcoal tomorrow if I'm fire tonight
I desire it tight, so if I'm inspired it might
Be admired & liked - no hype, just words takin' flight... that's tha real!

Tha Real

In a time of low winter sun, we all hark back to summer and its fun.
Rolling back the musical cudgels of the now, Stamina and Chemo evoke a
time when music with proper soul flowed from our speakers' cones. A
love letter to a time where everything seemed simple, sexier and
simply superb.
Available for free download, let the waves of real feeling wash over
you, rather than the desiccated sonic offerings served up in the
mainstream.
Brighten up your bleak midwinter and let those last remnants of the
rays give you something to look forward to in 2013.

Summer Again

Single from the 'Kryptonite' LP; this is the radio edit. Produced by DJ Fresh, and features myself and Koko on vocals.

Hypercaine

Single from the 'Subfocus' LP. A fair number of people are still unaware that I provided the vocals for this tune, and granted, it's not immediately obvious. We slowed down the whole track, I sung my parts then the vocals were pitched up by the same amount; the idea was to get that old-skool/hardcore acapella feel to the vocals.

Could This Be Real

This was meant to be a track from T-Power's 'Music4Life' project from a coupla years ago, but due to HD failure the whole album was lost. He was gracious enough as to allow me to give away this track as a free download, so if you like it, take it!

Depth Charge

The first tune I ever made (to completion, at least) and one side of the only record I ever had released. And still the best tune I've ever written...
ALL COMMENTS ARE TO BE WRITTEN *BELOW* UNLESS TIME-RELEVANT, PLEASE; non-pertinent timed comments will be deleted.


Dexter's Groove

Produced by The Others, and features on the 'Red Planet' LP, available now on Dub Police.

A little something different from me. Change of tempo, change of mood - I was asked to do this out of the blue, and thought "yeah, why not?" The results won't change the world, but it makes me happy, and that will do. :) 

LYRICS:

Well, here's a piece of the puzzle I never thought would have fit
I thought these beats would be trouble - things would be awkward and shit
Since being released from the bubble what's most important is this:
Each line decreases the struggle, each word a portion of bliss
Never a gimmick, just hopefully a cleverer lyric
To maybe untether the spirit of whoever is in it
While every cynic's sitting thinking "what antic is this?"
Well, opposites attract me: I'm the antithesis.

Though I keep a circle of friends it's fair to say that I'm a loner
Straight-talker to the end, don't care to play up my persona
'Cos cats get played when they masquerade
Therefore good bad or indifferent, here is where I'll stay 'til life is over
Unlike a soldier I won't die for a flag
Nor resent a guy 'cos he had something I couldn't grab
I've always walked this path, there've been no tactical shifts
'Cos opposites attract me: I'm the antithesis.

Antithesis

Produced by Zero T, and features on the 'Roxy Music EP', available now on Dispatch Records.

In all honesty, the only thing I can tell you about this is that this is definitely my voice. Other than that - nada! Haha. All you can here in this are vocal snippets recorded in something like 2007, so I don't even remember doing them! Obviously there's been a lot of processing and whatnot, but yeah, sounds good to me... :D

Rainha

Project from a few years ago by DJ Patife in conjuction with DJ Ron - the idea was to involve a bunch of MCs on a 'love and peace' vibe. Nothing ever came of it though, I don't think. As well as me on it there's Demon Rocker, Det, Flinty Badman, Skibadee, Dynamite, Cleveland Watkiss, Five-O, Shabba, GQ and Fats. Mixdown on it is absolutely diabolical, drenched in effects too. But never mind. Enjoy. :)


One Love

An entertaining mix of smart and st00pid. Try it, you might like it. Or something.
