UPFRONT AROUND THE UK DISCOVER: Maisha There Is A Place (Brownswood, 2018) London group Maisha are one the many young and contemporary acts making jazz cool again, and November saw the release of their debut LP on Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood label. This is a hugely spiritual, organic and compelling album that rides on rhythmic drums and bass, with uplifting trumpets and deliciously rich melodies. HOT OFF THE PRESS Despite constant stories of club closures and ever more draconian councils, there is good news on the horizon for London clubbers: the people behind the mighty Printworks venue are opening a new space in Greenwich in summer 2019. As well as a 3000-capacity indoor space, Magazine will boast an outdoor area that can accommodate 7000 people for fine weather festivals. The multi-million-pound venue will also host concerts, exhibitions, ceremonies, conferences and other events from its location overlooking the Thames. Work will start on the brand-new building in December and, given the big impact Printworks has made in a short space of time, it promises to be a vital new addition. See you down the front. 6 DECEMBER 2018
A SWEET NIGHTMARE The 20th year of the much-loved Back to Mine mix series will kick off with a new entry by Nightmares on Wax. The dub, soul and world music producer is a perfect fit for a series that encourages artists to serve up the sort of sounds they’d play at an afterparty or lazy Sunday session. The Leeds-born, Ibizabased DJ, live act and party curator had a fine 2018 that saw him release his latest album Shape The Future, assemble an Essential Mix and remix greats like Moodymann. His Back to Mine mix – scheduled to drop in January – features cosy, colourful tunes from his own archive, plus hiphop act Children of Zeus and house man Soulphiction, making if perfect for intimate groove sessions. GRIME BOOK TO BE MADE INTO TV SHOW Earlier in 2018, esteemed music writer Dan Hancox released his essential non-fiction book Inner City Pressure, which charted the rise of grime in the UK in the early naughties. In it, he considers what sociopolitical conditions gave rise to the genre, as well as detailing plenty of razor-sharp anecdotes to make for a landmark written history that draws on more than 12 years of interviews. Television rights to the book have now been picked up by Pulse Films and Paramount Television. “I think people really recognise that you can’t tell the story of grime without telling the story of the city and society around it,” said Hancox. “And likewise, if you want to understand London, its politics, poverty, riots, gentrification, frustrations, tensions and joys, there’s no better insight into the first two decades of 21st-century London than grime.” HEYMUSIC.COM 7
