Originally a fan of US hip-hop, E.m.m.a. became interested in grime and dubstep through Skream's seminal "Midnight Request Line," a hobby which led her to work with names like Sully, Rebel MC and dub legend Adrian Sherwood, the latter of whom apparently had an influence on Blue Gardens. Reportedly inspired by everything from sci-fi to Spaghetti Westerns to her own brand of "Victorian grime," the LP sees E.m.m.a. mostly sticking to the 130 BPM tempo in the vein of her Keysound labelmates but also features dips above and below. --RA
I've been waiting on this one for awhile and it easily exceeds expectations. Blue Gardens is out July 29 on Keysound.
UPDATE: SOUNDCLOUD STOPPED WORKING. ENTER SPOTIFY.
