Listening to the deluge of mixtapes and free mixes from hip-hop artists and electronic producers alike is often an insurmountable task. That’s why we scour Datpiff, LiveMixtapes and beyond, separating the wheat from the chaff each week.

NAMMY WAMS
NITESHADE INC MIX

Newcomer Nammy Wams makes a splash with this powerhouse, dub-a-minute session. The instrumental grime scene is so fertile that we’re treated to at least a new mix or radio session every week, yet few with the non-stop motor and contagious sense of urgency on display here. Apart from the Cooly G opener and the James Ferraro closer, the mix is split between the producer’s own instrumentals and those by fellow rising talents Shadow Face and Echalon, and the order of the day is battle-ready uneasiness and a ruptured, speaker-rattling glory. The mix is often overwhelming, with negative space seemingly banished to the Negative Zone, which we’re betting will keep this one in rotation.
