MIXED BY Inkke

Back in February, THUMP spoke to Glaswegian producer Inkke about his Faded With Da Kittens release, and how he melts down his two most overt influences – grime and Memphis rap – into the kind of beats that we’d happily see D Double E jump on as much as A$AP Ferg. Since Faded With Da Kittens, Inkke has been held that little bit tighter by London’s Boxed crew, playing their regular rotation at Dalston’s Birthdays, and just this week, he’s released his brand new Crystal Children EP, his official debut for London grime label Local Action.

If Faded With Da Kittens was his homage to Southern rap, Crystal Children sees him pull grime apart in his own, playful way: we defy you to listen to his Thinkk Star (Club Mix), and not to pull an unholy screwface. To mark his rise and the heady joy of Crystal Children, Inkke’s turned in a mix for THUMP stuffed with bangers of all stripes: grime, rap and house all feature, shards of each splitting the skin.
