What’s in Sheffield? I was only there once but it was pretty miserable, like always grey clouds and bus stops and mud puddles.

But, it does have some music history.. from 80′s synth pop – Heaven 17, Thompson Twins, and Cabaret Voltair to Autechre and now the Arctic Monkeyfaces.. but there’s some mad scene that’s been comin up there called niche – named after a nightclub that recently closed.. its kinda speed garage – sped up more and run through some dumb basslines! if you’ve been to UK in the last year – you’ve heard T2 – heartbroken-  a quintessential track from that scenes sound… its all about 140 bpms and has a 4/4 and pretty much bangs! my dudes Bok Bok and Manara (aka Faggatronix – that name kills me) just put it down with what’s what in the niche/bassline set right now..

Check em out (they are not from sheffield btw)
