Having demolished the likes of Wiley, Rude Kid and Jammer in the epic Lord of the Beats producer war late last year, all eyes and ears are on Footsie – a trend that’s set to continue with the release of the much-anticipated ‘King Original Vol 3’ on the 24th March via Braindead Entertainment
Already looking like one of the Grime CD’s of the year, King Original Vol 3 is a heady mixture of Grime, Trap and Dubstep style that Footsie has been steadily pushing over the airwaves and in the clubs for the past 12 months; channelling raw, uncompromising Newham General energy throughout.
Opening with the vibrant and funky ‘Bubblers’, KOv3 swiftly moves into darker territory. The brooding ‘Very Alarming’ and ‘Traps’ (a track featured on Footsie’s SBTV ‘Producers House’) bring drama to the fore, with Footsie utilising 808’s and vocal stabs to devastating effect.
But it’s stand-out tracks ‘Newham Tribes’, ‘Tekky’, ‘Spookfest’ and the anthemic ‘Cold Winter’ that raise the temperature and bring real dance floor vibes, with gurgling acid lines, booming drums and euphoric pianos. It’s a new dimension to Footsie’s sound that’s never been heard before.
“To me, this is my most important release thus far” says the veteran producer. “This volume brings me back up to date in terms of my catalogue and contains, what I think, is some of my best work so far”
Indeed, last year saw Footsie ignite the underground with King Original Vol 1 and 2, helping spawn a wave of nostalgia for the Grime sounds of old that shows no sign of dissipating. For Vol 3 however, he’s presenting the future – showcasing vital new sounds and textures.
