Two of the freshest, most future-facing names in grime – Novelist and Mumdance – will release a new EP on XL Recordings. The pair have already created one of 2014’s biggest grime moments with their acclaimed ‘Take Time’ collaboration (from Mumdance’s recent EP on Rinse), and the ‘1 Sec’ EP is set to build on that track’s huge success. Novelist and Mumdance are two artists at the very top of their game. Mumdance – widely regarded as one of the UK’s most consistently innovative producers - has recently released a string of incredible grime productions that have twisted and stretched the genre into new directions for labels such as Tectonic, Rinse, Keysound and No Hats No Hoods. Meanwhile, Lewisham’s own 17 year old Novelist has been hailed as grimes’ next big thing. Equally adept in the role of producer or MC, Novelist rides effortlessly over an array of styles and patterns whether it’s in his solo work or with Lewisham crew The Square. He was today also shortlisted for the BBC’s Sound Of 2015.
