South London producer Nima announces his debut album. A project five years in the making that pays homage to the formative dance floors of UK bass music. Drawing from the spirit of nights like FWD>> and DMZ in London, and many from Bristol, the record sits at the crossroads of hip hop, dubstep, grime and cinematic sound design. Of Iranian heritage, Nima grew up on a steady diet of 90s Hip Hop and Grime before discovering 140 culture through pioneers like Skream and Benga. His sound developed further in Bristol during one of the city\u2019s most vital periods for bass music, later refined at London\u2019s Roundhouse studios. His productions blend filmic atmosphere with the physicality of sound system music, heavy hip-hop drum structures, rolling 140 basslines, and emotive grime-inspired melodies. Across the album\u2019s tracks, Nima explores the evolution of UK sound system culture through his own lens. From the weightless grime-inspired \u201cImperial Dreams\u201d and cinematic, jungle-inflected \u201cBig Up\u201d, to the stripped-back melodic grime of \u201cRuff Sqwad\u201d and the deep, meditative bass of \u201cOne People.\u201d Referencing everything from Plastician\u2019s Beg to Differ to Mala\u2019s Boiler Room set, Fugees skits, and samples from films like Imperial Dreams and Belly, the record is a reflection of the cultural layers that have shaped Nima\u2019s musical identity. Nima\u2019s debut is a personal statement to the foundations of UK bass music. Cinematic, weighty, and built for the dance floor.HouseElectroDanceTechnoTechno<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
