TOP 5 TRACKS RIGHT NOW
Mistajam sent us over some of his hottest and freshest tracks exclusively for The Music Ninja readers – so enjoy
1
Bass Boy – Yes (Here We Go) [Radio Rip]
The track is the musical embodiment of a massive ball of energy released over the course of 4 mins and 55 seconds. Birmingham based producer Bass Boy has cranked out a riddim that’s equal parts grime, bassline, juke and straight hands in the air rave. Best played loud preferably in a residential area.

Chiddy Bang, Katy B, Skream and Sia all know the writing power of Sam Frank and his recent run of solo singles (and collaborations with Bass Music supremo Skream) demonstrate the reason why you should really check out anything he puts out there. He manages to sound fresh and vibrant while his talk box and vocoder vocal style to is obviously a conscious nod to 70’s pioneers Stevie Wonder and Peter Frampton.

Visceral honesty in its most hard hitting form. If there’s any justice, this will be as big a worldwide smash as Strickland Banks was. If you don’t quite get what he’s talking about, look out for the interview I did with him recently on my 1Xtra show. Essential listening.

C4 ft Frisco, JME & Jammer – Off Track Remix
C4 is one of the most exciting artists in the grime scene at the moment. For me, he’s like a Grime Drake but with much more of an edge in the fact that his barring skills and singing skills are just as strong as each other. ‘Off Track‘ is his first single proper and has been bubbling on the underground for a minute. A perfect showcase of the potential he has to be the next big Grime star.

Ayah Marar – Mind Controller (Cutline Remix)
Ayah Marar, along with Jenna G and Diane Charlemagne, is one of those very limited few ladies who can lay claim to being the voice of Drum & Bass however it’s the hard hitting yet musical Cutline Dubstep remix of her new single ‘Mind Controller’ that really does it for me. Cutline’s brand of Bass music can most easily be described as musical tear out and I’m predicting big things for them in the future, especially off the strength of this remix.
