RL GRIME STUNS WITH SABLE VALLEY SUMMER ARTIST COMPILATION

This past weekend, RL Grime’s record label Sable Valley debuted its first compilation, featuring Grime himself and a slew of talented cohorts including Whethan, Holly, Lemay, and many more. Grime unveiled Sable Valley in 2019, to the unbridled excitement of those familiar with Grime’s work, artistry, and unique perspective on music.

Although majority of this release’s content is new, fans might recognize “Hallow Tips” by Effin as a track featured on Grime’s most recent Halloween mixtape. Although most of the compilation is fresh content, the music feels like an old friend, like a welcomed instance of deja vu. The complication embodies Grime’s signature spook – that eerie, unnerving, sends-goosebumps-down-your-spine, type of wub and dub. Some stand out tracks off the album include “Outta Here” by Whethan, “Swoopin” by Baauer, and “All Push, No Pull” by Jon Casey, and “Worlds” by Heimanu, each eye-catching and hegemonic in their own special, spooky way. As a whole, the body of work is hauntingly thrilling and, for Sable Valley’s debut compilation, promising to say the least.

Heralding from sunny South Florida, I am a proud Florida Woman. In my free time, I surf the swamp, wrangle gators, open fan mail, and tend to my pets. In the wild, I’m most often spotted at immersive art spaces, step tappin’ in a shadowed corner of the club, hater blockerz on, totally incognito as your resident EDM spice girl. Although I generally tout my spicy side, if there’s one thing I’d love to impress upon the world, it would be this: it’s not a waste to give love to those who do not deserve it – it’s a gift. The world would be a better place if we gave, in kindness and in mercy, to those who need it most with no expectation in return.
