B2. Spokes - Tragedy In The Jasmine Garden

Since its first night in March 2013, Boxed has helped cultivate a
generation of instrumental grime. Inspired by the raw talent coming
through in 2012 and driven by the lack of club spaces to play it in,
Slackk, Mr. Mitch, Oil Gang and Logos’s clubnight has hosted rooms at
Fabric, Plastic People, The Troxy and Birthdays, and is set to embark
on its first tour later this year. Some of electronic music’s most
crucial producers - Mumdance, Finn, Murlo, JT the Goon, Yamaneko and
many more - have found a second home of sorts in Boxed, and the
residents were amongst the first people championing their music.

People have talked about “the Boxed sound”, but key to Boxed’s success
is the range of sounds found at the club night: you’re as likely to
hear peak-time anthems by Trends and Spooky as you are mediative
experiments by Sharp Veins. For the first 12” on the Boxed label, they
showcase the breadth of styles that the night represents. Slackk and
Dullah Beatz’ contemplative ‘Forest Walk’ is the polar opposite of
Lloyd SB’s stripped back banger ‘X Out’, while Trends’ monstrous ‘Old
Skool 2’ refix seems to share little join common with Spokes’ ‘Tragedy
in the Jasmine Garden’. But all have been road-tested at Boxed and
become crowd favourites - at both the club night and on this release,
they make perfect sense together.
