Hear “Sweep The Floor,” An Icy New Wiley Instrumental From Logan Sama’s FABRICLIVE
A rare new production from the grime godfather.
Having made his name on Rinse and later Kiss FM, and come up alongside grime itself, Logan Sama is the guy who has the entire grime scene on speed-dial—and just in case you ever doubted it, the DJ has put his contact list to incredible use for his addition to the FABRICLIVE mix series. Rather than a straight-up DJ mix, Sama's FABRICLIVE 83 is a compilation of exclusive productions from the likes of Wiley, JME, and Jammer, with original acapella bars from a long list of MCs—including D Double E, Kano, Flowdan, Novelist, and more—arranged by Sama over the top. The result is a continuous, relentless flow that breathes with the same energy as any of the iconic live sets that pepper Sama's radio career, and have made grime what it is today.
One of the exclusive productions on display is "Sweep The Floor," a rare and super icy instrumental from grime godfather Wiley that opens the album with a menacing prowl. "When putting together this project for Fabric there was always one name that I wanted to get on there to give it the real grime stamp of authenticity; Wiley," Logan Sama told The FADER over email. "Wiley has been a lot less prolific in recent years with his production than in the past, so it was a real honour to be able to get a tune out of him as well as the intro to the CD. I think it sets the tone perfectly and when I told the MCs that there was a Wiley track on here a lot of them wanted to have their lyrics put on that track without even hearing it!"
