Quickly following his production showcase for Ins–rt’s Exhibition Mix series in January, Boardgame James announces his second official solo project on 1000Doors - a four track EP of instrumental Grime, love letter to, and indulgence in a recurring phenomenon, Sino-Grime.
~ The sun rises in the east ~
One half of Handsome Boys with Kamran (FKA Moleskin), and label head for 1000Doors, a platform launched in 2020 to support the solo and collaborative efforts of the collective - Kamran, Yamaneko, Rimplton and Shaytaan (the last of whom appears here on the EP) - Boardgame James offers up part two in his ‘Daydream’ series, following his debut EP of the same name last year.
A woozy, tripped out journey into the world of Sino-Grime, a not quite sub-genre of Grime, championed in early Dizzee Rascal, Wiley and Jammer productions, Step Into My Office flows like water through calm and euphoria, into showdown and celebration, before finding resolve in the peace and stillness of Grime’s lesser explored ambient world.
A thematic continuation from last year’s Daydream EP, Boardgame continues to build a strange alternative London for himself, one dripping in fantasy and adventure, where geography and history seem muddled, and imagination reigns supreme. Feet on desk, relax – this is an opportunity to check your inventory.
