What to look for? I usually don't make predictions and just get surprised by every twist and turn, makes for better entertainment but there is one thing that looks undeniable, and thats the wave of instrumental grime. Led by Elijah, Skilliam and the Butterz camp, it looks massive for 2011 with already Mood Swings by Swindle making my mouth foam. You've also gotta look out for the output on Hardrive, Oil Gang, Earth 616, Rwina and No Hats No Hoods. I'm sure Hyperdub will have another mega successful year with the Kode9 album and Funkystepz releases. Swamp81 aswell look on course for murdering more dancefloors, with more Addison Groove and Boddika releases, with Night Slugs probably tearing up more rulebooks and bridging more gaps between genres. And oh yea, James Blake's world domination is imminent... duh! ...Now, on the festival front, Glade is back, and back to the more intimate setting and Bloc at Minehead looks unbelievable, the lineup is crazy and it keeps getting bigger every time I check on it...
Obviously, there's more to be said on 2011, but this is what I'll immediately look out for
