Sirens Soundin Off!!
Dizzee Rascal’s LP, “Maths & English“, (XL Recordings) has been out in the U.K. since mid summer 2007 and finally hits the U.S. shores tomorrow, 29th of April!! (via Def Jux) The album is Dizzee’s third and is said to be one of his best, although “Boy in da Corner”, was true to his South Bow (East End of London) roots in every way. Straying a bit from the previous brash, in your face music of years past, “Maths & English” is a bit more relaxed, with American influences and a pop tinge to it.
The second single off the LP, “Sirens“, recounts feeling shaken after robbing a couple and soon after, hearing the sirens coming. “Blood when you hear the sirens coming, I can hear the sirens coming, better run when you hear the sirens coming, I can hear the sirens coming”.
With the track getting some remix support from a few artists, allowing it to cross into a greater audience, Chicago duo, War Games, (House legend Angel Alanis and Local Hero of the Trash Menagerie crew) in particular, doesn’t compromise the distinctiveness of Dizzee’s identity. They’ve turned “Sirens” into a dance floor monster! Replacing police sirens with rave sirens, whilst keeping it true to its rugged edge they maintain a polished and clean sound. This one isn’t for the docile being.
Keep an eye out for War Games in the near future as they have a few projects on the verge, including more remixes, original tunes, as well as upcoming projects from the NoiseFloor Crew. Now check the video of Dizzee being hunted by the Brits…
