This November, we’re celebrating 10 years of Fine Grains. Expect far-reaching polyrhythmic sounds that are true to their local scenes: from Oslo to, Aberdeen, London, Amsterdam, and beyond. Join us as we put a marker on the 10th year with a showcase of label mainstays and future collaborators.
Chilean DJ Nicoba assaulted our senses as part of his Echobox show live at Dekmantel earlier this year. As a monthly exponent of exponent of ritmos latinos on his Con:texto show, he seemed the perfect foil for a live set by Colombian producer Blanali.
The warm hypnotising electronic jams from Blanali’s Birds of Paradise EP were a personal record, testament to a producer rich in talent and experience. We are excited to have the Barcelona-based artist play live in Amsterdam for the first time.
DJ Uraki Riddim, founder and host of the Fine Grains Echobox Show was raised on a diet of rowies, battered seagull suppers and jungle – so expect a calorie-packed set of fourth world and hardcore continuum-lathered sounds.
CAIN is the artist most synonymous with the label since our inception. Having completed a triplet of EPs, each telling their own story, we’re gearing up for a very special album release in 2023. Prolific in production, and with releases on other labels like Highlife, Darker than Wax & Boogie Box, his sound encompasses percussive influence from far and wide, yet always true to his bagpiping Highlands origins. This will be a set not to miss.
Closing proceedings we have the unrelenting machine funk of Moroka. Dance floor intensity with that loose swagger and swing we aspire to reference. Mo's forthcoming beat tape promises to be another stand out from a producer who has been refining his sound in recent years with releases on Steven Julien's Apron.
