After years of speculation, suggestion and rumor, Braindead Entertainment is very proud to present Footsie's debut producer album, King Original Vol. 1. Named after his father's legendary East London reggae sound system, King Original Vol. 1 features over 20 classic Footsie productions composed between 2004 to 2006. This is a snapshot of grime at its most exciting and innovative; defining Footsie as one of the most pivotal producers during its golden era. Dubstep don Skream cites Footsie's beats as a big influence on his style. Although the grime soundscape may have changed, the driving drums, twisted melodies and freezing cold bass lines on King Original Vol. 1 remain as vital today as they were all those years ago, with the UK underground now revisiting these sounds, textures and rhythms and reinterpreting them into new forms. This is grime riddim at its most impactful; the beats that caught Dizzee Rascal's ear and held the pirate scene in rapture. Until now, only DJ Tubby and a small handful of elite DJs had access to tracks such as "Arnie," "Merked Again," "Hit It" and "Prang Boy." Now, they're available to everyone.
