HIP HOP RELEASE: V/A – Grindin' Volume 1 mixed by Mr Thing

Grindin’s 10th release sees UK Hip Hop DJ Mr Thing mix the first official mix CD off the label. Mr Thing has honed his turntable technique to that of a fine art and now he has done the same with his production. The former Scratch Pervert is THE party DJ, with a residency at London superclub Fabric, Thing knows the tracks that truly rock a crowd. To see the effect this inside knowledge has on his own production you only need to witness what happens when needle hits the groove on one of his own tracks. Besides skills and experience, Thing has dedication like no other when it come to digging for those untouched and unrivalled samples and breaks. Not many people would dare step to him.

In 2006 he teamed up with Yungun to release the critically acclaimed album Grown Man Business. Mr Things soulful backdrops are what provoked Yungun to drop more of his deep, thought provoking lyrics for which he is known for. Now a member of The Extended Players crew alongside DJ's Shortee Blitz, MK, Renegade and Harry Love, Mr Thing continues to represent himself in all musical forms of hip hop music.
