East London's Ruff Sqwad man dem gather together their greatest instrumentals spanning the crews ten years in the grime game.
Released on No Hats No Hoods, this collection features the groups 'golden' period, with some of their best loved, and now pricey rare preciously 12" only white label gems (sort it out discogs crew!), plus a few never-before-heard tracks.
Eighties kids, Ruff Sqwad sampled from some unexpected sources; rock, classical to the Rocky soundtrack and even Gun 'N' Roses - drawn to the epic strings, and the threatical melodies. Probably some of the best grime you'll ever hear - check "Functions On A Low" - a melancholy flute-led oddity with chunky, basic bass-stabs and light kicks or the busy dramatics of catchy '03 offering "Anna" and the classic "Died In Your Arms". KILLER.
