Album Notes & Community Reviews

This compilation gathers 22 of the eski instrumentals that defined grime's first wave, among them 'Eskimo', 'Ice Rink', 'Igloo' and 'Colder'. The beats had originally circulated on white label pressings and pirate radio rather than through shops. It stands as the fullest single document of Wiley's ice-cold production style.
