"Hello, Becoming Real!"
Becoming Real’s warped take on Wiley’s eskibeat first swam into focus towards the end of 2009, and we’ve been enourmous fans ever since. His sound is devoted to the minimal, cold strand of early grime music, but – like a disparate bunch of producers, from Jam City to Spooky – he’s stretching this sound, warping it into ever more pretty, frightening, ghostly shapes. After releasing two excellent EPs – Jens Clock on Ramp and Spectre on Not Even – he’s going it alone, putting out Closer/Antarctic City on his own label, Cold World Industries. Check them out below.
His live show’s a sight to see, and tomorrow night, the 25th February, Becoming Real will be at our 2nd birthday party with Snoretex, Actress, Lone and Pariah at XOYO. Do come along!
