Pitch-black paranoia in south London.

Lewisham don and birthday boy Novelist (18 today) and DJ-producer talent Mumdance are proving to be one of the fieriest combinations in grime, and this month they follow the untouchable ‘Take Time’ with Nov’s 1 Sec EP on XL Recordings.

To accompany the release, they’ve put the label’s budget to good use with a slick nocturnal visual for the EP’s aggressive title track. Watch it above and check out the other track on the EP, ‘Shook’.

Looks like it’s going to be Novelist’s year – he was even named in the BBC Sound Of 2015 longlist. Watch the grime pair review the week’s singles for FACT TV.
