A dataset of UK Grime records as listed on Discogs between 2000 and 2021, along with the code to gather/update the data yourself (or copy for other genres).
Data last updated 22nd November, 2021.
The data/ directory contains the data. Three files are included:
releases.json: Metadata for Grime releases (AKA records)tracks.json: Metadata for individual Grime tracks, taken from the releases inreleases.jsonartists.json: Metadata for Grime artists featured on the releases inreleases.json
Code used to create this dataset can be found in R/. You can test it out now, right in the browser, with Binder.
This was heavily inspired by Karl Tryggvason's Discogs Collection Statistics work, which gathers similar metadata for other genres.
