For the next Single on the Label 1Forty welcomes some homegrown Leeds talent in the form of Vital Techniques & Dialect, they link up once again taking one of the oldest Grime Instrumentals in the book and flipping it into a 2 step heater.

Brothers Antony and Liam have been producing all things Grime, Garage and Bass since 2007. Vital Techniques and their Record Label Second To None Music was established in 2010. After a couple of years grafting on the Leeds circuit they earned their stripes playing for the likes of Jungle Jam and Boombox Circus leading to support billing for the UKs biggest promoters - Detonate. Year on year each release has boosted their reputation which has seen them become one of Outlooks go to bookings, having played the festival 8 years running including playing the Main Stage, as well as Room 1 back home at Fabric for the Outlook Launch Party. Although they have become notorious up and down the UK supporting major UK artists such as Chase & Status, Skepta, Kano, Ms Dynamite and Preditah they’ve also played a number of headline shows, both here and across Europe in Amsterdam, Budapest, Lyon and Prague.

With a discography spanning nearly a decade, aside from their own Label they have released with Benny Page’s imprint Dub Shotta, Mungos Hi Fi’s Scotch Bonnet, as well as Four40, Sleeping Is Cheatin, Hot Cakes & more earning support from a vast majority of artists in the underground, past and present such as Benga, Skream and Hatcha to the likes of Logan Sama, DJ EZ, Majestic and Holy Goof. They also receive regular support across 1Xtra, Kiss FM, Rinse & Reprezent. With strong roots to the underground they’ve worked with Jungle royalty - General Levy as well as fellow 1Forty artist Killa P. Other names they have worked with include Devilman, Lady Chann, Dread MC and P Solja.

Often looking to work with fellow Leeds artists Dialect has been one of their go to MC’s for some time now, and in the running up to his clash with Jafro on Lord Of The Mics 8, the works haven’t stopped running.

"I find it quite hard to find a lot of modern Grime with that weight it originated with, and its similar with the Funky but 1Forty seem to be finding these records and putting them out, keeping that flame alive." - Toddla T (BBC Radio 1)
