1Forty

Killjoy - Shanghai (Murder He Wrote Remix)

FABRICLIVE 88 perfectly encapsulates the musical force of nature that is Flava D. Its 30 tracks comprising predominantly brand new, unreleased material, mainly from D’s own studio, the entire mix simply bursts with freshness and attitude. Bookending the mix with melodic cuts which stretch her musicianship and production capabilities beyond limits she’s ever previously explored, there is also plenty in between to please fans of her devastating bass-heavy sound. Collaborations with Champion, My Nu Leng, Taiki Nulight, Holy Goof, DevelopMENT, Royal T and DJ Q (the trio appearing in their t q d guise) bring alternative perspectives to her dancefloor-led approach, whilst vocals from Miss Fire, Slick Don and Newham Generals’ D Double E respectively add soulful, confrontational and cheeky vibes to the mix. Killer exclusives from Distro, Notion and TuffCulture ensure that it’s never all about Flava D, but make no mistake, with FABRICLIVE 88, she’s made another huge step in her unceasing march to superstardom.

Heading up the lead track of 1FBSS002 is the rising star of the bass scene right now, Sammy Virji.

Making up 1⁄6 of Tremor Music Management, Sammy Virji has firmly imprinted his distinctive sound into the UK Bass and Garage scenes, particularly over the past year. With support from Holy Goof, TQD, TS7 and many more, he has landed himself regular DJ sets at renowned clubs and events across the country including Printworks (London), Tank (Sheffield), his residency at World Headquarters (Newcastle) as well as being welcomed onto Chris Lorenzo’s Bass Mentality Tour.

His releases with Chip Butty Records & Off Me Nut Records really put him on the map and has since amassed hundreds of thousands of plays thus leading him to sign with UAA Agency.. The Teeside based producer recently announced his ‘Tremor Presents: Sammy Virji Show’ on the third Friday of every month from 11pm-1am on Reprezent Radio. Sammy’s reputation is only set to continue growing in the coming months with appearances coming up at the likes of South West Four Festival and his debut 1Forty release on the way.

Nina Wilde has been putting in the work for the Midlands for over 10 years. Based in Wolverhampton she started DJ’ing in 2000 and jumped into production in 2004.

Releases have spanned across Champion’s Formula Records, FooR’s Yosh, Saucy Records, Hot Cakes & loads more.

DJ Q highlighted Nina as one to watch in his interview with Fabric in 2017 and its not hard to see why. As well as her long list of reputable labels she has released on she has gathered support from Herve, TS7, Kissy Sellout, Mike Delinquent and My Nu Leng who used one of her tracks on their Fabric Live promo mix. Marcus Nasty has also heavily supported her through playing her music on his radio show on Rinse FM as well as welcoming her for on their for a Guest Mix.

Bamz, the 22 year old programmer/producer & DJ hailing from South-West London. With a love for music from as young as 6 beatboxing before jumping into production at the age of 10 it seems music is ingested in her DNA. Pursuing various musical ventures through secondary school soon after leaving she met rapper - Nadia Rose. 5 years later she now has the privilege of being Nadia’s right hander both in the studio and as a DJ spinning for her at major UK Festivals such as Wireless, Glastonbury, Love Saves The Day, Bestival as well as international appearances at Sweden, Ibiza & Brazil where they performed at the 2016 Olympics.

The last couple of years has seen her pursue her own productions as well as assisting Nadia focusing specifically on Funky House. She hosted her own show on Radar Radio until recently before dropping her long awaited self released Buggin’ EP on Bandcamp which received a huge reception. Flexy shows her raw talent and various influences from different genres she has been following over both her younger and teenage years.

The final track on the all female release comes from K Minor. Based across the Thames from Bamz in North West London she started producing in 2013. Although playing instruments from a young age of 8 including piano and guitar gave her a real understanding for music theory. Having also hosted workshops for Native Instruments and Red Bull on electronic music production.

Since taking up producing more seriously in the last 4 years she has been self releasing her own UK Garage music with support coming from DJ Cartier, Mike Delinquent, Marcus Nasty as well as a feature from Complex UK. Funnily enough it was the Prince of UKG himself Conducta who recommended K Minor for this release after coming up short on our hunt for a female UKG producer.

K-Minor Ft 3Will - I've Been Thinking [Free DL/Charity]

Arguably one of 1Forty’s biggest collaborations yet comes from Tumble Audio’s longest standing servent Killjoy & UK Funky legend MC Shantie.

Having being a key player in Nottingham’s underground music scene for the past 6 years his productions have been duly rewarded with consistent releases in the last few years on the likes of Champion’s Label - Formula Records, and also Tumble Audio.. The Label he has pioneered since starting out alongside his own venture - Joyride. His hard work hasn’t gone unnoticed over the years with productions for the likes of D Double E as well as mix’s for FabricLive & THUMP.

Jumping on the vocal is Shantie who arguably had the anthem of 2017 with ‘Runnin It Red’ alongside Champion. Having been in the spotlight for over 15 years across the Funky, Garage & Bass scenes he’s recently being championing the resurgence of Funky with Marcus Nasty on Rinse FM. To follow up on this 1Forty has arranged this long awaited collab between 2 giants of the UK scene.

The two stalwarts of 1Forty have five releases between them since the launch of the Label last July and the time has come for them to collab. The result is a Funky & Bass infused melting pot of the two producers signature sounds combined - Plazma.

With Arridim following up from ‘Pirate Radio’ on 1FBSS002, the London producer set the bar extremely high with support from My Nu Leng. Likewise with 9TRANE and his track ‘Assault’ on 1FGRM002 being pushed by Toddla T on Radio 1. Not to mention his Appletize Release which gained huge support across from T, Marcus Nasty, Travis T & loads more.,Since then they both made their festival debuts at El Dorado Festival for the 1st ever 1Forty Takeover and shortly after arriving home ‘Plazma’ was born.

Arridim has his first grime track in the wings which can be expected on 1Forty very soon..

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.

Bristol is and always will be an absolute hot-bed for creativity and evolution within electronic music. The city has always been proud of it's deep musical roots and we are still seeing new stalks and stems flourishing to this day. The range of different labels and artists that have been able to build up loyal fan-bases from their home city is honestly quite outstanding, and always leads to more creativity, especially when we apply it to bass music.

As a label, we feel that Durkle Disco really are one of the leading forces in UK bass music across the board, with their release schedule constantly evolving and moving forward with new themes, constantly skipping a step ahead of the pace the rest of the UK decides to move forward at. Their recent run of releases across the breadth of 2019 has been incredibly impressive, from Logan & Kouslin's super popular funky roller: 'Bad', to the high energy link up of Boa Kusasa & Redders on the lively 'BTTF'.

The next in the their exciting run of releases comes to us from none other than the legendary Riko Dan, who joins forces with the super exciting production skillset Fonzo to deliver one heck of an original entitled 'Bushmaster'. From Fonzo's intensely rhythmic drum slaps to Riko Dan's legendary vocal prowess, this one perfectly summarizes just how much energy you can pack into an original UK funky recording, and it's perfect for adding that touch of spice to any set you touch down on.

We feel this is a perfect way for the Durkle Disco team to round off what has been a very impressive year, dripping with consistency and originality from start to finish. We feel if more labels were to follow Durkle's approach, we could be in for a truly golden generation of bass music here in the UK.
