Killjoy makes a long awaited return to the label with his last original release coming in 2019, this time delivering his first Bassline release alongside new generational talent Manny Mashup both of whom are keeping the raw 4x4 Bassline sound alive and kicking with ‘Don’t Run’.

Having being a key player in Nottingham’s underground music scene over the past decade before emigrating to Australia, his productions have been duly rewarded with consistent releases on the likes of Champion’s Label - Formula Records, Time Is Now, Slimzos Recordings, Sector 7, Extra Spicy and last but not least 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.

Manny Mashup was somewhat only exposed to underground music after moving to Manchester Met in 2017. Immediately getting the bug after regular visits to Antwerp Mansion he started DJ'ing and securing regular slots on the infamous Bloc2Bloc.

By the time he finished uni he had become very invested in learning production and two years on he's had releases across Tumble Audio and ProjectAllOut amassing support from the likes of Killjoy, Deadbeat and even the likes of Window Kid after he latched onto his debut EP on Instagram bumping it on his socials regularly.

Taking masses of amounts of inspiration from the Birmingham Bassline producers such as Swifta Beater, DJ Pantha and Lil Milly its safe to say in the time since, he has becoming one of the most well known of the new generation producers of the original sound, with consistent output and a cult following on TikTok as we move into his 3rd 1Forty release.
