Earlier this year we welcomed two tastemakers of the original Bassline sound to the label for the first time on 1FBSS007. Two generations collided as OG Midlands Bassline producer Lil Milly collided with the young Manchester protege who's one of a handful of young producers helping carrying the torch for the sound in the last couple of years to keep the flame burning.

In February they served up 'The Steppa' which received huge support from Keep Hush poster girl Saint Ludo who made it a staple of her sets this year on platforms such as Höer Berlin and of course Keep Hush with clips going whipping up on a storm on social.

With arguably one of the biggest 4x4 releases in the scene in the past 12 months it would of been rude not to welcome a VIP to celebrate our 5 year milestone.

"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)
