1Forty

‘Levelz 2 Dis’ sees one of the most exciting collaborations not just to come out of the 1Forty camp, but the UK Garage scene, and the outcome has exceeded what was an already very high expectation. Simply put, we're talking about track of the year potential. A catchy melodic undertone rattled by a bassline that can only be described as nothing short of perfect, vocalled by a Coco at the very top of his game, to deliver a track that will ultimately go down as one of the stand out tracks of the NUKG era so far.

MPH has woven his sound into nearly every conceivable corner of UK dancefloors, strapping together monumental releases for some of the scenes most important imprints. From smooth garage creations with DJ EZ’s label Nuvolve, Kiwi Records, Southpoint and now 1Forty to be added to that list, to raucous bassline bangers for the likes of Night Bass & CruCast, its difficult to find a leading underground label within Garage & Bass music that MPH is yet to encounter.

Coco returns to the label after his feature on the Dance Dun Remix in October 2020 which saw a set on Sir Spyro’s BBC 1Xtra show to celebrate the release. The Sheffield MC and Producer has been steadily championing the grime scene for the north with his unapologetic delivery, colourful character and undeniable energy earning plaudits from the likes of Complex, DJ Mag, Red Bull, Noisey, i-D and regular backing from Annie Mac, DJ Target, Charlie Sloth and best mate Toddla T. Fresh off the back of performing at Stormzy’s Merky Festival at Ibiza Rocks and pairing with Sheffield United FC for their Premiership Kit Launch last year Coco delivered his best body of work to date with his ‘Regional Murker’ EP with Target and Toddla T giving it their ‘Targo Embargo’ and ‘Hottest Record In The World’ backing respectively. Going into 2020 Coco put out more productions but also still consistent with vocal releases including ‘Cooking’ alongside Jammz, Blay & Capo Lee and the powerful ‘I Love It (Black)’ in response to the BLM movement.

His top-tier calibre of releases across the last three years has seen the MC collaborate with standout names including AJ Tracey, Nadia Rose, Scrufizzer, Conducta, Shola Ama and of course fellow steel city don Toddla T. This stellar discography has seen him deliver ferocious sets across festival stages such as Glastonbury, Outlook, Annie Mac Presents: Lost & Found, Bestival, Notting Hill Carnival, Nass, Kendal Calling to name a few.

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. Over her career she has played up and down the country and overseas in the likes of Norway but recent highlights include BoomTown, Beatherder and a number of appearances in Sheffield at the likes of Tank & The Night Kitchen. 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.

Whilst working on the track for this project she was on the hunt for some vocal stabs which she shouted Champagne Bubbler for. He sent a full vocal over which he recently wrapped up and after hearing it Nina decided to use the full version on the track.

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.
