1 year after the launch of 1Forty with 3 heavyweight events in Leeds making waves around the country, the time has come to engineer our identity and sound further through releasing music under our own Record Label, orientated around the underground genres we represent. Grime, Bass, Garage & UK Funky.

Following on from the success of the Debut Release (1FGRM001) which was supported by the likes of Spooky and featured in Mixmag. The 2nd leg of the 3 legged genre-specific releases has arrived - 1FBSS001.

These first 3 releases that will span over the course of the year will be completely free to download as a thank you for all the support so far. We will be having a Live Stream to celebrate the launch of 1FBSS001 (21/09/17).

Frazah, widely known for complex sound design and unique synthesis, has moved a bit further away from his commonly recognised sound and instead ‘Shanghai’ infuses the perfect blend between bass and house music.

Originating from London, Frazah is at the forefront of the young talent coming through the bass scene right now. After moving to Leeds in 2015 he soon stamped his authority on the scene, with releases and features on the likes of Rinse FM, Deeprot, Project Allout Records, Gassed & more. He recently launched the Krudd Records Label with his collaboration alongside Bru-C, track entitled ‘Original Sound’. Some of his tracks have eclipsed the 100,000 play mark on both Youtube & Soundcloud.

Having played his first headline show in Germany earlier this year and headlining Tank (Sheffield) of recent his stock just keeps on rising. He’s also been a familiar face of recent at the like of Antwerp Mansion (Manchester), Amusement 13 (Birmingham) & The Warehouse (Leeds). Not to forget Mint Club, where this time around a headline slot awaits alongside Preditah, Swifta Beater & Slick Don at 1Forty’s 1st Birthday. With My Nu Leng, Holy Goof, Skepsis & more already regular supporters of his music Shanghai is hoping to break even more boundaries.

Albzzy comes with a mellow and ambient intro dominated by its melodic chords sweeping up to a wobbling yet transforming bass throughout the hook on this track entitled ‘Big Man’.

After starting out producing music 6 years ago, Albzzy has gone on to have numerous releases in recent years on huge labels. From global giants Armada Music, to the bass driven Four40 Records & Hot Cakes amongst others such as Saucy & White Widow Records. In 2013 Albzzy started performing at local venues and has since amassed numerous headline slots both around the UK & in major European cities.

Over the past couple of years the producer from the south coast has gained support from plenty of influential artists both on a nationwide and global scale such as Night Bass Founder AC Slater, #8 in DJ Mags Top 100 DJ’s in 2016 - Oliver Heldens, This Aint Bristol head honcho Billy Kenny, then artists closer to home such as Rinse FM figurehead Marcus Nasty & Radio 1’s Monki. This as well as the continuous radio support across Radio 1, 1Xtra, Kiss FM, Kiss Fresh & Rinse FM are all imprinting his name into the scene with regularity.

Arridim puts a unique spin on this timeless track by Ms Dynamite & Redlight. Having being picked up by the likes of Skepsis, Shapes, Mr V & FooR this Bootleg isn't to be taken lightly.

Originating from South London, Arridim quickly made his way onto the Bass scene, securing sets in highly regarded clubs such as Fabric, XOYO, The Arch and The Nest within his first year.

His production, often defined as 'unique' and 'genre-breaking' has gained him attention from pioneers of the bass scene such as Marcus Nasty, securing him his first Rinse play back in March for Arridim's single 'Pompeii', which was picked up by Southpoint's sister label 'Southpoint: Introducing'. In addition to this release, Arridim's fusion of Breaks, Drum & Bass and House styles has landed his production releases on Pack London, Certified and Articulate. He was then picked up by MB Artists who now represent him alongside the likes of Youngtsa & Hatcha.

Arridim's presence has been ever growing, gaining him radio slots on stations including Trickstar and Reprezent, as well as supporting artists such as Cause & Affect, Taiki Nulight, Inkline, Skepsis and Darkzy.
