Due to the format of 1Forty as a record label official remixes have been somewhat hard to work into the schedule focusing on mostly originals across different unique projects, with unofficial bootlegs as free downloads and VIPs for our birthday making up the rest of the catalogue. That being said we know it's been long overdue so we introduced a project for exactly that.

We asked some of our signed artists to pick some of their favourite tracks from the labels discography, sourced the stems and let them do their thing paving the way for a 1Forty Remixers EP.

‘They Don’t Know’ brought together two of the Labels key members in Killa P and Fork And Knife to deliver an authentic modern day dubstep gem for the lead track of 1FGRM004 in 2019. It was only right to ask 9TRANE what his pick of the 1Forty discography was to remix and his choice wasn't too hesitant. Not the first time working with Killa P’s ragga influenced Brixton accent on vocals either, as many will remember, the first ever 1Forty release 'Compute Riddim 'which launched the label arm back in 2017.

A renowned MC in the Grime & Dubstep world. Killa P’s acclaimed for his unique patois style and hard lyrics. Killa became known as one of the UK’s prolific MCs while he was a member of one of the UK’s founding grime crews, Roll Deep. His style and flow led to commercial success and earned him a new generation of fans through his 2008 collaboration with The Bug on the seminal track ‘SKENG’. Fast forward a few years to 2016 where he released the biggest track of the year with Sir Spyro, Teddy Bruckshot & Lady Chann on Deep Medi along with other successful releases, including ‘Rate Us’ which was his 2nd Release under 1Forty on 1FGRM002. 'They Don't Know' and 'How Many Time's were his third and fourth track respectively as he became the first MC on the Label to come with a double header on a single release.

Featuring only earlier this year 9TRANE brought us ‘Evil Side’ with Logan on vocals. Other releases on the Label also show 9TRANE’s unique trademark sound yet versatile approach including ‘Assault’ on 1FGRM002, and ‘Appletize’ which made ripples throughout the scene. Toddla T latched onto the Norwich talent through these releases and has since gained regular support on his show on BBC Radio 1. 1Forty’s flagship producer also tinkered with some UK Funky collabing with Arridim now also known as Criticals' Particle for ‘Plazma’ and the follow up ‘Plazma VIP’.

Murder He Wrote's and Snowy's 'Honey Riddim' went down in 1Forty history as it became one of the labels best selling records so it's no surprise that it was chosen to be remixed by Deadbeat UK, giving it the bassline twist whilst maintaining the original feel good funky elements.

‘Nottinghams Saviour’ aka Snowy, a star of the underground Grime scene who has been tipped for a huge career by the likes of Complex, Crack and Mixmag. Snowy has continued to build on this profile over the last couple of years. The UK’s hottest sound selectors regularly support his releases inc. the likes of Mistajam, Toddla T, Sian Anderson, Logan Sama, Dj Cable, Plastician, Target and many more. He has made a number of appearances on 1Xtra, both solo for Spyro’s #SoundsOfTheVerse and and sets with the likes of Flowdan, Jammz, Tommy B, Shadow amongst others. His shows have taken him out to the likes of Dubai alongside Skepta and Stormzy and in 2017 became the first ever artist to take Grime to Estonia and the start of 2019 saw him perform in Ethopia alongside another 1Forty featured artist - Maxsta. 2019 was a stellar year for releases with arguably three of the biggest smashes in the scene showing off his versatility once more with - 'Reddit', 'Mighty Moe' and 'Effed' Ft Jason Williamson of Sleaford Mods.

On remixing duties is 1Forty's unsung hero - Deadbeat UK. Mixing and mastering the majority of the Labels catalogue he finally came to the forefront with 'That Time Again' Ft Forca in April. Recognised as one of the main driving forces behind UK Bass music, Deadbeat UK’s productions have helped to form and elevate the underground sounds of the UK over the last few years. Striving to stay ahead of the curve with his production, he’s one of the most unique and consistent artists in the scene. Deadbeat UK has worked with some top names; his list of collaborations including Conducta and Royal-T; the latter for Flava D’s huge fabriclive 88 project. He has also headlined up and down the country and played Boomtown, Balter Fest, NASS, Kendal Calling and Outlook among other festivals. With a strong following gained through consistently exciting releases and energetic sets, Deadbeat UK is looking to continue his hot form in to the second half of 2020.

Murder He Wrote x Snowy - Honey Riddim (Deadbeat UK Remix) [Free DL]

For the Funky & Garage addition to the first ever 1Forty Remixers EP we had to shout Killjoy who has been a big contributor to FNG releases since the label was formed. His pick of the bunch being Dialect & Vital Technique's 'Best In This', originally taking one of the oldest Grime Instrumentals in the book and flipping it into a 2 step heater, Killjoy has twisted it into yet another direction carving out a Funky/Grime hybrid.

Dialect has been the leading MC out of Leeds for some time now, coming from a battle rapping background as one of the main names on the Don't Flop roster before really pushing forward as an artist in the past five years. His accolades put him right up there when we talk about MC's in the north having featured countless times across the likes of 1Xtra often being championed by Sir Spyro, as well as other platforms with regular music videos landing on SB:TV and GRM Daily. 2019 saw his debut 1Forty release 'Best In This' landing just before his coveted Lord Of The Mics 8 clash with Jafro.

On remix duties is Killjoy, having being a key player in Nottingham’s underground music scene for the past 8 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 a figurehead for 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 on ‘Like This’ as well as mix’s for FabricLive & THUMP.

In more recent years he has been consistently developing his signature blend of Funky, Bass and Grime in his productions becoming a staple in a host of sets from Funky & Bass’s most reputable names. This has lead to a number of appearances on Marcus Nasty’s Rinse FM show in the past couple of years including participating in the 1Forty Takeover on the former NASTY Crew DJ’s weekly slot.
