It’s been over two years since a 140 Single entered the free download series on the label, as fresh talent T!M joins the ranks with a flip of M.I.K’s ‘Ice Rink’. Cult hero of the Grime scene and the Family Tree member first released the vocal in 2014, and could be heard far and wide from the scenes top selectors, from radios to the dance. Now 9 years later, it’s had the Bristolian treatment with the young producer breathing new life into a classic of the 2010’s Grime era.

21 year old T!M started producing around two years ago and only released for the first time in August this year. Key influences such as Disclosure, MPH and Coki signpost his diverse taste for electronic music, which have lead to an accelerated learning curve and is already helping him carve out his own sound.  

With less than 6 months under his belt of releasing music he’s already played a number of venues around Bristol, released music on the likes of Deeprot, and had his music played at major UK festivals and leading underground radio stations such as Boomtown, Kendal Calling, Rinse FM and Reprezent.  

His debut release amassed 60,000 streams and since then has gone on to gather support from DRIAA, Danny Rankin, Saint Ludo and DJ Jackum leading him to be picked up by 1Forty, making it the perfect way to tee up 2024.

The first release of 2024 sees the return of Sketchi, 18 months after he brought the first official Dubstep single for the label ‘Osami’. He kicks off 1Forty’s year with a high octane Dubstep/Grime hybrid take of Flowdans infamous ‘Shell A Verse’ acapella that the ex Roll Deep member made available on Bandcamp in 2018, and has since seen new heights hit with Sammy Virji’s UKG Remix in 2023.

1Forty has featured a selection of artists on the Label from its home in Leeds and Sketchi is part of those very grassroots. Starting off his journey learning to mix and produce at the age of 14, growing up in the same area of Leeds a musical relationship was born with Mikey B thanks to their shared love for UK Bass music.

Taking inspiration from the early era of Grime and Dubstep along with the artists he follows across the bass music spectrum that have such a strong focus on low end sound design such as My Nu Leng, Taiki Nulight, S.P.Y, Dimension, Joker and Enigma Dubz, it is yet again on show here.

Doc Zee returns to the label some 5 years since his last release, to put the cherry on the top of that release back in 2018. A VIP of his funky flip of Wiley’s eski-classic ‘Colder’. The original released back in 2006 as part of the ‘Eskiboy Da 2nd Phaze’ Mixtape. The bootleg in 2018 and subsequent VIP were given a name change ‘They Don’t Know’ due to the additional sampling taken from early Grime raves.

Starting out DJing from a very young age and jumping into production at the age of 16, despite never taking it seriously at the time it set him up for a future in music. Attending university to study music production in 2014 the music artistry started to flow. Since then he has released on a multitude of labels including fellow signee Ali Mck’s label Articulate Sound, My Nu Lengs label Maraki Records, Hyphos label Manuka and the legendary Four40 Records out of Birmingham to name a few. The Suffolk based producer has gathered support from My Nu Leng, Skepsis, Distro, Marcus Nasty, Murder He Wrote, TC4 & loads more.

The original version of bootleg ‘They Don’t Know’ saw huge support and was premiered on BBC Radio 1 on Toddla T's Show back on the 8th November 2018, with the likes of JME spitting over it two years later in 2020.

9TRANE makes his return to 1Forty some 4 years after his last release alongside Logan on ‘Evil Side’. Having been part of the Label since Day 1 when he laid down a statement of intent with lead track ‘Compute Riddim’ Ft Killa P & Badness on the debut release when the Label arm was formed - 1FGRM001. We couldn’t be happier to welcome him back with his first track to enter our Single’s Free DL series with a UKG take of Danny Weeds iconic ‘Salt Beef’, one of 9TRANES favourite Grime instrumentals of all time from the producer and member of Roll Deep.

9TRANE’s rich history with 1Forty is woven with his 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 gained regular support on his show on BBC Radio 1 over a number of years before his exit from the station. 1Forty’s mainstay also tinkered with some UK Funky collabing with Arridim now also known as Criticals' Particle for ‘Plazma’ and the follow up ‘Plazma VIP’ both still receiving regular plays some 5 years later.
