It's been 18 months since we last saw Dunman appear on the label after sampling Ruff Sqwad’s ‘Xtra’ and turning it into a Drill influenced Grime instrumental for Lyrical Strally’s ‘Grime Street’ acapella taking the Grime slot on the 1Forty Acapella EP.

Since then hes ramped things up once more within that time with production credits now under his belt for 2022 MOBO nominee Manga, appearing on BBC Radio 1's Soundsystem Christmas Carnival Special w/ Jeremiah Asiamah for a Guest Mix and stacking his support list even higher with dubplate king Riz La Teef regularly backing his dub packs. 'The Renegade (Dunman's Speedy G Edit)' is making it ways out of one of said packs as we kick off 2022 with a freebie to get the raves bumping.

Dunman is an extremely versatile Grime/140 producer based on the south coast who started out on Logic at the age of 18, and now 25, recently graduated from Bournemouth Uni in Music & Sound Production. Despite the hectic student lifestyle he allowed himself plenty of time to churn out beats at an alarming rate, releasing on the likes of Boxed and Southpoint and regularly sending out dub packs to the top 140 DJ’s, he often receives support from the likes of Oblig, LCY, Neffa T, Glume, Gundam, Rapture 4D, Daseplate and J Beatz to name a few.

Dunman is renound for not just his originals but an ever growing list of refix’s and edits which are essential for any Grime DJ in the dance. It is where he has some of the most fun with producing combining his taste for sampling and love of numerous genres to create for any given scenario, whether that be an RnB esque ‘wifey riddim’ or a Grime flip of a house classic to turn a dance on its head you can be sure Dunman has the productions for any situation. It’s lead him to have an ever growing list of guest appearances on the likes of Reprezent, Mode FM, 1020 Radio (Bristol) and Trickstar (Brighton) and more recently Rinse FM and BBC Radio 1, and a number of bookings across the coast supporting the likes of D Double E, Killjoy, Joker, Royal-T, J.D Reid and plenty of others.

FKOF Premiere! 

Leeds-based troublemakers @1fortyproject are back with a new release - and it's the imprints first-ever dubstep drop. @SketchiProduction's got the honours and it's an absolute banger! 'Osami' drops next Monday and you can bag via the pre-order link...

"What better way to heat things up for the return of club season than the first official single of 2022 and the first official Dubstep single for the label. Sketchi makes an appearance on 1Forty for the first time in three years after two successive BSS appearances (1FBSS003/1FBSS004) see’s him return to channel his earlier 140 influences with a record ready to make shockwaves across the dubstep scene.

"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 (the latter two being no surprise here) he serves up ‘Osami’ to announce his return."

T!M makes his first official release on the label enlisting Logan for his first vocal release, bringing with him thumping low end for the club sound systems.

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.

2019 really saw Logan come into his own as both an artist and an MC, being picked up for LOTM8 by Jammer paired with a string of high profile releases making him without doubt one of the most versatile names of today's generation of MCs. With releases across MoreTime Records, with Kouslin on Durkle Disco and Idris Elba’s ‘Yardie Mixtape’ respectively, says all you need to know. There are also honorable mentions for tracks 'Badda (Sinais VIP)' with Bianca Oblivion, ‘Like Me’ with Treble Clef and ‘Ready Fi Di War’ with Trends both of which gained significant traction across the BBC, Rinse & Reprezent also, alongside a run of huge underground smashes on 1Forty elevated him once more including ‘Bun Dem Down’ with Hamdi and ‘Set Trends’ with MPH.

Murder He Wrote features once more on FNG for his eighth release on the label going back to his hard hitting UK Funky roots on 'M808' after skipping around the 1Forty spectrum on his last few releases. 

Blending elements of Broken Beat, UK Garage, Soca and House into his own off-kilter take on bass music, Murder He Wrote’s playful productions and edits have been destroying clubs worldwide for some years now. Originally breaking out via a flurry of releases on the Roska Kicks & Snares imprint, MHW’s tracks have gained heavy support from a diverse range of dance music's most respected tastemakers including Mary Anne Hobbs, DJ EZ, Gilles Peterson, Redlight and Jamz Supernova. Working across 3 decks, his eclectic, low-end focused DJ sets have seen him land guest mixes on BBC Radio 1, Boiler Room, NTS, Rinse FM and BBC 6Music - alongside a touring schedule that’s taken in clubs and festivals around the world including Fabric, Ministry Of Sound and Outlook.

Since 2019 we’ve seen a MHW Boiler Room debut, a production on Fox’s debut album ‘Juice Flow’ on Swing Ting (one of Mixmag’s albums of the year), the heavily supported singles ‘Honey Riddim’ ft Snowy and ‘Worthwhile’ ft. Logan, the latter making the A-List on Rinse FM and Spotify’s 'New Music Friday’, and DJ sets across Europe, North America and Australia. More recently there’s been two collaborations with UK Funky legend Roska, official remixes for Afro B, T-Pain, P Money, Mollie Collins, Zed Bias and Children Of Zeus plus an eclectic run of singles on MHW’s own Rhythm Athletic imprint - amassing over a half a million Spotify streams and support across BBC Radio 1, 1Xtra, NTS and 6Music and more guest mixes across the stations too, as recent as Sian Anderson at the start of March.

With releases across labels such as Diamond Hand Records, Beastwang and Southpoint many of his productions have caught the attention of some high-profile artists such as Interplanetary Criminal, Mainphase and p-rallel, leading to a release on Hardline Records aswell as support on Radio 1, Kiss FM, Rinse FM and Reprezent.

ODF closed our 2022/23 season last Summer at Wire and has been in touch with the label ever since.

Richard Wright makes his first appearance on the label since April 2022 where he first signed with the label for 1FFNG007 with his track entitled 'Trust Meh'. He returns 2 years on with a 00’s inspired 2 step smash 'Deja'.

Despite producing on and off since 2005, COVID and the resulting lockdowns allowed Richard Wright the time and headspace to start taking things a bit more seriously. Initially being unearthed with his first official release in February 2021 by UKG label Strictly Flava. From that release and the early send out of ‘Trust Meh’ he has already received plays across Rinse, Balami and SWU with support from the likes of this EP’s very own Gemi as well as Ollie Rant, Daffy, Chimpizm and a bag of other UKG producers who are leading the line nicely for underground UKG.

From listening to his discography it's not hard to understand how his inspiration came from the tape pack and record shop culture of the mid 90s to early 2000s. With the recent resurgence of pioneers like El-B and new school producers embracing the UKG and Breaks movement that alone was enough to make the Brummy producer get his skates on and start getting some projects exported out his PC and making 2022 the year he started his push and has been consistent with his output since.
