5+20 years of Straight Up Breakbeat! Since the rebirth 5 years ago, Straight Up Breakbeat releases have showcased the Finnish talent of Fanu, Resound, Dj Sofa, Aeon Four and many more, together with appearances by international artists such as Basic Rhythm, Dead Man's Chest, FFF, Loxy, Skeptical and more. With the very 1st release on the label going back to 2000 there's soon another reason to celebrate - a full 25 years since the label's inception. To mark both milestones and to look ahead to the next quarter of a century, STATES OF ART highlights the global network of the forward-looking sound. Released on three vinyl EPs, and followed by an extended digital compilation, the project features the very best in modern jungle & breakbeat driven dnb: DJ SOFA, FANU, FFF, MANTRA, RESOUND, TIM REAPER, AEON FOUR, BASIC RHYTHM, BLOOD TRUST, ESC & MINERAL, JESTA, OUT OF FUEL, PARK SHADOW and many more. As if that's not enough, the pioneering graffiti artist EGS delivers a special artwork to make the physical releases add up to a three-part visual collection.

Losing Control EP

Geostatic & Acris - Reversed Destiny

‣ Available here: bfan.link/allontop

In 2022, coming out of that very weird lockdown, I was starting to sketch in the studio. I made Life Is But A Dream, and I had no idea what to do with it. I knew I was stepping away from my own label Hospital Records, and that was it. I played the track to my agent Chris BluMarTen and he instantly said "send it to Goldie. That would be a vibe to release on Metalheadz". I loved the idea so I did, not expecting for a minute that Goldie would like it. To my surprise, he called straight back, and said he liked it and he’d like to release it.

This felt surreal - All my D&B had only been released on Hospital ever since 1996. And now I was looking at a release on the OG of foundation labels.

G said make another tune, and I was tossing ideas back and forth with Conrad Subs, and we came up with a beat we liked. I’ve been following Genesis Elijah for years, always loved his lyrics and flow, and I sent it him, and he came up with the vocal lines for All On Top. Again, Goldie loved it, and we had a release ready to go.

I’m beyond proud and grateful for the opportunity to release on Metalheadz.

~ Tony
