The Leeds VA project. 

Coming from our inception back in 2021 in our home of Leeds we set about creating a community in which we could share, promote, and appreciate the amazing talent and culture that is in the city. A year down the line we have been fortunate to reach an opportunity where we can start promoting this music even further... The first instalment of The Leeds VA project showcases a glimpse of the underground electronic music scene in Leeds, offering a tasty assortment of UKG, Breaks, and all else that your heart desires (or doesn't).

The next release sees the return of Lucent after his bootleg of Pa Salieu’s and BackRoad Gee’s 2020 hit ‘My Family’. Becoming renowned for his funky flips over a year since his last appearance this time he returns with a second flip of arguably Grime’s biggest ever record - Sir Spyro’s ‘Topper Top’ Ft Teddy Bruckshot (RIP), Lady Chann & 1Forty staple Killa P. 

For some reason in the ever thriving UK scene we don’t seem to come across too many producers from Merseyside but one thats been a consistent staple across the Bass & UK Funky scene in the last few years is Lucent. Coming up to nearly a decade in the game he is regularly affiliated with the likes of Hot Cakes and Durkle Disco as well as the infamous but now redundant Trouble & Bass (USA) along with Tumble Audio and Roska Kicks And Snares. Releases across these labels have seen him work with AC Slater, Dread MC and more recently SB:TV’s critically acclaimed Buggsy. 

There’s been work with other 1Forty artists also with the likes of Fish and Shantie. Being the stand out UK Funky producer that he is, it’s no surprise that regular support comes from the likes of Marcus Nasty, DJ Pioneer, Roska and even Tensnake which led to shows across the north at the likes of Hangar 34 (Liverpool), Night Kitchen (Sheffield) to further down the country at The Club (formerly The Irish Centre, Nottingham), the infamous Motion (Bristol) and Lightbox (London).

Solomon Eves - Funkogun [FREE DOWNLOAD]

Following on from the huge success of Compute Riddim w/ Killa P & Badness we had to get 9TRANE back on board for 1FGRM002 with his newest track for us entitled ‘Assault’ which came out March 5th and was supported by Toddla T on BBC Radio 1. Appletize is the follow up single from this release as a free download. Initially a dub for the 140 maestro's sets, the reaction the bootleg of this UK Funky classic had was huge so we thought we should give it away for the masses to enjoy. Yet more support coming from Toddla T (BBC Radio 1) as well as Marcus Nasty (Rinse FM), Travis T (Radar Radio), Benteki (Reprezent) & Shapes to name a few.

Since his last release with us in June 2017 he’s continued to supply DJ’s with the heat with further plays across Radar Radio, BBC 1Xtra & Reprezent Radio. The Norwich producer has also had another release entitled ‘Skeleton’ on the south coast’s critically acclaimed Southpoint. Having performed at one of the largest underground festivals of 2017, ‘Trajections Festival’ (Bristol) he heated up the dance for the likes of Jammz, Big Zuu & Jack Dat which lead to further bookings back home alongside Champion & Murlo. He also joined us for the 1st time in Leeds at our takeover for UP4 at Mint Warehouse in November.

The start of 2018 see’s 9TRANE back in the 1Forty realms despite discovering his love for UK Funky which you may see an original release of from him on the Label later this year..
