Various Artists - Undercurrents Vol 1 (3024-MEN6)

We are proud to present ‘Undercurrents’, the third series of compilations featuring artists from the 3024 Mentoring Program.

Started in 2020, the Mentoring Program run by label owner Martyn has become a worldwide online and IRL community of artists sharing resources, ideas and inspiration. This compilation showcases the wide range of fresh and amazing music that is continuously surfacing from the program, unbound by strict genre definitions.

Besides a collection of new music, Undercurrents is also a consideration of what a record label can be in 2024. Whether it’s a platform for repurposing old material, providing daylight for new sounds, artists or even entire communities, or injecting new ideas about authenticity and sustainability into the current of the underground, rather than partaking in the unwinnable race over algorithm dominance. An understated approach for maximum impact.

“Undercurrents Vol 1” features the talents of Monibi, Ila Brugal, samwho, Tōph, Alberta Balsam, Kudeki, Annebel, Anna Bahow, Danny Goliger, Ross Lowder & 16 Faces.

Hang Tough Hand In Hand VA Release Party & Takeover - Radio Buena Vida 29.09.24

When I started buying my first UK Funky records, I was immediately hooked on this syncopated style with its aggressive, swaying snares. The first record was bought and found by chance in a “grime” bin in Paris during a trip with friends. It was Emvee's “Groove EP”. I already had some affinity with bass music, but I didn't yet know anything about the genre. 

There was a very danceable, enthusiastic side to most of the tracks, with lots of vocals and euphoric elements. But on the other hand, there was a much more worrying atmosphere and more minimalist rhythms on some tracks. Sometimes very Uk funky and sometimes close to grime, Uk techno, dubstep or even hard drum. It's this side that I wanted to revive when recording this mixtape with selected tracks released between 2008 and 2024. Some are big classics, others a little less well known...

So I asked Loofi to create a visual representing dark funky with a cartoonish edge and a Halloween theme, since October had arrived and autumn was starting to show its face.

To accompany the mix, I added a whole host of samples from video games, including : Luigi's Mansion, Silent Hill 2, Medievil but also other samples from my personal database.
