Buya Faanaa (Mashed-Up Remix) [feat. CoolKruger & Couza]

"San Junipero" is a musically enriched tune that captivates with four distinctive themes, each weaving a unique melodic melody with captivating incidental sounds. Each theme transports the listener to an emotionally resonant world while exploring a range of fascinating themes. From evocative nostalgia to vibrant hope, through melancholy and the quest for identity, each musical piece accompanies the characters on their journey, creating an immersive and unforgettable listening experience.

Polux Mac - San Junipero (Original Mix)

Wot do you call it, gqom? Well, yes. South Africa, and more precisely, Durban, has been incubating a vibrant micro-community of music makers over the last few years. For the uninitiated, gqom draws on the darker side of electronic music, hip hop, soundsystem culture, kwaito, UK funky and deep tribal African vibrations. The results are stark, yet utterly mesmeric.

The Sound of Durban Vol.1 represents the first full length compilation collecting the sound of Durban's suburbs and townships. Cruel Boyz' "Umeqo Emagqomini (Dub Mix)" sweats potency from its every pore; comprised of afro-dance polyrhythms intent on forcing movement from your every limb. Cascading clave clicks form the main body, but its the support of the steady rolling, percussive beat and ominous drone underbelly that really pressure any listener to jerk and jive.

Catch it on double LP and digital (with four bonus tracks) via the Gqom Oh! label on 29th January 2016.

Hot on the heels of releases from Otik and Benjamin Muñoz, UK label @pushandrun's next EP comes courtesy of London producer and bootleg king @haganuk. While he's been a little quiet recently - his last release was the 'Lockdown' EP on Beat Werk back in Jan 2016 - we're told he's spent the time honing his sound and focusing on why he started making music in the first place, and yeah, it totally shows. Heading towards a more stripped-down, groove-focused sound, 'Roots' draws on global sounds such as afrobeat, baile funk and gqom as well as UK flavours like funky and grime.

The EP has already been receiving major support from the likes of Gilles Peterson and Toddla T, and we've got the premiere of killer closing track 'Aburi' - all throbbing bass and rattling drums, but with a precision and focus that marks it out as Hagan's best work yet.

BBE Music is proud to present the first official compilation of edits by Berlin DJ producer and label owner Daniel Haaksman, titled “Black Atlantica Edits”.
In 2004, Haaksman put Brazilian baile funk on the map with his seminal “Rio Baile Funk Favela Booty Beats” compilation. Today he runs Man Recordings, Europe ́s leading tropical bass label, which has put out more than one hundred releases cultivating trans-continental music and sound dialogues between Europe, South America and Africa. For “Black Atlantica Edits”, Daniel presents ten dancefloor-friendly reworks, made both from vintage and current tracks, from all across the Americas and Africa. Featuring a diverse cast of international artists including Francis Bebey, CK Mann, Soul Brothers, Bonde Do Rôlé and Kaba Blon, this album explores the Afro-Latin diaspora, with edits that consistently grace the record crates of Gilles Peterson and Mr Scruff among others.
The album’s title refers to the Paul Gilroy's 1993 book “The Black Atlantic : Modernity and Double Consciousness”. In it Gilroy examines how the Black diasporic history of the Atlantic challenges art and knowledge to find new forms - with music being particularly important. Daniel Haaksman picked up on Gilroy ́s idea of the Black Atlantic as a transnational cultural realm when putting together his musical deconstructions and reworks for his “Black Atlantica Edits”. Daniel intentionally added an “a” to the “Atlantic” to point out to the non- English, Portuguese, Spanish or French speaking cultures that are part of the wider Black Atlantic space, e.g. Brazil and Angola, and to a further extent also countries like Peru, Cameroon or Mali, which all have been touched by the trans-continental dialogues and its hybrid culture.

CoOp Presents an all-new double-album compilation entitled ‘Plug One’. It features a plethora of
global talent from in & around the world of broken beat and beyond - some already well-established in
the field, some very much on the come-up and some brand new artists, this compilation is an
acknowledgment of a continually evolving sound from the label formed by IG Culture & Alex Phountzi
a few years ago. ‘Plug One’ affirms this electric movement, with a deeply fluid current running
throughout, with tracks ranging from the cosmic psych jazz of LCSM, to the classic UKG tweaks of
Groove Chronicles, to a veritable who’s who of 2020 bruk talent.
Following on from the recent single ‘400 Years’ by Reginald Omas Mamode IV, which had love from
Gilles Peterson (BBC 6 Music), XLR8R, Earmilk and on Spotify’s Butter & State Of Jazz playlists
respectively, we give you another taste of what’s to come.
Single two comes courtesy of NameBrandSound aka CoOp Presents label founders, IG Culture and
Alex Phountzi, inviting in the soulful vocals of Aleisha Lee to join them on the firing ‘Home Demo’.
NameBrandSound produce more of their classic heavyweight bruk, whilst Aleisha’s vocals ensure that
this one is nicely balanced between the rough and the smooth.
The single also includes a remix from upcoming talent Risa T who flips the track in a sweet UKG style &
pattern, and a further collaboration with her & 50% of NameBrandSound, Alex Phountzi on the track
‘Rotations’ (both tracks appearing on this digital single only), a slightly deeper affair with an ethereal
piano hook, and subtle guitar licks & synth stabs - Deep Bruk business! Risa T is a Tokyo-born,
London-based producer, who nurtured her music roots through years of classical training from a young
age. In recent times, she has released tracks & remixes for Da Lata, Summer Dance Forever and now
CoOp Presents.
‘Home Demo’ is released on October 16th digitally whilst the album compilation ‘Plug One’ is out on
double vinyl album & digital on November 13th.

Founded in 1996 by Peter Adarkwah, Barely Breaking Even (BBE Music) started life as a London club night, taking its name from the eponymous Disco record by the Universal Robot Band.

The label grew from the vibrant early 90's club scene with its first release, Stop & Listen compiled by Dr Bob Jones in 1996, opening the door to iconic series' such as All Back To Mine & Late Nite Tales.

A tonne of releases followed, ranging from Disco to Funk, Jazz to House. In the year 2000, the label celebrated Masters at Work's 10th Anniversary with a mighty box set that featured near 80 tracks.

A year later BBE Music spawned the Beat Generation Series of artist albums, notably introducing J Dilla (Welcome 2 Detroit) & a young Will.I.Am's first solo outing, alongside DJ Jazzy Jeff, Madlib & DJ Spinna, all of whom contributed to this seminal set of long players.

A quarter of a century and well over 500 titles later, having worked with Mark Ronson, Roy Ayers, Questlove, Hugh Masekela, DJ Premier, Dimitri from Paris, Joey Negro, Kon, RZA, Laurent Garnier, Black Coffee, DJ Shadow, David Rodigan and John Morales among many others, BBE Music looks to the future, celebrating its rich heritage while continuing to release a bounty of fresh titles.

The label’s most recent projects include an expansive reissue series from pioneering Nigerian label Tabansi, new imprint ‘Batakari’ in association with Boddhi Satva and the critically acclaimed ‘J Jazz’ Japanese Jazz multi-album project, not to mention the recent landmark 500th label release: a brand new version of 'Barely Breaking Even', featuring Leroy Burgess, Patrick Adams and Louie Vega.

In 2021 BBE Music is celebrating its 25th anniversary. To mark this milestone, the label is offering up some special projects, from the 20th Anniversary edition of J Dilla’s ‘Welcome 2 Detroit’, through David Bowie tribute album ‘Modern Love’, to a special new ‘Worldwide’ compilation from old friend Gilles Peterson. BBE Music will also be looking to the future with more exciting original artist projects, plus merch collaborations events and more...
