Vinyl obsessive, renowned DJ and talented producer, Kon knows a thing or two about good music. Dubbed "King of the Edits" by Boiler Room, Kon is perhaps best known for his partnership with fellow Boston DJ Amir, which spawned 'Off Track', surely the most influential compilation series of recent years. Counting Gilles Peterson, Mark Ronson & Lord Finesse among his fans, Kon is well established as a 'go-to-guy' for countless DJs across the world looking for fresh, off-kilter sounds.

His latest project 'Kon & The Gang' is a collection of exclusive, unreleased music from Kon and a variety of his current favourite artists including Truccy, Eli Escobar, Bosq & Seven Davis Jr. Representing the new wave of distinctive and original disco-influenced music which has grown out of the 'edit' scene, Kon & The Gang showcases several 'artists to watch' as this dynamic movement builds momentum. A mixture of effortlessly cool, slow slung disco / boogie and energetic dance-floor gems, 'Kon & The Gang' is sure to delight fans of soulful music old and new.

"Kon & the Gang: a play on words which led to my productions involving some friends as live session players, which then became an idea for this compilation, for which I've asked a few of my producer / DJ friends to contribute original tracks. I'd like to thank them all for doing so. I hope you enjoy them!" - Kon (August 2016)

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...
