BRUK IT UP 1

I was asked to do a remix for Rednose back in the day but didn't make the cut. DOMU beat me out!!! The original mix simmered and eventually I was asked if I wanted to do a limited pressing with new versions. Came up with the additional fast and slow mix for the 12inch.

FOURTH KIND | Omniverse Records | OMNILP05
Audition | Time Flies By | Life Cycle | Take Me To Your Sky | Peaceful Sundown, | Afterglows | Synapse | The Star Of A Story | Light Of My Soul | Sky Reprise

Well, this is different… Fourth Kind the self titled mini album on Omniverse Records. It’s hard to pinpoint a genre with records like this; produced by Marc Mac of 4hero and similar to some of the 4hero output, it defies genre and fits somewhere in-between many. The production is heavily reliant on synthesisers and vintage drum machines in places but is full of real life and organic movements, this is partly down to the signature drums played by Luke Parkhouse. The only other guest spot is filled by Nu Jazz Funker Pascal Strauss aka Luman Child who plays bass guitar on “Take Me To Your Sky” which along with “Afterglows” are the closest we get to dance tracks, in most parts a 70s fusion feel is present. The short interlude type tracks are just as important and I would go as far as to say vital to telling the story.  Moogs, Arps and Solina strings weave patterns throughout, all in all, across the 10 tracks the album is a journey of mood and emotions.  Limited Edition 180g Pressing. Released 17th September 2018.

South London producer Aeshim returns with another four-pack of beats and sounds created on his treasured Juno 6 synthesiser.

Premiere: Aeshim - Try Love Feat. Alice Higgins

Fetch some Piña Coladas will ya!? The latest EP from Bruk-pusher Danvers holds onto summer heat and will definitely fire up a room when asked to. You already know what it is - soulful vocals, warm-as keys, shufflin' percs and chopped up drum programming all executed in cooled nonchalant style. The one question that remains is... you can't let WHO know?

ANGIS 222

Michele Manzo - Burning Chrome

Michele Manzo - musician and producer who boasts international collaborations with Omar Lye-Fook, Georgia Anne Muldrow and Declaime - is the man behind the second release of Angis Music, italian label curated by DJ Samuele Pagliai. The EP presents 3 different scenarios resulting from a spontaneous live session, which reflects the multiple influences and symphonic approach of an artist with various styles. This work, inspired by the science fiction novels of William Gibson - godfather of the cyberpunk genre - opens with the song “Burning Chrome”, conceived as a nighttime escape taking you at lightening speed through the alleys of a city that is galaxies away. Continuing on to the B side we have “Chiba City Park”, where the broken beat and abstract harmonies create an ambience similar to that of those in Neuromancer. Finally, “Nebula’s Grace” is a cosmic jam where time slowly floats away in dub echoes and disappears into the depth of space.

Michele Manzo - Burning Chrome (ANGIS 222) [clips]

Fresh off the back of his lifetime achievement award at the 2019 Gilles Peterson Worldwide Awards, IG Culture and the CoOp Selectors Assemble crew are back with a killer new track from London based producer and vocalist Oliver Night. 
Having established himself as a DJ some 15 years ago, he has built a solid reputation playing across the capital, from the Tate Modern to Boiler Room. His music has been released in the past by the likes of Tony Humphries, Kerri Chandler & Seth Troxler,

This four-tracker illustrates Oliver’s diverse range of influences, from the initial inspiration of his Jamaican uncle, musician Hughie Izachaar (who worked with Lee Scratch Perry & others), through to his passion for London’s broken beat movement. Oliver’s sound epitomises tru-skool UK sound-system ethics; grounded in reggae and dub production sensibilities, whilst built solidly for the bruk and house music dances of today.

[PREMIERE] Oliver Night - Make Believe feat. BB James

Sivey - Nobody Else (Danvers Remix)

Pre-order the 12" EP or digital album: https://orcd.co/collections1

‘Collections Vol. 1’ Sampler 12” vinyl EP is available from September 6th 2019, with the CD / digital album following on October 4th.

London production hero and DJ Simbad (aka SMBD) joins forces with BBE Music for retrospective album ‘Collections Vol.1’.

Despite having produced a stellar series of remixes for the label over the years, ‘Collections Vol.1’ is Simbad’s debut on BBE as an artist, so he’s brought a few friends along for the ride.
The album features guest vocals from Lulu James, LaAerial, Steelo, Entek, Byron The Aquarius, Rae Rae, Claudia Smith and Miryam Solomon, all deftly framed by Simbad’s distinctive, warm, jazz-infused production.

Although a constant traveller, Simbad’s affinity with the UK, and in particular London, has placed him at the centre of the city’s music scene for many years now; with influences and inspirations flowing in both directions between him and his adopted hometown.

Says Simbad: “I came to London end of the 90’s with my saxophone for a summer and ended up staying. This is the place where my music journey as a DJ & a producer truly began. The culture of this island hit me hard &  deep. And because most of the stuff I’ve done is still unreleased (and I never stop making music where ever I go) I am absolutely delighted to share this collection of tunes featuring some of the most talented singers (and friends for life) that I had the pleasure to work in these last 10-15 years, recorded in my London studio sanctuary throughout the years. And hopefully even the old songs still stand the ground…”

Release : 04.06.2020

Release Info:
Our second release this year yet again explores the deep side genres of electronic music and deep house. The man SMBD aka Simbad has been on our wish list for quite a while now and we are super delighted that
It finally worked out to welcome him for a full release on our label after his contribution to the first Dampé Ep we did last year. After a string of releases on labels like Apron, Freerange and BBE there is not much introduction needed for this house veteran.

These five tracks range from soulful house to darker break beat material and ambient soundscapes. Especially the great title track “Purple Winds” is a beautiful emotional piece of music. The closing track “Nan Madol” for us is very reminiscent to early Detroit electronic music. “Piano Lick” and “Glory” are packed with soul, funk, disco and basically just good times on the dancefloor while the moody and acid break beat excursion “ – 8 – “ is winding deeper and deeper and deeper ...

Not much more needed to be said here, we will let the music speak and let you enjoy these excellent tunes!

The vibe behind the West London/broken beats/nu-jazz scene as a core member of Bugz In The Attic, Kaidi's 5ive continues the lineage of jazz, fusing it with his own twisted funk, boogie and electronica.

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...

• The DJ: 

For North London DJ, VeeSWIZZLE, music is and has always been a constant source of inspiration, joy & creative expression, providing a ‘sound’ foundation to explore her many talents. 

And she’s something of a shapeshifter; when not mixing, she can be found leading a dance session; performing as a member of a steel band collective; posing for modelling shoots; attending drumming workshops; even doing indoor climbing.

Music has also provided VeeSWIZZLE with the glue to form strong friendships – owing to the diverse range of genres appealing to her eclectic taste. The music is HER and she becomes the music with a glowing smile that’s as endearing as the music she plays.

The spectrum of music influences ranges from Hip Hop to alt Jazz, neo classical and even prog Rock. 

Like her vibrant personality, VeeSWIZZLE’s brand of Hip Hop will touch the lives of many! 

And ever since Hip Hop classic, The Show by Doug E Fresh & Slick Rick, Hip Hop became her one TRUEST love!! 

And always will be…..
