That is too, cool, you hear that, style, that music, is so, this is beautiful art

Tony Momrelle, one of the UK’s most significant and exciting soulful singer-songwriters, is back with a euphoric new single delivering the message, loud and colourfully clear, that this, entirely, is his time.

Fly is Momrelle and Momrelle alone. Where oft before the artist has aligned his incredible talents to the interests of others, here he cuts through with his own personal agenda built upon the funky cut ‘n’ thrust of snappy breakbeats and a soaring promise of love and life without bounds.  It’s a soulful sonic boom.

Reel People’s bonus deep soul-house remix is also included, which blends layers of lush synths and pads to sweet 4-4 drums for an ultra-tasteful house alternative.

Tony Momrelle has been a student of music since the age of eight. One of the UK soul scene’s finest contemporary exports, he has worked with everyone from Whitney Houston to Sade, fronted legendary band Incognito for over 10 years, and continued to steer Reel People alongside Oli Lazarus. His new EP follows a long line of quality Reel People Music releases including Amazing, Star, Golden Lady and Time, but this is his first solo venture for the imprint.


A fully immersive new single preceding a longer, seven-track due next month, Fly signals the beginning of some serious new Momrelle momentum.  He’s ready for take-off....

BBE Music celebrates its 25th year of Barely Breaking Even with 'Staff Selections 2021', a bumper pack of musical highlights from the last 12 months, as chosen by the label team themselves.

In another year dominated by uncertainty, crippling manufacturing delays and a global shipping crisis, BBE Music has managed to get a surprising amount of music out into the world during 2021, even if none of the staff are entirely sure exactly how they did it.

The last year has seen multiple reissues in DJ Amir's continued exploration of Detroit's iconic Strata Records, a benchmark 20th anniversary box set and book celebrating J Dilla's 'Welcome 2 Detroit', acclaimed David Bowie tribute album 'Modern Love', more contemporary Afro-centric cuts on BBE's sister label Batakari Music, and fresh original material from MF Robots, Sean Khan and Sons of the Sun.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy this selection of almost 40 tracks, featuring an exclusive reimagining of Beatchild and Justin Nozuka's 'The Only Difference' crafted by BBE artist and staffer, Sumsuch.

We wouldn't still be here after 25 years if it wasn't for your support and encouragement, so we'd like to extend our eternal thanks to you all, whether you've bought a record, attended a gig or streamed a song of ours over the last quarter century. You're a vital part of the BBE story and we look forward to journeying on with you, into 2022 and beyond.

Stay safe, and thank you all once again, from all of us.

A little over a year ago I was involved with someone. A short-lived romance, I found myself falling into a usual cycle of initial infatuation, a halfway commitment, and an eventual falling out. I had always attributed failed relationships to my pursuit of music. That my craft and career were the root causes of my issues. But a little over a year ago, I finally asked myself why. Why was I the constant factor in these situations? I spoke with family and friends at length during a trip back home to Sacramento, CA. A trip that forced me to take an honest look at myself and realize how much of a work in progress I was/still am, and it ultimately changed my outlook and approach to love. And well...I’d like to share with you what was found. An introspective and observational piece entitled ALLISON. A chance for me to share my truths, and the truths of some of the people I know.

One more in my Roy Ayers edit series. I could go on and on with his catalog, so for now this will be the last edit. Soak it up! Extended, re-arranged, DJ-friendly in & out. Kinda sounds like a lost Jamiroquai track.

Transatlantic duo Sons of the Sun make their BBE debut with warm and soulful hip hop single ‘Underwater Dreaming,’ taken from their forthcoming self-titled album.

A tender, sensual celebration of connection and desire, ‘Underwater Dreaming’ evokes the sounds of contemporary R&B, fused with Southeast London’s signature jazz vibes. Their unique aesthetic stands out- the entire album is recorded with honest, organic musicianship, an homage to the much loved old skool sample sound, reflected back through multi-instrumentation. Sons of the Sun is a collaboration between American singer-songwriter JTronius and British producer Maverick Quest, featuring an inspired selection of luminary guests and musicians. Delivered remotely following a chance meeting on music-tech networking app ‘Brapp’, the ingenious pair sent files back and forth between Texas andSouth East London to create their shared vision for the project. Remarkably, the duo have yet to meet in person.

A respected solo artist knighted by Bootsy Collins as an official ‘funkateer,’ Berklee College graduate JTronius is an extravagant entertainer, songwriter and entrepreneur. Self-dubbed The Guvna of the Galaxy, he brings his swaggy, soulful style to all his endeavours. He has shared stages with LL Cool J, The Roots, Talib Kweli, Pharrell, Busta Rhymes and Damian Marley and is an accomplished actor, appearing in a number of successful Hollywood feature films.

Genre-blending record producer and multi-instrumentalist Maverick Quest is a coveted artist with 20 years of experience in the music industry. He grew up immersed in the aesthetic of hip hop, but in an environment where flipping loops from vinyl was standard, developing his musicianship to create his own sounds was radical, a move that paved the way for his signature sonic. Maverick Quest has previously performed with and produced for Guru, Grandmaster Flash, Ice T, Ibibio Sound Machine, Solo Rosa and Portico Quartet to name but a few and is firmly rooted in the epicentre of the burgeoning South East London jazz movement.

Mixed by Grammy-nominated Clinton “Ubiquity” McCreery and mastered at Grammy-awarded studio The Carvery, ‘Underwater Dreaming’ features celebrated musicians such as Scottish Group ‘The Brass Cats’, Washington DC’s Reginald Payne (aka Bass Negus), with Philly neo-soul stalwart and Lauryn Hill, Bilal collaborator Dai Miyazaki. Accompanied by an official video by Nathalie Gordon, the debut single ‘Underwater Dreaming’ from Sons of the Sun offers an enticing first taste of what’s to come from this exciting new musical partnership.
