Off the back of the label's most successful funky release this year 'Pressure Dip' (taken from 1FFNG006) DJ Ayy Den & Murder He Wrote went away and cooked up a VIP, taking its original underlying weighty bassline and spicing it up with a 09' Funky House influenced string melody with some extra low-end tweaks for good measure.

DJ Ayy Den’s journey began in Canada. Growing up surrounded by a healthy mix of hip-hop, reggae, dancehall and soul music. These early influences combined with the fresh UK sounds of Funky, Garage, and Dubstep making their way across the ocean led to Ayy Den's move from avid listener to radio host, DJ, and promoter - co-hosting intimate after-hours shows for a wide selection of international acts passing through British Columbia. Now based in Manchester, UK her eclectic bass-led DJ Sets taking in Jersey Club, Funky and beyond are rapidly gaining plaudits, already featuring in Trench and The Face Magazine and on some of the UK’s best radio stations including Rinse FM, NTS, SWU and Reprezent.

Blending elements of Broken Beat, UK Garage, Soca and House into his own off-kilter take on bass music, Murder He Wrote’s playful productions and edits have been destroying clubs worldwide. Originally breaking out via a flurry of releases on the Roska Kicks & Snares imprint, MHW’s tracks have gained heavy support from a diverse range of dance music's most respected tastemakers including Mary Anne Hobbs, DJ EZ, Gilles Peterson, Redlight and Jamz Supernova. Working across 3 decks, his eclectic, low-end focused DJ sets have seen him land guest mixes on BBC Radio 1, Boiler Room, NTS, Rinse FM and BBC 6Music - alongside a touring schedule that’s taken in clubs and festivals around the world including Fabric, Ministry Of Sound and Outlook.

Highlights of a busy 2019 include a Boiler Room debut, a production on Fox’s debut album ‘Juice Flow’ on Swing Ting (one of Mixmag’s albums of the year), the heavily supported single ‘Worthwhile’ ft. Logan making the A-List on Rinse FM and Spotify’s 'New Music Friday’, and DJ sets across Europe, North America and Australia. 2020 saw the release of two collaborations with UK Funky legend Roska, official remixes for Afro B, T-Pain, Zed Bias and Children Of Zeus plus an eclectic run of singles on MHW’s own Rhythm Athletic imprint - amassing over a half a million Spotify streams and support across BBC Radio 1, 1Xtra, NTS and 6Music.

DJ Ayy Den x Murder He Wrote - Pressure Dip VIP [Free DL]

4 jungle/breaks inspired tracks from across the last 3 years. Rinse is a dodgy one from the infamous stolen laptop incident, Mountain was inspired by Tuesday nights in Stokes Croft, Line of Defence by a ridiculous Samurai Breaks set and Kiwi by the last 10 minutes of Leon Vynehall at Trinity. Hope you like em xx
