For May 2023 Carhartt WIP Radio welcomes @sneakersocialclub, an independent label which began in 2011 and is run by Jamie Russell aka @lowendactivist. In addition to being a producer and DJ, Russell also helms a number of other imprints, including BRUK, Low End Activism, @artefaxrecords, and @hypercolourrecords – which he co-runs with DJ & producer @alexhypercolour.
 
Although Sneaker Social Club’s name comes from Russell’s love of sneakers, its output is much more aligned with the UK hardcore continuum, echoing everything from jungle and breaks, to early 2000s grime and dubstep.
 
For this show, Russell has gone through the label’s back catalogs, putting together a mix with his favorite tracks released on the imprint so far.  As ever, the mix is accompanied by an interview, where Russell discusses his many different imprints and aliases, why he relishes the process of production over DJing, and being inspired by the rhythm of a washing machine.
