BRUK BEATS | Broken Beats and Treats

EVM 128 - Bun Dat (Original)

Selectors Assemble bring you yet another fantastic premiere this month - this time a track from WheelUP's debut album titled 'Good Love' which is coming out this Friday on Tru Thoughts records (PRE-ORDER on Bandcamp). On this track titled 'Rise Above' WheelUP (Danny Wheeler) collaborates with the Drum & Bass duo Pola & Bryson, who also go by their alter ego Abacus.  One for the bruk heads for sure!

‘Good Love’ is the debut album from WheelUP. In the words of the artist: “Good Love is something that I generally want to see in the world. This LP is my pursuit of broken beat excellence”. ‘Good Love’ is an amalgamation of WheelUP’s history and success, a record that places him alongside legends within the scene such as IG Culture and Marc Mac, as well as contemporaries EVM128 and Neue Grafik. “The future is not yet defined, but it is currently called broken beat, bruk or the West London Sound”, WheelUP preaches.

Release Text:
Sofatalk & XL Regular have come up with a wonderful jazzy EP for Outplay. Filled with warm chords and broken house beats. Italy’s Piero Paolinelli and Alessandro Giacchi are the newest addition to our Outplay family. They have released music previously on Omena, ANMA, Cognitiva Records (Sofatalk’s own label), INI Movement, Nómada and Monologues. 

Their EP for Outplay is called Afro Quarters EP and contains 4 electronic jazz funk infused house tracks and make for a perfect testimony of their musicianship.

Rumble Strip kicks off with broken beats turning into a 4x4 house beat filled with percussion, dreamy keyboard licks and sultry vocals to underline the floaty vibe. The title track, Afro Quarters, is up next pushing us further into their signature jazz infused broken beat house style. With the funky bassline and the stabby keys it’s hard not to move. Throw in tastefully done flute and Rhodes solos for the mature sound they’re known for.

The third piece is called Easy and contrary to its name it’s not as chilled out as you’d think. It’s incredibly groovy, with heavy staccato bass and keys, while keeping the dreamed out jazzy chords to balance it out. It makes us think of the masterful work of Kaidi Tatham. “On The Run” concludes the EP and continues the vibe displayed throughout the release filled with arpeggiated and stabby keys and vocal bits.

It’s our absolute pleasure to be able release this and we are excited to share it with you!”

Broken Light

African Rhythms is Haze City's ode to AfroBeat and the amazing music that came out of Nigeria in the 1970/80's by incredible artists such as Fela Kuti, Tony Allen & Ebo Taylor.
Since its creation Afrobeat has influenced multiple genres and countless artists around the globe, with its pulsating poly rhythms and incredible musicianship.
Combining Afrobeat with Broken Beat is of course nothing new, with legends of the Bruk scene such as IG Culture & Bugz In The Attic having already done this to devastating effect.

This however, is a Haze City's humble ode to a genre he has a huge amount a love and respect for.

Amazing re rubs from Don Pascal , Sean McCabe & Cengiz

K15 'SUNBEAMS' (EGLO58)

Manchester based Sivey gets the heads down treatment for his track 'Nobody Else' by Danvers, the man who seems to be pumping non stop bangers out of his studio right now. Hot steppin' rhythms are backed up by off beat deep chords, filtered stabs and re-pitched vocal snippets from the original. Classy stuff!
