BRUK BEATS | Broken Beats and Treats

Following on from the recent LCSM remix EP, CoOp Presents continue with more certified bruk heat for 2021 - this one seeing the return of EVM128 and an all-new EP entitled ‘Dance Don’t Sleep’. Some sound advice.

A core-member of the Selectors Assemble crew, EVM128 is also co-label boss of the Dance Regular imprint and has had releases in the past on labels such as BBE, Studio Rockers, Local Talk, Rhythm Section, Wah Wah 45s and Tru Thoughts, amongst others.

As well as being nice behind the boards, he's an amazing Selector, playing regularly on the crew's Worldwide FM show, as well as Netil Radio monthly and past plays for Boiler Room and Dimensions Festival, with his eclectic blends of bruk, soul, jazz, house, garage, hip hop, ragga, afrobeat, UK funky and bass music.

EVM previously featured on the Selectors Assemble EPs - the track ‘Gamma Riddim’ in particular is still being rinsed in dances a few years later. His last release 'Bun Dat' appeared on the label's first compilation, ‘Plug One’, released late in 2020 and kicked off the year with a set of remixes of the same track.

‘Dance Don’t Sleep’ begins with the title track, setting off with Detroit-esque pads and JA clash samples, before a moderate-paced brukbeat kicks in accompanied by some squelchy synths and some sneaky breaks. Next is ‘Tell Me’ featuring the sweet soulful talents of Natalie May atop a percussive groove, gliding keys and bleeps. ‘UK Brukers’ follows (a play on UK Rockers), and it’s more bruk-step laced with ragga samples and a deep sub riding throughout, then into ‘Jazz Drumz’, which provides what it says on the tin - shuffling kits ride alongside piano and rhodes, all with EVM’s unique flavour. We close out with ‘Desert Island Bruk’; an off-kilter riddim with a slight UK Funky feel, completing a very dope 5-tracks that should ensure that you’re dancing, not sleeping.

As with the previous CoOp Presents release, this digital EP is again accompanied by some mind-blowing artwork by Mo Fingaz & Bee Graphics for Blood, presenting another genius part of the new CoOp universe.

With monthly releases stacked up for the rest of 2021, expect plenty more goodness to come from the CoOp Presents label imminently. Watch we work.

EVM128 - UK Brukers

PRE-ORDER: https://bfan.link/masters-at-work-harvey-sutherland

At the vanguard of Melbourne's bustling underground music scene you’ll find Surprise Chef. A band very much on the rise, who with two exceptional albums under their belts, are picking up a rapidly swelling fanbase across the world. Working out of the College of Knowledge stable (their home / studio / record label namesake), the band’s take on instrumental cinematic soul and funk has connected with listeners across multiple scenes and genres. Their intoxicatingly laidback sound, which pairs expertly crafted hooks with a seriously funky, watertight rhythm section, has earned them a wide appeal and made their tracks ripe for interpretation.

When floating ideas for potential remixers, two names came to the fore, Masters At Work and Harvey Sutherland. MAW have a long history with Mr Bongo having remixed the Brit-funk classic ‘Dancing In Outer Space’ by Atmosfear for the label in 1997, and releasing the original track, ‘Brazilian Beat’ in 2000. With their studio collaboration now back in full swing, it was the perfect time to inject the MAW magic back into the label.

They picked ‘Crayfish Caper’ from the band’s first album ‘All News Is Good News’ as their choice of track to remix. The ’Nuyorican Broken Remix' sees MAW stepping into their Nuyorican Soul guise. A Latin shuffle meets an afro-beat rhythm and some very chunky broken beats, which all underpins an infectious melody constructed around the original track’s bassline. They pair this with horns and synths that add a flourish and reveal new layers as the track develops. It’s a sound that is uniquely Nuyorican Soul and a welcome return for fans of this aspect of their phenomenal output.

Various Artists  - Selectors Assemble Volume Two 
 Release Date: 23rd February 2018
Pre-Order: https://selectorsassemble.bandcamp.com/album/selectors-assemble-volume-two

Brand new year, brand new imprint. CoOp Presents is an all-new record label, founded by IG Culture and Alex Phountzi, set to focus on the depth and wealth of talent that exists within the London Bruk movement and beyond, a project which they consider to be a continuation in the same spirit of the legendary CoOp movement.

Last Summer, the CoOp Presents crew released an EP via First Word Records entitled ‘Selectors Assemble’. This was the first collective offering from a foundation comprised of UK dance music pioneers and nowadays bruk soldiers, navigating in & around the world of broken beat and beyond over the last two decades to the present day. Reinvigorated by recent Boiler Room sessions, the crew proceeded with more parties, more radio shows, and gained access to an unlimited pool of all-new sounds. The squad were primed and ready to move forwards from the famed days of the Plastic People dances, and further explore the evolution of their sound.

Selectors Assemble exists as an umbrella to showcase talent from originators and newcomers alike, transcending genres and geographics. Over the summer, more members were introduced to the clique, and it was clear there was much more work to be done. So we proceed. 
Setting it off, we bring you ‘Selectors Assemble Volume Two’.
The first six-track selection from the stable for 2018. 

James Rudie opens the selection with ‘Port Funk’, a soulful 4/4 stomper, adrift with jazz licks and weighty bassline. Danvers up next with ‘My Nina’, a deep vibesy breakbeat opener that chops away, flipping its groove several times through the track. EVM128 steps up & steps in with the no-messin’ tough tribal bounce of the ‘Gamma Riddim’ next. Cengiz opens up the flipside of the plate with some straight up bruk-funk that rides ‘On On On’. Entekenters the dance with a twisted swagger and next level sonics on ‘Robbery’, ticking numerous groove boxes, before we approach the final cut from N15’s own Miraa May, on the soulful flex of
‘I Don’t Want Ya (Didi)’. The rub on this last one coming courtesy of label founders, NameBrandSound aka IG Culture and Alex Phountzi.

Selectors Assemble appear on rotation monthly on Worldwide FM, as well as numerous other shows and dances individually, including upcoming parties at The Jazz Cafe, and the formation of a new base, The Flex Space, a multi purpose warehouse space in East London. The movement is only destined to grow. The stage for 2018 is set. Get involved.
