Liverpudlian producer Lucent joins forces with legendary Bristolian MC Buggsy for a blistering debut on Durkle Disco.

With past releases for Trouble & Bass, Tumble Audio, 877 and Hot Cakes, Lucent has already turned plenty of heads in both the UK Funky and wider Bass Music worlds.

This inaugural effort for Durkle Disco continues that theme, drawing elements from both sounds with hard carnival-ready drums, lazer-cut bleeps, floor-shaking bass and a touch of early-rave nostalgia courtesy of a signature vocal sample from The Ratpack’s MC Everson Allen.

As is standard for a Durkle Disco release, an MC vocal takes centre stage - and Lucent goes high, drafting in legendary Bristol MC and fellow Durkle debutant, Buggsy.

From tearing up the seminal Sidewinder raves as a teen, to working with the cream of his hometown’s world-renowned electronic music scenes and, most recently, contributing a version of Jammz & Jack Dat’s notorious ‘French Montana Riddim’; Buggsy is a true grime original. His trademark rapid-fire flow lights up Lucent’s instrumental, breaking down the origins of the Bristol grime scene he helped birth.

An already powerful combination is rounded off with a monster remix from UKG royalty Zed Bias, returning to Durkle for the first time since his 2014 remix of Lamont’s ‘Far Away’. His swinging 2-step flip takes ‘Originate’ to a deeper, darker place, with an outrageous rumbling baseline ensuring none of the raucous energy of the original is lost.

Durkle Disco is a Bristol-based record label with bass at its very core. First conceived in 2011 as a place where grime, garage, hip-hop and dubstep could combine and intertwine - with just as much attention paid to the MCs as the producers - the label has since evolved to become a natural home for the new strains of instrumental bass-driven music coming from Bristol’s next unstoppable wave of production talent.

Lamont, OH91, Otik, Lemzly Dale, Daffy & Gundam are just some of the producers to have released with the label in the past. As a mark of the respect Durkle holds within the music world, the label’s tracks have undergone the remix treatment from some of bass-driven music’s biggest names. Zed Bias, Kahn, Starkey, Hi5Ghost & Caski have all given some of the imprint’s finest moments their own individual twist.

With recent releases from Mani Festo, Unkey, Young H, Vern & Milla, and Denham Audio, the only Disco worth doing your thing at this year is the Durkle one…
