8205 is back in 2022 with two records by an absolute legend of the scene - Bizzy B! One of the best, most distinctive and fiercely independent producers of the jungle/dnb era, Bizzy’s production chops are still the stuff of legend. The tracks on these EPs aim to showcase two different but equally important sides of Bizzy’s music: one more dark and experimental, the other upfront, slamming and jungle-oriented. 

Bizzy B - “Close Your Eyes” [8205-015] features three rough, raw and experimental tracks written on Amiga back in 1993, The title track, “Close Your Eyes” features some of Bizzy’s most intense and frantic breakwork ever (which is saying a lot!), and deep, dark, melodic elements that perfectly capture the vibe of the time. On the B side, “Darken My Lines” is a more straight ahead party stormer, with frantic beats, scratch samples and mental hoover twiss-ups (not a million miles from his classic tune “Twisted Mentazm”).  Finally, “Race Of Life'' finishes the record in a very different fashion. Far from a dancefloor number, “Race” is one of Bizzy’s most understated and experimental tunes of the era, taking his usual elements and transforming them into something haunting, deep and almost ethereal sounding. Very unique, and unlike almost any other tune of the era.

"Close Your Eyes" will be for sale June 17th, 2pm UK time on https://8205.bandcamp.com, available as either coloured vinyl or more limited black vinyl, with full black and white picture sleeves. The vinyl will be available exclusively from the 8205 bandcamp, with digitals for sale separately on Bizzy’s own site.

Co-founder of the label https://soundcloud.com/collapsing-market, Louis Vial aka Eszaid discreetly imposed himself as one of the most singular producers of the young French electronic scene. 
While preserving Eszaid’s obsession for minimalist composition and rough electronic sounds of his early solo work or as Mura Oka with Sidney Gerard, his productions have lately taken an ice cold breakbeat and jungle inspirations turn on his last EP on the prestigious imprint LIES Records or on his live recording tape recently released on Métaphore Industrie (https://soundcloud.com/metaphorecollectif).

Pacing the Platform 19 w/ upsammy on NTS (30.11.23)

Back in December, I had footwork aficionado DJ Strawberry guest on the show. DJ Strawberry's approach to the genre, holds a refreshing aura within the wave of 160 and ghetto tech producers, who tend to miss the mark in the realm of footwork.
DJ Strawberry's attentive and natural approach to building intricate drum patterns, with an added flavour of hypnotic sound design, provides a new and exciting voice in the genre.

After establishing himself with an LP released on the Polish label, Outlines, DJ Strawberry will follow up with a brand-new 5 track album titled 'Beyond' dropping on March 15th. You can pre-order via Bandcamp here: https://outlineslabel.bandcamp.com/album/beyond

For the show, DJ Strawberry has put together 50 minutes of frenetic 200bpm madness. For the first 55 minutes, DJ Narkus glides through some IDM/DNB hybrids before a serene finale of dub techno.

For release number fourteen, 8205 Recordings welcomes Love Dove Jay to the label. Fans of classic darkside/jungle will no doubt be familiar with his work, as Jay released 8 killer records on a number of labels between 1993 and 1995, played at the time by DJs like Ratty, Easygroove & Donovan Badboy Smith.  

On this release, Jay has dug up two previously unheard & unreleased darkside tracks he recorded back in 1993.  Both “Dark Loving” and “Sonic Man” are prototypical examples of the darkside sound of that era: chopped amens, stompy backing beats, dark synths, classic vocal samples, and huge timestretched hoover breakdowns.

Available for preorder December 4th on http://8205.bandcamp.com, target release date December 21st
