Bruvnors Got Beatz

Alex P and Chris Spillman played football and were friends a long time before they came
together and formed Bruvnors.
Chris had been asking Alex to come in the studio with him for some time. The turning point
was when Chris sent some of his work to Alex, he liked what he heard and when they got
together in the studio found they had many of the same traits and work ethics. Now they
have the perfect working relationship complementing each other and have come up with a
unique sound.
Expect to hear a lot more from the Bruvnors



Bass Generator Records label and shop have been an institution since the scene’s beginning.

The first release on the label was back in 1990, then in 1993 with the huge selling release “The Event” plus help from Scott Brown’s early releases (Lord of Hardcore/Genetik), Bass Generator Records was quickly established as a major influence throughout the rave scene, especially in Scotland.

The label went on to release over 47 singles, distributed internationally, up to 1997.

Bass Generator opened a store in Newcastle in 1993, then in Edinburgh in 1995, both of which no longer exist.

Bass Generator Records went on to running one of the world’s biggest used vinyl record stores on Ebay in the mid 00′s.

Now based in central Scotland with a new team behind the scenes.
Bass Generator Records now has three sister labels:-
* BASS GENERATOR RECORDS DIGITAL
* HARDBOX RECORDS
* DE:FUZED DIGITAL – coming soon 2014

We also have been running the best online radio station 24/7 in the UK for the last 3 years, which has helped launch the career’s of some of the UK’s best up and coming artists as well as helped to spawn new events and record labels.

Whilst the Bass Generator Records shops may have gone we now have an online store and our Rave/Festival Essentials stall which attends most events and is up and down the whole of the UK every week.
We also have a massive stock of all our own clothing which no other label does and can be sent out next day for quick turnaround.

One of the main differences between the past and the current Bass Generator Records is the many other styles and genres that is now covered between all 4 labels, bringing the label right up to date with what is current in the scene. Our artists and producers come from all over the world as well as the UK and Ireland.

The current team work tirelessly to make sure that everything is in order and running as smooth as can be. And can also be found on nights out in and around the merchandise stall having fun.

BASS GENERATOR RECORDS SINCE 1990!

The label was established in 2018 as a means to release the back catalogue of renowned Jungle Techno label Underdog Recordings, which ran from 1993-1995. It quickly expanded from beyond the original goal and now reissues sought after, rare and classic records from the Jungle, Rave, Bleep House, Techno and Jungle Techno genres.

The Vinyl Fanatiks aim is to track down and work with the original artists from the early 1990’s, to reissue their music on vinyl only, and to support the record hunters and vinyl diggers from around the world with quality pressings and superb mastering; a way to show respect and share the story of those that created these incredible records.

The vision is not to focus on the obvious artists of that time but to dig a little deeper and find those that came and went but their legacy still holds true to this day. Some of these producers only released one record and vanished soon after but their music still resonates into the 21st century, accumulating new audiences across the globe, far beyond the catchment of the UK pirate radios and muddy fields of 25 years ago. What happened to these artists? Its Vinyl Fanatik’s mission to find out!

Each record captures a moment in time, a vibe that was true and innocent from a period when music was far more synonymous with rebellion and anarchy than today’s finely polished productions and conformist club pop. This music itself bred on the outskirts of society, fuelled by the passion of the rave, its lineage stemming from the Acid House era of 1988. Often produced on minimal equipment, with minimal skills and knowledge, its audio blueprint transcends to new generations, a rawness that no expensive audio plug in could ever create in this present day.

Vinyl Fanatiks wants to pay homage to these young producers who forged the foundations of the multi-million pound EDM scene we have now. Each of these artists has their own tale to tell, their own memories to share. Limited by their own geographical status within the UK, they somehow still all managed to connect and influence each other, years before the internet, mobile phones and social media that we have today. But the music knew no limits and had no boundaries, transcending generations to this day.

Bringing The Experience Back To Music

Godfather’, ‘Legend’, ‘International Hero’. All accolades attributed by loving fans Worldwide to the DJ, Producer and scene pioneer known as ‘Slipmatt’. For over three decades, this dubplate diamond has been changing the game, staying on the pulse and keeping ahead of the curve, packing dancefloors and selling out clubs long before it was cool and still does so to this very day.
  
Having produced a ton of successful singles and compiled a number of hit selling mix albums under his ‘Slipmatt’ alias for some of the World’s most respected record labels including United Dance and Ministry Of Sound, ‘Slipmatt’ is also one of the masterminds behind legendary production outfit SL2 (along with Lime and MC Jay), the visionaries responsible for the chart smashing anthems ‘On A Ragga Tip’ & ‘Way In My Brain’ among many others on the iconic label XL Recordings, home to legendary acts such as ‘The Prodigy’, ‘Basement Jaxx’; and ‘Adele’. 

‘On A Ragga Tip’ is presently enjoying a resurgence of popularity as it goes on the current Virgin Media TV ad as part of their Un-Limiting adverts which includes the new ‘On A Ragga Tip’ Un-Limiting Remix, which has equally proved as popular as ever with dancefloors around the globe and this year alone is scheduled  to collaborate in the studio with Shades Of Rhythm, Andy Galea of Sol Brothers, Alex P, Awesome 3, Alexis Raphael, Sooney and, his good friend DJ Lime with some brand new SL2 releases also in the pipeline.

‘Slipmatt’ also repeatedly continues to play across the globe in the USA, Asia, Australia, Europe and every corner of his native UK for a string of well recognised and well attended club promotions, festivals and events. He’s no stranger to a Festival or two either playing at leading big top gigs such as Glastonbury, Boomtown and We Are Festival and there has also been and continues to be multiple overseas visits to Ibiza where Slipmatt still to this day enjoys regular return trips to the White Isle’s most infamous hot spots to play such as Eden, Es Paradis and Benimussa Park (The Zoo) 

His media outreach is quite noteworthy also, having started RAW FM, been a resident on Kiss FM, a regular in M8 Magazine and Mixmag, featured in the illustrious DJ Magazine Top 100, he’s been on BBC television a number of times including the famous chart show ‘Top Of The Pops’, runs two of his own popular Radio shows and Podcasts ‘World Of Rave’ and ‘Slip’s House’ and additionally, has won a multitude of awards, including that of ‘Best DJ’ and ‘Best Producer’ awarded by some of the industries most respected bodies such as Kiss FM and EHM.

Not one to ever slow down or fall behind and always keeping himself fresh and relevant, this dancefloor don has been focusing lately on the biggest and best house beats, which has led him to an already extraordinarily busy 2020. Add to that his upcoming book “My Story (and How I Became a World Class DJ)”, which is set to be a smash hit amongst rave fanatics the World over later this year and with over a hundred gigs booked for 2020 already (mid-Feb), there are no signs of this crowd pleasing international artist slowing down any time soon. 

Godfather Of Rave and still keeping it fresh? Definitely.
