I recently created a remake of Benga's classic tune Skank. Skank is such a seminal track that has stood the test of time and continues to slap wherever it gets played.

Benga used Music 2000 as a crucial tool in his early music production process. The PlayStation video game offered a wide range of virtual instruments and sound effects, which he used to experiment with different sounds and ideas. The accessibility and creativity offered by Music 2000 allowed him to develop his own unique style, characterised by heavy basslines, intricate rhythms, and futuristic soundscapes.

In this VIP, I went to great lengths to find and recreate the original samples used in the track. This approach has allowed me to bring a new level of authenticity and respect to Benga's classic sound.

Before my next EP lands in May, I'm letting this one out of the vaults. 

Bouncy grime instrumental entitled 'Slug' - had some sick support on this one already.

Raybee made his second appearance on the label with his debut single '1undred' in February 2024. It was a huge hit with the likes of Sicaria ringing it out for months in her sets at the likes of Coachella.

The skippy drum work makes this VIP a more than worthy addition to celebrate 7 years of the label.

Vortex

This track combines aggressive hip-hop and rap elements with powerful 808 bass hits. The extremely fast tempo of 300 BPM creates an intense, energetic atmosphere. The repetitive “trmpo trmpo” sounds emphasize the beat and add a raw, rhythmic texture. It’s designed to hype up the listener with its driving force and vibrant rhythm. Perfect for fast-paced, high-energy performances or workouts.

Another of 1Forty’s local finds in its home of Leeds is Hayz. Whilst Leeds has had a Grime scene that has been quietly bubbling away for a few years on the MC front, there has been very few 140 producers come through. Hayz is hellbent on changing that now he is sat on the music ready to release. 

Whilst Leeds has had a Grime scene that has been quietly bubbling away for a few years on the MC front, there have been very few 140 producers who come through. Hayz was hellbent on changing that since landing on the 1Forty radar and has established that since his label debut with ‘Hightop’ in September 2019 and the VIP that followed. His debut EP landed on Rapture 4D’s critically acclaimed Plasma Abuse label in 2020, before leading on to what some named as a contender for EP of the year alongside NothingNice and Logan, with the London City Warlord Riko Dan on the lead track, which released on Durkle Disco in February 2021. His most recent was his biggest release to date at the end of the year producing Armour & Roachees ‘Link With Dem’.
