[ RADIO / MIXES ]

Over the last year or two, there are a handful of independent labels that have become our "go-tos" for UK techno and bass experiments: Manchester's Left, Right & Centre is one of them. 

They might only have four releases under their belt, after putting on parties in the city previously, but they've already built up a strong reputation through their carefully curated VAs, which have seen contributions from the likes of Alexis, Kessler, Porter Brook and Henzo.

DJ and producer Korzi is one of the two minds behind the imprint and party. Having charted releases for labels like Move, Tommy Club/Playtest, Sound Freq and Footslog, Korzi recently stepped up to the plate for the first time on LR&C, to explore raw, chugging sounds around the 100BPM mark. Titled 'Terra Preta', the record showcased his evolution as a producer and a sonic terrain he's going to be exploring much more of in the future.

Off the back of the release, which came out in April, we invited Korzi to take the reigns for this week's 'Shine A Light On' mix, which he does in fine fashion with a selection of slow, sparse bass and rhythm mutations.

Crack Mix 480: Korzi

Rinse FM: Cozi w/ Korzi (100% Production Mix) - 13 December 2022

Making his release debut in 2015, Korzi's artistic journey so far has experienced many chapters with his chameleon-like approach to production. Originally from Birmingham, Korzi is now based in Manchester and has been making his mark within the UK bass scene, with a focus on raw, low-end delicacies. Describing the first few years of his production output as 'finding his feet' through self-releasing records, it was from 2020 that Korzi felt more confident with his style and the direction he was heading in - landing his debut release on the legendary Swamp 81 imprint last year. In March 2018, Korzi launched the party series Left, Right & Centre alongside Connor Cooper in Manchester which has booked the likes of Rhyw, Bruce, Ploy, Hodge, Beneath, re:ni, Roza Terenzi and DJ Lag to name a few. 

In 2020, the event evolved into a label with the first release being a compilation showcasing the sounds and style to be expected on the imprint with contributions from Henzo, Josh Scott, Heritage & Delo and Korzi himself. The label now has nine releases on it, with three compilations and solo EPs from DR MYSTERY, Pluralist, Croft, Small Crab, and Henzo. With Left, Right & Centre acting as a platform for Korzi and Connor to showcase other artists from Manchester and beyond, Korzi had never planned to centre himself within that. To cater for his own releases, last year Korzi launched another imprint, Bone Idle, which will focus on his own productions and is focused on 'club-ready tackle, free from all boundaries', with the second EP released last week. 

Speaking about the mix, Korzi says, "for this mix I decided to throw myself a curveball and totally let loose in what I just like to call gun-finger Techno. 

I wanted to put together a mix that consistently carries a turbo energy but has slightly abrasive with lots of broken drum patterns, stop-start headturners and moments of sheer tension. 

Through out this mix theres hints of rhythmic percussion, breaks, build build ups, huge drops and nods to the whole spectrum of bass music. The tracklist also includes an announcement of two forthcoming pieces of music from myself, a brand new one coming out on Left, Right & Centre from Henzo and the usual celebration of tunes sent over by some of my extremely talented friends that are really flying the flag for our sound."
