Shivum Sharma x Notion Exclusive Mix

London-based Irish producer Bruk Rogers aka Cian McCann (Zero T/Zero Tolerance/Searchlight) signs to Brighton-stable Tru Thoughts and shares new single “LDN 313”, a sonic clash between the cities of London (LDN) and Detroit (area code 313). 

“LDN 313” combines London beats and basslines centred in the genres of bruk/broken beat and grime –  layered with Detroit techno stabs and pads, influenced by the soundscapes of the iconic Mad Mike (Underground Resistance). “There's an obvious nod to Marc Mac's Nu Era productions in the synth parts also” Bruk Rogers added. 

The Bruk Rogers alias was born out of Cian’s long-held love of the broken beat genre, and its recent resurgence spearheaded by labels such as Tru Thoughts, Rhythm Section International, Selectors Assemble and Eglo Records. Aesthetically and eponymously influenced by watching endless reruns of the 70s sci-fi adventure series Buck Rogers, the mischievous alias was coined with the help of a friend. “My older brothers wanted to call me Twiki – so it’s all a bit of good fun and kitsch nostalgia!” Cian says.

Rewinding 20+ years from now; Cian (as Zero Tolerance) had his first jungle tracks signed to 4hero’s Reinforced Records and was exposed to the heart of the burgeoning broken beat scene just by hanging out at their Dollis Hill studio. He was also highly influenced by going to CoOp at Plastic People and frequenting Jazz:Refreshed at MauMau Bar.
 
Back to the recent present: Cian was booked to play a DJ set at the ‘virtual’ We Out Here Festival in 2021 and decided to play a bruk set. He had so much fun that he decided to start making some bruk beats straight afterward. Debut releases on Afronaut & Mark Force’s CoOperation label have been very well received, with wide-ranging support from BBC 6Music, Gilles Peterson, Jazz FM, Spotify Japan and many more. He has also done some remix work for Kid Fonque’s Stay True, CoOperation and Tru Thoughts.

Cian is also a member of the jazz-soul duo Searchlight alongside fellow Irish producer Dominic Purcell (Beat 2), Their self-titled debut album featuring the likes of Children of Zeus collaborator [ K S R ] recently dropped on legendary Goldie’s Fallen Tree 1hundred label and has seen heavy support from tastemakers Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson and Benji B, as well as being named Huey Morgan’s (BBC 6Music) Record of the Week. 

Joining Tru Thoughts in 2022, Cian’s first introduction on the label was via a DnB remix for soul sister duo MELONYX’s “Energy”, under his Zero T moniker. Bruk Rogers enters a new intergalactic chapter partnering with Tru Thoughts, a label renowned for championing futuristic broken beat talent (WheelUP, Lanu, Jonny Faith, Afronaut – to name a few). Expect a lot more beats from the 25th century for the foreseeable future, from this sonic astronaut and adventure hero.

Exclusive Premiere: Bruk Rogers "LDN 313" (Forthcoming on Tru Thoughts)

Premiere 2 ! This time we bring you fire music from the new Allan Byallo EP, track titled "Reflect, Rotate" dropping soon on Full Bleed Sound.    

Born and raised in LA, musically seasoned in San Francisco, and now residing in Berlin, Byallo’s DJ career took him all over the world, and through a steady education of electronic music genres. Since retiring from the nightlife, Byallo now devotes all of his musical energy into perfecting his production and mixing skills, immersing himself in analog synths and releasing jazz-infused house and broken beat from his home studio, dubbed “The Secret Button”. All the tunes coming out of the room are strictly self-released on his own Full Bleed label, and reflect his obsessive levels of attention to detail and quality.

“Fill Light Shine” showcases two of the finest and most sophisticated tracks in Byallo's almost 20
year-strong discography. Drawing inspiration from all his influences throughout the years, this release sees Alland pay a deeper tribute to the genre that originally ignited his passion for music: Jazz. The EP features lush Rhodes chords, melodic Wurli licks, and an abundance of Moog synth sounds, taking the listener on quite the soulful and energetic journey. The tracks, "Karma Beach" and "Reflect, Rotate", are highly personal pieces, the former being inspired by a secluded strip of coastline in Zadar where Byallo found peace and the latter being a tribute to overcoming his own challenges of repeating self-defeating patterns.

Bump it on the sound system, on the airwaves, in the club, in your headphones, this transcendent EP is a peak in Alland Byallo’s artistic career and an epic document of his musical journey.

[PREMIERE] Alland Byallo - Reflect, Rotate

FLOATING POINTS 'LOVE ME LIKE THIS' (NONSENSE DUB) edit

I won’t be able to say too much about Alloy as it is a project from the past from a member of my favorite band coming from Toronto. If you go look for my Boiler Room Brussels session on Youtube, it is the first track I play and I might give you a clue, listen close.  You have no idea how many times I’ve been asked for the track id of this tune.

“My Friends Make Music Too" is a collaboration between Serato and Lefto dropping on Valentine's day (February 14).  It contains dancefloor ready tracks for deejays who don’t play the obvious bangers.  
All productions are exclusive to this project and I am really happy I can share my friends' great productions with you.

LTGL is one of our local producers, with his productions being played by The Gaslamp Killer, J.Rocc and many others, I had to add an exclusive track from this young cat.

LTGL - Frost

Mono/Poly’s tune was originally for an emcee but never got used until recently on his new project “The Union EP" with singer Alyss.  The version on this Serato record is different, instrumental and a real banger.
