Banana Club is without doubt one of the top new labels on the Breakbeat scene today. Led by the young and highly prolific Cadiz artist, FM-3, it was set up in 2020 with a strong identity and powerful, effective dancefloor grooves inspired by English bassline and 2step/garage and a touch of funk. On this first vinyl release by the label, entitled [BAN001] “Funky Beats”, FM-3 kicks off his musical discourse with “One for Me”, a track which showcases the characteristic quality and forcefulness of his groove. This is followed by the album’s eponymous track “Funky Beats”, a collaboration with the multiple Spanish and World Scratching Champion, Jose Rodriguez, who dazzles with a number of superb passages in which improvisation and funk come to the fore. The B-side opens with “Panorama”, featuring Örak. This fascinating, highly-experimental track offers a fusion of breaks and tech house and an elegant acid line which acts as a common thread and brings cohesion to the whole idea. The record closes, as you would expect, with a collaboration with Bowser, another of the label’s regular artists, entitled “Bubbling”. A classic bassline dancefloor filler, it’ll take you back to the best tracks of the late nineties and early noughties. The classic black 12”, mastered and cut by Simon, a veteran sound engineer at the Exchange Vinyl in London, has achieved a sound which is quite simply brutal.

We've been insanely hyped here at Punks Towers since we completed this new comp with one of our favourite artists.
Globe trotting bad man, official DJ of Street League Skateboarding, ex pro snowboarder, adventurer, father and stalwart OG of the scene, we're proud to introduce Nixon as the latest artist in our Selection series.
Nixon cut his teeth in the Blue Note era of Drum & Bass which is a testament to the authentic sound that he consistently delivers. You can hear the influences of early Metalheadz, Good Looking Records and Moving Shadow echoing through his productions.
Unmatched in his ability to create a nostalgic hands in the air dance floor moment, the Basement Selection is a melting pot of fresh but familiar mid tempo beats, masterfully woven together and presented in the progressive fashion we've all come to love from Nixon.
This 28 track leviathan features 6 new Nixon tracks, exclusive beats from Stanton Warriors, Cause & Affect, Mafia Kiss, Hypho & Dread Mc, Rico Tubbs, Figures Of Eighty, Isenberg and some amazing licences from the likes of Jakwob, Fish and Guau.
The Basement Selection is the accumulation of over 20 years of influence from the UK jungle scene, lovingly wrapped into a fresh package that is truly 2018.
