5+20 years of Straight Up Breakbeat! Since the rebirth 5 years ago, Straight Up Breakbeat releases have showcased the Finnish talent of Fanu, Resound, Dj Sofa, Aeon Four and many more, together with appearances by international artists such as Basic Rhythm, Dead Man's Chest, FFF, Loxy, Skeptical and more.

With the very 1st release on the label going back to 2000 there's soon another reason to celebrate - a full 25 years since the label's inception. To mark both milestones and to look ahead to the next quarter of a century, STATES OF ART highlights the global network of the forward-looking sound.

Released on three vinyl EPs, and followed by an extended digital compilation, the project features the very best in modern jungle & breakbeat driven dnb: DJ SOFA, FANU, FFF, MANTRA, RESOUND, TIM REAPER, AEON FOUR, BASIC RHYTHM, BLOOD TRUST, ESC & MINERAL, JESTA, OUT OF FUEL, PARK SHADOW and many more.

As if that's not enough, the pioneering graffiti artist EGS delivers a special artwork to make the physical releases add up to a three-part visual collection.

Phineus II - Mi Come Ruff (Kid Lib Remix)Out Now On Kid Lib X Phineus II - Mystery In Space

These tracks were made at different times, but they all come from the same place — the air, the sea, and the noise around me.

N2O_v3 starts calm, then breaks apart, like pressure building before release.
Eterno_Jungle_Break carries that early jungle energy I love, raw and alive.
Nuvens [170] closes it off, built from recordings of the ocean near my city, drifting like clouds.

- Backstory -
We get tonnes of great demos from new artists, so much so that we found it frustrating when we had to turn music down simply because it's unfeasible to release it all on vinyl.

02. @sebastiangee - Modulate Philosophy
03. @yaxxlr - Elsa

It’s been only a few months since I was last interviewing Sam AKA Missing. Our relationship came about via chance. Sam was working in a Bournemouth studio alongside Bernie AKA Mr. Time from Tearin Vinyl. I was already chatting to Bernie about re-releasing some of the Tearin back catalogue as Ellis Dee had introduced us. So when myself and Sam linked, I knew destiny was mapping out a new direction and a repress of Sam’s self-released 1994 banger ‘Missing - Volume One’ was needed on Vinyl Fanatiks. As things do, a natural progression continued, with conversations steering towards releasing some vinyl together. Sam already had the vehicle, Sub System Recordings, which he had released a digital only track on a few years previous. Perfect. Earlier this year we launched the vinyl arm of the label to huge success but more material was required and consequently a new story unfolded, one that Sam describes to me;

“Firstly, I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who supported the last Sub System releases which were a complete sell out” Sam Missing recounts. “That was at the start of lockdown and I am sure like many it’s been a surreal year but even with the clubs currently closed, the music must go on!  So here we are, launching the next three Sub System releases under the banner ‘Three From ‘93’.  Like most of our projects, these releases were formed through chance encounters and the very few degrees of separation that seem to exist in the jungle universe!  It wasn’t clear until the end of the project that we realised there was a very clear direction these releases had gravitated to, and that was the foundation year of 1993! Let me explain…” 

“Next we come on to Jimmy... if you go back to the early 90’s there were a bunch of ‘name tracks’ in jungle; Johnny Jungle, Scottie and of course Ricky! R-I-C-K-Y!!!” Missing had been keen to bring back the names! I mean, who can forget their favourite ‘name’ track? Any time you hear that name said or shouted down the street you automatically started reciting that tune in your head. But the list of names was short and another one was needed, homage had to be paid, and a fresh name added to the exclusive collective. ‘Jimmy’ was born. Sam drops science “I often think that in the original jungle era we weren’t scared to drop in a leftfield sample, those quirky, whimsical touches often blew up and inspired others. We took from all genres of music, video games and definitely film and TV samples. Tracks had personality, even as far as having names! I wanted to bring that vibe back and also update the dark side vibe of ‘93.  I had been searching for another name track inspiration but nothing had caught me.  Then a few weeks into lockdown I found the perfect vocal and ‘Jimmy’ was born. I gave a copy to Bailey who dropped it on his live sets including the Ram House Party. He was vibing on it and pulled up a rewind which was a great accolade. I was well happy. Anyway, the idea for the track was from the 90’s era but the track had crisp modern beats so it definitely made sense to have it reimagined into a traditional jungle style banger. Enter Lavery...  Tom Lavery is too young to have experienced the darkside era first time around but he is definitely one of the top producers in the scene championing the 90’s jungle and hardcore sound.  He was already on my radar for a remix on Sub System and I really wanted him to remix this tune and thankfully he agreed. I have to say he certainly came correct on this one, channeling the Soul Pride break adding sliced up Amen vibes into a fresh darkside smasher. Brutal and its 1993 all over!”

For the traditional Repertoire Christmas freebie we've dug into our archives and pulled out the most requested, unreleased tune from Law & Wheeler's back catalogue.

Survivalist was written back in 2016, riding the wave of half time jungle at the time. It was signed to a new label which unfortunately never materialised.

Rather than let it be lost on a Seagate hard drive forever, we've fixed it up for 2020. Plus, because this year has been extra shit, Law has banged out a quick and dirty jungle VIP mix for you.

Merry Christmas from everyone at Repertoire; here's to a very slightly less shit 2021.
