It seems to have been a good year for the label. Last week, RUNE Recordings was recognized as the "Label of the Year" by Breaks Review Show, sharing the top with friendly Calligraphy Recordings led by mighty artist Windom R. Also, the album of RUNE130: Mechanical Pressure — Contact Remixed LP was rated as the "Best album of 2020". On this occasion, we have compiled a playlist of 20 best RUNE Recordings tracks over the past year to share with you!

I thank each artist and the label management for their significant contribution to our favourite style of music. It's amazing to do one thing, being thousands of miles apart — from the United States to European countries and even more distant New Zealand. I congratulate everyone on the coming New 2021 Year, which promises to be even more productive and high quality in music! 🎉

Enjoy and share Breakbeats. Worldwide. 🖤

RUNE128: Komainu — Metrik — the debut release of the British duo on RUNE Recordings.

Two friends from Manchester — Dean and Daryl — are not newcomers to the music, and as skillful diggers, they have a wide outlook in the styles of breaks. So, their brand new single "Metrik" combines the punchy kick of nuskool sound and the enveloping groove intrinsic in deep breaks. We are delighted to welcome such a metric style on RUNE Recordings. 🖤

RUNE137: Kraymon — Ill Behaviour — is a top-notch single from a British producer on RUNE Recordings.

"Ill Behaviour is a global symptom of today's leaders" — that is the message Kraymon is trying to portray through his music. Totalitarian pressure is detrimental to public freedom and it raises one rhetorical question: "What's wrong with you man?". Kraymon's effective antidote to the destructive control is delivered via his new, magnificent acid breaks production named "Ill Behaviour'.

We are proud to present to you one of the best releases on RUNE Recordings. Express your identity to the accompaniment of the single "Ill Behaviour". Enjoy and share Breakbeats. Worldwide.

RUNE137: Kraymon — Ill Behaviour 🔥 OUT NOW 🔥

RUNE138: Kelle — Revolution In You LP — is the very first solo-album of the Hungarian producer and RUNE Recordings’ resident artist produced in dedication to the tenth anniversary of the label.

2020 is a truly revolutionary year in human history. Each event breaks through the bottom of the permissible and ceases to impress. We have become exceedingly passive and inert within our desire to hide from the oppressive reality. But mass psychosis is opposed by a Persona that is free of prejudices and imaginary dogmas. This Persona destroys stereotypes, creating a better version of itself.

This Persona manifests itself in our resident and top-notch producer — Kelle. His solo album includes twelve tracks, showcasing the artist's mastery in a variety of genres — from nuskool, tearout and progressive breaks to mainstream & neurofunk drum'n'bass. We are confident that you will surely find a track that fits you best in this magnificently crafted album, which is meant to deliver one important message: nothing is predetermined — Revolution In You.

With love and gratitude, Kelle & RUNE family.

RUNE139: Komainu — Streets of Rage EP — is the second solo-release of the British duo on RUNE Recordings.

2020 turned our world upside down. We changed our social habits; yet, kept the ingeniousness that reflects them. In this release, the duo from Manchester — Komainu — sums up the events of the outgoing year, reflecting on the insane decisions of the authorities. Music is a way of self-expression, and in this context — a protest.

Two tracks by Komainu — "Streets of Rage" and "Freak" feat. Ultra Violet — are the expression of the current mood of society in terms of sound and message. With this release, we end this freaky year and wish everyone to create their own future, despite the circumstances. Let the music be your weapon. Enjoy and share Breakbeats. Worldwide.
