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.

SCIENTIFIC WAX RETRO 014 - KID LIB - SACRED SOUNDS EP AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER 26/07/24

Up next is the debut release from Kid Lib on Scientific Wax Retro, with four tracks of old skool flavours.

Kid Lib opens with Sacred Sounds: mystical bleeps and eerie washes giving way to headspinning snare patterns; one for the Amen heads! 

The pressure is maintained with Virtual Void 3 - if anything, getting even deeper and darker with its moody bassline and heavyweight breakbeat science. “Welcome to the void…”

Epitomising the ruff with the smooth aesthetic, Kid Lib flexes his mellow chops on the B side - Mellow Roller is a classic atmospheric beauty, with a slighlty melancholic twist, in a classic old skool style.

All That I Can Do (Mellow Vibes) brings the EP to a close: a soulful number in that classic atmospheric vein with rolling Soul Pride chops and a booming 808…

Copies are strictly limited so don't miss out!
