We’re very happy to release this 2-track EP by Soul Beat Runna. He previously released a Free DL single (https://soundcloud.com/samsarab/soul-beat-runna-sly?in=samsarab/sets/singles-free-download)with our label that has been largely appreciated by our audience and supported by many DJs. 

The title-track is a 4x4 high energy old school, bass-driven track with a very interesting use of scat samples. The second track is more introspective with its trippy arpeggios.

Last but not least, ALL the proceeds of the EP will be donated to Mind https://www.mind.org.uk

“The idea for True Rebels came to me at the end of 2020. I wanted to make a Footwork/Jungle/160 track that paid homage to early Detroit Techno pioneers such as Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson and Juan Atkins. The piano riff came first and then the tune practically wrote itself. For the B-Side I made a couple of tracks that didn't make the grade and then came up with a 16 bar loop that I thought was ok. I struggled to think of a way to make it more interesting and then found a tune in my collection with the scat loop that I used to complete it. Ironically the B-Side turned out to be the better track so that is the title of the EP!
Regarding my decision to donate the profits to charity, my girlfriend and I have benefited greatly from the support of the people at Mind (https://www.mind.org.uk) over the years and I want to give something back to an organization that has changed our lives for the better, forever. Thanks to everyone supporting me and my music, I hope you enjoy the tunes.”

Soul Beat Runna - Runnin'

Since 2011, Simon Hafner aka Sun People from Graz has been merging footwork, juke, jungle and UK hardcore influences to create his own distinctive sound. With releases on labels like Exit, Alphacut, Rua Sound and Through These Eyes, he has made a name for himself in the international 160 bpm scene over the years. In addition to remix jobs and his own productions, Simon also pursues his musically eclectic vision on a highly rated four-weekly radio show on London's Sub.FM.

On his EP The Walls, released in 2020 on Defrostatica, he devoted himself to early Chicago house music as well as European proto-hardcore of the 80s and the turbo sound championed by the likes of Fracture, Itoa and BSN Posse.

In 2022, Sun People presents a refined version of high-speed breakbeat minimalism, drawing further from bleep, dub and even industrial techno, but still with optimistic depth. From the cold bleep-influenced opener Into The New to the jungle-tekno track Overtoom and the tribalism of State of Flux, Sun People builds its own hypnotic approach to captivate dancers. Amaterasu marks the soulful coda and gives us the opportunity to take a breath.

Australian label B&H Records' next release is from Gavnlig. The Copenhagen-born producer with Icelandic roots, Gavnlig plays with a range of sounds from across the hardcore continuum.  His new EP "Living In Fear" showcases gritty percussion, deep bass, and repetitive vocal stabs shuffled up in unexpected ways.
During their Sound Design studies at Sonic College they released multiple EP’s, organized community-driven raves for local culture-starved youth and did event production for Strøm Festival. They’ve also held residencies at several community radios and combined with their years of experience DJ’ing in the Danish climbing community, Gavnlig has a layered understanding of every step of the sonic process - from inception of musical idea to the scoops and kickbins that make the crowd vibrate." Follow the Buy link when the tune goes live on Band Camp March 2nd!

Nu Gun on the flipside gets a lot more dubby with it's perfect jungle beat edits and moody chord stabs - all that laid out over a well known vocal sample. It can easily be considered a prime example of Sun People's signature sound which is heavily rooted in Dub, Jungle and Juke/Footwork.

Bringing his 2020 story to a gleaming crescendo with an exciting new chapter of music, Keeno graces the world of drum & bass with his very first solo album on Hospital Records, following his three previous triumphant albums on sister-label Med School. ‘I Live, I Learn’ is a divine body of work that goes above and beyond Keeno’s previous repertoire with a fresh outlook on the distinct, classically-infused D+B style that he is loved for.

Album title-track ‘I Live, I Learn (feat. Fæ Vie)’ kickstarts the journey with a majestically cinematic introduction where Keeno’s multi-instrumentalist training shines through as earnest pianos and strings are seamlessly intertwined, laying down the canvas for Fæ Vie to decorate with her beautiful melodies and heartfelt lyrics.

‘Behind The Glass’ instils immense euphoria and inspiration with the vocals of Kate Wild which uplift and teach the important lesson of self-love. Sublime flourishes and a bassline crafted with sonic precision elevate the irresistibly feel-good track into a world of its own. A future favourite of those who had his ‘Sick Music 2020’ contribution ‘I Wonder’ on repeat.

Transcendent atmospherics and soulful guitar grooves set the scene on ‘Severn Summers’ before splashy Amen breaks and jazzy chords ignite into an explosion of musical brightness. Exquisitely executed vintage vocal samples add to the cut’s sublime flair. This is liquid drum & bass at its finest.

Teaming up with New Zealand based singer/songwriter, and no stranger to Hospital Records, Thomas Oliver brings his infectiously enlivening vibe to ‘Sunflowers’. Pulsing sub basses, crisp breaks and a warm piano pair perfectly with the blissful vocals of Thomas Oliver. Other notable collaborations on the album include Whiney & Ebson on ‘Unreachable’, Etherwood on the well-received single ‘Fall Beneath You’ and rising star Telomic on ‘Listen Close’.

Keeno’s dedication to crafting his own unique sound has not gone unnoticed. His remarkable productions have been supported by esteemed tastemakers, including a ‘Self-Certified Selection’ from MistaJam on BBC Radio 1, plays from Rene LaVice and his music being aired across the UK airwaves from 1Xtra to 6Music. On top of this, Keeno also hosts his widely renowned ‘Bristol Mix Series’ streams showcasing the very best established and upcoming talent in drum & bass. The success of his ‘Bristol Mix Series’ has led to his very own bi-weekly residency at Basement 45 in Bristol, where you’ll be able to catch Keeno spinning the latest D+B to his socially-distanced devotees.

The hardest hitting track from Drumskull's blazing debut album of last year gets the full 12" and digital EP treatment, re-mastered and cut here by Beau Thomas at Ten Eight Seven, and followed by a high pressure 'Nosebleed' remix by the brilliant ETCH. On the flip, solid reworks from Benny iLL of Horsepower Productions and the prolific Coco Bryce supply contrasting takes on the Drumskull album tracks 'Battle Stations' and 'Interlocked' respectively.

Whether dancefloors and other party spots prove to be accessible this year or not, these four sure shots offer all the pressure and intensity you might require to continue to negotiate your way through the current global shit storm. Whether you are seeking escape in whatever vehicle you might have to hand, or are just getting down creatively, this EP should no doubt keep the body moving and the imagination lit.
