Catch My Breath

Catch My Breath (X-Coast Remix)

After the successful label launch of Borne Fruits last November with boss Amaliah's debut EP 'Borne Fruits 001', we now have an exciting new V/A compilation with the best of London's new and fresh talent.

The compilation series is called 'Club Entry', with the first being Volume 1. The idea behind the name is to celebrate new UK Club artists who are emerging in the London scene as ones to watch. The imagery for the compilation reflects this - each series will be associated to a club space and have polaroids taken whilst the club is empty, so the music you hear from the comp can transport you to your favourite club memories and spaces.

For this series, the pictures shown are taken in iconic London and UK staple club, Fabric. Each image shows a different part of the club - signs to different rooms, weighty ceiling pipes, disco balls and eerily lit corners which all encapsulate the varying sounds this compilation holds.

The artists we have include Bailey Ibbs, Reece Spooner, Highrise, Jossy Mitsu, Angel D'lite, Bluetoof, LUXE, Club Winston and Amaliah. Each track differs from the other but still holds that feeling of making you want to dance - an ethos Borne Fruits holds and cherishes.

Up first on our release timeline is Bailey Ibbs kicking things off with his infectious house track 'Jungle Splash'. This track is the perfect entry into the club with a heavyweight drum line, smooth bass and pumping vocals that are sure to get you moving.

This track is up for pre-order NOW with other tracks to follow as the weeks go by in the lead up to May 27th. I hope you enjoy this taster of what’s to come over the next 2 weeks - eyes peeled and link in bio! 💕🍇🍧🍭

Next on SEVEN, Toronto-based DJ and producer Andre Zimmer cuts through with a kaleidoscopic EP that explores an intersection between the many sub-genres of house. Ensuring that nostalgia and ‘90s flavours are loudly heard, after hurtling through the four tracks, the label’s tagline “Smile When You Dance” certainly holds up. 

On the EP he said: “I really wanted to capture that faster, chuggy, pacey style of house while still incorporating classic hip-house vocals, breakbeats and rave piano rhythms. I’ve always loved tracks in sets that aren’t overly complex, but make use of every element involved.”  This definitely shines through in this stellar release.

Wait a Minute

Ice Lolly

BCCO Premiere: Andre Zimmer - Ice Lolly [SEVEN7002]

The clock was ticking but for how long. The arena was packed, many were on their feet watching the fight unfold before their eyes. The ring was illuminated with a fabled, foggy glow as the two dancers weaved and wobbled upon their feet for all to see. It were as if they were caught up in some strange movement, a rhythm which bound them seamlessly yet unknowingly.

Then there was only one minute left. No time left to wait.

One of them would soon be forced to make their move. To commit to the ending and see the finale out. One last throw of the dice for better or worse.

Andre Zimmer is set to release a wicked EP on SEVEN which features futuristic grooves and old school samples in tandem. How does that work you ask? Well we don’t know but it does. A rockin’ EP for fast paced clubs which haven’t lost their sense of fun.
