Vessel Records return with a release featuring Purveyors of Fine Funk, Politics of Dancing, Rhymos and James Barnsley.
Helmed by Back To Basics resident James Barnsley, it’s safe to say Vessel Records know exactly what they’re doing with their initial five releases including names such as Daze Maxim, Burnski, DJ Honesty, Laura Jones and Diego Krause. The label’s excellent discography continues in their sixth release with Dan Curtin under his Purveyors of Fine Funk moniker – highly regarded for early releases on Peacefrog, Nepenta, and more recently Bass Culture.
Politics of Dancing, known separately as S.M.A.L.L & PACO, are the Parisian duo behind their fast- rising eponymous label, whereas British talent Rhymos has quickly garnered a reputation for his compelling productions on the likes of Overall Music, Whistleblower Records and murmur. Joined by Barnsley himself, this four-track release demonstrates each artist in fine form.
Purveyors Of Fine Funk’s ‘Depth of Bass’ is a raw sounding cut with ethereal atmospherics and moody chord sequences. James Barnsley is next with his deep and trippy number titled ‘She not Fast’ before Politics of Dancing merge intricate percussion with rumbling bass in their mesmerising ‘Queens Road’. Tying things together, Rhymos gets rhythmic with ‘Jazz Hand’ featuring acid licks and echoing effects.
Various Artists ‘Down to Business Vol.1’ drops on Vessel Records on 13th March 2017.

Leeds-born, Canada-based Vessel Records co-founder James Barnsley provides the imprint’s next release titled ‘Big Move EP’.
Known for releases on labels like Politics of Dancing Records, Overall Music, Innercircle and Frole Records, Back To Basics regular Barnsley begins 2018 by returning to his Vessel Records imprint with ‘Big Move EP’. Consisting of two low-slung originals, the release also includes remixes from Bass Culture founder D’Julz and Cabinet Records bosses Cabdrivers.
A compelling groove lays the foundation of ‘Time’ whilst quivering synths operate throughout, leading into D’Julz’s remix that twists the original into a moody roller with tightly executed 808s at its core. ‘Forgiveness’ starts with clanking percussion as melodies add to the heightening atmosphere, while the Cabdrivers remix takes the key elements of the original and plays with the harmonies to make them coarser.
