This one is particularly special as Arka originates from the same home town as BBB’s label boss; the overcast, former industrial power and tea drinking centre of England, Leicester. Despite its size and history Leicester is not considered one of the most glamorous UK cities, and its this underground, angular quality that informs Arka's powerful debut ‘Severan’.

Like an abandoned factory floor remembering its former glory, ‘Severan’ reverberates through the decaying walls bringing a forgotten zeal to the once proud heavy machinery and cracked walls. Clanking percussion fused with cavernous beats creates a fierce yet shadowy texture that radiates industrial might. ‘The Way’ picks up where Severan leaves off, only with a slightly more rounded flourish. The edges are still present but they are softened by a bouncing bassline, bright key stabs, evasive pads and an insistent vocal hook. 

Fierce yet alluring, another fine debut on BBB.

Lena Willikens is the kind of artist who’s only capable of following one path – her own. In many ways, she’s the archetypal selector, an unpredictable DJ who often eschews all notions of genre in favor of what she describes as “different temperatures, different time zones, different moods and a healthy portion of chaos.” Although her methods have certainly proven effective on the dancefloor, Willikens also refuses to be bound by its traditional limitations.

That willingness to buck convention also extends to this compilation, as the German DJ and celebrated Salon des Amateurs resident has elected to stock her contribution to the Selectors series with a surprising number of previously unreleased tracks. “I’ve been playing most of these songs for a while now,” she explains. “I benefit from my friends and colleagues who constantly send me their unreleased music. Now I want to give something back by sharing these tracks with everybody.”

Nevertheless, those looking for vintage gems won’t be disappointed, as Willikens has also included a handful of oddball favorites from her record bag. At the same time, she’s made a point to avoid notably rare and expensive tunes. “There are already enough passionate people out there doing a great job digging and reissuing,” she says. Instead, her curatorial instincts have taken her in a much more conceptual direction, which she describes as a “little trip through the dunes.” She adds, “It might be challenging to walk or dance on the sand, so perhaps it’s more comfortable to lay down and glide along without having a certain destination in mind.”

[No Remixes or Mixtapes]

Blah Blah Blah (BBB) was a party that was founded in the summer of 2007 by four local Brighton (UK) DJs who decided to combine forces and inject some fresh party into their local scene. Since then co-founder Jon E Cassell has gone on to launch an internationally recognised online music magazine, the WeAreBlahBlahBlah mix series and most recently Blah Blah Blah Records, whilst hosting and supporting a staggering array of electronic talent across the UK & Europe, ranging from Maya Jane Coles to Ben UFO.

The success of BBB has been built upon their enthusiasm and passion for quality electronic music and their determination and ability to deliver truly memorable nights regardless of whether the music is considered scenester-ish, hyped, underground, cool, or not cool.

In the past 6 years BBB has had the privilege of holding residency at two of Brighton’s key clubbing institutions ‘Audio & Digital’ as well as securing shows for London’s Regulate, Ibiza Rocks and EXIT Festival, on top of which their record label ‘Blah Blah Blah Records’ is gathering a considerable reputation for breaking new electronic talent.

The story so far…..we are very grateful to the following for their support of BBB Records and the artists whose music we have released (in no particular order): Loco Dice, Tensnake, Rudimental, Mak & Pasteman, B Traits, Crazy P, Komon, Claude VonStroke, Justin Martin, Midland, Four Tet, Addison Groove, Skream, Oneman, Stephen Worthy (RA), Tale Of Us, South London Ordnance, Dusky, Laurent Garnier, Catz N Dogz, Disclosure, James Zabiela, Sasha, Justin Jay, James Welsh, KRL, Doorly, Last Magpie, Sly-One, Huxley, Hot Since 82, James Teej, Ben Pearce, Zinc, Thefft, Shadow Child, Eliphino, Breach, Waifs & Strays, Deetron, Mista Jam, Kry Wolf, Alan Fitzpatrick, Audiojack, Mary Ann Hobbs, Trevino, J Phlip…we would also like to say a big thanks to all the other radio stations, online publications and DJs who we’ve not been able to mention, like all good acceptance speech’s we cant ramble on forever through tear stained eyes!!
