we kick off 2011 with the latest collaborative plate of bristol-based build badness – label boss baobinga cooking up two what-do-you-call-it tracks with one of 2010s breakthrough producers, the man they call hyetal. starting 2010 with a huge punch drunk release alongside shortstuff, hyetal further refined his sound through collaborations with peverelist, and the massive prince-tastic anthem >phoenix< on orca – which can be found sitting proudly at number 36 in fact magazines tracks of the year run-down. with some big releases due in 2011, and more velour beats (with julio bashmore) on the way, we are very excited to have him involved in a build release.

the fourth release on build, again mixing and matching the tempos and styles for maximum raving fun. support from skream, plastician, mistajam, jackmaster, mark pritchard / harmonic 313, brackles, l-vis & bok bok, 2562 and more.

future house, funky, dubstep, techno whatever its called i think its safe to say, a corker. possibly the best yet. 3rd release on build, great support from sinden, jackmaster, redlight, mungos hi fi, modeselektor, mista jam, mary anne hobbs, mj cole, drop the lime, and telepathic support from martyn.

build007 sees one of the hottest tracks from baobingas critically acclaimed joint ventures collaborative project flipped by one the fastest-rising producers of the last 12 months. >gun talk< by baobinga & i.d., featuring the dread vocals of rider shafique, attracted support from across the world of forward-thinking djs – most notably appearing as a highlight of mary-anne hobbs 2011 sonar performance… to a crowd of 10.000 in barcelona. for this release, we enlisted kahn to rework the tune with his trademark blend of grime-vibes and soundsystem bass-pressure. having appeared twice on the legendary punch drunk label, and fresh from remixing joker, its pretty much an open secret that kahn is the bristol producer set to blow this year. alongside the original >gun talk<, a fresh baobinga & i.d. beat is blessed with riders unique vocals – >lickle further< blending funky, bashment and dancehall vibes together into a gyal-friendly dancefloor killer.

operating out of the same stable as tectonic, kapsize, earwax and caravan, multiverse brings you a new label, build, hitting the exciting space where future garage, dubstep, uk funky and all things bass intersect. headed up by renowned bassmusic ambassador baobinga, known for his massive releases on soul jazz (with tayo & spyda) and trouble & bass (with detroits dj nasty), as well as his wide ranging dj sets across the globe (including an appearance at fabrics 10th birthday this october), the first release on build sees baobinga joined by regular partner in crime i.d. (boka, mata syn, cool & deadly). tongue riddim takes elements of kuduru, percussive dubstep and junglistic sub-bass pressure and combines them into a tightly wound slice of dancefloor propulsion.on the flip, roska ? one of the main players in the uk funky scene and a core dj on rinse fm ? takes the tempo down but retains the sense of rhythmic intensity, rolling trademark tough roska drums over a warm, yet menacing, bassline. hypnotic without ever losing impact, the remix has already become a staple in his rinse show. early dj support comes from sinden, martyn, starkey, buraka som sistema, scratcha dva, trg, shortstuff & brackles and more.
