2012 was without doubt the breakthrough year for south london ordnance. in the space of twelve months the 23 year old artist put out three separate 12 inches alongside a five track ep, which garnered support from jamie xx, scuba, benji b, mary ann hobbes, mosca, claude vonstroke, richie hawtin and more. his jungle-advised, finely honed productions also rightly earned him notable mention in several annual end of year roundups including dj mags best of british 2012, xlr8rs 4th best new act of 2012 (alongside disclosure and karenn), and time out uks djs to watch in 2013. with this debut outing on hotflush recordings scheduled for march, 2013 is set to be yet another strong year for the young producer.

after 20 superb 12 inch single releases over five and half years in the game, uk label, 2nd drop, is proud to present its first compilation, future foundations, featuring a mixture of established artists who have graced the label previously, alongside a handful of exciting new acts generating some serious hype on the scene right now. this compilation is the first of many that will bear the future foundations title. we have assigned each 12 inch with a number, *foundation 1, foundation 2* and so on, viewing these chunks of superb music as the foundations of an on-going, multi-layered aural concept that will document the rich and varied output of the label and its artists for the foreseeable future.

south london ordnance will return with an ep of dense house/techno mutations on september 24. the big boss theme ep contains three tracks on vinyl with an additional two digital-only cuts. stream the relentless ep below.slo recently told fact that >everything is shapes and textures for me, regardless of what it is, whether its marks on a piece of paper or stuff in the interface on logic<. this visual approach to music comes through on his space-conscious constructions. the immersive compositions share a intensity that sets the newcomer apart from his peers: the tracks are persistent but never exhausting. previously released >transmission funk< and >trojan< hum with industrial precision and dancefloor ecstasy, respectively.

teal presents south london ordnance as the artist for the sixth release. since his emergence in early 2012 south london ordnance has recieved much hype, and rightfully so. two of his deeper sonic excursions >witch hunt< and >chase scene< span the two sides of this, his probably most exciting ep to date.

the constant carousel like shift of unreleased tracks on his soundcloud and sporadic twitter sessions, south london ordnance relishes his clandestine, shady persona, keen to allow his craft to act as spokesman instead. following early support from electronic musics matriarch mary anne hobbs, a marauding mixtape for glasgows luckyme earlier this year and big support from mosca, hackman, dark sky and tessela, the amount of hype surrounding this south london (obviously) based beatsmith has been ridiculous. and we are very pleased to say this is his debut release, and a killer 12 inch to pop his recording cherry!

italian artist raffaele attanasio kicks off the new year for mutual rytm with his superb south signatures ep, channelling multiple techno styles into one potent package.
