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.

following on from their own ep, the latest offering from hanuman and atki2s steak house imprint sees baobinga, poirier and a host of mcs join the steak house family. steak 003 sees the label moving into bashment territory with the original bass music badman baobinga serving up three prime cuts of juicy vocal raggastep. backed by a remix by karnival king poirier, this record is crammed full of party heat. sam baobinga has been one of the most important producers on the british music scene over the last five years. with releases on labels such as soul jazz, ninja tune and positiva as well as his own build imprint and remixes for artists like guru, the ragga twins, and the wu tang clan, baobinga has consistently reinvented and reshaped his sound and stayed several steps ahead of the game. this release sees binga push his heavy raggastep sound, bass heavy vocal bashment with a nod to the lush full synth sounds of future garage and featuring original voicings by some of the uks hottest mcs. fire!
