Based in Bristol and Berlin, he presides over a number of labels such as NoCorner, LAVALAVA, FuckPunk, Hotline Recordings, Peng Sound Records, and also operates a record shop Rewind Forward in Bristol, and is deeply involved in Young Echo and Avon Terror Corps. UK Bristol scene fixer Ossia.
A gorgeous compilation album that includes different versions of works released from excellent labels such as Blackest Ever Black and Berceuse Heroique since the mid-2010s, collaboration works with Simon Grab, and his own unreleased sound sources. A1 samples the vocals of legendary deejay/reggae producer Prince Far I, who used his lightning voice to criticize the Jamaican government's corrupt crimes.
Although he has a unique style that darkly fuses Berlin industrial and Bristol dub, he stopped releasing in 2019 as if he didn't want to be in line with other artists (I wonder if Corona is also affecting it). A self-release, no data release, cassette-only DIY one has arrived.
A pure work collection that ignores the tide, containing dubby and overly profound dark downbeat works that include a lot of riddim elements and industrial elements. Personally, B3, B4, and B5 were super cool. Worth even ripping! Come on, put it out on vinyl! smile
