When it comes to bona fide garage MCs, Sparks is one of the top boys. His distinctive chatter helped "Fly Bi" become one of the UKG's most epoch-defining crossover tunes. For this authentic garage homage we find him going toe-to-toe with fellow mic luminaries Rubi Dan, Midas and many more, creating a sterling balance between nostalgia and future-thinking bass music. Remix-wise, label bosses Deekline & Ed Solo give it a modern day breakbeat reboot, Pure SX and Mutantbreakz add some cheeky slap bass into the mix and, last but definitely not least, Rennie Pilgrem does serious damage with a breakbeat tidal wave. Lift those shoulders now!

Spain's finest Colombo follows up his Big-Beat inspired 2012 album "Abandoned Factory" with "Station 21", our final release for 2013. Colombo (Alejandro to his mum) takes us on a journey back to the early 2000s and it's burgeoning "nuskool breaks" scene, the sound that's become the breakbeat genre we know and love. The album is a love letter to the sounds, the beats, and the vibe of the breaks scene's roots. The album opens with title track "Station 21" with it's skippy beats and warped bassline, then elevates to higher, more club-friendly heights with the acid-fuelled "Bluish". Colombo keeps a contemporary feel to the album too with the inclusion of "Sponging" and the dirty and driving "Drop It". There's plenty of deeper cuts here too with the percussive, groove-laden "Four Strokes" and low-end heavy "Destruction". Tracks like "Nu-skooling" and "Kinship" provide the more "nuskool" rollers here focussing on throbbing basslines and percussion, whilst "Induism" and "Takes The Physical" sounds like actual undiscovered classic gems from the early 2000s. Big system tracks are well and truly present on the album too - anyone looking for something anthemic and ravey should head straight for "Come With Me" or "Classic Approach" for instant gratification via piano riffs, chopped up breakbeats and sirens galore. "What's Up" and "Foreplay" explores Electro while final track "Personal Belongings" keeps the bpms lower but the energy high with a 110bpm finale. This album pays homage to all things breakbeat in all it's many facets, and there's as much here to please new lovers of the genre, whilst being evocative of "the good old days" to original breaks fans.

Colombo is these days one of the most successful artists in the whole breaks scene. After smashing every single breaks chart out there with his previous project BSD and Kultur + Colombo, he came right back to the arena with his absolutely stunning Exposed EP series, achieving many number ones with all three parts of the EP, including one of the biggest hits so far in 2011, Everybody, which sat at Beatport's number one for over 3 months. We are proud to introduce this 21 tracks mammoth of an album, which goes from the most elegant and well crafted two step, funky breaks and big beat to the most solid and booming tech funk, nu-jungle or dbstep.... Make sure, you have enough space in your record box, cause thins one is BIG!

Бэйс-проект британского мульти-инструменталиста, экс-барабанщика The Prodigy Кирона Пеппера и российского выскочки-диджея и продюсера Горди. ...from the spark of the idea at 4am in a club in Odessa nine years ago, we find ourselves about to embark on the next phase of BaseFace - an act which represents a strong Anglo-Russian friendship and creative collaboration. As we look to the future, we look back with fondness at our souvenirs; the tracks, the live shows and many backstage shenanigans; and so we are super proud to present ON THE LEASH, a collection of releases, which bring us to this moment in time, just before the watershed, just before the itch to pull OFF THE LEASH gets scratched...
