Right then people, as we move forward to put together STRCT012, the labels 12th digital release, we have decided to go back to our roots and bring back an artist + long-time friend to the label, SATIVA.
We first started speaking to SATIVA around 2015/16, well before Strictly 140 was even a label. I was an admirer of his production style and a huge fan of his duo alias with JFO entitled BFM. Whilst working for a Magazine I wrote about his music a number of times and since then we built a friendship through our love for 140 music.
Fast forward to 2017 and we featured BFM on the labels debut refix EP as well as putting out a free download from SATIVA. From there we linked up on various occasions over the years until eventually getting booked together in Germany for a collaborative weekend label link-up with ‘Hooded Up’ [JFO’s Label] in 2018.
In 2019 he featured on the labels debut vinyl-only release alongside JFO with their track ‘Untitled’ and from there, in 2020, we decided to put out a digital release from SATIVA. It was 4 instrumental tracks of icy weight, bridging the gap between grime and dubstep perfectly.
We are very excited to share with you his next project, it’s been 4 years to the day since his last one on the label, so we think it’s about time.
STRCT012 entitled ‘Dem Nuh Chat EP’ features 3 tracks of pure Soundsystem weight, incorporating various dubstep, grime & garage flavours into all 3 tracks.
The artwork is being created by our resident designer Rhys Leeds and the entire release should be out exclusively on Bandcamp by 20/04/2024, official online distro retailers will release the EP a few weeks later.
Safe.
