Broken beat's legacy is one that's easy to miss if not given ample TLC. Just a quick bat of the eyelids, and one of the capital's most exciting movements can flash by. A movement that inadvertently nudged soul and boogie through the early 2000s in its own way. A movement that fed on the best parts of jazz, soul and electronica and left a lot of goodness in its wake.
The producers behind 2000black are some of its main powerhouses. Established in 1998 by Dego, the likes of multi-instrumentalist Kaidi Tatham and musical director Akwasi are key ambassadors of the sound.
After a 2014 that spawned beauties like Darkest Pumpkin's "Let It Be/That Feeling" and March's Lordamercy they're back. They resurface with three new tracks - each of which are strong nominees for Debuts. "Make It Hard" was the office shoo-in though. It's a track to instantly making heads knock back and forth like Churchill dog nodding playthings. Jovial polyrhythms galore, the allure of soothing rhodes and all bundled on top of a slick bass underbelly.
It'll be ripe for picking later this spring.
