At the start of the year, we were excited to announce a long-term collaboration with cult club troupe The Ballistic Brothers. After a sell-out 7” of the classic ‘Blacker’, and a series of digital releases, we reissued ‘London Hooligan Soul’ in April. On 23 August we are set to release their vital debut ‘The Ballistic Brothers vs. The Eccentric Afros (Vol. 1)’. This release was a club smash - the place where ‘Blacker’ first appeared, and if you owned an original copy you have probably worn out either the vinyl, the flimsy original sleeve (or both).

Originally consisting of Ashley Beedle, Rocky and Diesel of X-Press 2, with contributions from keyboard player Uschi Classen - David Hill of Nuphonic would join for Volume 2 - each member has had storied roles in UK club music. The Ballistic Brothers are a unique product of time and place. A place where a generation of clubbers sought the many routes and possibilities of the burgeoning London dance scene.
