RELEASED ON 7.6.2024 ON REEL PEOPLE MUSIC VIA PROPER
CATALOGUE NUMBER RPMVS013
A spin-off from acclaimed compilation brand Soulful, Deep & Dope - introduced
back in 2015 - this new series sees the much-loved independent imprint pushing
further at the boundaries of soulful music. All with that customary Reel People
feeling.
Broken, Deep & Dope 2024, the series' first instalment, unleashes 20 superlative
examples of the soulful 'bruk' (broken beat), nu beat and nu jazz sound that has
so innovatively informed contemporary dancefloors around the world since its
inception back in late Nineties West London.
Bringing together classic cuts from the Reel People Music stable (including those
by Daz-I-Kue, Monkey Brothers and Reel People) and key productions from some
of its closest affiliates and biggest inspirations (such as Vikter Duplaix,
Jazzanova, Bugz In The Attic, Kaidi Tatham, and Sean McCabe), this white- hot
selection nips and tucks beautifully between stuttered Latin and Afro rhythms,
deep house-edged jams and soaring fights of soul-jazz fancy.
Reel People Music is a label borne out of the soulful success of acclaimed
collective Reel People but representing so much more. Launched in late 2009, the
imprint has built a fiercely loyal international fanbase through its passion for
artist development, musicianship, song-craft and authentic soulful groove.
Broken, Deep & Dope 2024, with its scattered yet compulsive beats, frisky
basslines and acrobatic melodies, promises to further expand Reel People
Music's reputation for soulful depth and drama. Gathering old and new favourites
from some of the world's finest taste-making DJs and producers, this is another
scorching, oh-soul essential hustle. End of.
