Leaders of London’s Bruk movement CoOp continue to expose a wealth of fresh talent navigating in and around the world of broken beat and beyond with the third instalment of their Selectors Assemble series.

Following various artist releases that saw rollers from both old and new school players like Seiji, Henry Wu, Entek and EVM128, CoOp Presents proceed with Selectors Assemble Volume Three, a six-track selection from their ever-growing squad that sweeps club styles and brings another assortment of dancefloor ammo.

With efforts from German trio Soul Parlor, label bosses IG & Phountzi (aka NameBrandSound), Gontzi and more, today we focus on the soulful grooves of next-gen member James Rudie. Branded as ‘drunken house’, ‘BoxD’ sees Rudie continue to pull out the swing, with extra shuffle in the kit and tender notes in all the right places.

The 1st release on CoOp presents is now out!! big ups  to all who are supporting this amazing release!

Later this month, CoOp Presents will launch with Selectors Assemble Volume Two.

Founded by IG Culture and Alex Phountzi, CoOp Presents looks to continue the spirit of the legendary CoOp movement, while focusing on the wealth of talent that exists within the London Bruk movement and beyond.

The first release follows last summer's Selectors Assemble EP, released via First Word Records, which gave the world the first glimpse of the CoOp Presents crew via a selection of UK dance cuts. Selectors Assemble Volume Two presents a six-track selection taking in jazzy 4/4 club cuts, deep broken beats outings, and funk-infused soul.

In support of the release, the label has offered up a bonus remix from Entek feat. Alxndr London, a stunning, head nodding cut which you can grab via WeTransfer below. You can pre-order Selectors Assemble Volume Two here.

Tomorrow, the crew will also be throwing a party at London's The Jazz Cafe, which you can check out here.

Proud to announce that Selectors Assemble Volume 2 drops on the 23rd of February to launch the CoOp Presents label. Brand new 6 track EP featuring new music from EVM128 Cengiz ENTEK James Rudie Danvers and this Namebrandsound remix of London artist Miraa May premiered via Complex. More info and preorder links for vinyl and digital below....

After the success of Volume 1 last year, CoOp presents are about to drop Selectors Assemble Volume 2 (due Feb 23), a collection comprised of UK dance music pioneers and current talent within the London Bruk movement. Founded by IG Culture and Alex Phountzi (aka NameBrandSound), the project exists to bridge the gap and serve as an umbrella to veterans and newcomers alike.

Over six tracks, the likes of EVM128, James Rudie and others vibe, groove and flex, showcasing their unique talents, creating the perfect soundtrack to start or even finish any Friday/Saturday night. To give you an idea of what we're talking about, we're sharing Miraa May and NameBrandSound's contribution to the comp: the latter's remix of  "I Don't Want Ya", a hyped-up, bouncy take on UK garage and bassline with more experimental electronic sounds thrown in, deftly balancing the two worlds.

Gilles Peterson has been one of the world’s top DJs for three decades, but his fascination with the craft remains as bright as ever. So in The Psychology of DJing, Gilles interviews five of his favorite DJs to explore life behind the turntables.  Why do they do it? How do they handle the pressure? What’s it like to build a profession out of a passion?

Gilles says, “Having been in the DJ cockpit for more than 30 years, I’ve always been fascinated by what makes other DJs tick. I still love it to bits, but there have been times of doubt. So that’s what I wanted to find out about in this series – chatting to some of my favorite characters on the world circuit about the highs and lows of playing records to people.”

The series features intimate chats with Seth Troxler, The Black Madonna, Craig Richards, IG Culture and Cassy and each discussion takes a slightly different turn, covering everything from breastfeeding to the pressures of tough crowds.

And because Gilles has been there, done it and got the t-shirt, all five of his interviewees are searingly honest about the joys and struggles of their creative endeavor.
