Releasing now for well over a decade - Neue Grafik: known to friends as Fred, has successfully transplanted from Parisian rookie to one- man London Institution. Beginning as a solo producer and DJ,Fred spread his wings upon relocating to South London - at first with his Neue Grafik Ensemble and later with his now iconic twice-weekly Orii Jam - the latter of which has given agency to an entire new generation of musicians; spawning an aesthetic, nurturing a unique sound and becoming a launchpad for countless artists.

Dalston Tape Volume 1 is Fred’s attempt to fall back in love with beatmaking - taking it back to the roots of
where the project began. I say “attempt” because he’s simply learnt too much and made too many friends
along the way to make a mere DIY beat tape. Since his early MPC-led productions on Parisian label, Beat
X Changers, Fred has learnt to play the keys to a concert hall standard, he has become proficient in double bass and built up a dense network of collaborators who he has composed, recorded, engineered and produced for both at home in SE London and in the iconic Total Refreshment Centre Studios in Dalston.

This experience adds unavoidable dimensions to his toolbox - resulting in something more akin to a miniature-magnum-opus than a simple beat-tape.

Yes, we hear the influences of Pete Rock, Mad Lib, J Dilla and Al Dobson Jr but we also hear the musicality of D’Aneglo, James Blake and live contributions from an ever growing army of young graduates of the Orii School.

Following on from the three highly-acclaimed CoOp Presents 'Selectors Assemble' compilation EPs from the past year, it's now time to focus on some of the individual talents from the ever-evolving movement. As the international foundation grows, we invite aboard the extremely talented Neue Grafik into the fold. French producer, instrumentalist and DJ, Neue Grafik, has been building a strong rep for himself over the past few years, releasing records previously on labels such as Rhythm Section, 22a and Wolf Music. His sound is a hybrid of jazz, house, broken beat and hip hop, all with his unique geographical flavours of African ethnicity, Parisian roots and a love for London thrown into the mix. So to the music - two brand new tracks, 'I Miss Something' and 'Bed Stuy's Mood', complete with remixes from EVM128, Danvers, Xtra Bruk and NameBrandSound (aka label bosses IG Culture & Alex Phountzi) respectively, making this one essential package for the bruk soldiers and beyond.

Long time friend of the label, Neue Grafik, steps forth with his most fully realised offering to date. This record has been a long time coming, born out of a encounter in Paris back in 2016. This meeting of minds led to a blossoming friendship between Fred ( Neue Grafik) and Bradley ( RS INTL) which has taken them across 3 continents, countless dance-floors and finally crystallised onto this 12”. The record itself takes cues from the broken-beat sound of London while paying homage to the Parisian house dance scene. Largely sample based, but also employing much more live instrumentation than ever before, Neue Grafik’s music is informed by movement and in turn offers so much for Dancers to respond to.

Guber releases his first EP on Paris based label Beat X Changers at the intersection of Ambiant and mental UK Bass music. The whole project is held by alternation of Slope / Release of sub-frequency and obsessional loop that dye each tracks. Anisotropic Expression is a first work that could be seen here as an draft representation of the behavior of surrounding matter. Non musical influences therefore are brought here by the the study of properties of materials expressed in a musical statement. Raw obsessional patterns, evolving and rolling out over the headroom could be seen as the emulation of many deformation models. Shaping of stereo and arrangement have been handled with the help of the sound engineer & producer X_1 leading to home or club-listening experience as well. Guber is been into music by listening & playing some music of the 70’s and trash-metal that drove him straight to UK Bass music. Since there he is only focusing on spontaneous creation showing faithfull perception of thoughts, leading to a higher level of singularity.

Beat X Changers comes back to you with our new release, introducing young and gifted Canadian producer Ferness. Matthew joined the Beat X crew following what has become a classical path to the producers of the labels. After joining the forum in 2015, he shared a collab with Frakktale on ‘Speed Luanda’ which got our attention with its deep, broken and melodic structure. Today we can proudly introduce you to his first release - Internet/Dreams/Deception – which will take you in a soft and beautiful daydream tinted with a 80’s grain.
You’ll be guided all along of this trip by a strong and powerful rhythmic, full of House, Broken Beats & Bass influence. Beat X Changers at its best!

Paris-based Beat X Changers brings up to you a new record with a collaborative project in the shape of classic cuts.Our new release introduces two new French artists brought together on a split EP: Tell from Paris and Name from the sunny Avignon city, both of them backed- up by exclusive remixes from three of our historical Beat X producers: Neue Grafik and Pulkone (aka X_1 & Monomite).On the A-side, discover Tell - a 20-year old jazz drummer - who releases two soulful and melodic tracks. You’ll recognize the heat of the MPC grain, obsessing samples and uplifting breaks. On the B-side, Southern producer Name offers a disco-like and funky house music via two dancing tracks with a clear reference to the clubbing universe of New York and Chicago. This activist Dj and experimented producer – he is an Ableton teacher on the side – gained recognition in the South of France music scene in the last decade and reached the ears of producer Kink.Grand Écart (i.e. wide gap or split) recalls the time it took to release this EP. It’s also a geographical gap, a gap between the ideas of the five artists brought together on this release, a gap between our expectations and the reality of some passed – or cancelled – venues in Paris. We have always believed in this project and in our flexibility

Two years after releasing his first EP, X_1 pursues his exploration of the connections between electronic codes and sounds related to space, stories or emotions. This disc is teinted with Electroacoustic influences and its three tracks, "Le Glitch", "Happy Hifi" & "Tangente a l’Ouest" each have their own identity. They are all indeed dedicated to both dancing and meditating. This disc aims to generate proper listening moments and emotions wether you’re in a club, at home, in the street, alone or with some friends. Three colored wanderings that came out of this young producer’s mind.

Ep multicolore, Monomite voyage entre Jazz, Funk, UK Bass dans un univers résolument House. Chaque titre de cet ovni dans le monde de la house, décrit sa vision d’un état en rapport avec l'espace, le temps, le corps et l'esprit. A l'auditeur d'y faire les associations qu'il veut dans une salle obscure, tout en dansant sur sa rythmique frénétique lié à sa passion première, la ligne de basse. Ce n’est pas un hasard si les quatre concepts qui forment l’Ep sont directement connectés à l’univers de la danse. Cet Ep a été écrit autant pour l’esprit que pour le corps, avec un morceau clin d’œil à la communauté de House Dancers parisienne qui se réunit une fois par mois au travers des évènements Tap Water Jam. Arrivée de ce vaisseau rempli de danseurs le 16 février.
