It’s been exactly a year since the 6th Borough boys emerged from their hiatus to bring us the Rhythm & Truth EP. This killer three tracker picked up where they left off and showed us that fans of deep, dusty, dubbed-out disco were as hungry as ever for new 6BP material and went on to garner praise from the likes of Jamie 3:26, Luke Solomun, Dam Swindle, Young Pulse and the Faith crew to name a few. Here on their follow up we’re treated to more of the good stuff and sees Craig Smith and Graeme ‘Revenge’ Clark whipping up four new cuts spanning speaker- wobbling sub-aquatic grooves and stripped back deep house. One Way sets the tone with a subtle yet infectious percussive workout which is one of those mood setting tools which looks set to become a lot of DJ’s secret weapons this summer. Filtering strings and tweaked synths add that classic Chicago energy which won’t fail to get you locked into it’s groove. Spare Change treads a similar path but goes heavier on the echoing synth stabs and deep string pads proving that when the rhythm is rolling this nicely just let it roll. Flip over for Backlash which takes us deeper still with lush chords and driving square wave bassline taking centre stage supported by an unrelent ing kick drum which helps to keep an intensity throughout the arrangement. Closing out the EP we have The Other, which sees 6BP dropping the BPM’s to create a low-slung slice of deep, underground house perfection. More

The boys from the ‘Borough are back! It’s been almost ten years since 6BP were last on Delusions Of Grandeur so we’re stoked to welcome them back with a killer 3 track EP which sees them on fine form and with their classic sound mixing up crunchy disco drums, warm analogue synths and punchy bass lines to make you move. Opening track Rhythm sets the pace with a loopy, uptempo filter house track which takes you straight to the dance floor. Reminding us of that classic DJ Q sound of the late 90’s the fellow Scotsmen let things roll, the one bar re peating bass sample hooking you in whilst dubbed out FX add a trippy touch. Next up things go nice and deep on Truth with a repeating piano sample tak ing centre stage whilst trademark 6BP vocals filter in and out of the mix. Later on we’re treated to some classic Philly strings which lift the track, adding a euphoric element to this pensive yet uplifting little groover. Rounding off the EP things go deeper still on Keep On, a subtle, mid tempo house chugger which will set the tone perfectly in any warm up set worth its salt whilst maintaining that distinctive warm and musical 6th Borough flavour we know and love.

Part two of 6th Borough Project’s ‘Find Your Rhythm’ remixed EPs sees OOFT, Frederick, Haku, The James L'Estraunge Orchestra all provide new takes on these much-loved tracks.
Stepping up first, OOFT reimagines ‘Bad News’, opting to portray a deeper tone to his version compared to the Scandinavian disco feel of the original. Revolving the track around a prominent, rumbling bass synth yet maintaining an undeniably bouncing, dancefloor groove. Following this, Fredrick takes to ‘Right Next Time’, moulding it into a big room powerhouse. Laced with dream inducing arps and a hardy topline, tied together with an undulating bass that resonates within the belly of the track.
On the B side, Haku steps up with a Dub version of ‘Release’ reworking the bassy afro stylings into a gritty, lo-fi 4x4 beat. The modulated synth stabs interlink with a punchy acid line whilst the rhythmic vocal exhalations add an ethereal touch to proceedings.
Last of the remixes, the spacey dub makeup of ‘Back Where It All Began’ gets flipped by the The James L’Estraunge Orchestra, beautifully rescoring the track into an orchestral masterpiece. It slowly builds and builds till it opens up into an incredible DnB infused, jazz closer that will leave the bodies begging for more.

6th Borough Project are back with the follow up to their 2011 debut One Night In The Borough. A hectic couple of years have been lived out by Graeme Clark and Craig Smith during the making of this LP with Graeme continuing to play week in and week out as Revenge and setting up his new imprint Roar Groove whilst Craig has established the brilliant Fifty Fathoms Deep label. Studio time has been tight to say the least but that hasn't stopped the duo from pulling out all the stops and ensuring that this LP surpasses the already sky-high benchmark set by it's predecessor. Followers of 6th Borough Project will be pleased to hear that all the low-slung, loopy, hypnotic vibes we've come to expect are present and correct whilst the duo have still made sure to push things forward with their sound, bringing a minimalist, housier edge to many tracks. Things kick off with the Intro setting the mood, coming on like a bizarre dream that's over in a flash but seems to include an entire episode of your life and succeeds in encapsulating the sentiment of the entire LP in 40 seconds! Soul, Beach, City, Gig, Party, Energy, Relaxation.... It's all here. On Our Love we find a brilliantly lop-sided shuffling groove laying the foundation for some classic 6BP-style vocal chops, easing us in gently with the warm up vibes. Things take a slightly darker direction on U Know U with this heads-down track, a crisp, stripped-back beat being joined by filtering pads and a distant vocal for company. Think It Over and In Your Arms follow seeing the boys building things perfectly and increasing the party atmosphere with two floor-friendly tracks which look set to be just a couple of the DJ's favorites from the LP. Dropping things down a notch we're treated to the beautiful slow-mo gem entitled Through The Night before heading deeper still on the tripped out, dark and dubby The Call Back. Back 2 Black picks up the tempo again for a percussion heavy workout with just a hint of Africa emerging through the echoing stabs and sub bass. The party continues with Read My Mind which brings us some brooding, up-tempo warehouse vibes to get immersed in before F.E.E.L and a brand new LP version of previous single The Vibes pushes further still in a darker, more abstract and clubby mood. Finally, we wind down with Walk Away, making the perfect close for a brilliant, fresh and original LP from a highly talented couple of producers whose passion and knowledge of music shines brightly here. Difficult second LP clearly not an issue with 6th Borough Project!

6th Borough Project are all set to release the follow up to their 2011 debut LP One Night In The Borough at the start of March. A hectic couple of years have been lived out by Graeme Clark and Craig Smith during the making of their Borough 2 Borough LP with Graeme continuing to play week in and week out as Revenge and setting up his new imprint Roar Groove whilst Craig has established the brilliant Fifty Fathoms Deep label. Studio time has been tight to say the least but that hasn’t stopped the duo from pulling out all the stops and ensuring that this LP surpasses the already sky-high benchmark set by it’s predecessor. As a taster for the LP we present you with this sampler single containing three gems that’ll whet your appetite and leave you gagging for more! Kicking off we have In Your Arms which sees the duo deliver some classic 6BP business with a party-starting house track laced with Philly strings and a heavy dose of soul. Next up things take a slightly darker direction on U Know U with this heads-down track incorporating a crisp, stripped-back beat joined by filtering pads and a distant vocal for company. Flip over for Read My Mind which brings some deep and brooding warehouse vibes to the table. This is the sound of 6th Borough Project doing techno with just a hint of 909 ride adding to the layers of bouncing stabs and off-kilter vocals. More

6th Borough Project make a welcome return to D.O.G following last years mighty debut LP One Night In The Borough.The Vibes EP kicks off with what must certainly be the Borough's most dark n' dirty track to date! If it's big, bad basslines you're into then this should definitely do the trick. Low-slung disco beats provide the backbone and trademark clipped vocal and orchestral string hits punctuate the track with the result being an ear-grabbing slice of warehouse funk that will leave you reeling. Next up we have a remix from more talented UK young blood probably not known to his mum as Chicago Damn. With just a select few releases to his name this one-man power house of twisted, forward-looking house is starting to cause a stir and deservedly so, with tracks and remixes on labels such as Mark E's Merc, Quintessentials, Let's Play House and Wolf Music. On his remix of The Vibes he pushes the sonic boundaries of what we expect from a deep house track with ear-splitting highs and eye-wobbling lows. Stripped back to the raw elements and keeping things loose and simple Chicago Damn succeeds in bringing his own unique sound to the table and producing a standout track that we hope you enjoy as much as we do. On the flip side we have a second original from 6BP in the form of Just A New Day and what a beauty this one is. Once again, the boys manage to rustle up the best drums, most hypnotic string loops and another badboy bassline to move to. It's a long time coming but when the blissful break drops and the bassline properly kicks in it's clear we're listening to a new chapter in the development of the 6th Borough Project sound.

If you've been following Graeme Clark in his solo disguise as The Revenge or the stream of 6th Borough Project 12-inches leading up to this one, you should know what to expect here?deep, blissfully hypnotic sampledelia with track flows governed by the laws of extreme repetition. It's a shame that "trance" means a particular subgenre of electronic music, because that term applies just as much to the effects of these tracks as anything Tiësto's ever played. Given the space, Clark and Craig Smith are able to utilize this formula over a broad musical spectrum, creating music in the full-fledged sense, one that traces a landscape of tempos, styles and emotions and a menagerie of resurrected sounds conjures up images of dusty record shops and tattered vinyl, musical spirits captured on wax. Awesome! More

6th Borough Project make a welcome return to Delusions Of Grandeur to deliver their debut LP entitled One Night In The Borough. As well as a CD the album is being released as 3 individual singles plus a limited edition triple coloured vinyl pack. Here we have the final single in the series of 3 including four brand new full-length cuts from the album. More proof of 6th Boroughs’ ability to ignite dancefloors comes in the form of The Fool which is fully loaded with funk and an unbridled energy which peaks with a huge vocal led breakdown that'll both please and surprise the crowd. B.U.R.T (Inside) follows with a slightly darker edge not really heard before on 6th Borough productions. The Detroit stabs, ?Inside' spoken word and seriously stripped back approach make sure there’s plenty of room for the track to breathe and pump nicely on a bigger system. Endless Nights on the flip conjures up feelings of exactly that, the kind of afterparty tune you can listen to time and time again and one which will inject new found energy with heartening chords and the deepest beats to even the most tired of legs. Finally, Let Yourself Go offers up a beatless track using layers of echoing chords and dub FX to create a little slice of balearica on wax.

To celebrate Fifty Fathoms Deeps 2nd year of pressing we asked some of our favourite producers to remix a selection of cuts from our back catalogue and as expected they've all come up trumps! The EP opens with Fouk boys riding the groove on their remix of Ugly Drums Don't Let Life (Passing By) then Thatmanmonkz goes left of centre with his reimagining of Phil Asher feat James Massiahs Move Ya Self. On the flip New Zealand's Frank Booker comes correct on his take of Lay-Fars Triptych to round off a great package. The EP is a fitting way to mark another year of quality music from Fifty Fathoms Deep. More
