I've always tried to make music for clubs and outward facing experiences, but often in spite of my best efforts I end up supplying a sound that translates best on a private level. The communal listening experience is great, but not my favorite, never been. I have been escaping into albums on a solo mission for as long as I can remember. As a result I've developed a familiar closeness with dealing with myself and the emotions I navigate on a daily basis. Heaven is for Quitters is at it's heart about dealing with yourself, both the good and the bad. I want to share this album with the hope that it can be used as I have; a guide, a blanket, a reassurance that the path I have chosen is the right one. It is my job to share my experience and there is a lot of work to be done here on Earth, the thought of going to Heaven too early is paralyzing. I venture to think you'll agree. When I started Blueberry Records I didn't fully know what I was creating. It is fitting then that I release Heaven is for Quitters on my label, as it has become abundantly clear how much I love this label and what it is and can be, my future but ultimately continue to be a platform for others as well. When artists hand me their demos I see what Blueberry can be, this megaphone for peoples inner existence and a clear channel for their articulation. You know that feeling when you are so close to something you can't see the bigger picture, but when you step back you see what you have made and it is a mirror image of yourself? That. This album is for those who've chosen their own path and all of its uncertainty and end up finding themselves along the way. How the roller coaster of life sounds. It is about Blueberry Records as much as it is about my daily life. I am thankful everyday for opportunity, both granted and created. Follow your own inner light. And please, please listen loudly. * I make music to the specifications of my studio. It honestly all sounds best right here. And even better at one spot at the mixing desk in particular. You should come over and hear it. More

The prolific FaltyDL (Planet Mu / Ninja Tune) delivers a beautiful new ‘spy-flick in a 10 inch’ via Ninja Tune. The shimmering jungle-juke roll of side A’s ‘Danger’ conjures frenetic chases, while the creeping purr of B side ‘King Brute’ features Shanghai Den. This 10” comes in an original Ninja Tune yellow and black housebag - the first of its kind in 10” form.

Kitted out in the finest of old skool, trad Ninja livery, here comes the new single from Drew Lustman aka FaltyDL. Designed squarely for the dancefloor, the two tracks catch hold of you and never let go. “Hardcourage” starts off ostensibly four to the floor before working in enough subtle rhythmic drive to satisfy the most ardent polyrhythmagist. Dub influences abutted with jazz swing and rave insistence, FaltyDL makes the hard work of getting you moving look easy. “Our House Stab” continues at a similar tempo and with a melancholy feel which resolves into such a jackalicious groove that shape-making is all but guaranteed.

Last summer, four years after Loefah first floated the idea of a Mickey Pearce album, Mickey sat down to write a mixtape of loops - a sequel to 2014's 'Up West' - but found himself in new, melancholic territory. Less than three months later 'Michael' was written. Ahead of the radio premiere of 'August', Mickey told Mary Anne Hobbs

Dubstep and garage pioneer Zed Bias is set to release a brand new album, titled Boss, on November 25th fourth in total following releases under aliases including Maddslinky and Phuturistix, and his first for the label. Boss also marks Swamp81’s second ever album release following Kryptic Minds’ One of Us. Zed Bias is widely regarded as one of the legends in the bass music game and beyond, with an unquestionable influence on many of today’s leading DJs and producers including Skream, Benga, Oneman, Martyn and Disclosure whose chart smash ‘Latch’ featuring Sam Smith he remixed in 2012. A prolific producer, his body of work – including 2000’s ‘Neighbourhood’ which is now hailed as one of the all time UK Garage tracks and saw a remix from Roska in 2009 – has seen regular rotation from the likes of Annie Mac, Benji B, Toddla T, Mary Anne Hobbs and Gilles Peterson, particularly in recent years with the resurgence of the 2-step sound. The 10 track Boss sees Jones go deeper than previous releases, delivering a modern meditation on house music crafted from, in his own words, “many late night conversations with Loefah, Chunky and Roy Davis Jr about music and our inspirations; from Chicago house and Detroit techno, to dub reggae and 80's boogie.” Indeed Swamp81 MC/producer Chunky and Chicago legend Roy Davis Jr both feature on the record for stand out moments on ‘Flamm’ and ‘We Are There’ respectively. “It's been good to reflect,” Jones continues, “and come back with a new attitude in 2013.”
