10 Years of Rhythm Section International - Various Artists

Rhythm Section International, the impossible-to-define label founded in South East London by Bradley Zero in 2014 has reached the ripe old age of ten years. Funny thing is, it feels like it could have been almost double that. It's hard to imagine the Landscape of the London music scene without this foundational force whose influence is felt more than ever. With this special anniversary release, the label takes stock at this milestone to present a compilation in three parts: Past, Re-Imagined, and Future, to honor the label's tradition of always paying homage to what has come before while setting sights firmly forwards. With 100-odd releases in their extended back catalogue covering every imaginable style and boasting influence in every inhabited continent on earth, it's been quite a decade for the independent label, which began on a shoestring budget with funds made via the now legendary Rhythm Section pool hall parties in Peckham.

From humble beginnings to an era defining output - few would have predicted the slow and steady rise of the imprint and the impact it has had on generations of DJ's, musicians and listeners -- at home and abroad. Spanning six discs and 30 tracks, the compilation begins by presenting one track from each year of the labels output -- highlighting some forgotten classics from the archives over the first two discs. For discs three and four, the label invited its stable of artists to pick a track from the back catalogue to re-imagine in their own style. This process resulted in some incredibly playful contributions from the likes of Ruf Dug, Session Victim, and Private Joy -- whose playful reinterpretations add new depth to old material. Finally, the last two discs are entirely new material for 2024, carrying the torch of the previous SHOUTS compilations -- whose sole aim is to shine light on new music from emerging artists.
