We’ve got something really special here: Slugabed‘s label Activia Benz (yes, named after the probiotic yogurt) has just put out its first compilation as a free download and the future is looking bright for the Activia Benz crew. With much of the attention of the future bass world shifted towards Australia and the US at the moment, its good to see innovators in the UK like Slugabed nurturing their own unique future bass scenes and proving a platform for artists like Deech,  DJ DJ Booth, and Silkersoft. From Activia Benz:

Activia Frenz Vol. 1 is the first in a series of compilations from the yung record label / beer drinking collective Activia Benz (and their Frenz). It brings together some of the original Activia dons from previous releases such as Eloq, Taste Tester, Slugabed and Deech and stirs in some fresh meat in the form of Silkersoft, DZA, DJ Warlord and more! It’s a real journey. From the bangers to the clangers it has it all. It’s got rap style club things and one-take analogue techno. It’s got Rewrote doing a grime! It’s got 4bidden with some deep space R’n’B or something. It’s really nice and we like it and it’s a lil signal of some things soon to come from Activia Benz so stayed tuned, gang!

You can go ahead and stream all 12 tracks here or download the compilation through the Activia Benz bandcamp. We’re going to have to keep an eye on these guys, this might be the next big thing. Much love Activia Benz crew!
