Established in 2008 by #Complex and aided by badboy selector #DJTwista, #Good4NothingRecords has spent over a decade committing itself to the drum & bass community, something which hasn’t gone unnoticed by its far-reaching fan base. And the duo has pushed boundaries, proving their ability to do so over a host of imprints, including ‘#NothingLong’ where they released music from #MackyGee, #NuElementz, #Guv, #Turno, #Jayline and more. With releases from #Jayline, #DJGuv and #MackyGee also gracing the #Good4Nothing back catalogue, there’s an array of tastes which have been catered for throughout its journey. And to commemorate its ascent within the dance music genre over the last decade, they’re about to release a colossal compilation which defines what #Good4NothingRecords represents to the wider drum & bass world.
The track listing for ’#10YearsofGood4NothingPart1’ is a weighty one and already receiving support from #MackyGee, #MollieCollins on #KissFM, #NuElementz, #ModifiedMotion, #EgoTrippin, #Basslayerz and #Rowney & #Propz. Set to drop in August it’s the first part of the series, featuring artists who’ve carved a sizeable place for #Good4Nothing throughout both the collections of music listeners and the club circuit. With tracks from the head honcho himself, as well as #DJTwista, #FilthyHabits, #IronLung, #JacktheRipper and more, there’s a range of talent throughout but not once does the compilation lose its dancefloor edge or bow down to commercial viability.
‘#WhatMakesUsStrong’ from #Complex is the first of fifteen tracks, a thumping standalone offering from the producer which is followed by the rolling sounds of #FilthyHabits & #Jeopardize’s ‘#Crossfire’ and the #Slipz rework of #Complex’s ‘#AskFrank’. #Dutta comes through next with his pounding remix of #Complex’s ‘#SneakAttack’, whilst #DJTwista’s ‘#MagneticField’ follows with its honed hooks and #Ironlung’s ‘#Creation’ continues the carnage. #JacktheRipper’s ‘#ItsNotaGame’ features the tell-tale signature which has made the producer so infamous across dancefloors, whilst #NicktheLot’s ‘#Mushroom’ and #Danger & #Yatuza’s ‘#Underground’ keeps the bar high. #Jeopardize’s ‘#OntheGrind’, #2N’s ‘#Suicidal’, #SilverFox’s ‘#IAm’ and #Ovadose’s ‘#ILL’ alongside #Spooka begin to wrap up the album, with each cut delivering a seismic blow. Then finally, #Complex & #DubBerzerka’s ‘#Cyborg’ is twisted on its head by #Complex with his expertly manufactured VIP and #MetalWork’s ‘#Hallucinations’ with its carefully grooved bassline. It’s a formidable package with the second edition ready for release, which only goes to redefine just how imperative #Good4Nothing has become.
