Southpoint

In 2015, Josh Gunston and Jay McDougall (also known as KXVU, pronounced ‘kovu’) joined forces to create ‘Southpoint’ – a record label centred around their motivation for promoting local and lesser-known talent and dedication to reviving their hometown of Brighton’s fading dance music scene.
Since the label's formation, it has gone on to become one of the most celebrated platforms across the entirety of underground dance music in the UK & worldwide, becoming one of the pioneering entities behind large segments of both the UK bass and garage movements of the last few years.
With a catalogue spanning the full spectrum of the UK underground and an artist roster spanning as wide as any major label, Southpoint has emerged as a genuine innovator across the endless corridors of underground dance music. The Southpoint imprint has gone to expand it’s operations and now boasts numerous sub-labels, including Chord & Clank, Inertia, Annecy Records & more.

Review: Experimental and floating UKG in the house thanks to tracks by Horge and ADMRL via the Southpoint label. Horge kicks the EP off with a bleeping and blooping "Extraction" with it's subtle Asiatic motifs alongside "Don't You" from ADMRL - delivering some carnivalesque, estranged garage that pitches the vocals and go cray cray on the synths. Hot hype!

Chopped Up Charlie - (4:54) 140 BPM Hot
Cotto & Jyc. - "M1 Massive" - (5:42) 136 BPM
Review: The Southpoint crew are back in business with another two-tracker display of UKG mastery, continuing to expand their roster with the most exciting new names in garage. This time around, they have enlisted the fantastic sounds of Cotto, a producer with a point to prove as 'Chopped Up Charlie' firstly delivers a sizzling gut-punch of quirky melodic tweaks, sumptuous sub pulses and tidy 4x4 drum work, opening up the EP with a bang. On the flip to this, Jyc. gets involved for a more old-school influenced display, with 'M1 Massive' kicking off the dance with nostalgia-inducing piano chords and vocal sweeps. It's a top notch introduction to the production prowess of Cotto as Southpoint continue their top quality run.

Ur Love / Void
Ur Love - (5:22) 137 BPM Hot
Void - (6:50) 139 BPM
Review: Southpoint's top quality run continues with this vibrant new two tracker as they continue to expand their collective and gather even more strength within the UKG space. This time around they welcome the wicked sounds of Yves to the table, delivering a scintillating pair of warbling 4x4 bubblers, with the hard hitting sub pressures of 'Ur Love' arriving with a real bang to begin with. On the flip side to this 'Void' picks up the pace to a more 140-sounding approach, again utilising hard hitting sub sweeps and jittering vocal switchups to provide a very vibrant B-side. With festival season now coming to a close, it's clear that the Southpoint train shows no signs of slowing down.

Review: The run of releases that the Southpoint crew have been able to put together over the course of 2023 has been nothing short of miraculous, with the Brighton-based heavyweights continuing to explore the garage spectrum, this time unveiling a new artist to the collective in Kells. He delivers two potent bumpers, with 'Racer' firstly providing a smooth combination of groovy organ melodies and acidic bass tweaks, all within a vibrant 4x4 drumline. On the flip to this we then check out the more fidgety designs of 'Red Cheeks', which takes breathy vocal samples and eye opening piano lines to create a truly original take on the 2-step formula. Top notch as ever.

Countdown / In My Arms
Countdown - (4:15) 136 BPM Hot
In My Arms - (4:16) 138 BPM
Review: The pace with which the Southpoint crew have been unloading exceptional new material has been truly something to behold, seeing them combine their already seasoned roster with exciting newcomers on a regular basis. This time around, their front-running flag-flyer Bushbaby lands with two speed-garage influenced weapons, sure to convert dances into zoos up and down the country. First up, the gut punching sub pulses and choppy drum work of 'Countdown' roll into play, giving us a combination of nostalgia and euphoria as the track progresses. On the flip, 'In My Arms' delivers a secondary sub-driven slap, this time focussing more on LFO-style synth design and more vocal melody for a tidy B-side

Burnin' - (6:12) 134 BPM Hot
Review: With the Southpoint brand continuing to grow across both it's hometown of Brighton and around the rest of the UK, they have invited one of their most exciting duos back inside for a powerful two-track punch, exploring the perfect middle ground between hard hitting breaks and glittering garage flavour. We begin with the jittering vocal jolts and stunning melodic infusions of 'One Day', a super vibrant bounce that allows the Cortese combination to show off their most unique production approaches. On the flip, moogy bass melts and spacious pads lead the way, topped off with more fabulous work as 'Burnin' arrives as a fabulous B-side, giving us a sense of breaksy perspective and also rounding out the project in style!

Review: In the near 6 years Southpoint has been up and operational, we have seen them constantly supply us with wicked compilation sets, always looking to showcase the next big talent whilst also welcoming back their stacked roster for another outing. The collection they have pulled together for this latest drop is pretty powerful, with label regulars Cortese, Daze Prism, TVU, Drax, Earthnut, Hamdi, Jakebob, Kiddah, EM-Roe & KXVU all making solid contributions. They also welcome the likes of Demure, DV-US & Vital Techniques back inside, following on from some very exciting single drops, whilst also introducing us to one of the stars of the future in Clarcq, a Scottish UKG producer whose infectiously uplifting 'Siren' leads the way here. Excellent work once again.
