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.
Key Releases:
Bushbaby - Woman’s Touch
Movement & Moony - Late Night
Movement & Rio - Make A Move
Cortese - Intersection
Drax - Frostie
Southpoint Presents Vol. 8
Skelecta - Faith / At Your Table
KXVU - The Cave
Review: Well, it was only a matter of time before this one came together as Earthnut's recent run of form continues with a long awaited debut Southpoint EP. Having released some of the most popular UKG tracks of the past few years, the STPT team invite the creativity of this fantastic production duo to run wild across three scorchers, beginning with the glitchy arpeggios and hard hitting horn stabs of 'Sea Anomaly'. Next, we move into the alien-like chord shifts and digital atmospheric designs of 'Estrella Breath', before rounding up our journey through this one with the aquatic melodies and sweeping LFO textures of 'Maybe So Really'. Incredible stuff!
