2022 has been another year of consistent quality music from BBE. The fantastic J Jazz series rolls on with 5 releases this year, whilst we have also issued highly sought after Jazz re- presses from Norway and Germany, both of which have been fetching insane prices via online collectors. BBE also released an album from the legendary composer and artist Brian Jackson who received Worldwide fm’s lifetime achievement award this year.
2022 has also seen a return to the dancefloors and to festivals for many in this post- pandemic world. We Out Here being a particular highlight. Jazzanova delivered delightful recreations of some Strata Records classics.
Two Soul Fusion ( Josh Milan & Louie Vega) remixes of Brian Jackson and MF Robots are must haves for the discerning house music DJs. Boddhi Satva also provides some strong Afro beat dancefloor fillers from his masterpiece album ‘Manifestation’.
Alina Bzhezhinska & HipHarpCollective also made their debut on BBE Music this year with the wonderful album ‘Reflections’. Pépé Bradock and Âme stepped up their remix game for J Dilla’s classic track B.B.E.
With over 20 tracks of real music for real people - Staff Selections delivers more of what you’ve come to know and love from BBE Music.
Thank you for all your support this year; if you’ve bought a record or two, streamed our music or been fortunate enough to attend our historical instore events, we appreciate your support as always. We hope to see you in 2023 and beyond.
