Celebrating 10 years pushing real 140, Sector 7 Sounds presents an
eight-deep compilation which shouts for where Boofy’s label has been,
where it’s at and where it’s heading in the future. Split between
original tracks from close-quarters crew and up and comers, and remixes
of classics from the label’s archives, 10/10 distils the label’s
fundamentals in a double 12” drop loaded with system-ready weight and
invention in every bar.
Rather than a vanity vehicle for his own output, Boofy set up Sector 7
in 2013 with artwork and some early beats provided by long-time sparring
partner Lemzly Dale. The mission was to build out a label which pushed
the sounds Boofy was drawn to in the club, pivoting around 140 and
dubstep-influences but crucially always shot through with flair and
spark rather than trying to retread old ground. That mission holds true
10 years in, with frequent flyers like Jook and Drone flanked by
memorable, ear-snagging turns from the likes of Hi5 Ghost, Kahn &
Neek and Commodo.
The distinctive qualities of all the tracks on 10/10 is the result of a
purposeful drive by Boofy to present standout moments. As 140 has
matured over time, Sector 7 remains committed to offering more than just
faithful genre studies. Every selection, assembled with
care over a two-year period, is a reflection of Boofy’s impassioned
approach as a DJ. In widening the scope for the remix disc, he’s making
clear he wants the label to grow without losing touch with the sonic
foundations they first started building on. Sharp-eared heads already
knew Sector 7 was a must-check for the freshest 140 styles, and their
faith has been justified ten-fold on this expertly executed collection.
