BB #663 | Ender | Lush Mile | Seahorse & Castle
——
A key benefit of recruiting Selectors from across Europe is the insight gained into local talent. “We have a strong house and techno scene here in Finland. Here’s a new one from the North, where polar bears walk on the streets…” says Trev.
BB #662 | Gerry Read | Crave | Fourth Wave
——
Some raw fare from the man Gerry Read’s latest EP on Fourth Wave, Ramp Recordings’ ever inventive sub-label. Gerry takes his live show to Fabric on June 1st (the day before his EP is set to drop), alongside Will Saul, Appleblim and Lone for an Aus Music takeover of Room 2.

BB #661 | Walt J | Magic Love | Professional Records
——
We’re delighted to welcome another fantastic label to our core ‘Selector’ stable. Director James Sheerin, otherwise known as J’Shez, will henceforth be tipping on behalf of City Fly Records. First up? A deep, melodic jam from 96.
BB #660 | Kahwe | Want It | Transmission Audio Recordings
——
Joe Cowie, aka Kahwe, is another in the long list of production talent to emerge from Leeds. He holds a slot on the Transmission Collective’s new split EP, alongside Maru and Wolf Cub. One to keep in your sights as the year progresses.
BB #659 | Sisterhood | Call Me Ishmael | Tief Music
——
We’ve got some entirely fantastic BB incest going on, up in here. Park Ranger, our original selector, tips the debut release on new label Tief Music - an imprint founded by none other than Hesseltime, one of our more recent recruits.

BB #658 | Appleblim | Flourescent | Apple Pips
——
Appleblim drops us a timely reminder, in CAPITALS, that he’s still a force to be reckoned with on the scene. This one prompts involuntary arm-pumping, like that time you had an arousing dream about being an ice road trucker.

BB #657 | Bad Boy Bill | Are You The One? (Dub Mix) | International House
——
James Welsh graces us with another superlative selection, this time reaching back to 1987, Bad Boy Bill and the birth of the Chicago acid house scene. Jimmy graces the Jack Music agency launch party in Bristol on June 15th. Don’t miss.
BB #656 | Ohm | Tribal Tone (Marquis Hawkes Remix) | Unknown To The Unknown
——
Originally released in 1992, Tribal Tone was one of the first to incorporate ‘that Korg M1 sound’, since replicated on an infinite number of house tunes. Here, Marquis Hawkes rolls out a raw edit as part of a celebratory 2013 remaster.
BB #655 | Low Key | Rainforest | Serious Grooves
——
If one could gain a qualification in ‘the history of house/disco/techno music,’ judging by the Voyeurhythm management’s selections, thus far, one wouldn’t mind if they were guest lecturers. Here, Ben Sun hands us a lesson from 1992.
BB #654 | Close | Beam Me Up (George Fitzgerald Remix) | !k7
——
Close, Will Saul’s latest venture, is making all the right noises. This hard-edged edit by Fitzgerald nicked it, which is some accolade considering the ‘Beam Me Up’ EP also contains excellent reworks by Scuba + Hercules & Love Affair.
BB #653 | Joey Anderson | Press Play | Latency
——
Flori tips Joey Anderson, this week, and the mesmeric A-side from his new EP on Latency Recordings. Our man’s European travels continue this w/end - he’s in Bratislava tonight with Covert Interests and hits Vienna tomorrow.
BB #652 | Move D | To The Disco ‘77 | Electric Minds
——
The masterful Move D secures another slot in the BB archive with yet further evidence (as if it were required) of his genius. Coming soon on Electric Minds, this one is so smooth it hurts - like peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth.
