Sector 7 Sounds, the Bristol-born label helmed by producer and DJ Boofy (who started the DIY imprint alongside fellow artist Lemzly Dale), is marking 10 years in the game this year.
Setting out to create something of their own, which they could build up authentically via link-ups with their producer network and speaker-rumbling excursions through grime, dubstep and other bass-rooted mutations unique to the city, their goals were achieved pretty early on, and in noteworthy fashion.
This summer, the label released an anniversary compilation, 10/10, that took stock of its past and present, and hinted at its future. For our latest Crack Mix, Boofy – who is now based in London – reflects some more, in seamless, practised mix format. “I tried to encapsulate what style and journey of music I love to play in sets, but also what direction Sector 7 is heading in,” he says. “My tastes have grown and changed over the years naturally, so it almost feels like I’m reintroducing myself. Boofy 2.0.”
