Deep drum & bass label Broken Audio recently released a digital compilation called Raise The Bar, we spoke to them about it and what we can expect from them in 2011...
Tell us more about Raise The Bar...
The album is made up of some of the scene's newcomers and a handful of artists already making big moves in the industry.
What's the thinking behind the name?
The album title is a reflection of us at Broken Audio, the management and all the artists on the label, as we have come some way in a short period of time, upping our game so to speak.
How did you go about choosing the artists and tracks on it?
Choosing the tracks for the compilation has been an incredible journey with so much good music coming down the line. It was a tough decision selecting the final 19 tracks but myself and fellow partners DBRUK felt it all gelled together nicely.
