MTG or Monkey Tennis Group is an idea to mix and record at least three tracks (or whatever you can fit into 15ish minutes) leaving the last track to run to the end; then pick, and ask, a dj you think will join in to continue the mix. This original concept was thought about by Neil Thompson/BREAKNECK and showcases artists from all around the world that are into any form of breakbeat music.

Check out MTG's Soundcloud group page below for all the mixes so far.

Starting off in the music industry as a drummer in his teens, Andy was playing regularly in his native Scotland, when he got interested in electronic dance music and production. After a few years of crude production, he widened his skills to encompass DJing, coming of age just as the Big Beat explosion was hitting down, and began playing regularly in his adopted home of Derby. As the years went on and Big Beat became Nu Skool Breaks, Andy kept his finger on the pulse running nights in and around Derby and regularly getting guest DJs from around the country to play at his ‘Ground Level’ nights.

At the end of 2006, the steady flow of tracks being given to him by guest DJs gave him an idea, to provide an outlet for this music, and so Ground Level Records was born. Not knowing anything about running a record label, everything was a process of trial and error, the only motto was that no corners where cut, the vinyl records would be cut by the best guys, the remixes by the hottest talent and the artwork accompanying the release would be fresh and innovative, making sure a product came out that oozed quality. This seemed to do the trick, and by January 2008, 10 releases in, Ground Level was nominated as best Breakthrough label at the International Breakbeat Awards, Breakspoll.

Now with over 70 releases in the catalogue Ground Level is preparing to celebrate it's 7th Birthday this July. Artists on the label include DJ Hero, Fisso & Spark, Beatsmack and Rebel Sketchy and the label's music has attracted listens and spins from DJs outside of the breaks scene from Laurent Garnier to MJ Cole! The music policy of Ground Level is music with a broken beat and an underground feel, and this manifesto has carved the label a following that far exceeds the niche of breakbeat.

Andy hosts the monthly Ground Level Podcast on iTunes, as well as playing at Ground Level nights up and down the country, and has played with many of the big players in the breaks and bass music scenes including Plump DJs, Stanton Warriors, Drumattic Twins, Foamo, Jack Beats and Calvertron.

Brand new for 2014 is the first EP from DJ Hero's forthcoming album 'Don't Say the B Word' form Ground Level Records

We start with The Big Room, it does exactly what it says on the tin, a main room filler that you may have already heard on DJ Hero's guest mix for Lady Waks, or on his guest edition of the Ground Level podcast.

On the digital flip is Bombs Away, another track engineered for peak time performance, combining cut up vocals, deep 808 kicks , rave-stabs and euphoric chords all joined together by DJ Hero's distinctive musical glue.
