‘Bun Dem Down’ is the end product of another collaborative effort from two of the labels most diverse artists coming together on their first love - Dubstep. Hamdi serves up a eastern inspired instrumental with Logan's highly recognisable flow and ragga vocals to deliver a track we expect to cause excessive amounts of damage in the underground raves post COVID.

Like Bomma and Prizma, Hamdi is making his second appearance on the label this year with his first coming on the last GRM release back in March giving the label its most successful instrumental to date. ‘Raw’ really was a sign of how far he has come in the last two and a half years since his first 1Forty release, with it being clear to hear how he’s refined his signature sound to get his productions club ready for the top tier artists proven by the lengthy support from Sicaria Sound and Hatcha this year.

Growing up listening to a lot of Grime and Dubstep it’s not hard to see the path Hamdi has taken firstly as a producer and secondly as an MC. In the last 24 months the Oxford born producer has gone on to release his own series of freestyle videos entitled ‘Bars’ all of which have amassed tens of thousands of views across socials whilst still having the likes of Novelist, Prez T, Managa, Capo Lee, Coco and a number of other artists regularly spitting over his beats on radio sets. Support has come from the likes of Sir Spyro, Spooky and Jack Dat amongst others as well as outside the 140 spectrum from the likes of EZ, My Nu Leng, Flava D, Conducta and more. Only a couple of months ago Hamdi was drawing wheel ups from Plastician on deck alongside Razor on mic and it's not often in this generation you see an artist be as strong with the mic as on the DAW, that being said we may have another Jammz on our hands but more diverse with releases across flagship labels including Kiwi Rekords (Conducta), Hatched Music (Hatcha), Wang Records and Southpoint.

Logan returns to 1Forty with a second consecutive Dubstep vocal (excluding the VIP release on 3 Years Of 1Forty). ‘Evil Side’ saw Logan team up with 9TRANE for a hard hitting dubstep anthem, following on from one of the UKG hits of the year in ‘Worthwhile’ alongside Murder He Wrote at the end of last year, which smashed its way into Spotify’s ‘New Music Friday’ editorial playlist on release day as well as Rinse FM’s A-List Playlist over the Christmas period, and receiving a whole host of support across the BBC from Toddla T, Mary Anne Hobbs, Jamz Supernova and more.

2019 really saw Logan come into his own as both an artist and an MC, being picked up for LOTM8 by Jammer paired with a string of high profile releases making him without doubt one of the most versatile names of the next generation. With releases across MoreTime Records, with Kouslin on Durkle Disco and Idris Elba’s ‘Yardie Mixtape’ respectively says all you need to know. There are also honourable mentions for tracks ‘Like Me’ with Treble Clef and ‘Ready Fi Di War’ with Trends both of which gained significant traction across the BBC, Rinse & Reprezent also. Making himself a Grime Originals mainstay and being one of the most active names at Outlook Festival shelling down boat parties and stages alike throughout the week further aided his rise. Then of course Logan rounded off a stellar year with his debut 1Forty release ‘Worthwhile’. 2020 has been relatively quiet since ‘Evil Side’ because of the pandemic restricting recording sessions however the relaunch of Mode FM in September has seen him rack up a ridiculous number of appearances on sets already making his work rate clear to see for all.
