Reel People Music breaks new ground, in more ways than one, with the launch of fresh compilation series Broken, Deep & Dope. A spin-off from acclaimed compilation brand Soulful, Deep & Dope – introduced back in 2015 – this new series sees the much-loved independent imprint pushing further at the boundaries of soulful music. All with that customary Reel People feeling. 

Broken, Deep & Dope 2024, the series’ first instalment, unleashes 20 superlative examples of the soulful ‘bruk’ (broken beat), nu beat and nu jazz sound that has so innovatively informed contemporary dancefloors around the world since its inception back in late Nineties West London. Bringing together classic cuts from the Reel People Music stable (including those by Daz-I-Kue, Monkey Brothers and Reel People) and key productions from some of its closest affiliates and biggest inspirations (such as Vikter Duplaix, Jazzanova, Bugz In The Attic, Kaidi Tatham, and Sean McCabe), this white-hot selection nips and tucks beautifully between stuttered Latin and Afro rhythms, deep house-edged jams and soaring flights of soul-jazz fancy. 
30/70’s opener Acceptance was only released in January and, remixed by Ziggy Zeitgeist and Goodmood, delivers crisp, upbeat, sax-y flow that is wholly reflective of the feel-good vibes across the wider release. Bugz In The Attic’s remix of Reel People feat. Darien Dean’s Upside guides smooth vocals and pads over snappy beats with playful aplomb, and Afronaut’s ascendant take on Alison David’s Dreams sees singer (and crowd) pushing that urgent, infectious percussion every step of the way.
