Ahead of the release of the “Brainfeeder X” compilation celebrating the label’s tenth anniversary (including a beautiful 4LP box set designed by Charles Munka) on 16 November 2018, Brainfeeder drop a brand new track from recent signee Ross from Friends. The British producer released his debut album “Family Portrait” earlier this year and is currently in the midst of a worldwide headline live tour. New cut ‘Squaz’ was tailor made for the compilation: a low key but legit dancefloor bomb that encapsulates all of the attributes that made Flying Lotus want to sign him to Brainfeeder. Also included on the compilation is a brand new Ross from Friends’ remix of Thundercat’s ‘Friend Zone’.

For the last ten years, Brainfeeder has reminded the world that the future is only as far away as it needs to be. It’s less a label than an international conspiracy to conquer clichéd sounds, a glowing neon helix re-organizing the DNA of hip-hop and house, jazz and ambient, techno and soul, funk and footwork and every other strain of beat music that eludes compartmentalization. The Flying Lotus-founded label has become a sanctified refuge for those who believe that nothing is too weird, genre is largely obsolete, and the wildest style will always reign supreme.
The label have celebrated 10 years in style with live showcases in Tokyo, Los Angeles and will end the year in London at Brixton Academy on 15 December 2018.
