In just over 18 months, Black Box has gone from being a totally new imprint to one of the most recognizable and reliable brands in dubstep. Under the careful guidance of scene veteran DJ Thinking, the label has nurtured a tight roster of names both new and old, giving a home to upcoming artists such as DJ Madd, Seven and Lurka, while also drawing in content from dubstep royalty including the likes of N-Type, Hatcha, Kryptic Minds and Breakage. Heavy live and radio support from A-list DJs, coupled with crisp artwork and the unmistakable Black Box insignia, has quickly imprinted the label onto the public's collective psyche as a trusted outlet for UK bass music. DJ Madd has followed a similar trajectory to his home-label Black Box, with his support list reading like a who's who of dubstep. 2011 has seen Madd cement his position in the higher echelons of the scene, with releases on N-Type's Wheel & Deal and Kryptic Minds' Osiris Music, weekly plays on Rinse FM, Kiss FM and BBC Radio 1, and an ever-growing schedule of gigs across Europe and beyond. Following the recent success of the Kryptic Minds album Can't Sleep on Black Box, and with increased interest in the label, it seemed an appropriate time to ask DJ Madd to compile a studio mix of new, old and unreleased tracks from the label, and to package this mix as a low-cost product to appeal to casual shoppers and would-be listeners. Madd's mix takes in many past highlights of the label as well as fresh material and dubplates, giving a fantastic overview of the depth and quality of the label's music direction. Other artists include: TMSV, Cyrus, Benton, Lost, Youngsta, Commodo, Chris Su and Phaeleh.
