1Forty's video: 1FBSS007: Lil Milly x Manny Mashup - The Steppa OUT NOW

Buy/Stream: smarturl.it/ryv3ee Two fresh faces round of 1FBSS007 in the form of Lil Milly and Manny Mashup, both of whom have two very different journeys in Bassline yet both have a sound that capture the original sound some 10-15 years later as proven with their first official collab together for 'The Steppa'. Lil Milly started producing in 2003 which explains why his sound his so authentic. Like DJ Pantha he was also from Dudley in the Birmingham area so was very much part of the Bassline boom in the late 2000s, also working together on a number of occasions. However it wasn't until two years ago when he decided to start taking releasing music seriously after seeing the success of his peers. His first official release 'Bumbafunk' went viral pre release when a clip from TRC and Murkz playing it on a livestream in lockdown exploded on Twitter. That release went on to set the groundworks for his near two decades of producing off the bat going on to play shows in Sheffield and Birmingham alongside the likes of Nasteeboi and Thorpey. The release also saw massive support from Bassline legends like DJ Q and DJ EJ. Manny Mashup was somewhat only exposed to underground music after moving to The University Of Manchester in 2017. Immediately getting the bug after regular visits to Antwerp Mansion he started DJ'ing and securing regular slots on the infamous Bloc2Bloc. By the time he finished uni he had become very invested in learning production and two years on he's had releases across Tumble Audio and ProjectAllOut amassing support from the likes of Killjoy, Deadbeat and even the likes of Window Kid after he latched onto his debut EP on Instagram bumping it on his socials regularly. Taking masses of amounts of inspiration from the Birmingham Bassline producers such as Swifta Beater, DJ Pantha and Lil Milly its safe to say his debut on 1Forty is somewhat of a full circle moment putting out his first ever collab with Lil Milly with DJ Pantha heading up the release.
