Mullet Mix 004: G.S One

In our latest edition of Mullet Mix we've got G.S.One coming through with a massive selection of his favourite tracks. If you don't know, G.S. One is one of the latest rising stars of Manchester's music scene and is part of the up and coming label BPM Music (Big People Music) that's been supplying the Manchester and UK scene with some huge nights through their roster of talented DJs and Producers.Their latest show in front of a home crowd at Red Rum in Manchester last weekend had the whole BPM crew showcasing their talents. BPM's First Lady Madam X describes G.S. One's distinctive style as what it would sound like 'if R. Kelly did Bass Music' which is quite an accurate description really. G.S. One's debut single 'Pillow Talk' has already been getting a lot of heavy rotation and is a definite dancefloor heater. We hope that you enjoy his exclusive mix for afromullets as much as we did! Also check out the short interview we did and get to know a bit more about G.S.One.

For the people that don't know, please tell us something about yourself and your music?
Cool, I’m G.S.ONE, I’m based in Manchester and I guess I make anything that falls under the bracket of future sounds. I’m still not sure if that’s even a thing, but I try to make music that’s makes you feel something with a garage and house backdrop. Oh yeah, and I quite like a nice bassline too.

Manchester has always been known for it's diverse music scene. What is it about your city that inspires you to make the music you make and what makes it different from other cities or 'scenes' in your opinion?
Everyone knows everyone. Manchester’s the right size to have a really communal feel to it which opens up opportunities to collaborate and meet other producers. The diversity comes from each of us having different inspirations and aspirations but most importantly, it’s that we’re able to see each other and share the enthusiasm we have for the music we love which in itself inspires you to keep doing what you’re doing and just keep trying new things.

What's your favorite post party/clubbing midnight snack and where in Manchester can I get it?
Chicken wings from Pizza and Co definitely hit the spot. Its close enough to the city centre to walk and its right outside a 42 bus stop which is always certain to get you somewhere close to home.

Tell us more about BPM Music and what we can expect from you and your crew in the near future?
After a couple years of doing raves at some of Manchesters best venues, Phaze One, Dj Darka, T Dot and Madam X decided to set up the label to showcase some of the unsigned music we were playing in our raves. My EP Lucid Dreams, should be out by the summer and we should have another release before the end of the year from T Vicious – his beats aren’t like a great deal out and they drop incredibly well in any type of set. We’ll be taking over Just jam on Jun the 5th with all the label residents playing sets – should be a lot of fun so make sure you all tune in!

Follow G.S.One and stay up to date on future BPM Music events and releases.
