A lived and creative embodiment of various points of division and passage in the UK Hardcore Continuum designed by Simon Reynolds, Sully has been shuffling the space-time coordinates mapped out by the latter over the years and postulated in ‘Energy Flash’, bringing particles of jungle, 2-step, grime or dubstep out of his chronology. In this process of continuous reordering, he incites more or less subliminal crossings with footwork or trap, like someone who imagines a fluid cartography where memories of the past are felt for the present and hints of the future, without a place. Born Jack Stevens and an active part of the clubber community that was being created in Norwich, Sully has maintained a relatively discreet but constant activity going back to 2007, and after a handful of EPs his first real treatise was the album ‘Carrier’ in 2011. Released on Dusk & Blackdown’s Keysound label, ‘Carrier’ was at the time a necessary departure from the more bovine confines of dubstep, taking its previous notions of space and pressure from the genre in order to make a fresh start with the 2-step rhythmic patterns that gave rise to it in the proto-dubstep creations of El-B or Horsepower Productions, but with full awareness of the umbilical connections to the eski gelidity and fluidity of jungle.

After a few more EPs, ‘Escape’, again on Keysound in 2017, consolidates this lineage, bringing to the table more pronounced footwork or ambient markings that continue today to be naturally imbued in a broken sound that has revitalized – and paving the way for a notorious trend these days – the vertigo and infinite potential of jungle. Without a full-length since then, Sully has confined himself to the ever-pressing universe of the 12” through labels like Rupture London, Astrophonica, Future Retro London or his Uncertain Hour, leaving a trail of bangers like ‘Werk’, ‘Soundboy Don’t Push Your Luck’ or ‘Epoch’, which evoke the kinetic precision of Photek, the meditative spirit of Dillinja or the cybernetic roughness of tech-step, without ever falling into the empty dilettantism or revisionism of these templates, but rather into constant reconfiguration. Of always, of now. BS.

Music has always been a part of Michelle Borja, aka Mix’Elle.
As a child, she always preferred her family’s vinyl collection to dolls.
In 2003, at university, Mix’Elle and vinyl were reunited.
She started with techno at free parties and underground clubs, encouraged by DJ friends.
A few years later, she surrendered to DnB, a style she passionately represents and promotes.
Inspired by various spectrums of the musical universe, it is difficult to classify her sound in a single style. She has toured the country and Europe, performing at events and festivals such as Outlook in Croatia, Trinity Centre in Bristol, Cross Club in Prague, Sommercasino in Basel, Tanzhaus West in Frankfurt… sharing the stage with some of the best.
Her work has been highlighted on the international scene and has caught the attention of the most prestigious collectives. This is the case with EQ 50, Bassdrive, Unchained Asia, Dynamics UK, Radio X, SeekSickSound, Rinse Fm, Kool Fm, Sofa Sound Bristol, among others.
She is currently involved in several projects and, in addition to being co-founder of Interesting Constellation, she collaborates with Angel from Planeta Manas, where she makes her debut as a producer with the release “Spiritual Rhythms.”
