Afghan Headspin's take on 2008!

What a year for us, after a lot of time in the studio 2008 was very prolific for us release wise. We have forged bonds with many labels this year, Westway, Bombtraxx, Silo, Mechanoise, Audio Gore, Polar Red, Downbeat & Tortured Breaks, and we have also completed material for 2009 for Colony Productions & Bassrock.

We also started our labels Valium (vinyl & digital) & Standard Audio (digital only), and have managed to work with some of our favourite artists within the breaks scene, Vent, IITone, Phat Riderz, MARS, Xim n'bass and Slim Blue to name a few!

This year has also seen us play our DJ sets in Spain, Bristol, London and Jersey, and bookings for 2009 are already taking shape, most notably our booking for the next Breakspoll @ Fabric.

We would like to thank all the people that have made 2008 a great year for us - Jay Cunning Kiss 100 / Menu Music, all the Radik-Al crew from Spain, Ceos @ Downbeat, Jodi @ Mechamusic, MARS (XSSR), Sam & Dan from VENT, Annie Nightingale, Dash from Ctrl Z, Quest, Ben & Lex, Nat & George from 601, Jimmy from Nu Skool Breaks, Lee Cut La Roc, Paul @ Bassrock, Mikey Silo, Henry @ Bombtraxx, Andy @ Z Audio (if it wasn't for this guy we would never have released the track "Cocaine"!!!) and many many others along the way, you know who you are!!!

Here's to 2009, massive thanks to everyone who's supported us, hope you all have a great year ahead!

There is talk of us doing further work for Cut La Roc on Roc Star so keep em peeled for more news about that.

Our remix of Cybass' Shake It has just dropped on Silo, grab it on vinyl whilst you can, digital to follow shortly. Rumour has it that our remix of Dilemn's Tonight is not far off from release either, grab it at your local store soon.
