Well Rounded Records - A Top 5 (so far) by Markings

With the announcement that Well Rounded are going to stop putting out music after honouring the remaining releases on the label’s schedule this year, I thought it would be appropriate to offer you my ‘Well Rounded top 5’ in celebration of the label’s success in the past four years.

5) Leon Vynehall - Title #7

Well Rounded’s most recent release (Housing Project), showing that the llabel is continuing to push incredible music from new, talented producers. Brighton regular Leon Vynehall doing his thang. All a havvv is.

4) Outboxx - Blueberry Lemon

This one came out on Well Rounded Housing Project in 2011. It was Outboxx’s second release after their debut on Idle Hands. I’ve never wanted to use ‘Jazzy’ to describe a tune so much, but i’m gonna say smooth instead.

3) XXXY - I Know This (Can’t Be Love)

So i’m writing these selection in reverse and I’m already noticing a pattern of love for Well Rounded vocals. This could be an excellent sub-genre, or make for a fabulous set. THIS ONE, gotta be a highlight of last year, back when it was sunny in April.

2) Gongon & Bad Autopsy - MAG

This one appeared on the Ca$h Antics Vol. 2 EP. Those slick vocals and that rising synth make for a stormer.

1) Deadboy - U Cheated

Well Rounded’s first release and probably my favourite to date. The title track is an absolute VIBE. Donga dropping this on Halloween at LIFE this year was the highlight of the night and would be in my top 3 Brighton musical moments so far (if we’re going to continue this whole ‘Top #’ thing).

Here’s another feature on Well Rounded on Hyponik
