Focus Group – FOCUS TAPE 2023
I’m very excited to share the finale to the FOCUS TAPE trio, FOCUS TAPE 2023! This year, the only submissions allowed were collaboration tracks, creating a great mix of sounds and styles. I really hope you enjoy this one! All proceeds in 2023 were donated to The Samaritans mental health charity.
Temma – SH!T
SH!T is Temma’s second full length album on focusonthe since joining the family early last year. Despite being released fairly soon after his previous album, gro†step, SH!T has a very different yet memorable sound. I remember when Temma first sent me the full version of the album, I sat and listened while being super high […]
Chapters226 x Bootlxgg – Spangle Beats Beat Tape Vol. 2
Although this project was just included as a bonus download with DIVDRILL 2K22, this album is a great representation of Chapters226 & Bootlxgg’s production skill. The 25-track long beat tape includes a bunch of unique beats, as well as drill flips of popular songs from decades past and internet culture. If you’re looking to relax […]
Chapters226 x Bootlxgg – DIVDRILL2K22
The way this album came to be involved with focusonthe is a story of crazy coincidences, which I can’t wait to tell. Back a few years ago, during lockdown I spent some time being active in the official glue70 discord server, as I was a huge fan of his music at the time and had […]
unbecome111 – materialcore
Much like many other artists on focus, I think you can really tell unbecome111’s evolution as an artist from listening to the first album he released, to the latest. Although the sound of each track varies a fair amount throughout this album, each track is well produced and interesting – from the more ambient to […]
Jakku – BRKWRK V.2
I don’t have too much to mention about this album! BRKWRK V.2 is a selection of tracks i’d worked since the release of BRKWRK V.1. I don’t like to think of myself as a music artist anymore, however, I did feel the need to release these tracks that were just sitting on my computer. I […]
SeyNoe – SoulBound
If not Andy’s all my followers are my friends, SeyNoe’s SoulBound probably has my favourite album artwork on the label. The fantastic Voipetsu offered his 3d modelling skillset and experience to help us achieve the vision SeyNoe and I both had. Releasing exactly one year after SeyNoe World, SoulBound manages to stand apart from it’s […]
Focus Group – FOCUS TAPE 2022
I’m definitely not ashamed to admit that FOCUS TAPE 2022 is my favourite release on the label by far. This album is an absolutely fantastic celebration of what we were able to achieve in 2022. I’ve said this before in the discord server, however, I definitely think every artist featured here put so much effort […]
strxwberrymilk – Eloise
Eloise is strxwberrymilk’s second full length album release on focusonthe, and a really monumental release for strxwberrymilk. I’ve talked to Oswald possibly more than any other focus member, and in this album, Oswald really wanted to push his own boundaries and make something new. There was a lot of disagreement between Oswald and I about […]
Code-Woven Havoc – kiari
Kiari is yet another talented artist on our label who makes music using Audiotool. I’m always surprised by the strength of the audiotool community, and how much the general music community overlooks them. Wasn’t a big name on soundcloud or bandcamp, but well known on audiotool. Having been in production for 2 years, it’s no […]
