- Arriving October 3rd, 33/45 spans the group's 33-year career.
UK bleep pioneers Unique 3 are releasing a retrospective compilation.
Spanning the group's 33-year career, 33/45 features 45 remastered tracks, including unheard edits and previously unreleased material. Compiled by founding member Edzy, the LP fuses everything from electro, hip-hop, reggae, dub and dancehall to acid house, techno and bass-heavy breakbeat. It's out October 3rd on Edzy's Originator Sound label.
Following a 14-year hiatus, Edzy revived Unique 3 in 2007 with the Rocks The Bass EP on Fat! Records. 33/45 marks the group's first release since 2016's Reconnoitre. In 2019, the group received long-overdue recognition by way of Matt Anniss's book on the history of bleep. Following its release, Warp Records cofounder Robert Gordon compiled some of the genre's most foundational tracks, including Unique 3 & The Mad Musician's "Only The Beginning."
