STREET ANTHEMS

Everything has become safe and predictable, the salaried line-toers in charge have fallen asleep at the wheel, your friends have sublet their minds to ChatGPT, gleeful indifference and co-opted group-think. The only way is to disobey, raid, rewire, rearrange, sabotage and rebuild until the creative chaos that emerges transforms into its own vitalising force.

Special Request continues to thrive outside of today’s influencer-core bullshitopoly. Summoning wildcard energy from, quite frankly, fuck knows where — no known existing power source — another longform installment is added to the constantly morphing SR discography in the shape of STREET ANTHEMS.

10 street anthems for the ages
rooted in uk garage but going way beyond
tunes that will stay the course
some will soundtrack your peak hours
some will soundtrack your heartbreak
some will turn your head inside out
others will make you listen in a different way
all of them will give you a moment in your set
they are all...
