At the start of 2024, Acid Jazz announced a long-term collaboration with cult club troupe The Ballistic Brothers. After a sell-out 7 of the classic Blacker, and a series of digital releases, came the reissued London Hooligan Soul in April. Originally consisting of Ashley Beedle, Rocky and Diesel of X-Press 2, with contributions from keyboard player Uschi Classen – David Hill of Nuphonic would join for Volume 2 – each member has had storied roles in UK club music. The Ballistic Brothers are a unique product of time and place. A place where a generation of clubbers sought the many routes and possibilities of the burgeoning London dance scene. The Ballistic Brothers vs. The Eccentric Afros (Vol. 1), originally released on the On Delancy Street label in 1994 was a club smash. It sat somewhere between a mini album and a 12 EP. The reality is – a lot like \’London Hooligan Soul\’ – it was its own thing. For the first time, it will be presented in a full-spine outer sleeve, with a beautiful recreation of the original graphics by The Unknown, and the music restored and remastered from the original master DATs.
