Founded by prolific producer, Mr. Sham G, Breakthrough Records is an independent record label well-regarded within the drum and bass scene. With its roots entrenched in underground electronic music, the label maintains a focus on pushing the boundaries of the drum and bass genre whilst demonstrating a commitment to promoting emergent artists.
Brought into existence in London, England, in 2010, Breakthrough Records has since been attributed with some of the city's most influential drum and bass releases and events. The label gained widespread attention with artist Sub Zero's 2012 hit single "Protection", which perfectly encapsulates their distinctly gritty yet melodic style.
Mr. Sham G set the tone of the label, a blend of the warm unpredictability of analogue instrumentation with high precision digital production techniques. Breakthrough Records offers a divergent sound that has set the course for the modern drum and bass scene.
While Breakthrough Records hasn't yet taken home any major industry awards, their contribution to the necessity of innovation within the genre has gained them respect in the drum and bass community. They have also earned praise for their dedication to providing opportunities to rising artists, fostering an environment of creativity and originality within the genre. This commitment has secured the label's place as an essential part of the global drum and bass landscape.
