BARELY ALIVE has stepped into the label game with a new imprint built specifically around brostep, aiming to give a platform to the genre's rising talent. The launch arrives alongside a compilation, "Killed It! Vol. 1," which packs in 18 tracks described as a showcase for dubstep's next generation of producers.
The framing around the launch, summed up in the line "These artists have a lot to say," positions the label as a home for emerging voices in the heavier, bass-forward corner of dubstep rather than a vanity project. With 18 tracks on the debut compilation alone, the release suggests a sizable roster of artists getting an early spotlight through the new venture.
Details beyond the compilation's track count and its framing as a next-gen showcase remain limited, but the launch signals BARELY ALIVE's move from artist to label head, adding another outlet dedicated specifically to brostep's continued growth.
