New Delhi-based producer @mutablemercury brings his first EP, Lost In Chaos, to Scuffed Recordings.

Mutable Mercury is the solo project from Mukul Juneja, who first appeared on London-based label Scuffed in 2022 with his single Vexation.

Now returning with a three-track EP, ‘Lost in Chaos’ sees Mutable Mercury further building on the sound he has been developing on his past releases with labels like Reality Club and Shubzin - leaning heavily on electro, techno and dubstep influences with a heavy focus on percussion and bass weight.

Opening with the title track, Mutable Mercury establishes his sonic palette from the outset, with driving, high-energy drum work alongside staccato vocal chops.

DJ Polo returns to Livity Sound with an EP that moves beyond the UK funky styles he established alongside Tribal Brothers on The Link Up EP in 2021. Through his productions and steady online radio presence, the Bristol-based producer has been flying the flag for lean, punchy rhythms with a low-end focus, but on If The Glove Fits Polo has branched out to explore different tempos and sounds taking influence from gqom, techno and Afrobeats. 

Much like his approach to funky, this isn’t a set of genre exercises but more a celebration of the shared qualities which bind together dance music from different parts of the world. The result is four sharply-defined club workouts unique to DJ Polo that balance tension and release, flair and subtlety and a consistent physical weight true to Livity’s emphasis on soundsystem suitability.

True child of the soulseek generation, @pura_pura 's roots crawl deep into juke and footwork, via Miami bass, gangsta rap and bass-loaded contemporary club. Currently one of France’s fastest rising beatmaker, this daredevil drops bangers-only sets over the country as well as regular appearances on Rinse and Pinata Radio, always spiced with his hyper club edits of Ice Spice to Kraftwerk via Yussef Dayes.

Using soundscapes and noises recorded on his iPhone between his flat and music studio in Montpellier, these 5 tunes are shaped around a particular time of a contemporary club night, from punchy house to peak time breaks. This for-the-club release is Pura Pura’s debut on Global Warming Records, and an obvious connection from people who love building constant bridges between UK and France.

Baltimore's rising star JIALING returns to Clasico (Local Action sibling label), following her 'FREAKY HORNS' EP (one of the biggest dance tracks of 2024, called "song of the Summer" by Resident Advisor, DJ support from Pangaea, Bradley Zero, Nikki Nair, Miley Serious, Jossy Mitsu and more).

Here she teams up with rising West Coast star Farsight, who has previously released on Rinse, Scuffed, Cloudcore & Dusky's 39 Steps label, for a stripped back, direct new club record, for a high-energy club, grime and bass hybrid.
