Album will be out on 3rd September 2021

Outer-national dance discourses, that strive for no country and obey to no flag: when Düsseldorf based producer, Stefan Schwander creates music as Harmonious Thelonious, highly percussive rhythms, dissonances and melodic twists tango chatoyant virtuosic. Since 2008 he releases music, that unites Detroit techno districts, widescreen minimalistic structures and African rhythm patterns into a wide dynamic scale. All eight musical objects collected on "Instrumentals!” document a chapter in Harmonious Thelonious’s work, that left the noisy background drones behind in favor for a signature sound full of echoes of ancient rituals and ecstatic ceremonies.

This four-track release on @row-records certainly fulfils the space and bass brief. @pugilistmusic twists ‘Somni’ into a percussion-heavy heater filled with expert break splicing, dreamy pads and ominous ambience.

Wayward follow up their debut LP with a rugged four track ode to London clubbing.

The North London duo use spoken word over hard edged club-ready tracks that reach heights of 150bpm. Informed by influences like Addison Groove, Pangaea & Hessle Audio, Machine Drum, and Overmono.

“If our debut album showcased the more reflective side of our yearning for clubs, and a softer side of the lockdown experience, this EP is the anger, frustration and urgency coming out. Stuck indoors again just wanting to bang it out in a club with the intention of making something completely focused on the dance floor” - Wayward.

The result here is the perfect set of tools for any DJs arsenal to provide serious dance floor moments from 130 - 160/170bpm, the frustration channelled perfectly into the music to create raw club sounds. Written during perhaps the toughest lockdown endured when those hard winter months had darkness fill our mornings and early evenings, and making music that evoked feelings and memories of the club provided Wayward some solace. Title track ‘Sapphire Eyes’ was designed as a last tune of the night, ‘The Cause’, an immersive track that envelops you in sound, and a homage to the North London venue near to where they live. ‘Camden Road’ displays chopped up piano licks, spoken word, before getting rowdy and flipping on its head, and ‘Run Out Of Love’ with that rolling Reese bass, jump up DnB drum influence and U.K. drill vocal.

We close 2021 with our annual Scuffed Presents compilation, presenting four new artists to look ahead to in 2022.

The release kicks off with Moscow producer @rnbwssound, who has been building a name for himself with recent appearances on labels like Nehza, Kouncil Cuts, and Cyberjit. ‘Till I Get Enough’ is a pounding, breaks-led track based around an addictive vocal, acting as a statement of intent for the rest of the compilation.

Rnbws - Till I Get Enough

It’s been a while since we’ve described something as ‘outsider’. Remember that spell when everything which wasn’t 4/4 and sounded a little like Blawan was described as such?

Well – this new EP from Nikki Nair on the longstanding UK label Lobster Theremin is as weird, wonky and reminiscent of that bass driven era which helped go on to define UK music culture for the next decade or so.

This is a frantic, pacy, sample driven EP which will likely do sever damage in the clubs over the winter period and well into next year. Get involved.

PREMIERE: Nikki Nair - WWC [Lobster Theremin]

Genre: Techno / Broken Beat
Release: March 2022

Tracklist:
A1 Kesibt Ft. SHBL-LBSH
A2 Fasla Ft. SHBL-LBSH
B1 Mawkif
B2 Hanshoof

Banoffee Pies Records, in its eighth year of operating, hit the 20th release milestone in their Original Series. Joining the roster, Cairo based producer Hassan Abou Alam steps up with a 4 track solo EP entitled “Fasla”. A decisive selection of attitude packed wormhole bass lines and dark basement jams.

The A side was produced in a special collaboration with local artist SHBL-LBSH who’s vocal works feature across “Kesibt” + “Fasla”. The B side delivers sharp cutting synth lines in “Mawkif” and breakneck low end rumbles in “Hanshoof”. After a series of works on the likes of Naive, Not For Profit and Rhythm Section, Hassan fittingly joins the Berlin based, Bristol born label with more boundless sounds that slice through the fabric of styles that BPR have fostered since inception. Tailored club music from one of Egypts new wave of producers. Hold your hats and check your Bass bins. BPR. X

A core part of the Control Freak Recordings family, London based artist Keplrr has built a reputation as a deft & talented producer with unparalleled attention to detail. In the wake of the widespread support for his 2020 EP ‘Reconstructed Club’, we asked four producers we have long-admired to flip a track from the original release. The result is ‘Club Reconstructed’ - a collection of remixes which distill the spirit of Keplrr’s original record into new forms.

Syz makes his return to the label after 2019’s highly acclaimed Bunzunkunzun EP, applying his organic touch to Esoteric Functions with a ‘refunction’, which blurs the line between techno and 140 - packing some serious low-end and a cheeky mid-way switch-up to send the dance wild.

Pluralist debuts on Manchester’s Left, Right & Centre with three cuts of buzzing techno dancehall. Hear ‘B Squared’ now

Premiere: Pluralist ‘B Squared’

The room was deafly silent; so quiet she could hear her heart pulsing and the blood coursing through her veins. Hours had passed since she first arrived, there had been no sonic or visual stimuli to keep her mind busy; she'd taken to fixing her gaze on a spot on the wall in the hope that it might force something indescribable to happen. The wait felt endless, like an infinite stretch of time with no end in sight, how long could this torture go on for?

Manchester's Left, Right & Centre return for their first release of 2022 and the third artist-led release on the label. At the helm this time it's Bristol-based producer and Rinse France resident Pluralist who has previously put out rhythmic outings for Panel Audio, Manuka Records and Control Freak Recordings. For this three track excursion, titled B Squared, Pluralist treats us to another batch of syncopated drum patterns, rumbling subs and pacy techno mutations that are ready to heat up any dance floor.

PREMIERE: Pluralist - Jerzee [Left, Right & Centre]

After 14 years of curating events across the city, Ape-X Records aims to provide an established platform for artists and shine the spotlight on Northern talent.

'Good Night, Amen' marks the debut release from breakbeat junkie Product Toss. The 5 track EP explores the alluring sonic connections between complex drum arrangements, pulsating basslines, esoteric rhythms, and grime instrumentals. The young Newcastle-based artist has charged into the scene with an undeniably unique and club-focused sound. Product Toss is joined by Newcastle born up & comer Nectax and Leeds chaos enthusiast Nova Cheq on remix duties.

Release date (all digital platforms):
27.05.2022

Austrian producer Awo Ojiji brings his Mantecatura EP to Scuffed, featuring four new intricately-crafted, bass-heavy cuts.

Making his Scuffed debut on the Scuffed Presents Vol.5 compilation back in 2020 with his track ‘Woozy’, Awo Ojiji quickly picked up support from the likes of Ben UFO, Chloé Robinson, and Madam X with his surgical approach to sound design and genre-dodging sound. Following up with his Ridicoloum EP on Eclipse Tribez in 2021, he marked himself as one of the most compelling new producers to emerge in recent years.

Now, the Graz-based artist - who is a long-time resident of the city’s disko404 collective - returns to Scuffed for a full EP, flexing the full range of his production capabilities across four eclectic tracks.

From the mid-tempo opener ‘Recess’, to the footwork-influenced ‘Stress’, bassweight-focussed ‘Balsam’ and percussive dancehall-techno hybrid ‘Inwards’, Awo Ojiji displays a unique slant across the course of the EP with tracks that are at once club and headphone ready.

Awo Ojiji’s Mantecatura EP will be released on Scuffed on 27th May on all digital platforms.

Spell On My Dance

Farloh - Spell On My Dance (Original Mix)

When they first appeared to the world on episode N° 035 of our FREEDL series at the end of 2020, we said "very little is known about the Roswell Brothers". Almost two years have passed since then, and still, the information we have about the trio remains scarce. What we know so far: They are two Chileans and one Mexican who live in Mexico City and are fans of Lucha Libre. After their debut on SXDNS, they released solid EPs on Emerald & Doreen and NEIN and now land on Veneno with a must-have seven-round fight: "Futuro Eterno" showcases the Brothers' retro-infused sonority by presenting two high-flying originals and five acrobatic remixes made with inspiration & transpiration by hot shots Adán Aradillas, Brandski, Vleks, Mau Maioli (SXDNS246), and Neurotiker.

While "Eternal Future", the original, is a New-Wave-meets-Synthwave beauty, the remix we chose to premiere brings shards of Cosmic Disco combined with pinches of French House to the concoction. For his collaboration to the Roswells, besides embedding deep and beautiful synth layers, Brandski opened the vaults where he keeps the talkboxes and vocoders he inherited from Daft Punk and inserted some robotic magic into the theme. Nothing surprising for those familiar with the previous works by the skilled Toulouse-based artist, who is able to bring together his many an influence and deliver high-quality material, independently of the genre.

PREMIERE373 // Roswell Brothers Feat. Nyx - Eternal Future (Brandski Robotic Morphing Remix)

Everyday felt the same, there was little variation in the tasks and activities that filled their time. Spontaneity was a non-existent idea - repetition ruled their every move. It had become such a normal way of living that now they didn't know any different, any alternate options or changes to their routine through everything into disarray. They'd given up fighting it, repeating patterns would forever be their reality.

Having made a mark with his debut LP last year on Kneaded Pains, Fossil Archive now returns to his own eponymous label for a new solo EP, Pattern Repeat. Made up of four tracks of celestial acid, emotive techno and hypnotic trips for the dance floor, the release is a taster of all the things Fossil Archive does best.

For the title track he teams up with Kiara Scuro's ZaaZaa who provides ethereal vocals that lift the track into the heavens. This isn't the first time the pair have joined forces with Fossil Archive and Sub Club's Stevie Cox bringing the singer, producer and DJ on board for their recent collaborative EP for Hammer's Remmah imprint.
