Maya Q (@mxyi) releases her debut EP for Scuffed Recordings, weaving together her own unique take on influences from across the UK dance music spectrum. The New England-born, London-based DJ and producer has been building momentum throughout 2021, both with her productions and as a resident of the Co-Select collective. 

The ‘Spiral’ EP follows Maya’s appearance on the Scuffed Presents 005 compilation in early 2021 with her track ‘Belief’, which saw support from Jaguar and Jess Iszatt on BBC Introducing, among others. 

Since then, Maya released her ‘I Just Wanna’ EP through DJ Pitch and Simkin’s All Centre label, which further established her esoteric production style and her place as an artist to watch in the UK’s electronic music scene. 

On the EP’s title track, Maya comes straight out of the blocks with a jungle-inspired warper that pairs heavyweight bass with an unearthly melody and frantic breaks. 

Early support from India Jordan, Addison Groove, Emerald, Tom Ravenscroft.

Spiral EP 

Maya Q - Spiral

Today marks 1 year since we posted our first guest mix. Big love to @arfasounds for taking the time and launching this platform with us 12 months ago 💜

To switch it up a little from the usual, we’re moving away from our recent UKG mixes this week to bring a wild genre mashup from the man like @nova_cheq 🔥 

Nova Cheq has come through with a heavy 100 - 130 mix that moves through multiple sonics and levels of energy. The selections move from industrial to grime, to dancehall and funky. Plus with a few wild cards throw into the bag, this one is unlike anything we’ve dropped before. As always with SOLITUDE mixes, there’s a few unreleased tunes here. This time from @djspit.to’s label @rascals_030. Expect these tracks to get pressed with @hardwax_official as well. Mark of quality each and every time. 

He’s an artist who resides in the more hardcore side of the scene, capable of brewing up proper party fuel. Legit his sets are always fuckin wild. Not often for the faint hearted, his music transcends most style brackets and is often a representation of his musical influences over the years, with nods to the original 90’s rave scene, jungle, breaks and techno.

Deffo check his release that just dropped on @sherelle_ & @naina_ldn’s label @hooversoundrec. It’s a combined force with @samurai_breaks. Five outrageously good pieces of work referred to as “Pure Party Fuel, Ghetto House Styled Jungle-Juke Pounders” - these one will smash up the dance 100% 

He’s also had a solo release on Hoover Sound that dropped in May last year. Absolutely worth checking, 5 more stompers with the title track FUK.GOV.UK doing what it says on the tin in hard dance party music format 🔥 

You can likely catch Nova Cheq tearing down parties throughout the rest of the year. Head down to a show and see how it goes down, proper scenes every time 🎥

Bright Souls is a six–track EP that merges the raw power of Jump Up DnB with the hypnotic grooves of Roller DnB. Produced by D Agoney for District Recordings (aka DnBDistrict), this release is engineered to ignite dancefloors and sound systems from the very first drop.

Each track delivers an unrelenting surge of energy:

Vibrant

Face Swap

Active Sonar (feat. Dyls MC)

Feel That Sh*t (feat. Waypath)

Samurai

Electrized

“Vibrant” explodes with crushing basslines; “Face Swap” twists your mind with warped synths; “Active Sonar” hits hard with razor-sharp verses; “Feel That Sh*t” uplifts with addictive melodies; “Samurai” unleashes a precision-driven sonic battle; and “Electrized” closes the journey in a blaze of pure adrenaline.

HDN003 | 4TGANG - Nasty Shit EP

Meru’s debut solo release, ‘Fkim’ - genre-defying, textural, and not short on low frequency action.

Juxtaposing two states of consciousness, the track begins with a calming journey into the uncharted realms of the mind - but soon descends into a sub frequency induced psychosis...

Scaefa - Prophecy [Simply Deep Premiere]

Stepping up for Gimme A Break’s second original EP is multi-genre DJ and producer, Scart Lead, originally from the North West and now based in London. Through his releases on Subtle Records, Outhouse Sounds, LDH Records and Slippery Sounds, Scart Lead has revealed the strong influence of oldskool rave and hip-hop on his production style. Following a melancholic and moody UKG opener, the sinister mood of Scart Lead’s ‘Wheelin N’ Dealin'’ EP builds through vicious breakbeats and a dubstep-influenced finale. GAB would like to say an enormous thank you to Alex Kubis for coming through with this unbelievable artwork reflecting Scart Lead’s passion for 90s rave art.

Producer: Scart Lead
