Since 2014 @stonestaro has been delivering his own take on the UK sound, heavily influenced by rave, jungle, garage and breakbeat. Now the Kyoto, Japan based artist makes his @cheekymusicgroup debut with four intricately laced cuts, continuing to break the mould and recontextualize his own sonic palette.

We're very happy to share the title track 'Yakusugi' ahead of the EP's forthcoming release. Expect sparkling synths, choppy breaks and spacious bass.

HOTWAX // Stones Taro - Yakusugi

Label: Banoffee Pies Records
Artist: Pugilist
Title: Static
Catalogue Number: BP019
Genre: UK Techno / Dub / Down Tempo
Release: February 2022

Tracklist:
A1 Déjà Vu
A2 Future Retro
B1 Static
B2 Sky Blue
5. Illumination (digital exclusive)

Banoffee Pies Records 19th release in the Original Series lands with a very special solo EP entitled "Static" from Melbourne based Producer/DJ, Pugilist. Alex has been making incredible selections of bass infused, UK and Dub tinged music for many years. A fitting welcome on BPR as the label hits it's 8 year anniversary since its inception in 2014. The platform continues to evolve with an ever growing number of releases representing different sounds across its sublabels and many blossoming side projects alongside.

To honour the frequent mood changes and feelings of relative isolation experienced in the last 2 years, the A side aims to reconnect those lost moments with "Déjà Vu" & "Future Retro" - both tracks channelling a UK centric sound for the dancefloor and a further proof of the depth and quality found across Pugilist's back catalogue. The B side flaunts a completely parallelled sound palette with "Static", a down tempo dubby track partnered by the beautifully stylish "Sky Blue". A combination of anthems and cloud hopping ballads for the record collectors. Much love, BPR. X

*The release includes an extra goodie in the form of the digitally exclusive track “Illumination” - a low key 2step / garage mood to close out the EP.

TASTY002 - K-LONE - A1. Focus (Out Now)

Wandering between the city streets I cast my mind back to days gone by - lost friends, late nights and distant memories of faces and places I can't recall.

Despite all of this it was the same brickwork, the same broken cobbles and pavestones upon which I tread wildly atop into the morning. 

A cup of coffee and a paper will do, let's see what the world's done now. The sound of birds chirping in the trees as I enter the park, the remnants of a big weekend scattered over by the bin. 

Some might not think much of this place, to them it means little. However, to a geezer like me, it was paradise and the sense of opportunity hung thick and lingered in the air. 

Amy Dabbs and Coco Bryce have collaborated to release a killer four track EP on the newly launched record label LT-Coda, an offshoot of Lobster Theremin. We don't say this lightly when we hint that this may be one of our favourite releases of the year so far - sun kissed samples and euphoria aplenty this one rocks.

The fourth release is a big one for Holding Hands as they branch out into brand new territory with their first new signing on the label. 
Breaka usually runs in very different circles, producing footwork, juke and DnB from his home in Leeds. These are the first tunes of his at a slower tempo to be released but you can certainly hear those influences loud and clear in these certified UK 125-130bpm bangers.

Leeds-based producer Dubrunner (@dubrunneruk) brings his debut release to Scuffed Recordings, with three new tracks firmly rooted in his soundsystem influences.

As a co-founder of Leeds’ notorious Stretchy Dance Supply parties and a staff member at Tribe Records, Dubrunner’s eclectic DJ sets reflect back into his productions, with house, breaks and electronic influences sitting alongside sounds from steppa dub and soundsystem culture.

The ‘Scorpio Season’ EP shows the spectrum of Dubrunner’s influences in full flow, with tracks ranging from the 140bpm stepper ‘Destination Unknown’, to the weighty breaks of the title track, to the wonky electronics and dubby chords of ‘Syntax Error’.

Out August 7th:
