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. 

Next up is ‘da2’, which eases off the pace in favour of atmospheric effects and chiptune-esque synth work. 

Closing out the release is ‘Drumpack’, with Maya’s eerie melodic pads and veering synth line dancing over a skippy garage-inspired beat, before introducing a grinding bassline in the second half of the track. 

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

UK producer Chungo returns to Scuffed Recordings for his third EP on the label, with three new tracks pairing playful melodies and bouncing grooves with his signature bass-driven, percussive techno style.

On the LX EP, Chungo further explores the melodic elements he set out on his Pineapple release, laying down an addictive earworm of a lead on the title track, while staying consistent to the percussive style he’s made his hallmark – pulling in influences from UK funky, garage, baile funk, and techno.

THESE ARE PREVIEWS TO STICKY .007 : 'hey, do you need someone to talk to?' mini-compilation. If you like what you hear, the digi's will be available on October 22nd 2021 here - https://stickytapesmix.bandcamp.com/album/sticky-007-hey-do-you-need-someone-to-talk-to-mini-compilation

Fresh off the release of their first birthday compilation release this Summer which included contributions from Jossy Mitsu, Stones Taro, ELLES, Black Cadmium and more, Sticky tapes are back with a mini-compilation entitled ‘hey, do you need someone to talk to?’ 

This digital-only release features tracks from Tim Reaper, Ell Murphy & Picasso, PRAYER, IN2STELLAR, Theo Everyday and a debut outing from Kitsta. 

Sticky Tapes launched their first tape back in July 2020 with Violet and ELLES and since then have released tapes with the likes Interplanetary Criminal, CC:Disco, Asquith, Om Unit and many more. To date, they’ve raised over £2000 for six different charities, all chosen by the artists on the tapes.

As always with Sticky Tapes projects, all proceeds will be being donated to charity. This release aims to raise awareness of three mental health helplines (The Samaritans, SANEline and Switchboard), all doing amazing work for those who need someone to talk to when they are at their worst. 

To further awareness of the helplines, Sticky Tapes will be posting 500 posters all over London that feature rip tickets with the numbers of the helplines.

The compilation delivers a broad sound palette, from spaced-out trance to IN2STELLAR to ethereal breaks from PRAYER. 

Label: Sticky Tapes

Cat No.: STICKY 007

PREVIEWS - STICKY 007: 'hey, do you need someone to talk to?' mini-compilation

Waterfalls EP begins its journey with the eerie 2-step, warped sub frequencies of 'Bowen'. 'Trident Creek' then takes us into skittering broken beat territories, with Azure's signature percussive layers dancing throughout. 'The Chasm' dives deep into a break-beat driven frenzy accompanied by out of atmosphere bleeps and sirens. Closing the EP is a collaboration with producer Flandiz (Flesh Pig Recording), which blends acid lines with a silky garage beat and monstrous sub hits to deliver a groove for the dancefloor.

Each of the tracks are named after Waterfalls in Aotearoa. They came to fruition after travelling the South Island and seeing the wonder that waterfalls offer.
