Vancouver’s Destrata returns to Scuffed Recordings with three new tracks on his Keepsake EP, backed by a remix from SUCHI.

Originally appearing on London-based label Scuffed in 2023 with his Mutationist EP, Destrata picked up support from the likes of Leon Vynehall, rRoxymore, and Anz among others. Having also released with a ‘who’s who’ of electronic labels in his short career including 3024, SPE:C, and Of Paradise, Destrata was also named an artist to watch in 2024 by Mixmag.

Now returning with his Keepsake EP, Destrata describes his latest work as being altogether more melodic than his previous releases, while keeping drum work front and centre - or as he puts it, “My bass music friends think I make techno & my techno friends think I make bass music.”

Destrata’s melodically-focussed outlook is obvious from the outset, with lofty synths and vocal chops contrasting warping bass and skippy percussion across the EP’s three tracks.

Tungsten is a chemical element with the symbol W (from its German name, Wolfram) and atomic number 74. It is a rare and extremely hard metal, known for several unique properties:

High melting point: Tungsten has the highest melting point of any metal, at about 3,422°C (6,192°F). This makes it highly valuable for applications that require resistance to extreme heat, such as in light bulb filaments, rocket engine nozzles, and high-temperature furnace components.

Density: Tungsten is very dense, with a density close to that of gold (19.25 grams per cubic centimeter). This makes it useful in applications where mass is important, like in weights, counterweights, and even military projectiles.

Hardness: It’s one of the hardest materials, and tungsten carbide (a compound made from tungsten and carbon) is widely used in cutting tools, mining equipment, and wear-resistant materials because of its extreme hardness.

Electrical and thermal conductivity: Tungsten is a good conductor of electricity and heat, though not as efficient as copper or silver. Its high melting point and conductivity make it suitable for use in electrical contacts and electronic components.

Chemical resistance: Tungsten is resistant to corrosion and oxidation, especially at high temperatures.

Due to these properties, tungsten is used in various industries, including electronics, aerospace, defense, and manufacturing.
