you are genuinely just one of the sickest producers man, big up

Definite Party Material

@sisterzo brings her debut EP to Scuffed Recordings with four tracks of heavy, percussive club music.

Midwesterner Sister Zo has been building a name for herself in recent years as a co-founder of Kansas City’s UN/TUCK label, using her DJ sets and productions as a means of channelling her experiences as a queer trans woman growing up in the North American Bible belt.

As one of the alumni of the Scuffed Recordings Artist Development Scheme, Sister Zo honed her production skills throughout 2021 and the result is the Screw Cheek EP – featuring four moody, bass-heavy tracks.

From the tension-building title track, to the rolling percussion of ‘Don’t Test Me’, to the broken beats of ‘Fire’, and eerie atmospherics of ‘Inhale’, Zo exhibits intricate sound design and carefully-considered production throughout the EP, marking her as a producer to watch in 2022 and beyond.

In light of the horrors that we are all witnessing in Ukraine, we wanted to help in at least some small way.

This track from Liebus has been one of my biggest dance floor heaters of the last six months and he has kindly agreed to put it up as a 99p + pay more if you want download with all the proceeds immediately going to donation.dec.org.uk/ukraine-humanitarian-appeal

If you like the banger and can spare the money then you know it will be going to a good cause.

Here’s hoping for as swift a resolution as possible over in Ukraine.

Title: Burner FM
Catalogue Number: BP022SD
Genre: UK Techno / Broken / 140
Release: November 2022

Tracklist:
1. Burner FM
2. Earworm

Banoffee Pies Records welcomes Syz to the label with “Burner FM”. A two track single to warm the mood ahead of his full EP “Headspin” scheduled to land early 2023 from the impressive UK based alt. Techno producer.

Oli’s high quality output of playful and dynamic compositions on show yet again. A long path ahead for this kind soul and a good start point for this cohesive artist-label BPR hook up. Syz carves a distinct sound with clear intention in the cross hybrid field of techno leaning, drum heavy, dubbed out, and often grime inspired broken beat sonics. As always, there’s plenty of subtleties, chaptered progression and unpredictable flurries of hooks to keep you moving.

Intercept welcomes Destrata with his debut EP for the label: Squib. Over three tracks, the Vancouver based artist shows you his take on UK influenced bass and techno.

The title track 'Squib' is Eli's first foray in 4x4 music and showcases his talent for energetic moves whilst still retaining a taste for detail. With a lead built out of a twisted vocal sample and a bass that's as grooving as it is chest pumping, it perfectly sets the tone for the EP.

Splashes of bass, breakbeat, bass, techno and experimental soundscapes; Nehza Records delivers second V/A - Transaquae

The sixth release on RONI’s label Nehza Records dives into the theme of Water and explores how we, as humans, share the same Water as animals and plants to survive. Transaquae features ten international producers, traversing from the UK to Europe to Asia, each of whom interprets the theme of Water in their own distinct way.

Jossy Mitsu, Flore, Angel D’lite, CRRDR, Sun People, Nog4yra, SAYANG, Roaming Data, TOBS and label boss RONI tell the story of Water and its nourishment of planet earth, from feeding new life to regulating the temperature of humans and nature.
_________

We are 90% water. We are the sea, the glaciers, and the rain.
By drinking Water, we carry these natural sources and spirits inside us.
You are the sea.

Water is mother.
We feel her power. We are influenced by her. She is as powerful as the sun and the moon. We are movement and currents. Each of us carries our own sea, and our sea will feed another form of life.

Based in Brighton, @parryy is a music producer, sound designer, and DJ who fuses together a hybrid of UK club sounds with his own field and bird recordings.

Bird song forms the basis of inspiration for his music, and pairing this with his love of software plugins, hours are spent creating completely new sounds that spark initial ideas.

Debuting in 2022 on Scuffed Recordings with his collaboration with fellow Brighton producer Tamlin on the breaks-focused ‘Rush’, his first solo EP Ashdown / Wren moves his sound into a different direction.

Ashdown takes the form of a UK-techno-inspired roller, with dense rhythms and percussion throughout. The B-side titled ‘Wren’ brings the BPM down with its ethereal pads and dancehall-inspired rhythms.

On ACEN 058, label boss DJ Pitch teams up with Berlin-based artist MLE to gether an EP of energetic, stripped-down dance floor cuts. MLE, Rhythm Section affiliate and Refuge Worldwide resident, presents her first released productions; DJ Pitch puts out his first offerings on the label since 2022's Scared. 

Wicked Cool Mega Safe ramps things up into a high-intensity groove. Whilst stripping things down to percussive basics, the track remains endlessly compelling, with forceful four-to-the-floor clap patterns surrounded by ecstatic snare rolls, percussive grunts and syncopated tom hits.

Cheap Gift For Your Boyfriend

PREMIERE: DJ Pitch & MLE - Wicked Cool Mega Safe [All Centre]

Site-██, deep snow and high-altitude mountainous conditions. “Maul Rheo” repair/destruction cycle is internalised but maintaining a safe distance was necessary to avoid triggering its violent programming.

“Maul Rheo” appears to possess an amorphous body capable of self-repair and self-modification. Discovered in the ███████ Mountains. The entity exhibits a perpetual cycle of self-inflicted violence, leading to continuous destruction and reconstruction of its form. This cycle is believed to be a result of its original programming, its behavior suggests a programmed directive, compelling Maul Rheo to engage in intuitive violent behaviors. Future research should endeavor to trace a genealogy of violence.

Body is composed of an unknown metallic alloy, showing properties of both high durability and malleability. During its self-destructive episodes, body parts can be observed to tear, split, and then reform. The process is accompanied by the expulsion of a black oil onto the white snow. This substance quickly solidifies in the ice.

Encounter with Ziyiz:

An interaction between Ziyiz was recorded on ██/██/████. Ziyiz attempted communication with “Maul Rheo” using a series of synthesized electromagnetic propagations. This interaction led to a temporary cessation of “Maul Rheo’s” violent behavior, but it’s internal directives could not be dissuaded. Further research into the effects of acoustic frequencies and speculative technologies on programming is recommended.

Vief’s next fundraiser compilation, as voted for by the 14 contributors to the release, is raising money for Palestine Solidarity Campaign to aid their work in building public support for an end to atrocities currently taking place in Gaza.

Following the Hamas-led attack on Israel on 7th October 2023, the disproportionate response by the Israeli armed forces and government has led to (at the time of writing):

• At least 31,923 people killed, of which more than 13,000 are children (Al Jazeera)
• The destruction or damage of more than half of Gaza’s homes (360,000 residential units) (Al Jazeera).
• ‘Catastrophic’ levels of hunger for more than 1 million people and an ‘imminent’ famine in northern Gaza (the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification).

On 26th January 2024, the International Court of Justice ordered Israel to take “immediate and effective measures” to protect Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip from the risk of genocide by ensuring sufficient humanitarian assistance and enabling basic services. Amnesty International and Oxfam have accused Israel of defying this ruling.

“Israeli authorities are not only failing to facilitate the international aid effort but are actively hindering it. We believe that Israel is failing to take all measures within its power to prevent genocide.”

Sally Abi Khalil, Oxfam Middle East and North Africa Director. Oxfam.

It has been heartening to see the volume of fundraisers in the dance music world for this cause, and we all really hope you like the tracks in this release. Any support will be very much appreciated!

After a short hiatus at the beginning of 2024, we couldn’t be more excited to return to the digital series with it's fourth addition, courtesy of Newcastle-based Lace Atone.

The vocal sample in the title track, 'Beacon', features snippets of Joe Strummer's iconic wolf-like calls and creatively incorporates his in-between interval breaths from The Clash's post-apocalyptic anthem, 'London's Calling.' With Lace sharing, “The whole 'London is drowning' still resonates and holds true today."
