Maya Q 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. 

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.

Presenting DBGI004- a hot and messy, sub dusting release from Chungo. Returning with a two track EP, designed to have you singing along to its melodies and moving your feet.

The first track ’Charcoal’ is a massive rainbow road bop, featuring Chungo’s groove at its finest, served up with a swinging dream of a melody which will keep you awake at night. The second track ‘Shuv It’, is an evolving pop group of pads and vocal stabs. Snappy percs and heavy sub frequencies, to conclude a two tracker made for DJs and movers.

We close 2021 with their annual Scuffed Presents compilation, presenting four new artists to look ahead to in 2022.

The release kicks off with Moscow producer @rnbwssound, who has been building a name for himself with recent appearances on labels like Nehza, Kouncil Cuts, and Cyberjit. ‘Till I Get Enough’ is a pounding, breaks-led track based around an addictive vocal, acting as a statement of intent for the rest of the compilation.

Up next is London-based newcomer Gesture (@kresc) – whose first ever track ‘Skynet’ is a barrage of lurching bass, glitched-out vocals, and erratic breaks.

The third track on the compilation comes from Edinburgh-based @feena112, who has broken into the city’s club scene as a resident of the city’s Miss World collective, and honed her production skills as part of the Scuffed artist development scheme throughout 2021. ‘Dead Digits’ sees Feena combining eerie pads and a powerful Reese with elements of dubstep, breaks and garage.

Closing out the release is @rumu, who debuted on Dusky’s 17 Steps label in 2020 and has since seen across-the-board support on BBC Radio 1, NTS, Rinse and Balamii. He joins the Scuffed camp with ‘Splinter’, a frantic electro-inspired stinger.

Out Dec 10th.

@leshlingi debuts on Scuffed Recordings with three tracks spanning anthemic breaks, wonky UK techno and percussive club music.

Born in Iceland and now based in London, INGI has begun to make a name for himself in the UK’s club scene with his brand of broken UK club music, pulling on influences from across the electronic music spectrum.

His ‘Wrestle’ EP on Fly By Night Recordings was released at the end of 2021 and saw support from the likes of Madam X, Danielle, Anastasia Kristensen, and Frazer Ray.

Starting off proceedings on the EP is the electrifying title track ‘Fade’, anchored around glitched-out vocals and powerful breaks.

Up next is ‘Kurt’, an altogether more leftfield club track with swung percussion, robotic bass stabs, and metallic synth work.

Closing out the release is ‘Point’, whose staccato vocal stabs and rolling percussion pay homage to some of the best of UK techno and bass music.

‘First Word’ boasts a classic LeftLeft style beat, with sub-heavy kicks leading the charge, while a playful melody weaves in and out, and squelches and squeaks litter the track giving an uncanny, esoteric feel.
