A versatile approach characterises Manuela Mannarini AKA Yas Reven’s ‘HARD20’, her debut release dropping on DJ Cosworth’s Bristol-based Hardline label. It draws on bass, techno, and club around the 140bpm template, coming with a hefty dose of infectious energy and creative rhythms. As a DJ, the Milan-based artist is well established in her homeland, having played all over Italy, including a Boiler Room session at Polifonic Festival last summer. “For my debut release, I began the project thinking that I didn't want to focus on a specific genre, but rather, I wanted to experiment with various genres with extreme freedom and without limitations. The project indeed, consisting of three different tunes, represents a sonic adventure encompassing diverse paths fueled by passion and born out of the necessity to make the body move.” - Yas Reven The rubbery and elastic grooves of ‘WHoO-Oo!’ in Yas Reven’s ‘HARD20’ bounce up and down as light vocal chops keep up the energy. Following suit, the Dublin-based Dylan Fogarty skillfully flips the track into a straight-up techno pumper with warm, forceful kicks and insistent synth stabs to take things to the next level. The compelling broken beats of Yas Reven’s ‘Sensible Shoes’, marked by its vast hits and supersized drums, keep things moving via warped vocal bass and string-like stabs. Closing out the EP, the innovative rhythms of ‘Little Breake’ then has its percussion scattered around a booming kick, making for a dynamic and unpredictable groove that is sure to work the floor into a frenzy.

INGI (@leshlingi) returns to Scuffed Recordings with four new intricately-crafted club tracks on his Shaker EP.

Icelandic-born, London-based INGI first appeared on Scuffed in 2022 with his Fade EP, an exploration of breaks, percussion and bass weight which saw support from the likes of object blue, Surgeon, Breaka, and Manami.

Since then, INGI has honed his skills as an artist and DJ, as a co-founder of London party and label Elastics, and resident at “your favourite festival’s favourite festival” Floorless. INGI’s sound is a love letter to the London and Manchester scenes that he came up in, flitting between UK club influences but impossible to pin down to one sound alone.

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."

GTEP04 excitingly welcomes german producer Kid Kun to Ghosttown Records. These three productions beautifully display Kid Kun´s personal take on modern, UK schooled techno hybridity. “Creep” introduces the listener to an industrial soundscape, spiced by eerie vocal chops. It’s undeniably dark, but powerfully driving energy continues to evolve with “Recharge” whose grimy claps fuse with thundering basslines. “Saturn”, finally, takes Kid Kuns sound to the faster paced realms where it hypnotically nods at DnB infused steppers. To round off the EP in style, Berlin based Cocktail Party Effect takes on “Creep” and transforms it into the ultimate uptempo roller. All through, a powerful display of high-end dancefloor-tools. GTEP04 is out 24th of May via Ghosttown Records.
