‘The Pulse of Iron’ an apt reflection of modern progression into the unknown industrial world. It comes from Naarm based artist, Consulate who has found a home on Pure Space Records for our 10th label release. On this EP, Consulate delivers four tracks of dance music for the dystopian with a slick DnB sheen.

Completing the A-side is ‘Spec 4’, a subtly staunch percussive track that is fuelled by acute vocal sampling, weighty breaks and a hypnotic dub infused bassline.

‘Here beyond man’s judgements all covenants were brittle.’

Consulate - Spec 4

@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.

@peshkamusic - Ruined Archives EP [Self-released]
https://peshkamusic.bandcamp.com/album/ruined-archives-ep

This album gathers tracks recorded between 2016 and 2018, at home in Mariupol — a city that no longer exists as it once did. For a long time, I hesitated to release them, holding onto these sounds in fear and uncertainty, but life moves so quickly that I’m afraid I might not get another chance — so let them live, at least, within the memory of the world’s vast network. These pieces were thought lost when the house and computer that held them were destroyed in the war. Restored from a damaged hard drive, they return now as fragile echoes of a life before the silence: memories of a place erased, moments preserved in sound, and the quiet ache of everything that can’t be rebuilt.

Tied together by syncopated rhythms and broken beats, each producer featured brings their own style, tempo and atmosphere. The first release from this new imprint provides a range and depth that reflects Bristol’s musical versatility, from newcomer Syz whose contribution follows highly praised releases on Only Ruins and Brotherhood Sound System, to some of the city’s newest party starters to rise through the ranks.

The journey begins with Syz and Yushh, both showcasing intricate percussion and delicate melodies that roll with energy over subby baselines. On the flip, Mish brings a chugged out, wobbly techno treasure with hints of dancehall rhythms. Mulengasound then bringing the atmosphere and space, perfect for that warm-up transition and Balouu’s playful Egyptian melodies and strong, Arabesque synth-lines close the party.

All five tracks ooze individuality, yet subtly tie together with influences and sounds of a city that naturally nurtures progressive experimentalism. Pressure Dome’s offering is a fine example of burgeoning collective, with likeminded producers set on an uncompromising approach to the broken beat.

More Cowbell established themselves in summer of 2019, rising through the scene as a Facebook community, pushing all things percussive and bass driven within the UK techno realm. With support from Keysound Recordings, Rinse FM and Keep Hush, the collective has made its mark as the catalyst for reigniting a fractured scene. With this success under their belt, 2020 see’s the launch of their label. The first instalment of their release roster reflects the label’s heavy influence from early 2000’s 2step, as well as the post-dubstep era that merged the sounds of dubstep and techno.

Manchester based producer, Monir, has delivered a three track EP which explores the realms of 130BPM, taking influence from the raw, UK sounds of early Wen and Pinch, whilst incorporating the shuffle of 2-Step drums respective of El-B and Ghost Recordings. The first track, entitled ‘Collusion’, sets the EP’s tone with low-swung bass pressure and layered subs. Whilst the second track, Overpass, pays homage to the early FWD>>> sound with heavy, bouncing 808’s built for the system. The EP finishes off with a track entitled ‘The Instinct’, connecting 2-step inspired drums to aggressive vocal chops that encapsulate UK sound system culture.
