Lead single Credit makes an immediate impression with a swaggering beat that feels otherworldly while remaining true to the crucial knock and swing of traditional UKG. The venomous Little Simz vocal sample drips viciously in cavernous reverb to introduce a bouncy bassline that warps itself over deep and devastating sub-bass.

The climax to the EP's journey twists a spritely light-hearted playfulness into the stomp of a behemoth, with bass-heavy groans that echo like mountains while moving relentlessly through a drunken shuffle of percussion. A UK bass track that incorporates Prizefight's love and knack for groove and duality, Break Thru absolutely begs to be heard on the biggest soundsystems available to humankind.

In the headbanging finale to Prizefight's modern tales of UKG, Maintenance's grime vocal samples give a nod to the culture's evolution and fortify the beat's undeniable swing. A sinister fifth-driven bassline suavely glides its way throughout, effortlessly adding an attitude to the infectious arrogance and bravado of Dizzee's rhymes.

PREMIERE

This That from Amraks upcoming 'Desolate" EP out on eclectic Dec 9.

https://eclecticsydney.bandcamp.com/album/desolate

Teasing an unobtrusive break, 'This That' sees snares provide suppressed sonic swells amid an enveloping brassy drone. Repitched organics deliver accompanying depth, giving way to a destructive, paint-peeling peak. Harnessing subdued sustain, a distortion-fuelled bass noise assumes command, dragging its offsiders along the rocky desert floor.

Spring ‘23 sees Faux Poly release the first in a series of remix compilations, 8 tracks from a different artists across multiple genres.

‘Faux Poly: Remixed 001’ marks the start of the label’s new regularly quarterly remix series, where a wide variety of producers are invited to pick anything from the label catalogue and reimagine it, making the core sounds of the label transcend their original setting and permeate through different club scenes around the world.

Highlights for FPR001 include Skudge’s unmistakable sound with Kassian’s flagship track ‘Off World Vehicles’, which has already garnered ongoing support from the likes of Ben UFO and Dixon, New Zealander newcomer Emanuel’s incredibly rowdy flip of Jay Carder’s A1 single ‘Eva’s Stoned’, and a club focussed change of tone from Demi Riquisimo, taking a left turn from his regular house influenced style with a choppy breakbeat remix of Jay Carder’s ‘So Carelessly’.

So Carelessly (Demi Riquísimo Remix)

PREMIERE: Jay Carder - So Carelessly (Demi Riquisimo Remix)

Pangaea returns to his own Hessle Audio imprint with 'Installation' - cut-up vocals collide with an instantly memorable, pop inflected, queasily fidgeting bassline hook. Dancefloor carnage with a techno-pop sensibility.

Following his 2022 ‘Natural Selection’ EP and music on Comma Trax, Troubleshoot Recordings, and Draconian Audio, Scaefa returns to La bonne musique with three nostalgic club cuts. The London party and label has built a roster of talent comprised of artists like Sempra, Small Crab and Akumen, with a catalogue of quality rave music spanning techno, bass, and breaks. “I spent a lot of time listening to 90s trance and UK jungle/hardcore pirate radio mixes whilst making these tunes, and the result is an amalgam of breaks/techno/trance and ambient moments. This project is nostalgic musically and emotionally, with the tracks made in a period of my life spent looking back/reflecting on the past. I find the music to be both euphoric and melancholic at times.” - Scaefa ‘Symbiosis’ opens up Scaefa’s ‘Ambrosia’ EP with mysterious swirling synths, anticipation building before culminating into a racy Reese bass finish, this is before ‘Locate’ continues with more breakbeats which carefully carve and slice their way through rich melodies and vibrant stabs. 

The title track is up next, pads swelling in the background as pitched-up vocals and a subtle 303 complement its fast-paced jungle drums. La bonne musique co-founder n_o, formerly known as bad internet, closes out the release, turning ‘Locate’ into a retro acid techno and house hybrid complete with exhilarating stabs and organic rhythm.

This summer sees the second instalment of Faux Poly’s remix compilation series. Round 2 features an eclectic selection of artists close to and admired by label bosses Kassian. 

Kicking off the compilation is a cavernous, trance inspired reinterpretation of Kassian’s ‘No Clear Shape’ by Manchester’s Homoelectric resident Gina Breeze. Following is Will Hoffbauer with a characteristically leftfield flip of Ste Roberts’ ‘Diego’s Mad Hour, who’s somehow gotten away with dunking a huge techno track into his bubble bath.

Another highlight comes from Rotterdam-based duo Black Cadmium, stepping up for their first ever remix together. Their dark electro inspired take on Ste Roberts’ ‘Dirty Politician’ is bursting with energy, holding onto the mood of Ste’s original with their own added signature groove.

Completing the lineup is London’s Third Son, Niceup, Void Complet, plus contributions from label bosses Warren Xclnce and Danvers.
