An elusive producer comes back with a new mantle: Ruff Cherry, last seen on the label in 2017, returns with an EP of shredded halftime drum & bass with jungle accents that etches out a dominating stance in the producer’s first foray outside the thresholds of techno. Hugely distant from a meager first stab at the genre, the Cork-based producer’s ‘Phantom Fortress’ EP proficiently demarcates a sparse battleground for conflicting and rhythmically harmonic drum flairs, enveloping bass, and taut sound design that is as compelling as it is exhilarating.

Paris-based DJ, Maemm shapes her style by navigating through different atmospheres. Her sets usually focus on hypnotic and raw sounds, sometimes with a hint of psychedelic tones. She also draws inspiration from ambient and more experimental genres, leading her to occasionally slow down the pace and delve into slow, vaporous atmospheres with very downtempo rhythms. Her love for exploring and discovering new sounds keeps her in a constant state of evolution.

Music has always been a fundamental pillar of his life. Starting with his father's jazz, rock and punk cassettes, he quickly developed a passion for various genres. This is still reflected in his sets today, as he is not afraid to experiment with different styles and build bridges between them. At the moment, romantim's sound can be defined as a mix of oldschool tribal, crunchy breakbeats and 90s trance with always a good amount of hips shaking grooves included.

Infotext:
Tessen were folding fans with concealed outer spokes made of heavy iron plates. Some swordsmanship schools provided training of the tessen as a weapon. Besides using the razor-sharp spokes as an attacking tool, the tessen was also used as a throwing weapon, for fending off knives and darts and as a swimming aid. Samurai could also secretly take them to places where overt weapons were not allowed.

Having grown up as a skater in a small town close to Munich, Farron, real name Christoph, began to build his musical foundation upon hip hop, reggae, and punk from an early age. Electronic music did not have a significant role in his early years, however his curiosity started to grow when he first permeated the nearby clubs in Munich. Christoph found himself entering exciting new realms after enriching visits to local club Harry Klein. With the following years spent visiting various clubs around the nearby Bavarian capital, as well as a growing interest in a wide range of artists and labels, his first sound was shaped and helped him build a music direction. As his studio equipment expanded, and after clocking up countless hours In his studio, the German producer, known LaChriz at the time, saw the fruits of his labour land on various labels such as Woods ’N Bass Records, Out-ER, Baud Music and more notably on Ilian Tape.
With the producer’s pursuit of independence, came the desire to establish his own label. A place that serves as a musical platform for not only himself, but somewhere that likeminded artists can also be invited to express themselves fully. His label Shaw Cuts, founded in 2015, was a milestone for the artist and was also responsible for Farron, the artist’s latest and most fruitful solo alias. Since the label’s genesis, we have seen the artist and label go from strength to strength – both amassing a very credible catalogue! Along-side the announcement of his freshly created platform, Farron also managed to land more releases on Forbidden Planet, Renascence, XCPT and Subosc.
In 2021, Farron also released on Berlin’s genre-bending label Voitax, where the two entities have zeroed in on a very unique and promising relationship. In the same year, he released his debut album 'Shinrin Yoku' on Shaw Cuts. 
Besides his studio work, Farron is constantly shaping his liveset with a versatile, free-spirited and personal approach. 
And there is more to come.
