Danny Goliger has been steadily rising as one of the forefront bass & techno producers in L.A. for several years with releases on staple labels such as Dirtybird, Scuffed Recs, 3024 & Magic City alongside his residency on the renowned Dublab Radio. We are super excited to welcome him to the Faux Poly family with his stunning EP 'Say I Do.'

In Danny's own words: "Inspiration was pretty wide ranging on this EP. From UK funky, to dembow, to dubstep, post-dubstep, and garage. I've incorporated elements of these grooves and aesthetics into modern bassy club tracks."

The EP blends together two 4x4 rollers with "Say I Do" and "Weightless," alongside halftime bass led dubstep tracks "Gimme That" and "Pearls." All of these ideas were born out of modular hardware jams and delivered with Danny's distinctive ear for detail. The whole EP has already become a firm favourite within the Faux Poly family, and if you've seen any of us play this summer, then chances are you've been lucky enough to hear these on a big system already.

Words from Danny:
"I'm hoping with this record to capture the feeling of club experiences that are dark and moody, while also maintaining an ethereal lightness.Tunes that are bass-y and gritty in tone but not necessarily heavy and aggressive. Something meditative and maybe slightly introspective to keep people locked in."

Danny Goliger - Say I Do [FP012]

We welcome London-based selectors Rosie Cain & Nadia Harris aka Kiara Scuro to join the label family, kicking off the 2025 year with their debut EP Night Crush.

The pair are well established DJ’s and have been on the European festival circuit for several years already, having also held down long standing residences at Rinse FM and Balamii before that.

Night Crush delivers 3 low-end focussed rolling club tools. Each track captures a huge sense of scale with shimmering delayed vocals and ethereal synths focussed around rhythmic rolling bass lines.

Words from Kiara Scuro:
For this EP we took inspiration from our favourite club memories across our 8 year journey as a duo. As we hadn’t known each other long before we started djing together, our friendship was formed over hazy nights gigging in some incredible places. We used a mixture of our own vocals and samples to conjure up an image of those late night club sets where the mist is flowing from the smoke machine and no one cares what time is, it’s always Witching Hour. We wrote the first two tracks originally, over and over until they became stripped away with barely any melody, so there’s nothing to carry you through, you can just get lost in the weirdness. Track 3, Zeki’s Dream, was written when Nadia was at the end of her pregnancy, inspired by her Lebanese roots, it’s a dedication to her son. All three tracks are tied together with the same group of drum sounds / percussive elements.

Guava returns to Faux Poly as the first artist to release a second EP on the label. Shifting gears into a faster, Techno-focused territory all whilst breaking up the EP with his immersive signature oscillating Dub-Techno-esque atmospherics. This new record is a departure from Afterglow, further embracing light and dark moods with a hypnotic intensity throughout that feels both urgent yet deeply considered.

This release opens a new chapter for Guava, as he embraces the weight and velocity of the dancefloor without sacrificing his signature playfulness. The result is a dynamic, high-energy follow-up that solidifies his evolving sound making ’All Out’ the perfect next step for both the artist and the label.

Words from Guava:

This record was written in a flow state. For me, it was the most enjoyable EP I’ve made, and I think you can hear that in the music. It came about due to a slight shift in mindset regarding the creative process. I started by making an Ableton template as a way to limit my options. I spent a couple of days trying to nail a sound - referencing and experimenting with different instruments. I would then set a timer and “mess up” what I had created. The deal was that I could do anything I wanted.

This approach was a game-changer for me because it created a cohesive sound across all the tracks. A lot of my process was inspired by one of my heroes, Alexander Rodchenko, a photographer and graphic artist from the Soviet Union. What fascinated me most was the limitations he worked with - he didn’t have access to the fancy digital tools we use today. There was something about that constraint that I envied, and I wanted to bring a similar sense of restriction into my own creative process

`Running In Your Area` is our third release of 2022 from label bosses @kassiansound. The release solidifies the mood of the label, moving towards a heavier techno sound just in time for their Berlin debut at Panorama Bar this summer. 

`Off World Vehicles` is simple and surprisingly explosive, a weighty statement techno track suited for bigger rooms, featuring a slow churning acid line and cavernous vocal loop.

Running In Your Area

Kassian - Off World Vehicles [FP003]

PREVIEWS: soundcloud.com/fauxpoly/remixed-003-previews

Faux Poly wrap up the first wave of remixes to their early catalogue with Remixed:003. Once again calling on friends & family throughout the scene to contribute something new to the early sounds that established the imprint back in 2022.

Kicking things off is Edmondson with a stunning garage reinterpretation of Kassian’s ‘San Junipero’, the track that launched Faux Poly. Labelmate Ste Roberts’ follows up with a bursting dancefloor flip of ‘Actions’, and Manuel Darquart joins the ranks with an intricate Italo-inspired version of ‘Off World Vehicles’. Poison Zcora’s impressive melody-driven adaptation of ‘No Clear Shape’ draws inspiration from Funk, Afrobeat and Broken Beat, blending chords with off-kilter melancholy melodies. Christian Nielsen's curveball remix builds on a darker Techno aesthetic half-timing and transforming via a completely unexpected Dub breakdown.

Blomfelt & Narby, as well as Long Island Sound, seamlessly fuse big room Trance elements with intimate Electronica harmonies and melodies Bristol based duo Earthnut delivered a playful Garage pinger of Jay Carder's heavy hitter 'Eva's Stoned’, whilst Tom Jarmey’s remix of her track ‘Reverse Disorder’ pays homage to the expansive sound design of Dub and Trip-Hop. Completing the lineup is Geneva-based DJ and producer Olive T with a stunning ethereal remix of Akkala Falls, and finally London’s Joel Blaise with a groove filled lofi remix, rounding off another Faux Poly: Remixed series.

2023 has been a great year for Bradley Hutchings aka Guava. Alongside many successful dance singles and remixes, his self-released debut album ‘Out Of Nowhere’ is a gorgeous blend of indie electronica that steps away from his typical club focussed productions. 2024, however, sees Guava move back towards the dancefloor with his latest EP Afterglow, which drops on Faux Poly on March 8th. Since rooting himself in Berlin, Guava has drawn inspiration from across the different facets of the city, something that is strongly reflected in this release.

The opening track ‘Angel’ is a dark trip, born out of experiments with reverb and guitar harmonics influenced by UK Bass and Dubstep, an ethereal techno track described by the artist as “guitar music for Berghain”. Next up is ‘140 Drums’, an essential DJ club tool, a chopped stuttering break and hoover bass roll through a restrained but surprisingly heavy hitting finale to the EP. 

‘F641’ accelerates with continuously pitching synth stabs and a rumbling low end. Inspired by F1, the track hits hard and never stops ramping up. Finally the title track ‘Afterglow’ brings a lightness and warmth to the release, delicately catchy and rooted with a bouncy house beat, the sound of Berlin in Guava’s productions is unmistakably clear. 

Words from Guava:
"Putting together this EP has been a joy for me. All of the tracks are little bookmarks for the past year. I live in Berlin, and it has had an immersive effect on my music. From the grey and cold winters, trudging down a windy street in Warschauer Straße, to the hot summer in Neukolln, where the air is thick and warm, and dance music echoes off the city buildings

PREVIEW: Guava - Afterglow [FP008]

not even noticed are an incredibly talented German duo who have been laser focussed on their signature sound since their foundation in 2020. Hailing from Frankfurt & Leipzig, Carsten & Lucas have amassed a gorgeous catalogue of music that incorporates the ethereality of Trance combined with the gritty, heads-down feeling of classic Acid House and Breakbeat. Their latest EP Source Transformation lands on Faux Poly this Spring.

This release showcases the artists inherent flair for treading the line between delicately uplifting melodies and rattling heavy bass. Each track conjures up a beautifully atmospheric future-acid world that is a dream to get lost in.

Words from the artist:
We started producing this EP in the late summer of 2023 in which some of our project’s biggest releases had dropped. Seeking for a way to stick to our signature sound without repeating ourselves we aimed for new grooves and patterns to combine with our sound sphere. The first three tracks of the EP were produced within one month, while Astral Surge was a few months older and happened to be rearranged to fit into the overall vibe of the EP. When Joe and Warren reached out to us to work with them on a Faux Poly project we had a feeling that these would be the tracks that could make an EP. We’re even more glad the feeling was mutual.

Light Beams

Culture

Faux Poly welcomes more newcomers to the label this summer, this time with a heady collaboration between Vancouver’s underground mainstay Max Ulis and Bristol-based Nina (aka 1/2 of DE-TÜ), featuring a bonus track with Adam 2.

Their EP Mythra was born out of opportunistic collaboration in Vancouver, while Nina was in town for a show. The lead track Culture was put together quickly and instantly the two artists knew that they were on to something good. This track, along with Bumpa & Papaya showcases a confident, hardware-focussed minimal techno sound with unmistakable elements of classic bass & dub. In-keeping with the Faux Poly imprint these tracks comfortably straddle multiple dance genres and are built for the club.

Finishing off the EP is the stellar dubstep curveball Testify, a collaboration between Max & Adam 2 using the unique Soma Enner synth alongside vocals from Nina.

Max has been instrumental in the building of Vancouver’s thriving underground and is a regular on the West Coast festival circuit. Max’s diverse music productions have found a home on labels such as Turbo, VRNT, Iile, Club Designs, Sloth Boogie and Thirty Year Recordings, and has seen support from DJs such as Ben Sims, Prosumer, Laurent Garnier, Roman Flugel, Anz, Skream, B. Traits, Soul Clap, and Om Unit.

Kiara Scuro - Night Crush [FP014] (Previews)

Our friends Kiara Scuro, the London-based duo made up of Rosie Ama and Nadia Harris, have built up a repertoire of spooky tracks over the last few years for the likes of fabric Originals, Ritmo Fatale and Accidental Meetings.

After hunkering down in the studio last year, they're now joining the Faux Poly family for their debut EP, Night Crush. Layering their own vocals with samples, the pair deliver three percussive, rolling club tools that draw inspiration from late, hazy nights spent together in the club; the place where their friendship blossomed.

Premiere: Kiara Scuro 'Twilight Tool'

Jonas Landwehr has been on our radar for some time now. Since his recent shift to melody driven, UK Bass inspired house music it seems like he can’t miss. These two tracks are no exception, and they’ve made regular appearances in our club sets since the day we heard them.

Words from Jonas:
"‘Next2U‘ & ’Ur Luv’ were both written with the same intention: heavy basslines contrasted with RnB influenced vocals. Both tracks serve as four-to-the-floor club tools with spherical breaks and a UKG inspired percussive drive. Contrast plays a strong role in my music. Here, mechanical textures meet soft noise, wooden percussion and powerful basses, all to support each other and put each other in the right light."

Our latest signing @wearekiarascuro kick off the year with their debut EP 'Night Crush' and the latest addition to the Faux Poly mix series. The duo are long standing DJ's in the London scene, expect proggy deep house, acid lines and low swung techno.

PREMIERE: Jonas Landwehr - Ur Luv [Faux Poly]

Madrid’s frankydrama joins the Faux Poly family with his latest EP And One. A set of instant classic Tech club tools that we’ve been warming up our sets with since he first shared them. Stripped back machine drums pair with bass led melodies and an unmistakable groove reminiscent of early Berlin Tech House. 

Fran has been a staple in the Madrid scene for over a decade, releasing records and running parties via his Criminal Crisis imprint. We’re honoured to link up with him and extend the label family into Spain for the first time.

"And One," the EP's title track, is a sleek, rolling Tech House cut driven by a punchy reliable bassline and standout vocal samples which cut through the mix. "Disconnected" follows suit, leaning into a hollow tone driven bass with a minimalist style arrangement making it a versatile tool for both high-energy moments and smoother, chilled-out transitions. Finally both mixes of “The Record” showcase Fran’s range with the first mix leaning into jackin’ House and the other embracing minimal Tech House elements. Together, these tracks highlight a producer skilled in crafting infectious grooves with precision and impact.

Words from frankydrama:

“And One is a significant step forward for this project.  Every track has a ton of hours in the studio for achieving this sound. The EP continues to blend past influences and future ambitions, fusing classic house patterns with bass music textures. The result is this 4-track EP mostly (and hopefully) built for the dance floor.”

Guava returns to Faux Poly as the first artist to release a second EP on the label. Shifting gears into a faster, Techno-focused territory all whilst breaking up the EP with his immersive signature oscillating Dub-Techno-esque atmospherics. This new record is a departure from Afterglow, further embracing light and dark moods with a hypnotic intensity throughout that feels both urgent yet deeply considered.

This release opens a new chapter for Guava, as he embraces the weight and velocity of the dancefloor without sacrificing his signature playfulness. The result is a dynamic, high-energy follow-up that solidifies his evolving sound making ’All Out’ the perfect next step for both the artist and the label.

Words from Guava:

"This record was written in a flow state. For me, it was the most enjoyable EP I’ve made, and I think you can hear that in the music. It came about due to a slight shift in mindset regarding the creative process. I started by making an Ableton template as a way to limit my options. I spent a couple of days trying to nail a sound - referencing and experimenting with different instruments. I would then set a timer and “mess up” what I had created. The deal was that I could do anything I wanted.

This approach was a game-changer for me because it created a cohesive sound across all the tracks. A lot of my process was inspired by one of my heroes, Alexander Rodchenko, a photographer and graphic artist from the Soviet Union. What fascinated me most was the limitations he worked with - he didn’t have access to the fancy digital tools we use today. There was something about that constraint that I envied, and I wanted to bring a similar sense of restriction into my own creative process."
