After a fantastic year of quality releases featuring the likes of Otik, Cameo Blush, Demuja, Nikki Nair and Ivy Lab, legendary Australian label Future Classic now closes its 2023 with a compilation consisting of its heaviest hitters from the past year.

“In my eyes, each of these artists represents the refreshing and exceptionally talented voices and producers emerging in modern dance music at the moment. It’s been a pleasure to work across each of these releases, and I am excited to welcome Memphis LK and Stones Taro to the fold, too!” - Andy Garvey 

Among its twelve tracks sit two fresh new remixes and an original from the emerging Japanese artist Stones Taro. The first remix is by Memphis LK, who reimagines Sycco’s pop-infused, vocal-laced breakbeat track ‘Ripple’ to an evocative garage number. She is then followed by a DJ Slugo remix of Martyn Bootyspoon’s ‘These Nike Shox’. The ghetto house pioneer imbues an already pumping track with juking, boundless grooves, amplifying it for the dance to great effect.

“I loved 'Ripple' as soon as I heard it, what jumped out to me particularly was how much colour and personality the main synth sound has. I had so much fun chopping and creating my own version of that sound. I wanted to create a dirty crunchy breakbeat version of the track that still kept the playful and emotional energy of the original.” - Memphis LK

Stones Taro then provides us with ‘Final Rule’, fusing raw bass, hypnotic vocal snippets and gorgeous melodic soundscapes into a potent, psychedelic dancefloor trip carefully laid over a garage shuffle. Following years of growing global talent like Flume, Flight Facilities, and the late SOPHIE, this compilation shows us a glimpse of Future Classic’s promising future in the club.

Potential Energy marks an impressive label debut from London-based producer, and former Brighton music student, Delano. Although relatively new on the block, his productions uphold a sense of maturity and complexity, evidenced by recent support on BBC Radio 1, 6Music, and Boiler Room.

Comprised of 4 original tracks the EP stays true to its namesake; conjuring future rave fantasies that play on the build and release of tension, encapsulated by elements of trance euphoria, progressive techno and explosive bass & breaks.

Re-imaginings of ‘Close 2 U’ - from fellow label mate Debba and Keep Hush’s scg - bring things to a slower, stripped back focus, rounding off the release on two distinct chug and acid tides.

“I’m always on the hunt for old records” Delano explains, “but for this project I wanted to do the opposite, try to create sounds that spark ideas of what the clubs of the future could sound like”.

Dancefloor moments and community have also played a major role in shaping the EP: “I think the majority of my inspiration comes from the people around me. I’m lucky to be surrounded by a lot of very talented creators who share the same goals and ideals”.

INGI 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!
