Goldfat Records Present ‘Full Fat’ Volume 1

For our 25th release we’ve decide to celebrate with our very first album. 13 cuts deep, from #Fatfam artists old and new and packed with flavour this is no semi-skimmed affair.

Opening the album is our debut release from IYRE. ‘Fragments’ bubbles up from the ether into some gorgeous, raspy, contorting, liquid soul that sets the stage with an aura of mystique. Sounds like alchemy.

Another debut, this time it’s Note with ‘This Work’. Dreamy pads and vocal snips lead us in and envelope us in sound like a warm blanket before dropping into funky basslines and super tight shuffing beats. Pitched up vocals with a UKG feel add to the comfy nostalgia.

Back on the Fat again, It’s pyxis with ‘Orbs’. Warping pads, emotional vocal cuts and upright drums lull us into calm before a chunky bassline licks us sideways. Pyxis brings her trademark style of darkness and light in equal measure with a dusting of magic.

Geeks brings us an eerie, twisted vibe with ‘Reluctance’. Rolling drums, bumping 808s, a tear out reese, energising break chops, haunting sci-fi synths and a dash of suspense really set this one off. Spooky!

On ‘Altruist’ Auris shows us a whole different side to his previous jazzy excursions. This track opens with dreamy ambient vocal samples and the suggestion of looming menace before it lets rip with some red hot molten beats and bass. Auris ramps up the distortion on his mids before letting his bass drop to blistering effect.

Athena debuts with ‘Next Door Reality’ and shows us why she was one of the EQ50 Mentorship winners this year. Beginning like a sequence from a sci-fi movie before the unleashing of dirty bass and half time drums. Full of space and drama with flourishes of amen this one is impeccable.

Easy goes straight for the sweet spot with ‘Push’. Amens, filtered pads, pianos, vocal chops and subs; all the perfect ingredients for some feel good, Jungle inspired vibes. Vibrant and energising like a crisp sunny morning.

Telomic delivers some proper snappy liquid goodness with ‘By My Side’. Smooth as butter drums and bass with some gorgeous filtered pads get your body moving and some catchy vocal samples seal the deal. Pure class.

Digital Native debuts with ‘Soon I Promise’. Filtered pianos immediately command our attention and we know something beautiful is about to happen. His use of piano, breaks and bass takes us back to the classic mid 90’s era but with a slightly more contemporary mix, feel and arrangement. Bliss!

On ‘Chancu’ Shiva goes straight in with double bass plucks before introducing his funky percussion. Bongos and maracas instantly transport us to a warmer climate. Shiva takes us on his journey as he introduces his instruments in then out like players in a jazz band. Soulful with an air of melancholy.

Kublai and Note collaborate to give us ‘All The Things’. Crispy drums, filtered piano chops, pulsating bass notes, bongos and super catchy vocal snippets. This is finesse manifested.

Artsea comes through like a breath of fresh air with ‘Discovery’. Rolling drums, smooth subs and a touch of atmospherics keep everything spacious. Like sitting on a bed of clouds.

Closing the album is ‘Losing Direction’ from Winslow featuring Mr Porter. Winslow brings his trademark funk, his viola and even sings the hook: all showing us why he’s peeked so much attention over the last year. Mr Porter drops in to deliver some bars about philosophy, life and love and its a wrap.

DIS170 sees the welcome return of label favourite Wreckless, back again with a five-track EP packed with the depth and intricate progression that make up his trademark sound.

Opening the EP is a track that perfectly contrasts deep gritty drums with beautiful synth pads and lead arps, 'As Memory Fades' is an ode to the fragility of the mind and holding on to lost memories.

Channelling the spirit of the old school 98 sound, Wreckless makes the most of the minimal nature of tunes from this era with 'Thick Cotton Blends' and 'What You Wanted'. Working with as few elements as possible to recreate the punch and energy tunes from this era have, each sound hand-tuned to perfection.

'Awoken' is inspired by the nature of inspiration striking at all times of the day, Wreckless has to modify his body clock to make the most of the creative spark that can hit at any time of day or night.

The introspective 'Thought Patterns' completes the EP, a deep progressive tune featuring a synth that pays homage to an old Channel 4 advert that still inspires Wreckless today.

Dash - Get Busy (OUT NOW)

Oak's 'No Sunrise' assembles nine rediscovered tracks from Oak’s early Microfunk era — works that slipped between releases, vanished with old labels or lived on only in rumours. Most of the material traces back to around 2009, when Oak’s detailed, cinematic approach to drum and bass and forward-thinking electronic music quietly shaped the movement’s foundations. The clarity of his craft still stands out: fine-grained percussion, rich harmonic work and that unmistakable sense of space he carved into everything.

The collection folds in some of Oak’s most whispered-about works: Boxcutter’s rare remix, the alternate Firebird version and the long-mystified title track No Sunrise, known until now only from Commix’s Fabriclive mix. Alongside them sits Untold, written years later, darker than the rest, driven by thick low-end pressure and a murky halfstep groove wrapped in deep, dub-soaked atmosphere.

Paired with Ricky Trickartt’s sketch-led artwork in the spirit of the Lost Dubs series, the collection arrives as extra-limited 10-inch lathe cuts and high-grade RTM cassettes. A long-hidden chapter of Oak’s work finally made visible.
