Deeper (Battle Plate)

Deeper

Cressida has carved a space in the hollows between UK bass culture and Berlin's techno heritage, skilfully siphoning the finer side of breakbeat, garage, grime without ever falling into lanes of predictability. This sonic identity he's built has firmly levelled up with "Can You Sleep Like This" - his most personal record to date. This is Cressida not just paying an ode to UK electronic music lineage, but cementing a place within it.

He'd never been superstitious before but recent events had led him to start questioning things; or "looking deeper" as he called it. Until now these occurrences had been dubbed as coincidences, as pure luck or chance - be that good or bad, though it predominantly ended up being the latter. Cursed was a strong word but that was what he'd resigned himself to believing.

It's been three years since Bristol stalwart Appleblim landed on fellow local imprint Sneaker Social Club. His 2018 LP 'Life In A Laser' also marks one of his last outings period, so we're pretty stoked to see him return with a second long player for the label - the first to be released via tape. On 'Infinite Hieroglyphics' Appleblim gives himself to the technology, flexing his singular production abilities through an expansive range of styles and sounds that pull from techno, electro and rave music.

PREMIERE: Appleblim - Opal Moon [Sneaker Social Club]

After turning heads with this debut EP for our own naivety sublabel, Hassan Abou Alam is back and more than ready to cement his rep as Cairo’s foremost breakbeat master. This Egyptian lover of all things choppy and rave-y cooks up another epic sonic assault on the ears and subwoofers, designing a crafty and detailed 5-tracker that will not only rattle but stun.

A focused but playful energy runs throughout the entirety of the record, initiating things with the fat beats and the bleep-y bassline of “It Spills”, building towards the X-files atmosphere of ‘Unkindled’ and carrying the vibe on to the B-side for three more cuts of subby, tranced-out alien funk. B-side tracks “Breathe” and “Khamassen” bring on a deeper blend of complex funk patterns, elastic bass and mysterious samples while still moving the dance in the most superlative of ways. Finally, bringing things to sweet culmination, the more rugged and raw beats of final track  “All Used Up” ride along expansive, wide-eyed melodies, resonant acid and a pinch of late 90s surfer-traveller optimism.

We close 2021 with our annual Scuffed Presents compilation, presenting four new artists to look ahead to in 2022.

The release kicks off with Moscow producer @rnbwssound, who has been building a name for himself with recent appearances on labels like Nehza, Kouncil Cuts, and Cyberjit. ‘Till I Get Enough’ is a pounding, breaks-led track based around an addictive vocal, acting as a statement of intent for the rest of the compilation.

Energy Source itself, is a brand new forthcoming imprint/label featuring tracks on the more experimental spectrum of club music. Drifting through the sounds of IDM, Funky, Ambient, Techno and Electronica, the proceeds for each release will be donated to Bristol Foodbanks/Trussell Trust. With austerity prevalent in society with the government cutting corners wherever they can, it’s a necessity to use our skills to help people.
