Fresh off of appearances on Shogun Audio and our own Full Fat 01, Athena returns to demonstrate her versatility with two choice slices of delectable breakbeat soul.
‘Take Flight’ has lots of the qualities we love in a track; snappy breaks, lots of filtering,  soulful vocal snips, lovely warm bass, lots of space and lastly its a bit...well...sad.  There’s something quite soothing in this pensive space though. Music to cleanse the mind in these troubled times!
‘Eunoia’ continues exploring the same techniques to wonderful effect. This time though it feels much more joyous. I don’t know what flavour you call this but give us a double helping!

Goldtop Drum & Bass Guest Mix 20 // Alpha Rhythm

Introducing our new EP series 'Nuggets': Here at Goldfat we're always digging for gold, and for our first EP in the series we have unearthed four precious nuggets from four stellar artists.

First up it’s the return of Athena with ‘Bayside Groove’. From the opening note, we’re instantly transported to a waterside scene with the sound of waves, gulls, chatter and playful laughter. Flutes gently flutter, a saxophone teases and an acoustic guitar is plucked with a carefree attitude. Drums anchor the jazzy vibes into place before we’re treated to some extra funky double bass.

Athena - Bayside Groove

Introducing our new EP series 'Nuggets': Here at Goldfat we're always digging for gold, and for our first EP in the series we have unearthed four precious nuggets from four stellar artists.

Aydn debuts on Goldfat with ‘No Ride Home’. A melancholy piano plays and dialogue provides a cinematic feel before Aydn brings in his minimal but funky drums. The bass follows the piano line and sets the groove before we’re introduced to vocal tales of heartache and a love that ‘can't be found’. Simple yet fresh!

Aydn - No Ride Home

pyxis makes a welcome return to the fat with two cuts demonstrating her trademark ‘light and dark’ style.

‘Moonshadow’ opens with skippy breaks and lovely wonky keys that conjure the sound of an old record. Soulful vocals carry you through before a funky bass drops setting the groove. pyxis deftly weaves her magic sounds in and out of the track with a little extra added stardust along the way. Interstellar!

‘Opium’ finds pyxis in much of the same artistic space. The vocal sample speaks of being ‘here when you need somebody’ but this soundscape is not entirely happy, in fact it’s kind of sad. The mid section provides momentary catharsis before some dark synth lines bring us sharply back. The track title definitely adds depth to the narrative. Intoxicating!

Last year Aydn gave us ‘No Ride Home’ for the first of our Nuggets series and we were so impressed with his fresh, youthful take on liquid that we asked him to keep sending us music. It didn’t take us too long to secure these two beauties and we hope you dig these as much as we do.

‘Circuit Prayer’ features the Mancunian wordsmith Nat James delivering some serious drip with his laid back flow and electric metaphors over Aydn’s crispy drums, fresh keys and twisting bass. Effortless!

‘Left Apart’ finds Aydn flexing his sample chops with this rushing, funky, fizzy concoction. Blippy atmospherics, r&b vocal chops and amens go down like an energising cocktail. Vibrant and zingy!

Released March 25, 2022 on Goldfat Records

Aydn - Circuit Prayer (Featuring. Nat James)

As the nights draw in and it gets colder we’ve got the perfect sounds for those contemplative moments drifting on the ether. Goldfat presents the first single taken from the upcoming EP 'Nuggets 04'.

‘Affection’ from Brainwork & mnml sets the tone with sci-fi pads, a dash of computer bleeps, emotive vocal samples, crisp drums and rich bass all find their space creating a vast sea of vibes. Wavey!

Brainwork & mnml - Affection

Goldfat welcomes back South London soundman, Counter Culture to hit us with some trademark, dubbed out, arctic fresh flavours.

‘Goldfinch’ rolls with deep, frosty atmospherics until the bass rips through. Counter Culture carefully sustains the drama whilst flipping his beat and bass elements with ease. Magical stylings!

‘One Time’ again finds this artist sharing his love for dub and soundsystem culture. A few simple ingredients; breaks, stabs, mc samples and bass are all he needs to deliver this hearty, warming dish. Good for you like Ital Stew!

Goose Fat Records presents…

Last Christmas as a special gift to all of our supporters and a way to say thank you, we are gave away a free dub pack of 4 killer remixes from the Goldfat back catalogue. After much demand we decided to give them a proper release.

Dustkey joins the Fatfam remixing ‘Evergreen’ by Auris & Sydney and injects some freshness with super funky sliding bass and heavenly keys.

Digital Native flips Athena’s Goldfat classic ‘Take Flight’ into a rib shaking, wall slapping affair we didn’t even know we needed until we heard it.

Auris handles pyxis ‘Lacuna’. Rolling breaks and smooth bass meet pyxis’s sonic dreamscape with ease.

Lastly Leniz reworks Artsea’s ‘When I’m With You’. Nostalgic vibes run deep as Leniz brings out a heavy reese bass and chunky rolling beats. Last tune of the night business!

On behalf of all the Fatfam, thank you for all the love you’ve shown us. We hope you enjoy this release and each of you had a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year.

Artsea - When I'm With You (Leniz Remix)

It’s been a while since we put out any music by Goldfat founder Mitekiss. In that time he’s carved out a name for himself working with titan labels such as Shogun Audio and Hospital Records, who released two albums showing Mitekiss as a true artist who digs deep and brings heart and emotion to his sound.

It’s no surprise then that for his first outings back with the label he started he has delivered two stunning works of that melancholy soul he does so well. 

Following with ‘Smashed Lies’ Mitekiss continues his exploration of icy terrains. The drums cut through with ease and clarity bringing some heat as the bass offers space for life’s contemplations. Primal music for the winter season!

Love Me, Haunt Me / Smashed Lies

Mitekiss - Smashed Lies

Goldfat welcomes back our Dutch friend Auris for some more winter vibes. 

‘Verkeerd’ has Auris flexing some rolling, techy styles perfect for staring out at winter landscapes or zoning out to in the club. Hypnotic pads, snappy drums and a heaving bass line combine gorgeously to create a deep introspective feel but there’s something uneasy in Auris’s pads and synths. 

Burn some sage and play during the witching hour for full effects!

Auris - Verkeerd // GFR048

Mitekiss returns to the Fat with the Mancunian beat maker, Kublai and together they’ve crafted this seasons must have.

Goldfat brings you ‘Raincoat’. Crispy breaks, filtered keys, a dreamy vocal and a splash of twinkle fill the soundscape with a sense of calm and space before the bass gets to wobbling.

Disclaimer: Raincoat does not keep you dry…in fact this riddim might even have you skankin in the rain.

Hobzee - Goldtop Drum & Bass Guest Mix #32 - Drum & Bass

Counter Culture is back with two blisteringly hot tracks demonstrating why he’s one of our favourite producers right now. 

‘Lift Me Up’ starts building the drama from the get go before an infectious vocal refrain teases into an earth cracking drop. Militant stepping drums, sinister synth lines and serious sub lows drive this track forward until the synth pulls out leaving space for some gorgeous techno atmospherics. Chunky!

On ‘BOSCO’ we’re treated to more trademark dub vibes but this time at a slower tempo. Counter Culture draws on his love of garage for this unexpected yet irresistible flex. Oh gosh, watch the ride!

Goldfat Show with Mitekiss #26

Goldfat welcomes Kray into the fold with 2 exquisite techy, liquid bangers.

For ‘The Sunset Strip’ Kray collaborates with Unchained Music co-founder Lyndon Jarr (we do love Unchained!) and they’ve conjured up some neon city inspired magic guaranteed to get you moving. Rolling beats, a super catchy vocal line, red hot bass and some killer 80’s styled guitars tie this track together. For maximum effect grab your shades, turn up the volume and pretend you’re riding in a 1980s Lambo.

On ‘Beyond the Horizon’ Kray draws his inspiration from black holes and the vastness of space. Rolling drums, eerie synths and a smattering of dark matter electrify this track. Supernova sounds for traveling to the edge of the universe!

Kray, Lyndon Jarr - The Sunset Strip

Aydn returns to the fat with 2 sublime workouts to warm the soul.

‘Peyto’ named after the famous Canadian lake finds Aydn diving into a deep blue soundscape.

Icy pads, blippy techno, rolling beats, smooth bass and some carefully used r&b vocals create a calming zen vibe.

We love these tracks. They offer moments of much needed peace from a stressful world we’re living in right now.

Aydn returns to the fat with 2 sublime workouts to warm the soul.

On ‘Macchi’ Aydn continues his journey through icy sonic landscapes that conjure the ethereal.

What better way to start a new year on the Fat than with some new pyxis.

‘Into the Light’ is trademark pyxis, it shines brightly and energetically but there’s still those unsettling undertones we expect in this artists work.

Warm, fizzy, rolling soul for the new year. Enjoy!

‘Garrat Lane’ is an ode to this artists ends. Rolling, deep and ethereal with nods to techno and dub like we’ve come to expect from this artist. This is the perfect soundtrack to zone out to whilst navigating through a typically crazy night in South London. 

‘Cling’ pulls you back to your senses with snappy rolling beats and a killer, grimey bassline to move any hardened junglist. Time to get your screwface on. After all this South London affair!
