The third instalment of our four-part 12" series features our favorite artists from around the world.

Melbourne's Pugilist opens the gates with 'Flip Trix.' It's a dub-drenched, broken techno hybrid with earth-shattering low-end throughout. This lengthy 130bpm track, with foggy breaks and frosty pads, smartly concludes on a 4x4 beat to ensure a smooth exit. 'Flip Trix' is certainly a future percy for all.

A1. Pugilist - Flip Trix (Out Now!!!)

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.

‘140 Drums’ is an essential DJ club tool, a chopped stuttering break and hoover bass roll through a restrained but surprisingly heavy hitting finale to the EP.


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.

Dagga x Manao - Pendiente [SPE:C 015 24] PREVIEW

Cead's eleventh offering delivers a full circle moment for ASOY, who first met label boss Or:la back in 2010. Fast forward fifteen years and the London via Cyprus moniker of SOS collective member Demi proudly presents his debut EP under ASOY.

"3 Boys In Trouble was inspired by an insane collection of live drum recordings from a bunch of street kids in Harlem growing up in the 50's. Coupled with various other percussion samples from other corners of my vinyl collection, it began to set the tone for the track which was to keep it tribal with a very primal feel for it that maintained a tension all the way through"

ASOY - 3 Boys In Trouble

Céad's eleventh offering delivers a full circle moment for ASOY, who first met label boss Or:la back in 2010 while she was attending his gig in her hometown in Derry. Fast forward 15 years and the London via Cyprus moniker of SOS collective member Demi proudly presents his debut EP under ASOY.

ASOY - Pleasure Puss

A jaunty. slightly off kilter tune, with a lot of percussive elements and a solid chunky beat. A bit of 303 occasionally joins the occasion. And the bassline bounces along with a variety of noodles and quirky vibes. It's a peculiar track for sure.
