Gimme A Break Records presents Donsurf’s ‘BREAKWAVE EP’ featuring three expertly crafted productions. Donsurf took the scene by storm through his widely received debut release on ec2a in collaboration with Bakey. Following this, Donsurf has continued to deliver experimental breakbeat and UK garage compositions as seen through single releases on Gimme A Break and Kultura Collective. 

In his ‘BREAKWAVE EP’ Donsurf divulges the breadth of his musical influences some of which include dubstep, breakbeat and jungle. The deliberately smooth transitions between tracks makes for a seamless journey through UK bass culture, grounded fundamentally through Donsurf’s intricate manipulation and sculpting of classic breaks with a personal twist.

Maya Q releases her debut EP for Scuffed Recordings, weaving together her own unique take on influences from across the UK dance music spectrum. The New England-born, London-based DJ and producer has been building momentum throughout 2021, both with her productions and as a resident of the Co-Select collective. 

The ‘Spiral’ EP follows Maya’s appearance on the Scuffed Presents 005 compilation in early 2021 with her track ‘Belief’, which saw support from Jaguar and Jess Iszatt on BBC Introducing, among others. 

Since then, Maya released her ‘I Just Wanna’ EP through DJ Pitch and Simkin’s All Centre label, which further established her esoteric production style and her place as an artist to watch in the UK’s electronic music scene. 

Closing out the release is ‘Drumpack’, with Maya’s eerie melodic pads and veering synth line dancing over a skippy garage-inspired beat, before introducing a grinding bassline in the second half of the track.

Not Bad For A Girl presents NBFG001, Big Bally Beats 001. A nine track compilation made up of tracks solely by Manchester-based female and non-binary artists. An eclectic collection of genres and moods, from dancefloor-ready bass music, to lush breaks, to punchy, syncopated gqom, vibrant house and more.

Not Bad for a Girl are proud to be supporting Brighter Sound, a creative music charity, with this release. Rooted in the North of England, they change the lives of individuals through music, support and promote diverse talent and act as a catalyst for change in the music sector, from education to industry. All profits from this compilation will be going to Brighter Sound.

DaiSu's contribution to NBFG001 is a stunning production which utilises foley, the reproduction and manipulation of everyday sounds, to form a deeply transcendent atmosphere rooted in a styling which walks the line between dub traditions and contemporary uk bass.
