Dear Earthlings, 

We gather that dark times lay ahead of us, the unpredictable trajectory of this outbreak is out of our hands as we enter a period of real uncertainty. For our music industry we hold so dear, our musicians, clubs and festivals, the agents, promoters and dancers, and all others involved in making our industry what it is today, this has far-reaching implications for all of us. 

Viral Syndicate is a digital compilation series formed by ourselves to help support artists financially during the Coronavirus outbreak. All proceeds will directly fund artists involved with the release, or towards a charity of their choice if the artist prefers. We hope to deliver these compilations on a regular basis to help fund artists as much as possible. This is our way of helping our scene stay afloat during this difficult time. 

We hope our project and the music we’ll be sharing through this series will shed some light over this darkness. 


Stay strong, stay safe, and support our artists if you can. 


With love, Haŵs x

'Banoffee Pies Records drop their 12th release in the original series with a solo EP from New York-based Tristan Arp. With a string of intricate music on the likes of Human Pitch and a recent LP entitled “Suggested Forms”, which offers a wider exploration into his work, Tristan’s passion for sound design echoes in this record.

All four tracks offer an environment somewhere between a feeling and a dance floor with obscure influences in polyrhythmic drum patterns and a clear combination of digital and analogue processing. “Swept Thru” opens proceedings with a spiral of rhythms and heavy percussion leaping in energy throughout.

------------
After two tasty records released on Renascence, Realitycheck is back with a four-sided third opus. If the precision of technoïd drumtracks and fierce skills for dreamy pads still infuse in this new EP, there is a straight turn towards british spheres happening here. Ravy breakbeats on « xternal », bass-music percussive grooves on « Big Sur » or skinned garage architecture on « Dem », it's a travel through the many faces of this legacy. Landing in space with « Heavy Mantra », a wise futuristic dub bomb for alien minds, this new record delivered by our beloved Realitycheck sets up even further his hability to craft weapons of choice.

rough ideas fleshed out during lockdown. 1 of ???.

Following appearances on Super Kitchen and Trax Couture, London-based producer Drum Thing (@drumthing)  makes his Scuffed debut with three tracks spanning percussive club tools and ethereal electronics.

Drum Thing - Work

Scuffed Recordings line up their second vinyl sampler, featuring four heavy-hitting club tracks spanning the last year of the label’s output. The release sees tracks from Dubrunner, Heritage, Stones Taro, and Joe Craven pressed to vinyl for the first time, in a limited run of white labels.

Kicking off the release is Dubrunner’s ‘Zoya’s Trip’, originally released in December 2019 on the Scuffed Presents 003 release. Zoya’s Trip has become one of the most popular tracks in the Scuffed catalogue, spending six months in Beatport’s Leftfield House & Techno top 10, and seeing DJ support from the likes of Anja Schneider, Moxie, and Oneman.

Up next is ‘The Revelation’ from Brighton-based duo Heritage, taken from their EP of the same name. With its bass-heavy, breaks-driven beat, The Revelation picked up plays on BBC Radio 1, 1Xtra, Boiler Room, and saw coverage in Mixmag and DJ Mag.

On the B-side Scuffed veteran Stones Taro steps up with the weighty ‘To Rave’. As one of the most long-standing members of the label’s roster, Kyoto-based Stones Taro has become a firm fan favourite with his idiosyncratic take on UK rave music.

Closing out the release is Joe Craven’s ‘Staring At Your Feet Or Mine’, a percussive UK techno stepper originally taken from the Bristol-based producer’s debut release.
