Welcome to our latest side hustle, International Chromies : A series of compilations featuring tracks and edits produced by everyone in the International Chrome stable, raising money for charities close to our hearts.

Vol. 1 features sweatbox bangers from Amadeezy, Mutant Joe and Jensen Interceptor. Grab these now before we get a C&D!


The comp is set as Pay What You Want and all money will go to Sufra (www.sufra-nwlondon.org.uk/2020/03/11/sufra-launches-coronavirus-emergency-appeal/) who are currently fighting the good fight by making food bank parcels for those hit hard by coronavirus. Whilst the existence of food banks in a rich, developed country is an abhorrent aberration, we love that the wider community is coming together in this emergency and we want to help to make people's working lives more manageable. So please donate what you can afford.

Lots of Love,

International Chromies

International Chromies Vol.1

Amadeezy - So Good

Up next for our charity series 'International Chromies' we have a very dangerous 5 track EP from one of the sharpest electronic technicians in the kitchen 'Dagga' with his 'House Of Flying Daggers' EP.

Originally from Venezuela but now based in Bogotá, Dagga showcases his razor sharp ability to slice and dice a variety of flavours like Electro, Funk Carioca, Breaks & Techno with perfect precision on INTLCS002. Enlisting some help from the very talented DJ & Rapper 'DJ Fuckoff' who lays down some sweat drenched bars on 'Trick' the EP has all the serrated dance blades needed to cut through the most stubborn of dance floors.

With every Chromies release we like to ask our artist's which charity is closest to their heart and Dagga has chosen the Crisis in Yemen. So 100% of the profits from this release will be going to the International Rescue Committee (IRC) who are providing health, reproductive health nutrition, water and sanitation services to more than a quarter-million people. They also are delivering essential drugs and medical supplies to hospitals & training health staff on cholera treatment.

You can find more information about IRC here ( https://www.rescue.org/country/yemen ) & for those of you who are able to donate directly we please encourage you to do so.

Lots of Love,

International Chromies

As with previous Chromies releases, all money received will be going to a charity close to our hearts. This time around we will be donating to Kampania Przeciw Homofobii In Poland 🏳️‍🌈  KPH are a non-profit organisation helping our Polish LGBTQ+ brothers & sisters who are subject to some of the harshest discrimination in the world thanks to a openly homophobic government. According to KPH Every third LGBTQ+ person in Poland faces physical or psychological violence and young people do not feel safe in their schools or homes.

Governments in Poland started passing resolutions last year declaring themselves to be free of “LGBT ideology.” This toxic rhetoric has only served to deepen the external divisions between religious conservatives & the socially liberal poles. This is obviously unacceptable and needs to change immediately and that change is a possibility thanks to people like KPH. They use donations to organise social campaigns, educational materials, advocacy activities (including meetings with decision-makers and participation in the legislative process), to conduct media activities and court cases. These are long-term activities which need our support.

You can also donate directly to KPH here > https://wspieraj.kph.org.pl/  If you are in a position to do so, we thoroughly encourage that you do.

Stay safe, stay informed. 
Lots of Love,

"Looks like you're all on the nasty list as Santa Chomes has brought a surprise Christmas present: International Chromies Vol. 6!

For the last International Chrome release of this insane year we have an insane line-up of tracks and edits from some of our friends who happen to also be our favourite artists:

Jensen InterceptorFalse Persona
Luz1e
ShcuroSelfhood5ZYL & 666uba
We've been blown away by the response to this series, and together we've raised over €3,000 for great causes. 

This time around we're giving ultimate respect to the originators, with 100% of funds raised going to the Underground Music Academy in Detroit (https://ioby.org/project/underground-music-academy). 

It shouldn't need saying but without Motown, Undergound Resistance and so many more from the city of Detroit, music history would be immeasurably different, and so we can't think of a better way of paying back than by helping the next generation of Detroit's musicians. We can't wait to find out what comes out of the academy. 

Hopefully 2021 will see us all able to get together and enjoy music together but until then, take care, stay safe & happy holidays"

Welcome to the hyperdome...

Inside you'll find, among other terrifying tracks, this brain-melting IDM excursion from RAIDERS extended family member and all-round savage producer @Moodrich. Rounding out a 20 track dystopian odyssey of a VA from @HyperdomeUK, "Dirt Just Hurt" makes for a fitting finisher, with its disorientating switch-ups and side-swiping synth stabs. All of this rushes at you at hyper-speed, but in spite of the name does not hurt but rather massages your ears with its ethereal vocal and melody. On a dancefloor however, we can imagine this bad boy doing some damage 🧨 Imagining is unfortunately all we can do for now, but this tune and the rest of the compilation make that just a little bit easier 💭

HYPRECS 002: Welcome to the Hyperdome

PREMIERE: Moodrich - Dirt Just Hurt (Hyperdome Records)

https://scuffedrecs.bandcamp.com/album/scuffed-presents-005

Scuffed Recordings line up the fifth release in the Scuffed Presents compilation series, looking ahead to 2021 with four new artists to the label, and sounds ranging from broken bass, UK garage, rave-inspired breaks, and rolling techno.

The ‘Scuffed Presents’ VA compilations have become a yearly fixture in the Scuffed Recordings schedule - with previous Scuffed Presents alumni including such Scuffed mainstays as Nikki Nair, Dubrunner, and An Avrin - and Scuffed Presents 005 will bring four more exciting new artists into the Scuffed roster.

Opening the release is Austrian producer Awo Ojiji, a longstanding member of the Graz-based collective Disko404 who released his debut ‘Static Flow’ EP in 2020 on Eternal Ocean. His unique interpretation of broken, bass-led techno on ‘Woozy’ marks him out as an artist to watch in 2021.

Londoner Doctor Nick will be a name familiar to those with their ears to the ground of UK dance music in the last few years, with previous appearances on Super Kitchen, Strictly Flava, and Slime Recordings among others. On ‘Squelch’, Nick creates an addictive fusion of classic UKG skippiness with a springy 303 bassline.

Next up is Maya Q, a resident of London collective Co-Select, and an artist whose idiosyncratic approach to production is evident all over ‘Belief’; where she pairs weighty subs and driving breaks with twisted vocal samples and eerie pads.

Rounding off the compilation is Moscow-based Dawn Razor, whose impressive workrate has recently landed him appearances on labels like Holding Hands and R&S. ‘Dreamproof’ is a rolling techno slammer and the perfect way to close out the release.

Doctor Nick - Squelch [Scuffed]

Oh boy... Today we have something xxxtra xxxclusive for you: The first premiere from the new release of bass boss @Amadeezybeats! 💣💣💣

Xplosive is an in-your-face rolling electro beat with major throwback vibes, complete with vocoded vocals and orchestra stabs. Guaranteed to make you "wanna go bang" and do the robot in your living room 🤖 This pacey, bassy tune is part of the 'Eastside G Ride' EP which drops January 29th on @Jensen-Interceptor's exquisitely curated @InternationalChrome label. The release has a distinctive west-coast vibe, with both hyped up G-Funk and Electro Bass to be found across the four-tracker 🌴 The name, presumably, is a nod to this as the Bostonian beatmaster puts his Eastside spin on this funky G-Ride. So don't delay and pre-order this shiz cause "He got the sound for yo ass and it's easy to see that this D.J. be Amadeezy."

PREMIERE: Tim Reaper & Devnull - Give It 2 Me (Lobster Theremin)

For the seventh volume of International Chromies, we're turning to something close to our hearts.

The 26th of January is known in our home country as Australia Day, a national holiday where non-indigenous people celebrate the founding of the country and the arrival of The First Fleet. For many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and those sympathetic to their cause this day is known as Invasion Day, and is held as a day of mourning commemorating the beginning of the colonisation of lands and cultures that had existed there for over 50,000 years.

It goes without saying we are ashamed of this "Holiday" and stand in solidarity with our Indigenous sisters & brothers.
All the money from this compilation will be split between The Healing Foundation & Reconciliation Australia.
Both organizations are partnering with communities around Australia to address the inequality and prejudice the First Nations people face, and the on-going trauma caused by abhorrent actions such as the forced removal of children from their families. They work with these communities to create a place of safety, providing an environment for Stolen Generation survivors and their families to speak for themselves, tell their own stories and be in charge of their own healing.

If you are in a position to donate directly or share any information about either organisation we thoroughly encourage that you do & we want to send a huge thank you to Mall Grab, Mathis Ruffing, Kuldaboli, Prequel Tapes & CYRK for donating their work for this fundraiser along with everyone who has been supporting International Chromies since we started.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians throughout Australia; recognise their continued connection to land, waters, and culture; and pay our respects to Elders past, present, and future.

Change the date.
Change the flag.
Australian Shame.
Stolen Land.
Black Lives Matter.

Mall Grab - Back 2 Back

Asquith is back for 2021 with a heavy selection of jungle, techno and hardcore tracks that dive deep into the sub-heavy rave continuum.

Following up a smattering of releases in pandemic year 2020 including Love Is A Mystery, Rave Til Dawn and Temple Runner, plus the scorching Acid Monkfish as Reehl and the deep diving You Know How Much You Mean To Me as Vanisher. Time Warp sets the tone for a year of renewal and further growth, channeling the influence of some of his Lobster contemporaries and an expansion into further sound development.

The EP opens with the title track 'Time Warp'. Weighty rhythmic low end  collides with glowing pads, vocal calls and MIT bleep synths in a techno-bass-bleep cross-genre melting pot. 'Back To Dannys (Ripped CD Mix)' evokes a past time of post-rave drives back to ya mates'. Semi-detached afterparty shenanigans, the original spirit of rave, baggy pullovers and keeping the party alive.

The flip side opens with 'Enter The Core', a classic Asquith booming warehouse techno number with glacial synths and stocky, plastic break chops. The EP closes out with 'Clapton Rider (Original Mix)'. A retro-leaning jungle number dusted off from the drafts and given a lease of life as the B2. A warm, breaks-heavy number for the close.
