MY TRAX

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.

Maya Q - Drumpack

The glass building soared high into the sky, its floor to ceiling windows reflecting the sun as dusk set in. He surveyed the city below him; from up here the people looked like tiny ants, much like the team of workers he now forced to do his bidding. It hadn't been easy for him to get to this level of superiority, he'd had to step on a lot of people to make it to the top; something only certain people could do without guilt or shame trailing them. The only trajectory he had set his mind on was upwards.

There's been a lot of good stuff coming out of the Programm camp: the London-based label dealing in "system frequencies to make you dance." Since launching with a VA of their nearest and dearest, they've set the tone for their explorations into breaks, dubstep and bass, following this up with their first proper EP: a four-tracker from D3U5E & Gav, that paid homage to conspiracy theories, obsession and corporate illusion. Now D3U5E returns solo to take care of the label's third release, delivering two tracks that showcase his own spin on shuffling bass-driven electronics.

PREMIERE: D3U5E - UPWARD [Programm]

Waterfalls EP begins its journey with the eerie 2-step, warped sub frequencies of 'Bowen'. 'Trident Creek' then takes us into skittering broken beat territories, with Azure's signature percussive layers dancing throughout. 'The Chasm' dives deep into a break-beat driven frenzy accompanied by out of atmosphere bleeps and sirens. Closing the EP is a collaboration with producer Flandiz (Flesh Pig Recording), which blends acid lines with a silky garage beat and monstrous sub hits to deliver a groove for the dancefloor.

Each of the tracks are named after Waterfalls in Aotearoa. They came to fruition after travelling the South Island and seeing the wonder that waterfalls offer.

Fly By Night welcomes INGI to the label for FBN009 with a combination of breaks, bass, techno and jungle. INGI reflects his diverse music taste in his debut release, exploring all corners of leftfield dance music. 

FBN009 kicks off with the bass-driven lead track ‘Neita’, setting the tone with thumping kicks and a thunderous low-end creating a tense and frenetic atmosphere. Neita is followed by the title track ‘Wrestle’, introducing more melodic elements from INGI’s repertoire, floating chopped up vocals interplaying with precisely programmed drums. INGI proceeds to speed things up for a warped, trippy take on jungle with ‘Góða Nótt’. Intensity is raised to the maximum level with echoing vocals, bubbling synths and hard-hitting chopped up breaks. The flip side features a hefty remix from Rhyvahl, who serves up a chugging bass-driven rework of Neita. The Off Beat boss’ reimagination features echoing warping synths and a thumping kick drum, with enough sub-bass to rattle any club’s system.

PREMIERE: INGI - Neita [Fly By Night]

Following up on the success of their inaugural release, Out of Sorts present the first of their new club-focused digital series, OOSX. MELD boss Mod-R sets the tone for the series with Jury: four tracks carefully selected with dark rooms and big sound systems in mind. The release spans a range of percussive, breaks-fuelled workouts that vary in tempo but are aligned by a distinctive UK feel that runs through the DNA of each track. From the classic samples used in Capacitive and Long Way from London that nod to the hazy days of warehouse raves; to the chopped-up breaks and weighty bass compositions of Jury and Mandate that make for a real heads down affair. 
Wrapping up the release is Maya Q on remix duties, who flips the title track with a refined, UK funky laced twist, chopping up the melody to provide a change of style and pace on the release. The five track release is due out 7th January 2022 and will be available on our bandcamp and through streaming and digital download platforms.

PREMIERE: Mod-R - Capacitive [Out Of Sorts]

We are excited to present the first in our new digital series, by Meld affiliated Mod-R. In true Out of Sorts style, Mod-R serves up four percussive, breaks-fuelled workouts for the clubs. Maya Q rounds off with a refined, UK-funky laced twist on the title track.

PREMIERE : Mod - R - Jury

@leshlingi debuts on Scuffed Recordings with three tracks spanning anthemic breaks, wonky UK techno and percussive club music.

Born in Iceland and now based in London, INGI has begun to make a name for himself in the UK’s club scene with his brand of broken UK club music, pulling on influences from across the electronic music spectrum.

His ‘Wrestle’ EP on Fly By Night Recordings was released at the end of 2021 and saw support from the likes of Madam X, Danielle, Anastasia Kristensen, and Frazer Ray.

Starting off proceedings on the EP is the electrifying title track ‘Fade’, anchored around glitched-out vocals and powerful breaks.

Up next is ‘Kurt’, an altogether more leftfield club track with swung percussion, robotic bass stabs, and metallic synth work.

Closing out the release is ‘Point’, whose staccato vocal stabs and rolling percussion pay homage to some of the best of UK techno and bass music.

[IOM PREMIERE] mod-r & Obatalla - No Hands

Off the back of a stunning multi-genre release on Bristol-based label Out of Sorts, mod-r continues his foray into new musical styles in 2022. With an impressive backlog of releases on Out of Sorts, childsplay, Shubzin, CAROUSE, Belek Records, Jerry Horny, Hyperdome Records, Hang Tough, Angels Gun Club and his own imprint Meld Records, mod-r has developed outstanding technical abilities allowing him to produce tracks spanning electro, breaks, jungle and percussive styles. His EP on Gimme A Break Records broadens the Aberdeen-based producer’s repertoire further by exploring the recently revived UK Garage/Breaks crossover with Obatalla.
“Lord (Rave Mix)” offers a warehouse-ready anthem brimming with expertly chopped breakbeats. The track’s euphoric vocal lines and hardcore-inspired keys offer brief respite from the EP’s otherwise murky sound palette.

*PREMIERE* mod-r - Lord (Rave Mix)

Reminiscences from the old skool calling to your mind, with the RAVE FACTORY V.A., Dance-orientated encounters between broken beats and 4 on the floor, giving an edgier look on Rave, Breakbeat House, Jungle Techno, and OldSchool Hardcore as some of the first genres to narrow the gap between different ethnic backgrounds from around the world like Hip Hop,Rock,Dub, R&B, Punk House, and Techno to merge them into something new.

Rusty syncopated drum samples, chest-hitting leads, woofers smashing sub-bass patterns, a constant wave between 2-step and 4x4 Kick drum Patterns, and vocal motifs from back in the day.

A tribute to the endless summer of love coming from Bogotá, Glasgow, Mendoza, Moscow, Tbilisi, L.A., Galway, Brighton, Berlín, Buenos Aires, Lyon, Bradford, Sao Paulo, Auckland, London, Olavarria,& París.

4 continents, 13 countries, 17 cites, 1 beat, 1 love.
