Baltimore-born, Brooklyn-based, BIG J herself -- JIALING (@pbnstrawberryjam) joins forces with Sorry Records for a floorshaking 4-track exploration of everything from big room latin hard house to queer vocal slammers, and plenty of breaks and bass in between.

I met Jialing on New Years Eve Eve 2021 at Bossa here in Brooklyn. It was like 2am on a Thursday night, mid-way through "Breaks in America" - our first ever dedicated breaks night with our friend SWAP MEET! and Kindergarten Records/Sorry favorite Drummy b2b myself. I've got a distinct memory of Jialing introducing herself and saying "I came because you said breaks! I love breaks!" I remember being struck by her unpretentious enthusiasm (especially considering she was still based in Baltimore back then and was routinely making the trek to NYC for local club nights like ours).

Since that night, JIALING's been a wonderfully ever present figure on the NYC dancefloor and in our lives. Named one of “The Top 25 Producers Who Defined the Year 2024” by Mixmag, she's done incredible work via self-releases in addition to stellar recent releases on Local Action's Clasico Records (FREAKY HORNS, WHISTLE TIP with Farsight, and this WTCHCRFT + Sister Zo featuring remix record), Gallegos' Room Service imprint, and the new gen Baltimore club label WOE she runs alongside Kade Young. She’s remixed folks like Seimei (on Sorry!), Honey B, and nextdimensional — as well as played clubs like Nowadays, Marble Bar, Public Records, Good Room, Paragon, Dalston Superstore, Venue M.O.T., Mansions, and beyond.

J literally lives two blocks down the street from me and I'm so happy to finally do a proper Sorry Records release with her here. WUPS! is the sound of JIALING at her most immediate, playing with some major source material from the last forty odd years of dance music history; touching on sounds from the Paradise Garage to the Loft (“Don’t Go Lose It Baby”) Frankie Knuckles at The Warehouse (“Let No Man Put Asunder”), and Junior Vasquez’s Arena at the Palladium (“Cunty”).

Another certified Sorry Records Big Room Trojan Horse release, WUPS! finds JIALING at the height of her power and has already been tearing up dancefloors like The Carry Nation & WRECKED’s massive Get Wrecked & Carry Pride party this June.

WUPS! also features original artwork by our friend SWAP MEET! and masters by Danny Goliger (3024, Magic City, Scuffed Recordings).

CAYOOTEE - If You Want It

Ron Mercy's nod to Egyptian Lover comes as a collage of sound, designed to upend dancefloors across the globe.

Premiere: Ron Mercy - Needa Freak

Drawing inspiration from rhythm-driven styles such as UK Funky, Gqom, and Dancehall, WRACK transforms these influences into something unmistakably his own. Through percussive beatwork and melodic, atmospheric synth layers, he elevates the sound far beyond imitation, achieving a unique musical identity that feels both global and deeply personal.

The title track “Nika” embodies this approach, filled with diverse sonic elements rooted in global club culture, it defies easy categorization. Yet underneath the surface lies WRACK’s signature sense of rhythm and sound design, infused with a distinct temperature and tension that only his music carries. Tribal yet minimal, it stands as a masterfully refined and immersive work.

The EP also features two remarkable remixes. From Toulouse, France, Kaval delivers a floor-ready killer tune that highlights the percussive drive of the original while adding his own fluid, dance-focused groove. Meanwhile, Tokyo-based producer NirBorna offers a deeper, more introspective, and emotionally charged rework, expanding the EP’s sonic depth and scope even further.
