Nehza Records Releases

Brighton-based producer @Tamlinspeaks brings his Bitter Fruit EP to Scuffed Recordings, showing his broad approach to production across four varied tracks.

Although the EP is Tamlin’s debut on Scuffed under this alias, he has previously appeared as part of the duo Heritage, whose releases have included some of the most defining tracks on the label. In comparison to the high-energy breaks and bass-led production of Heritage, the Tamlin alias shows a more introspective sound - spanning melodic electronics, broken techno, hybrid dancehall, and soaring breakbeats.

Opener ‘Bitter Fruit’ - focussed around a hypnotic marimba melody - was debuted by label owners Wager and Ian DPM on Rinse FM back in 2020 and has been the subject of countless track ID requests since.

Next up is ‘Diazemax’, which comes across like a sequel to some of Heritage’s earlier work such as ‘What U Wearing’ - all at once heavy, percussive, and floatingly melodic, while third track ‘Flutter in Blue’ slows the tempo to 100bpm for a weighty, dancehall-influenced roller.

To close out the EP, Tamlin recruits fellow Brighton producer Parry on ‘Rush’, the most intricately-produced track of the release - with reflective pads swirling around winding percussion.

Can you see the air?
Can you taste the air?
Can you touch the air?

We're excited to release our fifth V/A, an 11-track V/A called TRANSAERE on 11th October, melding bass, breaks, techno, global sounds and lots more.

The V/A features music from worldwide talents including carin kelly, Dj Spit, Bluetoof, De Grandi, and DARK BUDA, amongst others. Each artist brings their unique perspective, contributing to a diverse and forward-thinking collection of tracks.

The concept of TRANSAERE is deeply rooted in the theme of Air, delving into the unseen yet powerful qualities of this essential natural element. The project invites listeners to explore the hidden virtues of Air, emphasizing its profound impact despite its invisibility.
Through this thematic exploration, TRANSAERE aims to capture the essence of Air's subtle yet undeniable force, offering an immersive listening experience that transcends genres and borders.

"Butterflies can fly at 3000 meters above sea level and use air currents to travel long distances. But on a less cute note, we've also reached a point where there is so much plastic in that air that we actually inhale nano plastics every day, which sticks in our lungs from our clothes."

Tracklist: 

carin kelly - Eddies
Dj Spit - Heavy Breathing view
Bluetoof - Dashit.
HEDDA & Jcow - AIAIAI 
Dual Monitor - Pull It Up (Dual Monitor's Exosphere Dub) 
DARK BUDA - Onira 
De Grandi - Hevea 
LU2K - Ez Tool 2 
Yas Reven - Puff Of Fun 
Cardozo - Suada 
K-OH - Filhos do Maligno

Kicking off our new white label series is Brighton-via-Bristol producer @Syzuk. Drawing on a diverse range of touchpoints from across the spectrum of UK club music, this trio of dancefloor destroyers encompass precision-engineered soundsystem techno, mutant 2-step and West Country bass.

Wrapping things up, Pressure Dome founder @Yushh returns to Control Freak with her own flip of title track Bunzunkunzun, bringing down the BPM for a menacing rework that’s punctuated by her signature wonky rhythms.

Strictly limited vinyl release for these essential DJ weapons - get them while they’re hot!

From Ere Til Eternity [RENT003]

Record label for ravers, curated by @roni_nza

https://nehzarecords.bandcamp.com
Demos: nehzarecords@gmail.com

Relentless raver and Rinse France resident RONI launched her first imprint Nehza Records in 2021.

Naming the label after the animated film ‘Nezha Conquers The Dragon King’ by Wang Shuchen published in 1979, the mythical tale resonates with RONI on both personal and artistic levels. 

With an attitude that questions social constructs and inflated authority, RONI’s vision for Nehza Records poses questions about our natural environment through the medium of sound. 

Combining elements of sound with the fantastical flourishes of Suchen’s film, Nehza Records is about raising awareness of our connexion to nature and how we need to protect the Earth.
