Great mix, going to have to listen again :) Dan

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.

THESE ARE PREVIEWS TO STICKY .007 : 'hey, do you need someone to talk to?' mini-compilation. If you like what you hear, the digi's will be available on October 22nd 2021 here - https://stickytapesmix.bandcamp.com/album/sticky-007-hey-do-you-need-someone-to-talk-to-mini-compilation

Fresh off the release of their first birthday compilation release this Summer which included contributions from Jossy Mitsu, Stones Taro, ELLES, Black Cadmium and more, Sticky tapes are back with a mini-compilation entitled ‘hey, do you need someone to talk to?’ 

This digital-only release features tracks from Tim Reaper, Ell Murphy & Picasso, PRAYER, IN2STELLAR, Theo Everyday and a debut outing from Kitsta. 

Sticky Tapes launched their first tape back in July 2020 with Violet and ELLES and since then have released tapes with the likes Interplanetary Criminal, CC:Disco, Asquith, Om Unit and many more. To date, they’ve raised over £2000 for six different charities, all chosen by the artists on the tapes.

As always with Sticky Tapes projects, all proceeds will be being donated to charity. This release aims to raise awareness of three mental health helplines (The Samaritans, SANEline and Switchboard), all doing amazing work for those who need someone to talk to when they are at their worst. 

To further awareness of the helplines, Sticky Tapes will be posting 500 posters all over London that feature rip tickets with the numbers of the helplines.

The compilation delivers a broad sound palette, from spaced-out trance to IN2STELLAR to ethereal breaks from PRAYER.

Where they do that at.m4a

there was a time in the late 90's and early 00's where Hard Trance and Hard House were walking side and hand in hand at raves in London. It resulted obviously in a mash up of both genres. 
High energy uplifting tunes were produce bridging the gap between genre, it was a short but magical time.
Prime mover Black Dogs first released on Fevah trance would be the most iconic and played track
With track I've tried to recreate this moment in time, an high octane and having it track.
Did i manage it?
tell me what you think:)
