*PREMIERE* FAFF - The Last Piglette

A1 Circles
A2 Unwind
B1 With you / Without you
B2 My Flow

The first EP on Note Variation was prepared by a debut producer, but by no means a newcomer to the broken beats, Subtraxive from Moscow. 
He brings you closer to the savor of orthodox mid-tempo breakbeat in the British style, inspired by the subtractive synthesis of the eternal classics of Roland, such as SH-101, TB-303, TR-808, TR-909.

Alexander (the real name of Subtraxive) was inspired by the latests music species of the early 00s. Each track is a proven ascetic antidote to the hybrid jumble of genres, but at the same time organically combines with many types of garage and house music for your pleasure of killing it on the dancefloor.

"Circles" steals the show with the mid-tempo sandstorm drums and mantra-spiral bassline.
The second track on the release “Unwind”, immediately teleporting you to the end of a night. Subwoofer health test tool. 
"With You / Without You" opens proceedings with a spiral of haunted acid bass and technoid hihat leaping in energy throughout.
"My Flow" is a subtle composition of euphoric synths and well-crafted sub-bass. These nostalgic early morning breaks scattered cut stylishly close off the EP.

Over the past couple years, Native Boundaries has established itself as a respected curator of parties that push the boundaries of music and fun In the Los Angeles underground. For our first EP, we a honored to be working with a mix of local LA up and coming talent with some internationally respect artists as well. This release embodies the spirit of breaks pushing the limits of the genre with two originals from Etari diving into an elusive, yet methodical territory with beautifully processed vocal samples and tribal influences. Other LA local, User Delusion has created a more aggressive yet beautiful, edit to “With You” accompanied with a soulful R&B vocal. Stones Tarot has also remixed “With You” with his signature breaky garage sound as his own rendition also including a more agro bass-line and yet soothing vibe. Finally Berlin Legend Iron Curtis has remixed “Midnight Mood” with a very emotionally moving melodic feeling along with an acidic texture and minimal beat.

Tunlaw Rd in DC was named after Tunlaw Farm which was located in what is now Glover Park. According to local legend during the Civil War many walnut trees were cut in that area to make gunstocks. To make the name more exotic Walnut was reversed into Tunlaw.

When France-born DJ and producer, Willis Anne isn’t finessing his spellbinding live sets and performing them in his home country of Germany, he’s curating club nights and releases for his own brand, LAN. A true hardware junky, from his productions you can expect complex polyrhythms, leftfield sound design and textural complexity. Whilst these off-kilter elements can all be found in Movement EP, it also features some more easily recognisable rhythms borrowed from styles like juke and breaks. Imagine a musical lovechild between Azu Tiwaline and Kush Jones. What more could you want?

Movement EP drops 9th September via Shall Not Fade.

Label: Banoffee Pies Records
Artist: La Dame
Title: Zumbidos
Catalogue Number: BPMISC03
Genre: Dubstep / Dub / Broken Beat
Release: November 2022

1. Suaves Rumores Ft. Mr Jo
2. Conscious Ft. Goldie B
3. Non Ducor, Duco
4. Dazzled Ft. Florian Pellissier

Banoffee Pies Records welcomes La Dame on the label with her 4 track EP entitled "Zumbidos", lightly translated as "Buzzing" in Portuguese. The collection brings together a multi instrumentalist approach to a spectrum of percussion heavy, bass driven dubstep influences from the Belgium based French artist.

A musical journey neatly curated with three featuring artists, all seemingly cohesive, despite the wide net of sonics, with aim to illustrate and reflect the different sounds inhabiting the city of São Paulo. The lead track, "Suaves Rumores" aka "Sweet Rumours" invites Mr. Jo, a well known Brussels musician in the bass' underground scene with a harmonica insert, reminiscent of the early 2000 FWD dubstep sounds of the UK.

Goldie B, the French singer, MC, and producer based in Marseille, then enters with "Conscious", a catchy percussion of vibrant spoken word. "Non Ducor, Duco", meaning "I'm not driven, I'm driving", the motto of São Paulo, further introduces the next phase of La Dame's musical explorations. The last track, produced in collaboration with Florian Pellissier, a great French pianist, currently working with Iggy Pop and part of Cotonete, Camarao Jazz Orchestra and Os Foda, finally culminates with a flurry of keys in a broken beat jazz hybrid with "Dazzled".

● Anna Karina, Ukrainian music producer based in Berlin,
has released her first EP!

This EP showcases synthesizers and VCV Rack. The sound explores the sensations of wind and the vast, heavy landscape of the mind.
Rather than imitating the physical world, it channels perception — translating emotional states into abstract sonic forms.
Noise and glitch elements represent the raw, untamed aspects of the ocean, not as it sounds, but as it feels.

Through generative techniques, where algorithms influence structure and detail, the composition mimics the unpredictable nature of waves, thoughts, and shifting inner currents. The result is not a direct simulation, but an evolving soundscape that captures the movement and instability of an internal ocean.

This ocean is metaphorical — an ocean of emotion, memory, and perception. It has little in common with literal wave sounds but resonates as a deep, sensory reflection of a mental state.

The goal is not realism, but transformation: to turn the intangible into an auditory environment. This process creates a unique listening space where meaning is felt, not explained.
The result is a deeply personal landscape, shaped by resonance, dissonance, and silence, where the listener is free to drift, dissolve, or reassemble within the sound.

I want you to remember abstract soundscapes that evoke memory, mind, emotion, and altered states.
