NX 2021 Mixtape

Since 2013 we have published an annual mixtape of exciting new music by Goldsmiths students and alumni. The mixtape is a great way for burgeoning and unsigned artists to get their music ​out there. For the listener, it's a brilliant source of fresh, unreleased sounds.

Once again, we have been bowled over by the response to our mixtape callout this year. The 2022 collection is as long, ambitious, varied, deeply conceptual and downright catchy as ever. Thanks to all our participants, and feel free to click through and read more over at our website: https://www.nxrecords.co.uk/2022-mixtape

2024 mixtape N

2025 mixtape

https://nxrecords.bandcamp.com/album/nx12x

Soaring synth track from Goldsmiths student and modular wizard Sam Hostettler - lush vastness reminiscent of Vangelis shot through with the dubbed out percussion of Burial. 

Forthcoming on a ltd edition 12", with crunchy electro-acoustic techno from La Leif on the flipside, grab a copy Feb 1st.

Sam Hostettler - Opalescence

The second in our series of experimental electronic vinyl 12"s showcases the work of two boundary pushing Goldsmiths students: first, UK born and South Africa raised composer Galina Juritz, whose chopped and spliced RnB doused in lush string arrangements induces a fidgety unease and zero gravity lushness in equal measure. And second, rising DJ and producer Harry Rodger, with two cuts of organic, summery techno that would sound perfectly at home pumping out of the NTS Radio speakers into a sun-baked Gillett Square.

NX14X is out on July 26. All tracks : https://nxrecords.bandcamp.com/album/nx14x

Harry Rodger - Facetime

https://www.nxrecords.co.uk/cosy

Meet the newest member of the NX family, south London based songwriter and producer bb sway. On her debut "cosy" EP, bb sway blends homespun synth loops, offbeat percussion and cockle-warming storytelling via soaring vocals to create a slice of bedroom pop perfection. Deceptively addictive. Recommended if you like Men I Trust, Crumb, Toro Y Moi or The Marias.

NX Mixtape 2013

NX Records is a record label, radio station and interdisciplinary workspace housed in the Department of Music at Goldsmiths, University of London.

The label was founded as a collaboration between Goldsmiths and Matthew Herbert's ever-experimental Accidental Records. In May 2013, we launched with an introductory mixtape and live performances at the Southbank Centre.

The label has continued to grow, releasing critically acclaimed music by Goldsmiths students and graduates, whilst hosting numerous workshops, events, and running a pop up record shop in New Cross.

NX has been managed by London artist, DJ and writer Richard Greenan, since 2018. In 2024, Accidental stepped aside from their NX duties, and Richard's own record label and NTS Radio show, Kit Records, began running NX in collaboration with Goldsmiths. 

The label's mission statement is to create a new model for the music industry, connecting exciting talent from the renowned creative hub of Goldsmiths – and the wider community of South East London – with the forward-thinking and collaborative Kit Records.

Our aim is to build connections between emerging artists, education, the industry and audiences. NX is a professional label that works alongside, not in opposition with, DIY artists.
