Very nice. I notice your t-shirt. Did you use something like ReNoise to create this track?

Since 2014 Stones Taro has been delivering his own take on the UK sound, heavily influenced by rave, jungle, garage and breakbeat. Now the Kyoto, Japan based artist makes his Breaks 'N' Pieces debut with four intricately laced cuts on August 20th, continuing to break the mould and recontextualize his own sonic palette. 

‘Again’ opens proceedings with deep wobbling bass that finds its way from your ears and down to your toes, coupled with dub style chords and vibey vocal loops, to help keep the steppers moving to the early hours. ‘Come Over Me’ picks up where ‘Again’ left off with glossy lipped vocals and oscillating snare drums, resulting in a track perfect for warming up the dance floor. 

Glistening synths sparkle just above choppy breaks and spacious bass in ‘Yakusugi’ - as it’s ethereal sensibility adds a different dynamic altogether to Stones Taro’s ever evolving sonic armour. Every sound in closing track ‘Rare’ is carefully placed and nuanced; as one tone reflects off the next in auditory delight - suited for those late-night dwellers.

Scuffed Recordings close 2021 with their annual Scuffed Presents compilation, presenting four new artists to look ahead to in 2022.

The second track on the release comes from London-based newcomer @gesturesound – whose first ever track ‘Skynet’ is a barrage of lurching bass, glitched-out vocals, and erratic breaks.

PREMIERE : Dylan Dylan - 5AM Breakup (Qant Remix) [Egregore Collective]
Label: Egregore Collective
Artiste: Dylan Dylan
Track name: 5AM Breakup (Qant Remix)

Premiere date: 18/04/2022
Release date: 22/04/2022

Infos:
We are back ! To kick off 2022, our first release comes courtesy of Montpellier’s rising talent Dylan Dylan.

She recently made waves with her house music LP titled ‘Euphoria’, released on famous outlet Shall Not Fade, and also participated to well-curated compilations, such as Court Circuit vol.1 on Plaisance Records, and we’re more than delighted to have her on board.

Her ‘Control EP’ explores the boundaries between house and bass music, with a dash of UK garage. A tasty blend of breakbeats, syncopated drums, lo-fi pads and r’n’b vocals which are her signature sounds. 

The release is rounded off with a jungle remix by our own label manager Qant.

PREMIERE : Dylan Dylan - 5AM Breakup (Qant Remix) [Egregore Collective]

Casting a self-reflexive lens over his roots via the medium of crushing, future-rushing soundsystem sonics, Low End Activist returns to Sneaker Social Club with a full-length of monumental proportions.

When the Low End Activism 12” ignited on Sneaker in 2019, it paid tribute to the Blackbird Leys estate in Oxford, UK, where LEA originates from. In the shadow of social inequality and strengthened by the unity of the multi-ethnic community, Blackbird Leys still imposes a powerful influence on LEA’s work, even as he’s stepped out onto Seagrave for last year’s Game Theory album and notched up the first couple of releases on his own self-titled label.

On this new album, Hostile Utopia sums up the conflicting emotions attached to memories of home – how it’s possible to feel nostalgic for the griminess of urban and suburban Britain, its ordinary tales of bitterness and frustration, but also its intrinsic passion and solidarity. At a time when social division is actively engineered by Machiavellian forces, real conviviality at street level feels like an impossible dream.

LEA communicates these tensions through a style which is becoming his signature – dynamic bass torsion and chiseled, fractalised rhythms slugging around the 130 mark. It’s moody like a UK-themed record ought to be, but it’s not morose. There’s fierceness in every snap and rumble, as the legacies of hardcore, jungle, dubstep and grime pour into the casing prior to the gunpowder lighting.

On previous LEA releases, the MC roll call has pointed to some of the most vital voices touching the mic in the present day. Flowdan, Sikka Rymes and Trim all had something different to impart over the riddims, and now Hostile Utopia expands on that with the most extensive show of lyrical strength yet. Mez lights up the woozy, abstract grime swerve of ‘Mercenary’ in a musical style. Emz brings a ruthlessly sharp verbal steez to ‘GetGet’, Killa P gets busy toasting over ‘DFRNT STYLE’ and ‘Superhighway’ carries the dexterous hip-hop flow of Cadence Weapon.

In between those standout tracks, LEA expresses just as much in the production. Tracks brimming with stories to impart, laden with symbols masquerading as samples and draped in aural garb that firmly places Hostile Utopia in a place, a mood, that could only belong to the UK. It’s a hybrid sound just like the society it sprang from, and therein lies its power.

EGG TART EDITS Volume II

15th May 2022 - “Timeless Art, Touching The Heart”

The monthly hike with Virgil always concludes with a visit to 點心餅家 - Touch Of The Heart Bakery. A morning connecting with nature and reminiscing about Hong Kong always leads us to this legendary institution. Established in 1922, by a family of immigrants from Hong Kong. This place never fails to fascinate me on multiple fronts every single time I go. Whether it is the sizzling tray of egg tarts coming straight out of the oven, seeing the bakers zoned in, creating magic or its ability to transport me spiritually to Hong Kong. Something I don’t think I can comprehend myself.

So to celebrate 100 Years of Touch Of The Heart Bakery. We have curated this special project with some mega talented people. Hopefully this reflecting 4 Generations, dedication to the craft. The craft of literally touching hearts and creating smiles. Also was super to see Florence, a long time friend and next in line to take over at the bakery. Both being in the same year class at Chinese School decades ago, sharing a love for Marvin Gaye, Ryo Fukui and of course edits. She left me with some wonderful words by her late grandfather (Heard this from Jimmy Iovine too!) - “Give yourself time, to make something that will last forever. Egg Tart. A Timeless Art”

Yours, DiMarco.

Knoxville, Tennessee producer Nikki Nair is the latest signing to Barely Legal’s Pretty Weird Records. Having previously made outings on Scuffed Recordings and Gobstopper, where Nikki Nair experimented with the human voice on his ‘Morphism’ EP, his latest offering finds him playing with bass stabs and old movie samples. ‘Scuzzy’ is one of two tracks on a double single coming out on Pretty Weird this Friday, and on it Nikki Nair flexes his percussive muscles with rude flair, with early support coming from the likes of Four Tet and Ben UFO.

Premiere: Nikki Nair - 'Scuzzy'

Pugilist steps up on Trule with a four track EP of sound system club heaters across various styles and BPMs. From the broken UK garage of the title track, the crunching breaks of Untitled with ILK, the dubwise Junglism of Adversity with Tamen, and the techno dancehall variation of Portal. Something for all the dancers.
