Destiny

Respect the fact

TEKLIFE014  DJ DEEON - Destiny EP - 03 Respect The Fact

Brooklyn-based DJ and producer Ayesha (@aye5ha) lines up a four-track EP with Scuffed Recordings, channelling percussive techno, breaks, and bass.

The Potential Energy EP bears all the hallmarks of the sonic universe that Ayesha has made her own on previous releases for the likes of Fever AM, Kindergarten Records, Control Freak, and Daytimers.

Aptly-named opener ‘Potential Energy’ is a rallying cry for the current moment in dance music, as clubs in parts of the world begin to open and ravers release the pent-up energy of the past eighteen months.

‘Ecstatic Descent’ is up next and lives up to its title with euphoric arpeggios sprinkled liberally over heavy, syncopated breaks.

Third track ‘We Be Bubblin’ encapsulates Ayesha’s approach to sound design and sample selection, with playful bubbling sounds and vocodered vocals dancing over driving percussion.

Ending the EP is ‘Dark Matter’, the fastest and heaviest track of the bunch, which saw its first outing during Yung Singh’s already-legendary Boiler Room set as part of the Daytimers takeover.

Nashville-based producer @jasoncode makes his Scuffed Recordings debut with a three-track EP of high-octane, freewheeling bass and club music. 

Originally hailing from Seattle, Jason has become a fixture in the Tennessee dance community in the past ten years as part of the Terminal 8 crew, booking acts like Nikki Nair, ELISE, Kush Jones, and Leonce among others. 

Following a string of self-released projects in 2020, Jason brings his unique style to Scuffed, incorporating elements of breaks, bass, UK garage, and more.  

Opening with the title track, ‘HOT!’ sees Jason contrast bouncing chords and gleeful vocal samples with a lurching bass drop and clattering breaks. 

‘City 17’ ups the tempo with wonky arpeggios veering over a fierce kick drum, and eventually developing into a shuffling, speed garage-esque beat.

‘Decisions’ closes out the release, jumping between eerie vocals, pounding kicks and skittish breaks to further build on Jason’s signature sound. 

The HOT! EP will be out on all digital platforms on 12th November, with a streaming single arriving on 29th October.

A very long year after the Six Rooms EP, Nico returns on his imprint Akita Club with Everyone Sees But Only A Few Know. A new exercise in density and space.

Drums that twist, dart, and lurch forward or sideways, but never backwards. Percussion that behaves like a once-living organism, its reanimated fossil unearthed from the future.

How articulate can you make the machine?

PREMIERE: Nico - Plana [Akita Club]

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 are honored to be working with a mix of local LA up and coming talent with some internationally respected 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. Another LA local, User Delusion has created a more aggressive yet beautiful edit to “With You” accompanied with a soulful R&B vocal. Stones Taro 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.

Announcing their debut for R$N Records sub-label, Insult To Injury, Manchester based newcomer, Lapalace, has furnished us with an ambitious, divergent dance destroyer that touches on Ambient, Jungle & everything in between! We're thoroughly excited to have Thugwidow on remix duties too as we’ve been fans of his music for ages. He doesn’t disappoint, as he ‘breaks’ Ephemera into tiny pieces & rebuilds it in his own image. Make no mistake, this is a dance floor demolisher of the highest pedigree!
