Scuffed Recordings

There was a chill in the air, the kind that preceded a sinister or unfortunate event. Now darkness arrived much earlier, the streets emptied leaving only the nightcrawlers to roam at their leisure. Under the veil of night, societal rules went out of the window. There was no longer any law enforcement patrolling these parts, they'd given up on that a long time ago, there was only so much that could be done to keep these creatures at bay.

Following releases from Lårry and Aroent, Berlin-based imprint Awkwardly Social are gearing up for their first ever VA, bringing together some of their favourite artists and label mates. A release that's given the label 'plenty to be excited about', the four tracks feature music from previous affiliate Lårry, Pugilist, J.Wiltshire and Yushh, all of whom bring different flavours with their originals: from ambient to glitch, electro and leftfield.

@nehzarecords tee up their fourth release, a debut from the amazingly talented Egyptian producer @hassan-abou-alam. For anyone not yet familiar, ‘Ice’ should provide a fine introduction to the artist’s unique sinewy and bass-heavy sound.

The first release on the newly established @Greyhound-days imprint comes from Christian Kroupa alias Alleged Witches, hailing from Slovenia, who proved his skills and innovation as a participant at the Red Bull Music Academy in 2014.

Since then he became one of the most prominent names of Slovenia's techno and house scene, with making appearance on the mighty Fabric mix compilation, producing a remix of Alex Smoke for legendary Belgian label R&S, while also releasing a 12” entitled Serve The Spirits on R&S sub-label Meda Fury.

»One Skilled In The Black Arts« EP consists of four tracks, meant for dictating the dance floor with their drum workout, as well as luring you into its deep ritualistic feel, with distant native tongues echo.

For an extra wonderful hypnotic polyrhytms, a rework has been provided by @marcopassarani, one of the Italian leading dance music producers and DJs, who continues to be an inspiration and providing his knowledge and skills to younger generations. While Bristol based Jacob Martin alias @HodgeBristol demonstrated his expertise in percussion, resulting in an slamming rework, not meant for the faint-hearted. Just shows, why Hodge is one of Bristol's most exciting new names.

Anonymous producer Kilig (@kiligsounds) debuts on Scuffed Recordings with the ‘Dream Logic’ EP, fusing together elements of UK-influenced techno, minimal, ambient and industrial.

The ‘Dream Logic’ EP is the latest in a string of releases from London’s Kilig, who has turned heads of late with DJ support from the likes of Ben UFO, Call Super, Saoirse, and Midland, and radio plays on BBC Radio 1, 6 Music, and the Introducing Hot List.

From the intricate sound design and melodic flourishes of the title track, to the percussive depth charge of ‘Ape’, to the imaginative vocal cuts and minimal throb of closer ‘I’m Trying’, the release is a journey through Kilig’s eclectic production style, honed as a resident of London’s Night Tales and Bristol’s HOMEBREW parties.

Dream Logic EP

Kilig - Ape

From the rooftop you could see the entire city stretching far into the distance; plumes of smoke billowed from chimneys and reflective skyscrapers towered high above the clouds. It was easy to forget the stresses that came with living here; the fast pace of life, the expensive price tags and the long, late nights. High up, presiding above it all, there was only peace and tranquility.

Following releases on Soundtracking The Void and Origins Sounds, Night Tales and HOMEBREW resident Kilig makes his debut on Ian DPM and High Class Filter’s Scuffed Recordings with Dream Logic. Made up of three tracks, the EP blurs the lines between UK techno, ambient, minimal and industrial, showcasing Kilig's knack for meticulous sound design.

PREMIERE: Kilig - Dream Logic [Scuffed Recordings]

Nikki Nair (@nikki-nair) rounds off 2020 with a return to Scuffed Recordings for the ‘Trying To’ EP, featuring three new originals and a remix from Hermeth (@hermeth).

Opening the EP with ‘Justtryingto’, Nikki comes straight out of the blocks with a French Touch-esque disco sample giving way to glitchy breaks and weighty bass. Next up is the supercharged ‘Trunk’, an all-out warper clocking in at 150bpm.

On the B-side is ‘cclluubb’, a broken-beat DJ tool which sees Nikki’s trademark vocal sampling carrying along a Baltimore Club-influenced beat. Closing out the EP is Swiss producer Hermeth, who brings a rowdy injection of acid to his remix of ‘Justtryingto’.

Fiesta Soundsystem makes his Scuffed Recordings debut with the ‘How’s That?’ EP, featuring four new tracks exploring the spectrum of UK dance music.

The ‘How’s That?’ EP showcases Fiesta Soundsystem’s hardcore and rave influences, bolted together with UK club and bass rhythms; from the acid-tinged roller ‘Foundation’, and the warping title track, which echoes the moment when UKG transformed into dubstep; to the pummelling Amens of ‘Phlso’, and the sparse breaks of ‘Pych 130’.
