January 2023 sees the launch of 'Steppers Globe’, a 4-week period of releases to showcase overseas UK Garage artists and display their talent on the main stage. The project consists of 4 EPs (to be released one per week in January), each of which are crossover releases with overseas labels pushing the UK-Garage sound. 

SPRAYBOX (Japan) was founded by Tokyo based producers Genick,
Jacotanu, Nizikawa, and Oblongar in November 2021. Their sole purpose
was to support Japanese dance producers, whose music draws a direct
influence from UK Bass sub genres.

 In this link-up, Steppers Club founding member Sam Deeley joins
 forces with That Fancy I, another very special Japanese prospect.

Last release of 2023! This vocal speed garage track combines old school house vibes with a modern UKG flava. Snappy drums and rumbling basslines make this a must have for any DJ.

Happy New Year!!!

IsGwan - Witness (Killjoy Remix)

Newcomer to the label but a name on everyones lips in the scene is ODF, with a Speed Garage roller 'Know Dis' for more club ready sounds to compliment 1FFNG009.

ODF is a 19 year old, Leeds-based DJ and producer originally from London who incorporates his love for grime, garage and jungle into his high energy bass-orientated sets. With releases across labels such as Diamond Hand Records, Beastwang and Southpoint many of his productions have caught the attention of some high-profile artists such as Interplanetary Criminal, Mainphase and p-rallel, leading to a release on Hardline Records aswell as support on Radio 1, Kiss FM, Rinse FM and Reprezent.

ODF closed our 2022/23 season last Summer at Wire and has been in touch with the label ever since.

PREMIERE: Body Clinic - Give It To Me (Baby Rollén Remix) [Suckerpunch]

MISS YOUR LOVE

The return of our VA series is marked with the new chapter ‘Freaky Friends Volume 1’ featuring the likes of P.Leone,
Nasty King Kurl, Sentient State, Ole Mic Odd, Dj Swagger, and Main Phase.

The Berlin-based label has been going strong since its founder - Australian DJ and producer Dj Whipr
Snipr - launched it in 2016, with recent genre-spanning releases traversing acid, house, breaks, and
electro from artists such as DJ Bowlcut, Low Tape, Soela, Subjoi, Interplanetary Criminal, J.Albert, DJ
Safeword, Anthony Fade, and many more. Nerang now invites six quality artists for its most ambitious
release yet to inaugurate the imprint’s ‘Freaky Friends’ series.
E-Missions founder and Rekids regular P.Leone leads the way with a thudding breaks number called
‘Parting Currents’. A rumbling bassline is later joined by lush pads and a hammering piano melody
destined to rocket listeners into new heights. Following appearances on 777 Recordings and Low
Income Squad, Nasty King Kurl is next with a raw sounding ‘Lawless’ - a syncopated cut that blends
acid and electro with Memphis rap and R&B.
In fine form off the back of releasing on Hilltown Disco and 99cts RCRDS, Nerang veteran Ole Mic Odd
brings a sweaty Ghetto House stomper named ‘Hydro Anthem’ complete with a gritty acid bassline and
Pointdexter-esque chopped vocals, making way for Sentient State’s ‘4 Tha Freaks’ which exhibits the
New York-based artist’s softer side as he layers lush pads on top of a stripped back electro rhythm for
pure euphoria.
With releases on Natural Sciences, Who’s Susan and E-Beamz, Germany-based producer Dj Swagger
ups the energy, clocking in with the compilation’s fastest track in a bouncing Chicago House inspired
cut entitled ‘The Phone Talky’. Tying it all together, Warehouse Raves and ec2a artist Main Phase’s ‘Get
Higher’ is a punchy UK garage track complete with thudding 909 kicks, purring bass, fluttering vocals
and rave stabs.
Various Artists ‘Freaky Friends Volume 1’ drops on Nerang Recordings on 5th June 2020.
