Scuffed Recordings co-owner Wager (@wagerdj) debuts his new alias on the label with a four-track EP exploring his breaks, electro and bass influences.

London-based Wager (formerly known as High Class Filter) has spent the past few years building momentum as a DJ, with festival appearances at Glastonbury and Parklife, gigs across London and the rest of the UK, and a long-running residency on Reprezent Radio.

At the same time, he has built an in-the-know following with his productions, which have appeared on labels like Moveltraxx, Futurebounce, and Four40, and seen support on BBC Radio 1, 6Music, Rinse and NTS.

As one-half of the Scuffed Recordings team alongside Ian DPM, Wager has built the label into one of the most respected UK underground electronic labels of recent years.

The ‘Vector’ EP marks the first release under the Wager alias, and marks his first return to Scuffed since the Elemental EP in 2018.

Across four tracks, Wager explores a blend of club-focussed influences – from the acid-tinged electro slammers ‘Bump’ and ‘Vector’, to the sludgy ‘Acetic’, and rave-meets-grime workout ‘Prismatic’.

Out April 30th.

GAB is gassed that it's next premiere comes from Brick Sweat's very own Slim Shae. As well as co-running the label, Shae has put together this dark and dingy electro production filled with squidgy synths and robotic rhythms which will be available soon on Brick Sweat's forthcoming VA - The Foundation. 

Keep your eyes on these guys - they came through for our event in Leeds a few weeks back and shelled without mercy. 

Few more words about them below. 

𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗦𝘄𝗲𝗮𝘁 /brɪk swɛt/ 𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘯
1. The grotty condensation that drips from the ceilings of dingy underground clubs
2. A record label based in the North of England inspired by and devoted to the underground.

Brick Sweat Records was founded through a passion for dance music and the culture that comes alongside it that we all know and love. Formed by a group of 3 friends (Slim Shae, DJ Mean-E and Samyul), Brick Sweat Records aim to put the sounds of the underground on the map; the sounds that brought them here in the first place.

Our first release is The Foundation VA - 20 tracks, 20 artists. This track is a part of that album and all the proceeds will be for charity. We hope you enjoy. Love.

PREMIERE: Slim Shae - Sequencing [Brick Sweat Records]

GAB is honoured to premiere Silverback's "Laceration" released on one of our favourite labels, Special Blends. Here's a few words from SB boss Maleekaveli about Silverback's "Shivers" EP:

'For our next release, we're super excited to welcome Silverback to the label. The Leeds-based producer and co-founder of Basement Labs has put together four tracks of pure electro filth. Carefully constructing melodic layers of dreamy synths with hard-hitting basses, Silverback creates a spacey atmosphere to lose yourself in with each track.'

Following up on the success of their inaugural release, Out of Sorts present the first of their new club-focused digital series, OOSX. MELD boss Mod-R sets the tone for the series with Jury: four tracks carefully selected with dark rooms and big sound systems in mind. The release spans a range of percussive, breaks-fuelled workouts that vary in tempo but are aligned by a distinctive UK feel that runs through the DNA of each track. From the classic samples used in Capacitive and Long Way from London that nod to the hazy days of warehouse raves; to the chopped-up breaks and weighty bass compositions of Jury and Mandate that make for a real heads down affair. 
Wrapping up the release is Maya Q on remix duties, who flips the title track with a refined, UK funky laced twist, chopping up the melody to provide a change of style and pace on the release. The five track release is due out 7th January 2022 and will be available on our bandcamp and through streaming and digital download platforms.

Leeds-based label Reference Mark Recordings’ third release welcomes the first non-Alfred track to the label – a remix from young producer Gibbin. This dark heavyweight stomper is defined by choppy vocals, spacey chord stutters and driving kick and bass patterns. The full release has subtle references and similarities to the first two more garage-inspired releases, but clearly has electro and breakbeat influences.

After the fantastic reception of Equus’ ‘REHD’ EP, seven artists have each selected a track from the release, resulting in five different but wholly dance floor ready remixes. No Nation and Sheba Q are making waves across the London jungle scene and beyond through their dedication to the genre, and this remix truly showcases the versatility of their production skills - taking a breaks heavy track and flipping it to create a euphoric half-time stepper that retains the nature of the original release.

PREMIERE: Equus - Blood Red (Sheba Q & No Nation Remix)

Bristol based independent record label since 2015.
