Scuffed Recordings line up the sixth instalment of their Scuffed Presents series, with four artists from the Scuffed roster stepping up to remix tracks from the label catalogue.

The Scuffed Presents remix compilations have become an annual tradition for the Scuffed schedule each summer, with previous remixes coming from the likes of Nikki Nair, Marshall Applewhite, Stones Taro, and label founders Ian DPM and Wager.

On 2021’s edition of the series, the label welcomes Farsight, Fiesta Soundsystem, Dubrunner, and An Avrin to put their spin on their favourite Scuffed tracks – resulting in a fresh and wide-reaching mix of sounds.

Starting off proceedings is San Francisco-based @djfarsight, whose rework of Stones Taro’s ‘To Rave’ comes straight off the back of his Renegade EP on Scuffed – which saw huge support from the likes of SHERELLE, Anz, Jamz Supernova, and more.

Up next is @fiestasoundsystem, who brings a relentless injection of jungle madness to Heritage’s anthemic ‘The Revelation’.

Stretchy Dance Supply co-founder @dubrunneruk takes the reins next with his pulsing dancehall-techno rework of a Scuffed deep-cut – Sy’s ‘4.3’.

Closing out the release is Londoner @4navr1n, whose wonky, idiosyncratic style is on show all over his remix of Dubrunner’s ‘Destination Unknown’.

Out July 23rd.

Let us introduce Kevin Murf, with his debut EP ‘All Inclusive’. The first glimpse into his world, and what a world it is. Five deep excursions, all contrasting each other, speaking about the endlessly destroying pursuit of happiness of humans.

From the chopped-up breaks and surging bass bins of opening track ‘Unexpected Jazz Crush’, to the supreme sound design & perc work on ‘Last Minute’, a bonafide club tool.
Followed by ‘Bagombo’, a janky, tribal post-African number which glues it together with samples sweeping through taxing build-ups and blissful breakdowns.
‘Small Hole of Large Absorption’, a near 5 minute atmospheric build-up of eerie field recordings and spacious samples, giving rest bite to the club weapons it followed, reminding the end of our naive world.
Lastly, ‘Unexpected Jazz Crush (Solastalgia)’, concludes the EP. Based on a neologism of distress caused by environmental change, it’s a stripped back version of the opener that gives a clean end to the journey. 

Tracklist:

1. Unexpected Jazz Crush
2. Last Minute
3. Bagombo
4. Small Hole of Large Absorption

PRE ORDER BGSC2207 - NVST - "Drum in the Bass of Attention" LP
https://bigsciencerecords.bandcamp.com/album/drum-in-the-bass-of-attention

After «Compiled Works 2017-2019» including the famous from underground «Police Star Pablo», NVST makes a stellar comeback on Big Science with her debut album, «Drum in the Bass of Attention». Key player of the Swiss rave and dance music scene, NVST stays true to her nonconformist nature and brings up new dimensions to her sound in her latest work. Going back and forth between hopeful lightness and gritty despair, NVST listens to the world and echoes its confusion throughout ten tracks of fragmented textures and sensitive reflection. 

In this album, she  keeps one foot on the dancefloor and another one on the streets, bringing politics back to dance music via implacable statements and unforgiving basslines. With a very personal language, NVST moves the listener to take a look around. Ask yourself ?

Limited edition pressed on tape format, in a plastic recycled case, complete with a 12p insert with lyrics, designed by Warzou. Two tracks will be released as Single format, including remixes from Jan Loup & Warzou.

@djstrawberrymusic, or rather Emre Öztürk, is a Turkish sound artist, representing Algorave Istanbul. He debuted with the track 'Hafif Müzik' on the compilation album “grids” released by outlines. The album “Cycles”, which is the artist's full-length debut, is the third release in the catalogue of guides, a sub-label of the outlines label.

Side A of the cassette opens with 'Motion', an extremely spacious and ambient composition in which individual sounds gradually reveal a vast cosmic landscape. DJ Strawberry's next track, 'Dance/Music', floats in a similar sounding atmosphere, but is enriched by vocal samples, which in the initial phase of the track are repeated single words. In the central part of the recording, the author of the spoken words is revealed – he is one of the most important representatives of Chicago Footwork, DJ Spinn, who is joined after a while by his legendary friend DJ Rashad. Excerpts from their conversation are taken from a 2012 French TV interview. In it, Rashad and Spinn talked about the origins of footwork and it is this part of the conversation that is placed by Strawberry at the climax of the piece. The modern and futuristic footwork sound is combined here in a surprising way with the story of two Chicago legends. 'Variation' is the third number on the A-side, which calms the atmosphere after the extremely exciting and dynamic 'Dance/Music'. We find ourselves in a dub-ambient space, watching the spectacular ethereal images shift. Concluding the A-side, 'Fast Track' is a composition in which one can hear inspiration from the Japanese footwork minimalism of DJ Fulltono and CRZKNY from their joint project Theater1. A clear rhythmic pulse is surrounded by delicate micro-drops.

The B-side of the cassette is a consistent development of DJ Strawberry's created sound world. 'Acelem Var' presents a subdued liquid variation of ambient dub. 'Acelem Yok', on the other hand, is the most monumental track and its dramatic layer is as spectacular as the final section of 'Dance/Music'. The concluding B-side of “Cycles”, 'Mono Ton', is like an extended complement to the last track from the A-side, 'Fast Track'. Here, too, you can hear the scattered particles floating in rhythmic space against an underwater, impressionistic and ambient background.

DJ Strawberry's album “Cycles” is an extremely mature offering. Different genre traditions intermingle here: ambient, minimalism, dub techno, clicks and cuts and Chicago Footwork. Strawberry builds his songs with great sensitivity, combining the modern with the classic Chicago sound. An excellent example of this is 'Dance/Music', in which the producer seems to be drawing attention to the prevailing trend in recent times where music and DJs have become more important than the people on the dance floor. Emphasising this problem by referring to the foundations of the dancer/DJ relationship in footwork culture is a treatment that puts things back into perspective. In turn, the fusion of the unique beauty of ambient with footwork and a tempo of 160bpm moves the “Cycles” album towards illustrative music, which could be the perfect soundtrack to accompany the new discoveries of Webb's telescope. It's also not hard to imagine these tracks sounding from the radio of a space-traversing Tesla.
