We are thrilled to present a new collaboration between @verg._._ and @twythen, two UK producers with a distinctive approach to club music who have left their mark on labels that have greatly inspired us, including Cloudcore and Strand Audio.

The Liverpool-based Verg and London’s Twythen bring their unique twist on UK bass music with “Demsiatsu”, a track that fuses atmospheric and percussive elements from the leftfield of the genre, featuring playful yet heavy basslines and infectious baile funk vocals.

“Demsiatsu” is out now on Bandcamp, Beatport, and all streaming platforms.

Supported by: Cameo Blush, Jossy Mitsu, Teqmun, Mincy, and many more

Verg & twythen - Demsiatsu

Pineapple Records welcomes one of the most exciting voices to emerge from the European underground with Ganzo - a bouncing 5-tracker from HLRTY, aka Francesco Cigna. Out the 9th May, Ganzo is a love letter to the club - raw, rhythm-focused, and precision-built for sweaty basements and late night missions.

 

A rising force on the European circuit, HLRTY has already appeared on lineups alongside Ehua, Main Phase, and recently went B2B with the Was A Be for their explosive set at Bunker (Turin) as part of Outlook Festival’s 2025 club tour. He made waves with his Rinse FM guest mix for Pineapple, and has gained tastemaker support from the likes of Piezo, Hassan Abou Alam, and Coido. His 2022 4-track EP RUDE earned critical acclaim across the Milan scene, further cementing his rep as one to watch.

 

Originally from Palermo, Sicily but now based in Bologna, HLRTY represents the next-gen energy surging through Italy’s club underground. As co-founder of the asterisco collective, he’s spent the last few years building a name for himself with high-octane sets and genre-fluid productions that channel UK club sensibilities through an unmistakably Italian lens. Think distorted electro, booming Jersey percussion, rolling breakbeats, footwork workouts and razor-edged UK bass.

 

A chance backstage meeting in Bologna between HLRTY and Pineapple boss Sam Binga led to an impromptu demo swap - and Ganzo was born. These tracks have been a mainstay in Sam’s sets ever since, now ready to tear up dancefloors worldwide.

 

From the kinetic drum flex of the opener to twitchy basslines and speaker-shaking bounce, Ganzo is uncompromising club gear with heart. Built for movement, shaped by years behind the decks, and grounded in a deep understanding of what drives a dancefloor.

 

HLRTY shares:


“This EP came together after a spontaneous chat with Sam Binga in Bologna. It’s raw and unfiltered - made for the club, by someone who lives for the club. There’s no overthinking, just instinct, energy and a search for the right sound. Ganzo means something cool, clever, on point, and that’s the energy I hope people feel in these tracks.”

 

With releases on Burro Studio, asterisco, and now Pineapple, HLRTY continues to carve a path that’s distinctly his own. Ganzo is sweaty, sub-heavy, and bursting with rhythm - an underground record from a producer who knows exactly what makes a crowd move.

 

More on Pineapple Records:

Since their first release in 2019, Bristolian label Pineapple Records, founded by DJ/producer Sam Binga, continues to push the needle with their genre-blurring approach to future-facing electronic music. Carving their own distinctive sonic fingerprint whilst honouring dance music’s rich cultural history, Pineapple Records has fostered a devout following via their tight-knit community of emerging artists from the creme of global grassroots scenes

 

With a keen eye for the cutting edge, the label boasts releases from some of the best and most interesting underground artists to do it, including Bianca Oblivion, Bakey, Nikki Nair and Fixate to name a few. With a host of accolades under its belt not least a longlist for Grammy nomination for Bianca Oblivion, Sam Binga and Fox’s Sweatboxx Party EP, a monthly label show on Rinse's SWU.FM channel, and a stage takeover and boat party at this years Outlook Origins in Croatia, ‘fresh, weird and strictly fire on the dance floor’  life just continues to get juicer and more delicious for the Pineapple universe. 

 

Pineapple continues to be a crucial platform for left-of-centre club music with global reach, and with Ganzo, they’ve got another stone-cold essential on their hands.

Expect an evening of potent electronics and immersive visuals, celebrating the forefront of the underground.

Every motion leaves an echo.
A delay so small it feels like memory,
folding back into what made it.

Some parts of us cancel out — out of phase, out of step —
while others ring louder,
resonant at their point of friction.

The closer we listen,
the more we hear the shape of time itself:
not in repetition, but in resistance.

Turn the gain high enough,
and every system...  afficher plus
