UK producer Chungo returns to Scuffed Recordings for his third EP on the label, with three new tracks pairing playful melodies and bouncing grooves with his signature bass-driven, percussive techno style.

On the LX EP, Chungo further explores the melodic elements he set out on his Pineapple release, laying down an addictive earworm of a lead on the title track, while staying consistent to the percussive style he’s made his hallmark – pulling in influences from UK funky, garage, baile funk, and techno.

HOLLOW PURPLE

radiation aura

HGL - 001 - A2 JAY - Nostag

Grated rubber and evaporated sweat linger as he frantically taps his foot, wearing down the heel of his new kicks on the curb in-front. “8 minutes away… damn” he mutters whilst watching the taxi icon spin around on his phone screen. Worry sets in. He starts to decant his morning routine, blaming his lack of punctuality on the additional coffees or the 10 minutes spent ceiling-watching from under the covers. He rightly directs the blame towards himself, followed by a frantic checking of maps, as if some inter-dimensional wormhole will unveil itself and get him to work on time. He's not gonna make it.

Edinburgh producer Bolam releases his EP via Scottish-label MELD this month, and we couldn’t be more delighted! Four tracks of unadulterated UK-techno litter the release, with Bolam’s track ‘Break Yo Self’ getting an especially dark footwork flavoured remix by Sputnik One. The track features panic-induced hats, scattered grime-inspired claps and enough ‘halftime’ fun to make you dance away the dread.

PREMIERE: Bolam - Break Yo Self (Sputnik One Remix) [MELD]

The Scuffed family unite for a special Bandcamp-only compilation, out 1st May. 

All proceeds from this release will be split equally between the artists & The Trussell Trust, a charity aimed at bringing communities together to end hunger and poverty in the UK.

Various Artists - Loose Cuts (Previews)

Metrist contributes the second part of his Pollen EP trilogy to Timedance. This instalment sees the producer up the intensity of his sound to a fever pitch. Brash synths, sub drops and bold edits combine to make an evil concoction.

Pollen Pt. II

Metrist - KJ Receder

Dust gathered under the wheels, filling the air around them as their speed steadily increased. They had not seen another car on the open road for miles and miles, and now the temptation to put their foot down on the gas had become such that their MPH had far exceeded 100. The momentum was freeing; the breeze that ruffled their hair and the soft warm air that tickled their noses was the perfect antidote to the confines of the city they'd come to escape.

Milan-based producer Piezo is gearing up for the release of his debut album Perdu, following a healthy string of EPs for the likes of 81, Version, Wisdom Teeth, Idle Hands and his own Ansia imprint. Hundebiss is the home for his new long player which flaunts contrasting elements, at times raw, low and pulsating and at others, crystal clear and digital. Further demonstrating his knack for crafting UK techno and bass-leaning electronics and IDM cuts, Piezo connects the dots between his Italian roots and the sounds of Bristol.
