Vector EP (Out Now)

95Bones & Wager - Purple Hilt

Radio shows & mixes

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.

Scuffed Recordings launch their new singles series Scuffed Bits with a double-sided single from Scuffed veteran @95Bones and label co-founder @wagerdj.

Scuffed have spent the past four years building a name for themselves as one of the most exciting underground UK club labels of recent years, picking up a DJ Mag Best of British nomination and being named as one of Mixmag’s labels of the year in 2021. Now they look ahead to 2022 with a brand new singles series, Scuffed Bits, which will release one-off singles from members of the Scuffed roster and friends of the label.

Written at the beginning of 2020 just before the pandemic, the two mixes of ‘Purple Hilt’ feature the same sparkling melodies and glitchy acid line, but the two producers offer a distinct approach on each mix by paying homage to different genres that have influenced their work.

‘Purple Hilt’ will be released as the first single on Scuffed Bits on 14th January 2022.

Up first is the ‘East London Aerial’ Mix, which is tied together by the skippy hats and rapid-fire percussion of grime. On the flip side is the ‘1315 Broadway’ Mix, a more straightforward, club-focussed version of the track with nods to classic electro and techno.

‘Purple Hilt’ will be released as the first single on Scuffed Bits on 14th January 2022.

Scuffed Recordings with Ian DPM, Wager & rumu - 22 November 2022

Up next for Tapes #85 is London-based DJ, producer, label owner and radio host Wager, who’s become known for championing an array of sounds from across the electronic and club music spectrum.

Soaking up his home city’s history of musical innovation and cross-pollination, Wager’s love for curating genre-dodging club heat was cemented in 2017 when he co-founded Scuffed Recordings with Ian DPM, the result of an internet friendship initially struck up over a mutual love of the wonkier side of house and techno. With Wager and Ian at the helm, Scuffed has since become a go-to label for hard-to-define dancefloor material, named as an essential label by the likes of Mixmag, DJ Mag and Resident Advisor.

He joins us this Saturday for the Scuffed Recordings takeover at The Pickle Factory. Tickets: https://ra.co/events/1636189
