Brighton-based producer @Tamlinspeaks brings his Bitter Fruit EP to Scuffed Recordings, showing his broad approach to production across four varied tracks.

Although the EP is Tamlin’s debut on Scuffed under this alias, he has previously appeared as part of the duo Heritage, whose releases have included some of the most defining tracks on the label. In comparison to the high-energy breaks and bass-led production of Heritage, the Tamlin alias shows a more introspective sound - spanning melodic electronics, broken techno, hybrid dancehall, and soaring breakbeats.

Opener ‘Bitter Fruit’ - focussed around a hypnotic marimba melody - was debuted by label owners Wager and Ian DPM on Rinse FM back in 2020 and has been the subject of countless track ID requests since.

Next up is ‘Diazemax’, which comes across like a sequel to some of Heritage’s earlier work such as ‘What U Wearing’ - all at once heavy, percussive, and floatingly melodic, while third track ‘Flutter in Blue’ slows the tempo to 100bpm for a weighty, dancehall-influenced roller.

To close out the EP, Tamlin recruits fellow Brighton producer Parry on ‘Rush’, the most intricately-produced track of the release - with reflective pads swirling around winding percussion.

"The Lost and The Unfound is a mixed body of art that contains many different emotions centering around my life. Previously I had written an entire album that I had completely lost [ technological pains ]. This album was written in a bit of a despair trying to regain what I had lost only to come up with something very different and something that feels much closer to myself. The Lost and The Unfound represents a portion of my life that I will look back on as chaotic. You can feel this through the many different emotions it portrays. Thank you to my grandpa for the amazing art as always. I feel blessed to have his art on the cover.
Love you grandpa."

"Nausika again prove that it isn't necessary to scream to be heard. Quiet, understated and confident space funk . Throwbacks to the early Subtitles sounds with a refined new approach. Three new tracks from Nausika and a fourth track 'War Machine' where the duo team up with rising Russian producer Brain Crisis."

Forthcoming on Control Freak Recordings [WLFRK001] 04/12/20.

Kicking off our new white label series is Brighton-via-Bristol producer @Syzuk. Drawing on a diverse range of touchpoints from across the spectrum of UK club music, this trio of dancefloor destroyers encompass precision-engineered soundsystem techno, mutant 2-step and West Country bass.

Wrapping things up, Pressure Dome founder @Yushh returns to Control Freak with her own flip of title track Bunzunkunzun, bringing down the BPM for a menacing rework that’s punctuated by her signature wonky rhythms.

Strictly limited vinyl release for these essential DJ weapons - get them while they’re hot!
