We close 2021 with our annual Scuffed Presents compilation, presenting four new artists to look ahead to in 2022.
The Scuffed Presents releases have become a yearly tradition, providing a taste of what’s to come in the upcoming year.
2021’s edition kicks off with Moscow producer Rnbws, who has been building a name for himself with recent appearances on labels like Nehza, Kouncil Cuts, and Cyberjit. ‘Till I Get Enough’ is a pounding, breaks-led track based around an addictive vocal, acting as a statement of intent for the rest of the compilation.
Up next is London-based newcomer Gesture – whose first ever track ‘Skynet’ is a barrage of lurching bass, glitched-out vocals, and erratic breaks.
The third track on the compilation comes from Edinburgh-based Feena, who has broken into the city’s club scene as a resident of the city’s Miss World collective, and honed her production skills as part of the Scuffed artist development scheme throughout 2021. ‘Dead Digits’ sees Feena combining eerie pads and a powerful Reese with elements of dubstep, breaks and garage.
Closing out the release is rumu, who debuted on Dusky’s 17 Steps label in 2020 and has since seen across-the-board support on BBC Radio 1, NTS, Rinse and Balamii. He joins the Scuffed camp with ‘Splinter’, a frantic electro-inspired stinger.
