Kai Wachi returns to the release radar with his massive fan-dubbed Cry Wachi project for 2022, the eagerly awaited 8-track ‘SKINS’ EP. Fans and listeners alike can now finally revel in the cinematic and heady bass offering. The monumental release follows Wachi’s previous lead singles such as last month’s ‘Eternity’ with Calivania and April’s ‘All Your Lies’ with Lexi Norton, as well as a collaboration with Black Tiger Sex Machine released at the beginning of the year. Out now via Kannibalen Records, Kai Wachi’s ‘SKINS’ EP is available to listen to across all streaming platforms.

Kicking off the sonic endeavor that is the ‘SKINS’ EP, the intro “It’s Me” starts the journey ahead with a serene soundscape paired with a faint introspective monologue. The beginning of the story to be told in the tracks to come, listeners are left with the thematic thought to be explored ahead – “Maybe I am the ghost.”

Maintaining the palpably raw tension crafted in the intro track, “I Believed” takes the reins, featuring vocals from Los Angeles based singer-songwriter Nina Sung. The high octane masterpiece effortlessly pulls at one’s heartstrings with emotionally-charged lyricism and a rapturous ambiance. Infused with commanding and infiltrating bass drops, the sonic offering brings forth equal parts emotion and intensity, characterizing the rest of the EP.

“All Your Lies” with burgeoning vocalist Lexi Norton directly follows, unfolding a story about authenticity and getting your power back. Rife with intoxicating, distorted basslines and sweeping melodic sensibilities, the track serves a captivating flair with each passing second. Up next is “Voice”, unveiling a rapturous ambiance with a series of heady soundscapes. Rising talent SoundR lends her silvery vocal abilities to the propelling tune, complimenting the expertly crafted bass drops and propulsive production.

Continuing the immersive atmosphere of the previous, title track “Skins” with dynamic musician YMIR takes over. Soul-rendering and rising in tension, larger-than-life production permeates listeners’ eardrums, delivering a palpably raw amalgam of hefty bass drops. Directly following is “Eternity” featuring rising talent, Calivania’s, hypnotic vocals. Breaking slowly with harmonious elements and upbeat synths before flipping with heavy, glitch-like percussion, the mesmerizing offering overflows with a raw soul-stirring energy.

The EP’s penultimate track, “Better Off Alone”, features vocals from emotive singer-songwriter RUNN. Starting off with hypnotic instrumentation and honest lyrics, the tune picks up energy with a euphoric and melodic bass drop. A roller coaster of bass-drench sounds and supersonic percussive elements, the commanding cut is a prime example of the capabilities of both creative forces.

“Ghost” rounds out the ‘SKINS’ EP with a flawlessly-executed vocal performance from TezaTalks. The imminent bass drops and emotionally-charged lyricism provide a much-needed enrapturing finishing touch. Boasting fluttering synth manipulation and a propulsive tone, the track marks a cathartic end to the pensive journey that is ‘SKINS’.

Cementing his position as bass music’s most promising talent, Kai Wachi’s latest offering serves as the start of the next phase of his musical career. Showcasing his unyielding craft and fine tuned production technique, the ‘SKINS’ EP sets the producer apart as one of electronic music’s most influential heavyweights.

Scottish producer BETH returns on The Cross Records with new single Wait, following a breakout 2026 of festival slots, Ibiza dates and Radio 1 support.

In the space of a year, BETH has gone from respected up and comer to a genuine festival act. Her debut on The Cross Records, “Keep It Movin’,” is closing in on 1 million streams, and she’s kept up a steady run of releases on labels like TSHA’s Jackfruit, Eats Everything’s Edible, and Melon Bomb Records, along with a well received remix of Karen Harding’s “Island.” That output has earned her support on BBC Radio 1, with plays from Sarah Story and Arielle Free.

Her live schedule has kept pace too. This year she’s played TRNSMT Festival, Sub Club, Cabaret Voltaire, and SWG3 in Scotland, Mas Que Nada in London, and Lakota in Bristol, plus Ibiza dates at Hï, Cova Santa, and Pikes.

“Wait” marks a step forward in her production. Where “Keep It Movin'” leaned into sultry, harmonic melodies, “Wait” goes bigger and brighter, built around euphoric piano chords, a driving 90s inspired break, and deep reese bass. It’s a feel good summer record from an artist whose rise shows no signs of slowing down.

Scarper Drops ‘Off-Cuts (2014-2021)’ Compilation

Scarper releases ‘Off-Cuts (2014-2021)’, a collection of eight unreleased tracks from the era behind his debut album ‘Warmer Squares’ and ‘E-Funk’.

UK artist Scarper has released ‘Off-Cuts (2014-2021)’, a hand-picked collection of eight previously unreleased tracks pulled from the same period that produced his critically acclaimed debut album ‘Warmer Squares’ and his 2020 dancefloor tune ‘E-Funk’, which has been experiencing a resurgence thanks to a recent physical release on a new imprint.

The project is exactly what it sounds like, Scarper going back through his studio archives and finding the demos, jams, and ideas from that era that were good enough to polish up and put out. “I realised I had quite a few demos, jams and ideas on my laptop from that period, some of which were decent enough to polish up and get out into the world,” he said. “It’s a snapshot of where I was musically at the time, so I thought I’d package them together as a retrospective rather than a proper release, giving people something to enjoy while I crack on with the next project.”

The eight tracks cover a lot of ground, from the epic opening chords of ‘Skynet’ to the acid squelches of ‘Steppe’ and the string arrangements of ‘Halocline’. It is the kind of release that rewards the people who have been paying attention, and sits comfortably alongside some of his best work.

Scarper has built his career almost entirely on his own terms, releasing through his own imprint Plexus Records and picking up support from Orbital, Laurent Garnier, Carl Craig, Rinse FM, BBC 6 Music, Mixmag, and DJ Mag along the way.

‘Off-Cuts (2014–2021)’ is out now on Plexus Records.
