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.

Los Padres are coming in hot with another tech house heater as they drop their new single ‘Drown Me.’

The Orlando based DJ duo are renowned for their tasty blend of tech house, Afro house, melodic techno along with some Latin inspirations. This signature sound is on full display as ‘Drown Me’ centres around tech house but is packed with Latin influence on the intricate percussion. The track gets grooving right from the word go and keeps that energy up throughout making it a perfect club track to get people onto the dancefloor. While other tracks can get tiresome driving from start to finish, Los Padres have delivered great dynamism across the track with evolving beats and impactful shifts in bass.

‘Drown Me’ is but one example of Los Padres’ ability to make music with unique character. They’ve carved out their unmistakable style incredibly well and with that have earned themselves a devoted fanbase. Their music catalogue has earned them over 30 million streams, and they receive over 500,000 streams on Spotify every month. Their hard work gave them a huge breakout moment in 2025 as they were signed to Maison Sonics Group (MSG) where they have thrived.

Los Padres’ mastery of groove and blending influences together is something to behold and ‘Drown Me’ is another great showcase of what they’re capable of. Their fanbase is ever growing and ‘Drown Me’ is sure to continue to soar their popularity even higher.
