UK producer Chungo returns to Scuffed Recordings for his third EP on the label, with three new tracks pairing playful melodies and bouncing grooves with his signature bass-driven, percussive techno style.
Chungo has been a part of the Scuffed family since day dot, with his Fender EP arriving as the fifth release on the label back in 2018. The release marked him as an artist to watch and went a long way to establishing his characteristic sound, picking up support from artists like HAAi in the process.
He returned to Scuffed in early 2020 for his Pineapple EP; a release that showed his progression as a producer by introducing more melodic elements on the anthemic title track, while also marking a milestone for Scuffed as their first EP to be released on vinyl.
Meanwhile, Chungo’s Dudbridge Garage International label, run alongside LeftLeft, has been picking up pace over the past year, with the warped, vocal-led track ‘O O O’ receiving love from DJs like The Blessed Madonna and Qrion.
On the LX EP, Chungo further explores the melodic elements he set out on his Pineapple release, laying down an addictive earworm of a lead on the title track, while staying consistent to the percussive style he’s made his hallmark – pulling in influences from UK funky, garage, baile funk, and techno.
Early support on the EP has come from Ben UFO, Sherelle, re:ni, rRoxymore, and Emerald.
Scuffed! Oh, how I love you. Catapulting my nostalgia into the future. Farsight's Renegade is one of the strongest on this extremely strong label. Every measure is exactly right. What year is it? Dzin
