Big up, we're back after a week off. Energised by the Welsh countryside, we've locked in to the dig to bring 12 carefully curated records. That being said, let's get straight into it.

Record of the Week: JNG - Raw Flavours

JNG has previously sampled Call of Duty: Warzone and released an EP dedicated to the Happy Meal, so there's always a bit of fun buried in his heavier cuts. He's become one of those up-and-coming names I know will make the newsletter before I even click the track, an artist who just knows how to season a tune well. Raw Flavours is no different, a tight bassline that is, and I quote, a “head rearranger”.

Up next we have HIJINX - Survival Loop, a deep 140 cut for a sweaty warehouse at 5am. It's rolling, minimal, and vocally pretty haunting. If you need something a bit more funky, MUCKANIKS - Best Believe is a groovy UKG number that celebrates his signature sound of old-school hip-hop vocals and contemporary garage beats.

On free download, the big man, Club Angel, has blessed us with a Destiny's Child remix. He claims it's “one for the gyaldem” but I'm rather enjoying it too.

Plenty more to get your ears around.

IPC @ Paradise City 2026: If you ever wanted to see a man tag-team a vape and a pack of fags, then this is the set for you. We don't really need to introduce the man behind the CDJs here, but we must appreciate what IPC has achieved over the last few years. These sets are hyper-addictive, a plethora of some of the best tunes across UKG. Enjoy.
