🚨OUT NOW • Kassian - Grain / Shell Dub 🚨
@kassiansound return to Faux Poly with Grain / Shell Dub. A stripped, club-ready two-tracker built for soundsystems.
Both cuts hit hard at ~145bpm 💨
Grain drives forward with a snarling modular acid line and blown-out drums, while Shell Dub leans into footwork energy all sharp percussion and that eroded log drum that’s quickly becoming a Kassian signature.
🗣️Words from Kassian:
“Creatively we feel completely free at the moment… this EP really feels like a pure expression of that and it might be our simplest music to date.”
No filler, EP drops today 🔗⬆️🔝

OUT NOW • NEIDA - WETLANDS EP 🚨
Wetlands EP drops today, an exceptionally promising new artist emerging from Bordeaux with a mesmerising EP out now.
Across four tracks, Wetlands EP navigates a range of sonic environments and emotional states, defined by meticulous sound design and some of the most detailed production heard on the label to date. Confident, versatile, and built for play across a wide spectrum of BPMs, Wetlands EP is out now on all platforms.
🗣️Words from Neida: These tracks were originally composed in 2024 and were selected by Joe and Warren through a bunch of demos I sent them. I like to think of this EP as a selection of four club-driven tracks, each one representing four different images/scenes.
In ‘Wetlands,’ you navigate through a mysterious marsh where toads leap and muddy waters bubble. ‘The Pursuit’ is a pretty straightforward track, but it does a good job of giving you the feeling that someone or something is chasing you.
‘Stuck In It’ is mechanical, giving the impression that you’re in a loop, stuck in an engine. With ‘Function’ I wanted to soundtrack this precise scene of a sweaty and smoke-filled club I had in mind, where dancers are lost in their moves, carried away by a tunnel of bass. All of these tracks were made In the box with Ableton. I mainly used samples, recordings I collected over the years and a little bit of my voice.”

Brand new club pressure from one of my favourite production duos - Kassian. UK bass, techno, heads down ukg heads will love everything about these guys. Their label Faux Poly is constantly pushing out forward thinking, club music with a relentless drive to make music for sound systems. Check their @rinse.fm show for more of their signature sound.
Grain has a serious groove on it and is one to work up a sweat to. Shell Dub on the flip, also a certified belter.

8 Emerging Artists On the @beatport Radar 🙌
Big love to @beatport for spotlighting Kiara Scuro in their On Our Radar: March 2026 feature 💚 From the early days to this new solo chapter, Kiara Scuro has been shaping a sound rooted in hypnotic percussion, rolling low-end and those unmistakable after-hours textures 🔥
The latest EP ‘The Sugar Zone’ is Out Now
Words from Beatport 🗣️“Kiara Scuro has always thrived in the late-night corners of the dance floor. Previously a duo and now operating as the solo project of Lebanese-British artist Nadia Harris, the London-based producer is stepping into a fresh era of club experimentation. Known for weaving hypnotic percussion, sleazy rollers and progressive club textures, Scuro has become a familiar name across venues like fabric, Phonox and Corsica Studios, plus festivals including Glastonbury and Dimensions.”
“Her debut EP Night Crush turned heads across the underground and even landed on Resident Advisor’s top releases of 2025. Now she’s back with The Sugar Zone on Faux Poly, a project that pushes deeper into crunchy bass stabs, chopped vocals and chugging 4x4 grooves. It’s playful, sweetly-tuned, stripped-back and built for knockout dance floor moments.”

Inside the Studio: Neida walks us through how he created the weird, evolving percussion on ‘Wetlands’ 🗣️🔥
Neida breaks down his latest single Wetlands, showing how LFOs, saturation, and delay transform simple sounds into a deep, hypnotic lead using basic tools.
Wetlands started as a tripped out glitchy half-time jam and evolving into a huge machine-drum techno club tool. Written in 2024 and crafted entirely in Ableton using samples, field recordings and subtle vocal textures, the EP reflects a producer shaping immersive club environments with clarity and control.
Proper excited for this one. Wetlands single is out now, The Pursuit drops 27 March, full EP drops April 8th 🧪✨
As we mentioned before thanks to our partnership with Beatportal, we’ll be bringing you deeper artist stories, interviews, and behind-the-scenes magic 🫶 So stay tuned for more 👀
