Following a banner year for both Sir Hiss and Sam Binga - and indeed for Pineapple as a whole - in 2025, we felt it was time to revisit their joint release from 2023, the Jus Mek Duppy EP - aptly retitled 'Jus Mek RMX' Bristolian maestro, AÆE leans into his Brazilian heritage on his Funk-powered rework of 'Any Weather'. Classic Volt / Carioca elements meld perfectly with SBA Karma's iconic UK Drill flow, resulting in a festival banger that has been turning heads from Outlook to EDC. Anthemic! Coido makes a return to the label, after his collaboration with HRTY on last year's Fruit Salad EP, turning the 140 electro of 'ADRL' into a snarling 150bpm monster. As always with Coido, the production weight is heavy, and the vibe is meaty - at times, almost hinting at a universe where Noisia grew up in New Jersey. Hiss & Binga rework 'Wicked Set' into a rolling, deeper percussive VIP, explicitly referencing that early 2000s 'proto-dubstep' vibe of the early FWD days. MC Jakes vocal stabs are further dubbed out from the original and are joined by hypnotic chants, distorted ethereal melodic snippets, and depth-charge bass pressure. Turn the lights down and lock in. Finally, Pineapple's resident Booty Queen, one Amy Kisnorbo, twists wicked set into a tuff, minimal but fully propulsive 150bpm workout, equal parts Chicago Juke and Detroit Electro, yet still with an unmistakeable UK Grime influence. Zaps, FX and militant kicks are the key ingredients here - and provide an essential expansion of the Kisnorbian sound world. Distributed by Label Engine - www.label-engine.com

Pineapple Records (UK) Brazilian Funk
Pineapple Records (UK) Bass / Club
The sound for the Sir Hiss project, honed and fully realised on this album, developed after a US tour for the books with Sam Binga and Addison Groove, featuring almost exclusively back-to-back sets, fusing Hisss signature selections with music beyond his usual focus at the time. This push to newer sounds from Sam Binga and Addison Groove became realised in Hiss new production mindset as his approach began incorporating much more hardware, such as his Vermona DRM1, heavily featured on this project. After his sonic experimentation grew, alongside the bolstering of his hardware arsenal, the idea of creating his first long form project, centered around the collision of his past and present, inspired the name and concept for the album, Time Dilation. Drawing on his history in Bristol, his passion for foundational pirate radio, and the wide spectrum of music across global movements, Hiss brings together distinct sounds united by a common ethos. The album consists of 10 Tracks (12 Tracks if you know where to find them…) all unique in their own right, from Electro mutations, aggressively flanged drum workouts, distorted Dancehall sluggers, alien Devils Mixes and Grime infused Brazilian Funk… all-killer-no-filler time warpers ready for the club, space and beyond… Distributed by Label Engine - www.label-engine.com
