For the second instalment of Pineapple's 'Fruit Salad' series, aimed at spotlighting exciting new talent we're buzzing about, we've got a full spectrum release, ranging from dark 140 techy vibes from Italy, through 150bpm loopy acid from Mexico, to speed-dembow from Florida and finally 160bpm turbo madness from LA. All tracks have been tested in sets across the globe, and all combine dance floor weaponry with that slight twist that keeps things creative :) 1. Fabio FC & DWB: Mai Lova Simultaneously moody yet groovy, the combo of intense bass pressure with heady atmospherics really works well on the floor and in the mix - when Sam Binga dropped it at the Warehouse Project last year, it really felt like that was the moment the crowd locked in fully. Spread across Como and Pesaro, both Fabio and DWB ('Dangerous While Bored') are key players in the new wave of Italian Dance Music, alongside fellow Pineapple members HLRTY and Coido. 2. 1OO1O & SLACK 1NE: Step Up Hailing from Xalapa, in Mexico's Veracruz state, 1OO1O has been on an absolute tear recently, delivering the 1010th edition of the Resident Advisor Mix Series, and the stunning 'Tribalista' EP on TraTraTrax. And if you've been to a Pineapple-related event in the last year or so, you've definitely heard his incredible 150pm 'Night' refix. On 'Step Up' 1OO1O keeps the tempo high, but the rolling grooves and trippy acid lines give this a wiggle rather than a stomp. Built alongside Melbourne's SLACK 1NE during one of his visits to CDMX, 'Step Up' is a great addition to that 150bpm world of global club music which is becoming so essential. 3. Ron Mercy: Bownce That Ron Mercy should be no stranger to fans of uptempo, booty shaking and grin inducing dancefloor bangers. His work on Moveltraxx has been supported across the board, while his EP here on Pineapple with Amy Kisnorbo combined Miami Bass with elements of Juke, Footwork and House - to great success! On 'Bownce That', cut-up dancehall elements combine with 808 bass, bouncing 909 toms and a supremely danceable arrangement. With dancefloor-focussed music, less really can be more 4. DOK G: Nobody Likes U ft DJ FUCKS HIMSELF There's a great history of contrarian vocal samples in dance music - how many tracks sampled Eminem spitting 'nobody listens to techno' back in the early 2000s? - and 'nobody likes the records that you play' fits right in. There's also a great history of tracks that start with one vibe, and switch halfway through, and the switch from spiky 160bpm electro to pounding 4/4 hardcore mayhem in here stands up tall in that lineage. Dok G hails from LA and founded the Elastic Rhythms label, while DJ Fucks Himself is part of Berlins's Raiders Records crew. Distributed by Label Engine - www.label-engine.com

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

HLRTY, Pineapple's Prince of Palermo, returns to the label with a VERY extended player, the Fionda EP. Building on the foundations laid by last year's GANZO EP, Fionda sees Francesco stretch his wings and continue to stake a claim as one of the most interesting and innovative producers working in the as-yet undefined space between Club, Electro, Techno and Bass. Across a full seven tracks, including another collaboration with label-affiliate Coido, we can see the scope of HLRTY's ambition really start to take shape, with thrilling results. Btw - his 'GANZOLATOR' edit got a big play recently at the Fred Again NY show, courtesy of Dr Jeep… 'Slingshooters' kicks the project off, and while it initially feels like a continuation of the stripped-back, tuff 150bpm Club vibes of 'Bitch Mode', but a surprisingly melodic breakdown leads into a deeper, more rolling second drop… Before we turn back to the tuff to close things out. 'Willigo', alongside fellow Italian new-generation dons Ethik and ETN ETN, shows a hitherto unexplored side of HLRTY's production, blending rolling house drums with lush synths, warped and heavily manipulated vocals, and emotional, almost electro synth stabs. A truly immersive listen, that still works incredibly well on the dancefloor. 'Ossimoro' takes things back to more familiar territory - tuff, club-focussed Electro. Some of the most polished production around manages to mix robotic vocals, distorted bass and punchy drums to create a guaranteed floor-shaker. 'Nutriko' brings things back up to the 150bpm range, acting almost as a continuation of 'Ossimoro'. Again taking a few elements - vocal chops, heavy bass, rolling acid - HLRTY expertly weaves them into something undeniably infectious and propulsive. '22222' sees HLRTY and Coido reunited, after their club banger 'Odiso' on the inaugural Fruit Salad Various Artists EP from the tail end of last year. Twisted techno grooves and creative distortion dominate the first half of the track, while another unexpected melodic breakdown sets up a full beat switch for the second half of the tune. Once again, the ambition extends beyond looping, copying and pasting… 'Scafazzato' (slang for a 'cheeky rascal') appears in two forms. The original expertly mixes elements of Techno, Club and Acid (and an expected piano-vamp outro) for what is becoming a HLRTY trademark blend of flavours, while the 'Dark Mix' takes things deeper - but still tuff and Club-infused.

The first in a new series of Various Artist EPs from your favourite fruit emporium, Pineapple Presents Fruit Salad: Vol 1 is a snapshot into what is getting us excited musically right now. Four tracks ranging from deep UKG, through pounding electro, raw Club and bass-heavy Acid. Myriads Deep Dive has been battered on dub by Bakey and Cesco, which should tell you all you need to know about the quality on display here. Proper Bristol rollage, with proper UK swing. Odiso is possibly the heaviest tune weve released, and sees Pineapples Sicilian Prince, HLRTY, team up with another Italian new-gen maestro, Coido, for an unstoppable electro / techno pounder. 444 sees LAs Bodymind step out from behind the decks and into her production era, smashing classic Club breaks together to create one of the rawest takes on Bmore / Jersey weve heard in a while. Acid Headtopper has been a secret weapon in Bingas sets for a while, and sees Bristols Zoro open his sound up into exciting new territories - tight 4/4 kicks, heavy sub bass and an insistent acid line all working together to trip out the dancefloor.

Sicilian producer HLRTY is a leading light of the new generation of Italian Club producers, alongside rapidly rising stars such as a COIDO, Ethik and Fabio FC (aka Was A Be). Combining elements of distorted Electro, Jersey Club and floor-shaking Techno, this new wave is making some of the most exciting dancefloor music around at the moment. GANZO itself is a slang term for a cool, shrewd and generally on-point person or thing - and coincidentally, this is maybe the first time someone Ive met at a show has sent me tracks and theyve instantly blown me away. All these tracks have been highlights in my set for the last year or so, and Im incredibly excited to help get them out into the world. VENALE has an infectious bounce, built around a single chopped-and-screwed vocal cut and the biggest kick since Timbaland brushed dirt off Jay Zs shoulder. This is Club music with a twist - its not trying to imitate the originators, but rather add a different - and complimentary - flavour to that incredibly inspiring soup. BITCH MODE is a perfect example of doing more with less - and as a result has been one of the peaks of my set for a hot minute. Sitting up around 150bpm and leaning fully into the redlining is headlining aesthetic, BITCH MODE is Charli XCX doing the Percolator in Palermo. On PCP. TALKINGSH#T brings luscious rave chords and Sheffield bleeps into the HLRTY-verse, with a more chopped-up beat adding heft doses of syncopation and funk. Not quite breaks, not quite club, but totally infectious. ANSIOGENO feels like Acid Rave and UK Funky had a child at 148bpm. Straight in from beat 1, the unique arrangement takes listeners and dancers alike on a journey through chunky intensity, culminating in a unique wobbling bassline guaranteed to fry brains and feet. OTRAVEZ feels like a Miami Bass track got lost somewhere in Southern Europe - heavy bass pressure meets twisted vocals and a sweaty electro bounce. Absolutely undeniable on a soundsystem!
