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

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.

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

Marking five years of Pineapple Records and a decade since his seminal debut Wasted Days, Sam Binga returns with Club Orthodontics—a mixtape that captures, in high definition, where he stands today as an artist, DJ, and label head. Entirely collaborative and sonically expansive, the project draws from a vibrant palette: Drill, Dancehall, Baile Funk, Breakbeat Garage—all unified by Bingas signature blend of percussive drive, weighty bass, and razor-sharp vocal features. With contributions from a revolving cast of Pineapple-affiliated producers and MCs, Club Orthodontics is both a celebration of community and a masterclass in cohesion. Its unmistakably UK in its attitude and approach, designed to hit just as hard in headphones as it does in the dance. Featuring key collaborators such as Bakey, Machinedrum, and Cesco, the mixtape is a snapshot of Pineapples creative ecosystem—a scene defined not by genre boundaries, but by shared intent and fearless collaboration. Club Orthodontics isnt just a mixtape; its a testament to the collective power of sound system culture reimagined for 2025. Distributed by Label Engine - www.label-engine.com

One of the most interesting (and tallest) producers in Bristol, Samba - often known for his intricate and emotionally charged 140 on iconic labels such as Deep Medi - switches things up with a thoroughly dancefloor-focussed Club inspired EP for the mighty Pineapple. Broody sees Samba and another Sam (the Binga) team up with the incredibly talented Rochy Romero, who laces the bass-led beat with cold-hearted but anthemic lyrics - told my ex imma need more room, but she still on my line tryna bug me - put her on pause, I dont wanna resume. Vocal cuts and an almost vapourwave synth-line set off the pounding kicks and whip-shaking bass to create a unique blend of UK attitude and US swagger. BB was the first track Samba sent over for the EP and its a monster. Club-patterned kicks keep the funk focussed, while another female vocal represents for all the Baddies out there. Support on this one from Alix Perez, Sicaria and more. The Work brings Cimm and HiJinx into the picture - incredibly crisp production brings a luxurious sheen to the Club production palette, resulting in another Jersey-inspired dancefloor weapon.

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.
