We are delighted to welcome Douvelle19 fully into the Pineapple fold, after his much-loved collaboration with Cesco and Sylla ('Finders Keepers') became a highlight of our 2025 calendar. Over the past few years, we've gradually found ourselves becoming naturally more involved in each other's orbits, so it's great to finally work on a full EP project together. In his own words, Douvelle spends 'a lot of time trying to make music that conveys emotion', but for this release, the goal was 'to lead with energy instead of heart'. Yet across the three original tracks here, all the integral elements of dance music are expertly presented. 'Everything' has been a crowd-levelling staple of label boss Sam Binga's sets for the past 12 months, while 'Get The Money' mixes chunky, modern electro vibes with shimmering vocal tweaks and euphoric synths. 'Microtonic', meanwhile, sounds like what would happen if you took an early-2000s minimal producer and stuck them in Cardiff with a laptop and a gym membership - wonderfully squelchy gloops and bubbles, but with a solid backbone to beef the groove up properly. Built through a process of bouncing between fresh brain-melting plug-ins and the classic retro approach of Reason, the EP is completed by an insanely good Ruff Style Remix, which ramps up the swing on 'Everything' to Twice As Nice levels and slices & dices the original like prime Todd Edwards. Ruff Style might be more familiar to Pineapple fans as ZeroFG, whose 'Elemental' EP introduced a whole new generation to the joys of Breakstep back in March of last year. A real family affair all round! Distributed by Label Engine - www.label-engine.com

The threeway combo you never knew you needed. Sam Binga, Machinedrum and Cesco built the raw bones of these tunes across a single morning in LA, overlooking MacArthur Park, in an intense session that saw them throwing live Bingerian vocals, raw Brazilian shrimp-sellers and tweaked-out Acid lines into the melting pot. Further sessions between Highland Park and Stokes Croft saw these bare bones jams get fleshed out into the four genre-bending tracks that make up the Niche Flex EP, all of which have been tested out in clubs and festivals across the world, and which land this September via Binga's Pineapple Records imprint, on both vinyl and digital formats. While obviously handy in the studio, Team MACESGA (as nobody calls them) also can operate a DJ booth to a reasonably high standard, as witnessed at the raucous Pineapple Takeover at the Beatport HQ in LA, and are available to showcase their Trans-Atlantic Threesome at a Quality Music Venue or Devious Fetish Spot near you.

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
