Mutationist EP by Destrata

Vancouver’s Destrata debuts on Scuffed Recordings with three warping, club-ready tracks.

In his short career so far, Destrata has worked with a who’s who of essential underground labels, making his debut in 2021 on Martyn’s seminal 3024 with the hybrid drum workout ‘Bait & Switch’.

His release schedule since then speaks for itself, appearing on a slew of bubbling club labels including SPE:C, Of Paradise, Intercept, eatmybeat and Club Designs.

Now making his first appearance on London’s Scuffed Recordings, Destrata offers up three new tracks on the Mutationist EP.

Opening with the title track, Destrata lays out a statement of intent with chopped vocals, lurching bass and tension-building synths. Up next is Clubmoss, a pumping techno-influenced roller that nonetheless maintains the skippiness and percussive slant that runs throughout the EP.

Closing the release is Desire Signal, which sees Destrata dial back the pace for a writhing techno-dancehall hybrid.
