The title and artwork of her debut EP \"Flaming June\" reference Frederic Leighton's iconic 1895 painting, symbolising both the beauty and awakening of femininity.\nRuby's journey of self-discovery and confidence mirrors the transition from a state of slumber to a vibrant spring, a theme vividly portrayed in her music. Influenced by iconic artists such as Joni Mitchell, PJ Harvey, and Adrianne Lenker of Big Thief, Ruby's sound is rich with introspective lyrics and warm, intricate instrumentation.\nNX Records is run by Richard Greenan (Kit Records), and Goldsmiths University Music Department.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NX Records","offers":[{"title":"CD.","offer_id":50380198281547,"sku":"2207401","price":5.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_acfbaf49_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726210668"},{"product_id":"brunnera","title":"Brunnera","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrunnera is the exciting debut record by Edinburgh artist Gordon Bruce - hand-picked for joint release by Matthew Herbert's NX Records (an offshoot of his Accidental imprint), and Kit Records (London label and NTS Radio stalwarts.)\nBrunnera unfolds over seven tracks of genre-defying dance music.

True to his word, 76% proceeds to uncap a plunderphonic geyser - sloshing sample manipulation against an array of analogue synths and mutant percussion.\n\nEach piece is an otherworldly sonic interpretation of a natural phenomena. Rippling, erupting melodies are painstakingly blended with samples of water, the cracking of bursting bubbles, and echoes that reflect light scattering through liquid. Chong's focus veers from a tangled mass of creaking fibres ('Knot'), to children bouncing balls through a vortex ('Mod 2'), and the heaving salt and sulphur of the Mexican coastline ('Cancun').\n\nListeners are coaxed through layers of fetid, peaty trip hop on 'Soft Soil', before a spiky amble across tarmac on 'Walkwave' - the crunching, three-legged rhythms for which were generated using Chong's very own home-made shoe-installed snythesizer (??!). Light is decoded into zero g serialist tones on 'Red and Black', before closing with an earth splitting homage to the perpetually rumbling 'Mount Yasur'.\n\nRecommended if you like Autechre, Daphne Oram, Suzanne Ciani.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NX Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50906073661771,"sku":"2229175","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_7d6fab38_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1732864693"},{"product_id":"68-1","title":"68","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003e'68\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is the debut album by the Goldsmiths Laptop Ensemble.
