Promotional artwork for Yushka’s House Party 4 featuring Bubblewrap and Small Paul, representing psychedelic chillout, experimental electronica, Breaks and underground Techno from Nottingham’s free-party scene.

Yushka has published the tracklist for House Party 4 on Scientific Sound Asia, featuring Small Paul and Bubblewrap. The platform operates as an underground electronic music radio station for the Asian region and international audiences, alongside its work as a DJ agency, promoter and music news outlet.


This edition welcomes two long-standing figures from Nottingham’s underground music scene in the United Kingdom. Bubblewrap opens the show, bringing a downtempo and psychedelic direction rooted in years of activity across events, festivals and visual performance.


Bubblewrap is the founder of Technicolour Sounds and has been playing across the UK underground for more than a decade. He is also a resident for Earth Dance London and produces analogue projections for events and festivals, including Anthropos Festival.


His sound can move from chilled electronica to Psy Breaks, with a broad approach shaped by global underground influences. These range from wonky Australian sounds and hypnotic Asian bass music to desert-inspired textures from New Mexico and experimental edges from the United States.


For this House Party set, Bubblewrap presents a laid-back selection filled with psychedelic detail and melting harmonies. His contribution gives the episode a spacious opening before the show moves into heavier material.


The second part comes from Small Paul, a founding member of Dagobah Sound System from Nottingham. The collective emerged in 1997, inspired by parties organised by Samovar and the influence of Desert Storm.


In 2000, Paul and the remaining Dagobah members created Pure Filth, a club night with a squat-party feel and a simple philosophy, “you can have any music you want as long as it’s Techno.” That background helped shape his reputation for direct, underground and uncompromising selections.


After years away from DJing, Paul was brought back by the Samovar crew to play on Lockdown FM. He has since become a regular on the station while also returning to production work.


His recent studio activity includes a remix for Nick Samovar’s Going Loco EP and new material featured in his mix. Although Small Paul is often associated with classic stomping Techno through the Pure Filth collective, this edition presents a groovy Breaks set that keeps his sound suitably filthy.


House Party 4 moves between psychedelic chillout, experimental electronica, Breaks and underground club pressure. The episode fits the show’s open format, connecting Yushka’s house-party concept with two Nottingham artists rooted in free-party and underground culture.


The House Party episode 4 features Bubblewrap in the first section and Small Paul in the second, with the programme moving from Organic House, Downtempo and Electronica into Breakbeat, Breaks, Bass Music and Techno. Bubblewrap opens with Stavroz’s Zorrow, placing the show inside a slow-burning electronic and downtempo mood connected to Denature Records.


Nadav Dagon’s Wakka and Jack Essek’s Yazd move the selection into Organic House through Camel Riders, a label that presents itself around electronic genres, traditional folk and organic music. Nicola Cruz then adds Folha De Jurema, bringing Downtempo rhythm and Latin American electronic influence into the opening section.


Alex Donofrio’s Akumal and Deep Filip with Manimalion’s Viracocha continue the Camel Riders thread, keeping the set earthy, percussive and melodic. Viken Arman’s Charlie’s Absinthe then returns to Denature Records with another slower and more textured club entry.


Kerala Dust’s Kylie and Pional’s In Another Room bring Electronica into the middle of Bubblewrap’s selection. Featured Sun’s Bulbo with Jo.Ke and Christopher Schwarzwälder then shifts towards Melodic House and Techno through a deeper vocal and electronic club structure.


DJ Sergee’s Lost Symphony and Hot Oasis’ Tanoura return the set to Organic House, using Camel Riders’ folk-influenced electronic context as the main frame. Zen Baboon closes Bubblewrap’s section with Kaleido Fish in the Samsara Mix, ending the first part on a Downtempo selection with psychedelic and ambient detail.


Small Paul opens the second section with Baymont Bros and Steppa Style’s Move Ya Body, moving the show into Breakbeat through its Breaks / Breakbeat / UK Bass context. Guau and Destroyers then continue the same direction with Turn This X Up, a confirmed Breaks / Breakbeat / UK Bass release on 83.


Destroyers and Tumare’s Lose Control keeps the rhythm sharp before Hankook’s Funky DJ brings Distorsion Records into the sequence. Hankook’s own profile identifies him as a top Breaks artist, supporting the track’s place inside the Breakbeat run.


Bad Legs’ Lethalnes adds another break-driven entry through Funktasty Crew Records before A7x moves into Bass Music through Space Pizza Records. Shade K’s Dunn then brings Breaks into the middle of Small Paul’s section.


Perfect Kombo’s Revo, Hankook’s The Show and Bad Legs’ Let’s Go continue the Breakbeat pressure, giving the second section a direct Spanish breaks character. DJ30A and Hud Hudia then follow with Rock The Beat and My Records, keeping the set inside Breaks through Kaleidoscope Music.


Lady Shade’s You in the Shade K remix returns to Bass Music before Guau’s No More Acid restores the Breakbeat line. Yo Speed and Destroyers then bring The Monster into the late section, adding another bass-heavy club track from the Elektroshok Records area.


UMEK’s Side Missions introduces Techno near the close, drawing from the Slovenian producer’s long-standing techno profile. Kill Frenzy closes The House Party episode 4 with Mitsubishi on Octopus Recordings, ending Small Paul’s section with a dark Tech House cut after a route through Breakbeat, Breaks and Bass Music.
