On his latest offering, &ME is delivering quite the achievement. Co-produced with Black Coffee, the a-side „The Rapture Pt. III” obviously continues the narrative of its predecessors. But unlike in the motion picture business, where sequels tend to be watered down rehashes of the original, those Raptures are just getting better and better. It’s all here, the dense and gentle build-up, the tender piano lines, the just overwhelming emotion. Safe bet, we’re dealing with a future classic here.

One of techno’s most exciting contemporary acts, Joyhauser, unveil their highly-anticipated debut album In Memoro. Chartered via their staple home Terminal M, the twelve-track LP was teased in recent months with the release of its lead singles Wasted, Liberty and Bassdrone. The full-length studio album is now available to stream across all digital platforms, with its subsequent vinyl release set for {{DATE}}.

Encroaching on the pinnacle of success, the release of In Memoro marks a seminal point in the duo’s career. Having delivered a consistent stream of hit records for the underground community, the pair’s inaugural album showcases their production efforts on the global stage, expanding on their flourishing discography in conceptual style. Representing some of their most daring and progressive opuses to date, In Memoro’s collection of tracks give us a more realised impression of the duo’s unrelenting creativity and ability to not only create peak-time worthy records, but to produce with ‘the journey’ in mind. Clocking countless studio hours over the past three years, Joyhauser’s debut 12” is a record that has been eagerly awaited by the modern audience for some time, and it doesn’t fail to deliver.

The previously released Wasted, Liberty and Bassdrone welcomed huge support across the club and festival circuits, entering the touring playlists of almost every major DJ in the scape. Fuelled by unrelenting drum patterns, hearty kicks and rapturous melodies, the cuts proved to be the anthemic gems of 2022/2023 and resumed their top charting placements respectively.

To the excitement of long-standing fans, In Memoro features a whole host of domineering techno hits that champion the stylistic leanings we’ve come to know and love from the pair. LXR02 is one of these offerings. Upping the tempo, Joyhauser shine a spotlight on their signature sound, delivering high-impact cosmic synth work and a meaty kick drum; attributes that have labelled them masters of their craft. The feisty Hemera sets an authoritative tone from the off, presenting a powerful synth lead and rave stabs that celebrate the sweet spot between techno’s foundational records and its modern sensibilities. These same dynamic characteristics can be found within Roam Zwei, Pulsar, Lightbringers and A Beautiful End Of The World, making them the heroes of festival season and serving as essential additions to the duo’s impeccable back catalogue.  

Woven between the album’s peak-time worthy hits are a series of ambient and crossbreed offerings that present an entirely new perspective to Joyhauser’s sound palate. The opening cut Leben welcomes the album in cinematic style, providing listeners with a deeply emotive introduction to this compelling body of work. Hints of vocal chops and an impressive synth riff enter the space, bending between old school rave and acid influences before erupting into a climactic breakbeat moment. Expanding on this alternative musical direction and showing their immense versatility in the studio, the duo treat us to another breakbeat number in Anamorphic. Cross-pollinating these percussive influences with techno-leaning synth work, world-music vocal injections and dreamy soundscapes, Joyhauser deliver a refined hybrid production that’s littered with grand apex moments. The stunning Astral Projection, gives us a moment of reflection between the bellowing techno cuts. As its name suggests, the pair provide us with serene soundscapes and high twinkling synths, introducing a warmly familiar breakbeat foundation that will leave audiences wanting more from this sound profile.

Boris Brejcha - Space X (Edit)
Fckng Serious 2023

The DJ, producer, and label founder Boris Brejcha continues to stay in the spotlight. After releasing his single "Level One" in April, the next highlight of this year is now on the horizon. Boris Brejcha finally unveils a track that many of his fans have been waiting for: “Space X“.
In addition to his studio success, things are also going well for the German producer on tour. Following a successful tour start in Germany and Mexico, the legendary Fckng Serious Bus Tour took place in North America in April, including performances at the world-famous Coachella festival. In May, there were further shows in the USA, including a performance on the main stage at EDC Las Vegas. The tour calendar is packed with shows and festivals worldwide, as well as exclusive "In Concert" shows, offering many special surprises for all guests.
Boris Brejcha’s next single "Space X" should now get fans fired up for what's to come this year. The two main elements in "Space X" are the chord progression and the melody, which combine to create the vocals. The melody part sounds like the creation of a new and untouched planet. The song gradually builds up from the beginning with a driving beat, racing percussion, a drum roll, and distortion, leading up to the big bang.
This idea of exploring a new planet is supported by the exclusive music video, which was shot on Iceland especially for this song. Boris and his crew captured breathtaking pictures that showcase the new planet. In this area, where the music video was shot, the early moon landing and the current Mars mission were already practiced.
We are very excited to share the single „Space X“ with everyone soon. Get ready and start the countdown: the musical rocket takes off on June 23rd worldwide and will be available on all streaming and download platforms.
