Vor meinem geistigen Auge tanzen die Druffis zu diesem Part im Staub der Фузион in der ersten Morgendämmerung die Sonne hoch... Herrlich.

During peak pandemic days in 2020, there was a sizeable exodus from Australia's locked down major cities towards the free open and creative promised lands of Byron Bay. Among the species trekking North was a curious one that no-one had ever seen before.   

Then one late Saturday night in the hinterlands of tha Bay, this unique prowess was spotted occasionally popping up at house parties in the area. Fortune had it that one of our Reckless Republic A&R scouts spotted this nocturnal life form setting up an impressive habitat for its performance. Including a Moog sub37, an Elektron machine drum, a Prophet 6 synthesiser, a Roland TR8S, an Akai APC40, an electric guitar and last but not least a saxophone. As we watched on with amazement anticipating seeing a group of these rare creatures, it soon became clear that only one of them was to appear, it was a one-of-a-kind 24 y/o male, his name, Quackers.    

Like the Cosmic Dingo itself (title of track 3), since those fateful days in Byron Shire, Quackers has been seen snacking on a good dose of groovy house  sounds, occasionally whirling into techno and beyond; raw, groovy, dreamy, swampy, glitchy with overlays of organic instrumentation, this EP has it all. 

A few months later, a visit to the Reckless Republic HQ in Paddington, Sydney to perform his jaw-dropping live show for the Burning Man MultiVerse worldwide stream followed by some intense sessions in 'the Planettarium' studio meant that finally we could expose this rare breed of talent to the world.  

Ladies & gents 
Welcome to Tales of the Mind, the first artist EP from Quackers.

Bassick EP

Exon Bacon & DkA - Bassick (Andreas Henneberg Remix)

Roam Recordings has enlisted Galen and Shiny Objects, two heavyweights of San Francisco’s dance music scene, for a collaborative release that lives up to their storied reputations – the bright and techy “Purest Sound“, backed with the equally formidable “Sunday Freeze“.

Galen started out by setting up speakers and a generator at a park in Berkeley every Sunday, and soon hundreds of people were dancing while watching the sun set behind the San Francisco skyline. Now he’s behind the Sunset Sound System with its world-renowned outdoor events, boat parties, and annual Sunset Campout Festival. Shiny Objects is Christopher Smith, the founder of Om Records and the producer of of over one hundred tracks and remixes under various aliases. Smith is also a core member of the Burning Man camp Disco Knights and a proprietor of Monarch, one of the Bay Area’s most respected nightspots.

The release certainly exudes a current San Francisco style: tech’ed out but still playful, and fitting firmly within Roam’s party vibes aesthetic. “Purest Sound” gives the dance floor all it’s got, with a beefy bass line, chiming percussion, and ominous spoken vocals over a compulsive rhythm. This one builds nicely into late night bliss mode. “Sunday Freeze” qualifies for ‘double A-side’, as it’s a production that’s just as potent and compelling. With a little more dub in its bones, the track moves in constant motion as echoey synths, thumping kicks, and a rumbling low end steer the course. The extended breakdown at the half-way mark succeeds in delivering after-hours power.

Mark Farina – “I dig it.”
Gemini Brothers (Skint / Nein) – “Great summer hits … lovely!”
Larry Tee – “Hot one!”
DJ Harri (Sub Club / Subculture) – “I’m liking the old school Murk feel on these.”
Vanilla Ace – “Cool tracks.”
Severino (Horse Meat Disco) – “Yes … I’m into it!”
Atish (Desert Hearts / Robot Heart) – “‘Sunday Freeze’ is punchy, deep, and playful.”
Da Funk (Acryl Music / Pacha) – “‘Purest Sound’ here for me … nice!”
Al Bradley (3am Recordings) – “A truly exceptional release … both cuts are just so good. ‘Sunday Freeze’ with its gradual build through the track just shaded it for me. Amazing sounds.”
Bachelors Of Science (Code Recordings / Dirtybird) – “‘Purest Sound’ … what a monster earworm! Smashed it.”
DJ Firefly (Couch Dancing Radio Show) – “I love both of these. Funky and spacey with catchy vocal samples … just perfect!”
Jean Jérome (Radio FG / Kut ‘N’ Paste) – “Huge beat and nice groove … perfect for my sets.”
Tariq Ziyad (Nu Urban ERA) – “I love this. It’s like John Carpenter making spaced out, dubby house.”

Vanita - Rescue

Andreas Henneberg has made a fine name for himself as a DJ, label manager and producer of great repute, with a sonic fingerprint that is easily recognisable yet hard to define. Since starting out in the 90s, he has put his name to over 140 releases that operate somewhere between Techno, House and Minimal and always explore unfamiliar sounds in unique new ways.

As well as being the founder of his own label Voltage Musique (with friends Daniel Nitsch, Marquez Ill and Stefan Schuldt) which turns ten years old this year, Henneberg has also made himself at home on influential imprints like Ideal Audio, Confused Recordings, Herzblut and AREAL and is a key part of the Plantage13 family. He doesn’t only produce under his given name, though, but also explores a number of other styles of music as The Glitz (with close friend Mr. Daniel Nitsch), Cascandy and Hennon. Whatever he puts his name to, though, you can be assured that it comes from a place of deep understanding and appreciation that too few producers have in the modern age.

Given the amount of music Andreas has produced over the years, it’s no surprise he is also an in demand ghost-writer for many established artists, helping them to realise their ideas and putting to good use his year’s of priceless studio know how.

As well as all this, the Berliner is also a respected mastering-engineer and DJs on a regular basis at clubs all over the world, spinning knowing blends of House and Techno that not only make you dance, but also make you think. It all started for him at seminal clubs like Tresor and at the very first Berghain/Panoramabar, so his sense of history and class as a DJ is unri- valled, with his sets never failing to leave lasting marks on those that hear them.
