More than one year after his EPs on Speicher and These Eyes Marc Romboy finally returns with a brand new release on his very own Systematic imprint. On the a-side Romboy presents us „Empathy“, a charming and groovy track with Romboy-alike deep warm bass figures and the sound of a rare and vintage „Blüthner” piano which improves that electronic and natural elements may fit together perfectly.

The flip side „Blüthner“ comes along like a trippy sound spiral between experimental piano sounds which are more like percussion effects and the constant arpeggiator sequence which floats through the punching beats. A very distinctive but typical Romboy two-tracker which sounds pretty much unheard!

And by the way, this vinyl release is the beginning of the return to the legendary classical Systematic graphic design.

Hello Soulful Techno lovers I am UK based artist Michael Walken.

I first started getting into the minimal techno and electro from places like Germany properly around 2004/2005 I believe, Gabriel Ananda was incidentally one of the very first artists I remember really loving the sound of. I believe Ihre Personliche Glucksmelodie was one of the first I heard. I had been moving through genres of dance music since being around 11 after hearing The Prodigy. But when I first heard Gabriel and this blend of minimalist techno and electro I immediately loved the playful hooks and upbeat melodies and electronic sounds. The techno I had heard before was mainly through big bands such as Underworld and The Prodigy but really got excited by this fresh upbeat melodic european sound.

So getting speaking to Gabriel last year, being one of my favourite and first techno artists I heard was very exciting. Gabriel liked the first track I sent, which spurred me on too make more. Firstly I had a middle eastern riff that I jammed which went on to be Peace In The Middle East. Definitely my finest solo work to date. I am no Bob Dylan but I always loved the protest song so Peace In The Middle East really just became a subtle protest song I suppose. I think it has drama and beauty, and the silence and undisturbed music that peace can bring in the interlude in the main breakdown.

The second track Peace Agreement leads on from Peace In The Middle East. Imagining there has been a long standing Peace Agreement which sticks. I was lucky enough and completely bowled over when Gabriel said he would collaborate on this track. I have had some great feedback in the past from some big names such as Hernan Cattaneo, SLAM, Orbital, BIllie Ray Martin but being able too actually throw ideas round and collaborate on the same track as someone of Gabriels calibre and a favourite artist of mine was a dream come true! This led to it being much deeper and warmer in its ambience with a much better structure and a track I will be immensely proud of.

Lastly I already had a very dreamy electronica folky track that I remixed for a friend J.Perkins which Gabriel liked the vibe of immediately. And in corona times I think some warm optimism like this would be welcome. I think it leads on nicely on the ep, starting with drama imagining peace and by the end in a warm daydream in an almost perfect world.

Thanks Gabriel and Soulful Techno for giving me the chance to showcase myself. I hope people enjoy!

Michael Walken - Peace In The Middle East

A gem from the vaults reworked superbly by two of the hottest names in clubland, Jimmy Van M and Sabb.

Two mixes to choose from, the 3AM Remix is a melodic chunky gem that beautifully builds as warm pads raise the temperature and tease with with melodics from the original and some clever FX cutting up, making this a serious dance floor moment. Hot!

The second version is the 7AM Remix which sounds like its been made specifically for John Digweed to close his sets and send the dance floor in to a complete frenzy. Epic is a good word to describe this monster remix...

There are also further remixes coming from the winner and runners up of the Burn Residency remix competition which will be available for free download as well as the original Digweed & Muir versions and Henry Saiz remixes.

We really don't need to say much more, we'll just let the music do the talking.

'The Heist' EP - Out Now on Beatport lnk.to/heist-ep

Two weeks after unveiling the first Dhillon material  in over two years, Jeremy Olander wastes no time releasing his next project on his recently birthed Vivrant imprint under his enigmatic Techno alias. 

Following up on the surprise release of Beatport #1 in the ‘Intro’ EP, ’The Heist’ EP is made up of what inveterate fans are likely to call bonafide Dhillon classics; hard-hitting belter ‘Vivrants’, hypnotic slow-burner ‘The Heist’ and ominous ’Bullies’.  With a sonic showcase of vintage Dhillon sounds that have been staple pieces in the Swede’s sets for years, he proves that quality dance music has no expiry date.

Undeniably drawing inspiration from his homeland’s esteemed Techno heritage that has fostered names like Cari Lekebusch, Joel Mull and Adam Beyer, Dhillon reps a loop-oriented, powerful and sporadically melodious style of Techno and proves that Olander masters dark grooves just as proficiently as melancholically charged Progressive melodies.
