Stephen Disario delivers four-tracks as the debut release on his newly-launched imprint, and in so doing sets the tone for the output we can expect in years to come: driving basslines and infectious percussion crafted with meticulous perfection. Throughout the four tracks, Disario showcases what he does so well as a producer: groovy, funky techno that will always find its home in a proper underground techno setting.

The EP starts off with "Under The Rug," an hypnotic masterpiece that sucks listeners in and takes them deeper and deeper as the track's intensity builds and reaches its peak.

"Walking Through Trees" is next, picking up the tempo with an added groove carrying the track throughout... a real dance floor mover.

The pace continues with "The Marathon," a percussion-driven stomper characterized by well-crafted peaks and valleys permeated by distorted eerie vocals.

To conclude the EP, "Lights Down Under" showcases Disario's other signature techno soundscape. Here he takes the funk route, using an 808 clap and eerie howl broken by hard to discern and yet catchy vocals to great results.

Marseille-born Hemka says “Music plays a vital role in my life. It allows me to clear my head, to express my feelings: my joys, my sorrows, my anger. All that I very often have trouble communicating in a general way.” Growing up in a musical family Hemka’s career path is not something of an odd choice, rather the opposite. Playing bass guitar as a teenager and later on experimenting with two turntables and a mixer, she understood she belonged in the club. Being a DJ and techno producer felt as much as a positive challenge as coming home. Since 2014, her talent behind the decks has allowed her to share the bill with the biggest names across Europe, Latin America and Russia, including legendary stages such as the Berghain, the Tresor or the Rex Club, as well as major festivals such as Awakenings.
Her musical career has taken off since 2017 with "The mystery of the black flamingo", which was released on Float Records. Since then, the French artist has released on many renowned labels such as Mutual Rytm, Token, Rekids, Bpitch, Symbolism, Noise Manifesto and even Skryptom with a collaboration with Ben Sims. Her compositions are fast-paced and frantic, still containing enough psychedelic and mystifying elements to sweep away the listener - which constitutes her very original production style. Ambitious and goal driven, she launched her own label called “Nerudo” in 2022, on which she has already released 2 EPs.
