Blackhall & Bookless @ Space Ibiza Discoteca - Closing 2015

The 'Links' EP is an incredibly deep and intricate record, one that explores the different aspects of the duo's techno range. With support already coming from nearly all the DJs who've played the night, we're now thrilled to present Don Williams' remix of the title-track.

Williams takes the chopping synths from the original and lays them on top of a steady and rolling 4/4 beat. As the track evolves the pads become more erratic and expose a darker edge, which naturally we love. It's an emotion-laced edit and another jewell in Jaunt's already shining crown.

Premiere: A2 - Blackhall & Bookless - Links (Bleak Remix)

Jaunt is a beacon for house and techno in Newcastle. It's also a clubbing institution currently celebrating a landmark 10 years in the game. Thanks to them, Newcastle has had some it's most memorable nights; Omar S, Dixon, Marcel Dettmann, Kerri Chandler and countless other global icons have all walked through the Jaunt doors. At it's helm are duo Blackhall & Bookless. As DJs and producers, the childhood friends have become just as esteemed as the Jaunt name they front, offering releases on Tough Luck, Vitalik and their own label.

Now London-based, they did us the honour of opening the Sputnik Dome on Friday night at FM2017. Delving into the tougher edges of their record bags, they have delivered a serious dose of euphoric techno, 4/4 inspirations from the motor city and a hefty kick to transport us back to their set from the FM field.

Jaunt celebrates a decade in the game this year, with the British clubbing institution marking the milestone in typically esteemed fashion. 10 Years of Jaunt - Sea, Land, Air is a 12 track V/A compilation spread across three distinct vinyl discs, each of which is based around some of the world's core elements; themselves a mode of transport or a manner to embark on a 'jaunt'. Each featured artist is somebody who the label has forged a connection with at some stage during their ten year journey - and each track has been titled to the artist's own interpretation of a 'jaunt'. The tracklisting itself has been tailor made to build and develop like their a Jaunt event, with deep, hypnotic, up tempo strands included alongside numerous surprises along the way.

Blackhall & Bookless b2b Chad - 08/12/17 - Ben Klock Warm up (10 years of Jaunt Finale)

Chris Blackhall and Chris Bookless are two DJs and producers hailing from the UK. They’ve been extremely tight-knit for a number of years: they DJ together as Blackhall & Bookless, and both run one of the country’s best house and techno parties, Jaunt. Since launching in Newcastle over a decade ago they’ve now got their own Jaunt Records imprint, the main place you’ll hear their taste for deep house and techno aside from watching them play together. We’ve got the chance to witness this first hand this summer, as they’re joining us in Serbia for Exit Festival and at our upcoming launch party on 26th May. This week they sent us an all-new mix ahead of the dates, describing the recording in their own words as “a soulful journey through different fields of techno. Our reflection of Room Two.”

Following on from Daniela La Luz's brilliant live set for our last edition, the twelfth podcast in our series is also a live recording – this one capturing a very special night for UK techno and house mavens Blackhall & Bookless. 

Originally from Newcastle, now based in London, and regularly blowing up spots on the road all over the world with their aptly named Jaunt parties, this pair of lifelong friends turned DJ and production partners have seen their star steadily rise the real way, over the long haul. The Jaunt name and vibe has now crystallised into a label with B&B's own work alongside releases and remixes from peers like Fred P., Virginia, Hiver and Luke Hess.

This live mix was recorded last November at Zouk in Singapore, where B&B opened for none other than Jeff Mills. The duo's clear mastery of the special art of warming up for a legend – especially one with such a famously energetic style – makes for a perfect podcast experience. This set's precision dynamics, lush atmosphere and slowly building intensity, over 80 minutes of pulsating techno styles ranging from minimal to leftfield to four-to-the-floor, come into their own here, demanding fascinated repeat listens.

A1. Blackhall & Bookless - Spirit (Inland Remix)
A2. Hiver - Itria (Jonas Kopp Remix)
B1. Kaelan - Meandering Rivers (Jasper Wolff & Maarten Mittendorff Remix)
B2. Stojche - The Exchange (Gian’s Hydrocity Refix)

Newcastle via London label Jaunt Records revisits its 10 year anniversary EP from 2017 with a series of great remixes by Inland, Jonas Kopp, Jasper Wolff & Maarten Mittendorff and Gian. This is the first of two EPs planned, and it offers up a timeless mix of heady techno and slick electro. 
Berlin based Brit Inland tackles Jaunt resident Blackhall & Bookless’s ‘Spirit’ and serves up a heavyweight wedge of warehouse techno. On the same side, Jonas Kopp flips ‘Itria’ into a sci­fi tinged bit of dub techno and long time studio partners Jasper Wolff & Maarten Mittendorff from Indigo Aera offer widescreen synth work and blissed out pads all tethered to rolling and rubbery drums. Gian’s take on Stojche’s track is a fantastically crisp and futurist piece of electro that will get anyone on their toes.
