GC001 sees label boss Kortzer put out the inaugural Gritty City release.

The first release is a 4 track orignal EP titled Bryn y Cwm, an ode to Kortzer's late Grandfather Brynley. The ep combines hard 4/4 ravey techno with broken industrial sounds.

Based in the city from the age of 18 Manchester has shaped and influenced the sound Kortzer has developed over the years. First starting out at former venue R-Base moving on to joining the Loose Lips crew cutting teeth at institutions such as Eastern Bloc Records & The White Hotel.

 The aim of Gritty City is to showcase some of the finest emerging artists and unsung hero's who are from or based in the city. Manchester is a melting pot of people, sounds and culture with a thriving techno community that is at its heart for so many which Gritty City strives to represent.

KORŦZER - FURNACE

Richard Easel has been setting his modular system up for couples of years. Each module does not only represent the treasure hunt of finding mechanisms whose production might be discontinued nowadays, but also the deep reflection of the precise sound and characters Richard searches to have available on his instrument. 

The artist masters the varieties and opportunities each module allows him and through the patching of multiple modules he creates unique soundscapes that exist in reality only through his manipulation. 

Proposing an hypnotic techno music journey we have been carried through the technicality and variety of the deepest synths, the fluid bass lines and the unexpected turns that kept a remarcable drive on this live set.

You really want to to see Richard patching his modular synth with your own eyes

Par le biais de ses productions, REALSENSE crée un lien de communication stellaire; une danse mentale et progressive, des sonorités envoûtantes et des rythmes conçus pour l'aube, qui trouvent inévitablement un terrain d'entente avec le peak time du club.

Se consacrant à sa scène locale de La Rochelle et récemment Lyon, il a passé la majeure partie des dernières années à répondre ponctuellement à des appels nationaux et internationaux. Ce périple n'a fait que renforcer sa production artistique ; en inaugurant en 2023 un projet ambitieux en self-release, il libère des atmosphères quasi-cosmiques sur son dernier EP «Against The Current» et met en avant ainsi son rythme venu d’ailleurs, devenu si caractéristique.

Enjoy fam !

Bunny The Bug @Bubble - Pristina 27.01.2025

Olban Llapaj (Bunny The Bug) is an electronic artist born in Tirana, Albania.

Passion for music is his drive. Hes widely considered as one Albania's rising talents as a passionate digger and has multicultural backgrounds.

Deeply influenced by UK club culture and all forms of bass-heaviness, his sets hop around the different sub-genres of the electronic spectrum. He delivers driving grooves, old school flavoured breaks and a healthy dose of acid lines in the most unpredictable way.

Being also a huge Hip-Hop fan and a sucker for dope beats, Bunny can be found spinnin' more chilled sets away from the ordinary with minimal vibes.

Founder of Bodrumi and head of a collective that has no limits (literally) everything is expected as an open genre label and event organisers. From travelling Bunny got alot of cultural insights of electronic life in the world so he adapted a special sound.
