Rising from the underground with a signature blend of groove and drive we are very happy to welcome Turkish DJ & Producer Bedez to our Say What? family.

The title track 'Chrono Spiral' sets the pace with razor-sharp percussion, a relentless groove, and eerie modular and vocal stabs that soar through time like mechanical echoes. The track builds tension through subtle shifts and syncopated patterns, creating a sense of propulsion that perfectly captures the EP’s temporal theme.

'Groove Tides' dives deeper into rhythm, pushing rolling low-end energy under intricate hats and a warped vocal slice that ebbs and flows like a restless tide. It's a DJ tool at heart, but with enough funk and swing to catch dancers off guard – built for those marathon sets that refuse to let up.

'Mildew Funk' brings a raw texture, combining dirty synth licks with filtered chords and a pulsating bassline that oozes underground flavour. There’s a touch of mischief here — think sweaty basements, strobing lights, and hypnotic repetition layered with funk-fuelled attitude.

'Tunnel Vision' closes the EP with a sophisticated touch. A tight, evolving groove pulses through a dense tunnel of reverb and atmosphere. Mechanical textures, looped bleeps, and rolling sublayers create a trance-inducing momentum — perfect for those introspective 4 AM moments when the outside world disappears.

Enjoy

With the arrival of Oscar Sanchez, Meet Recordings proudly welcomes a newcomer who is anything but inexperienced. His debut single “Donkeyhead”, accompanied by “Forked Tongue” and “Yaco,” captures the unmistakable spirit of late-90s and early-2000s techno: raw, deep, rolling, and hardgroove-driven. It’s a sound that feels both nostalgic and fresh precisely the kind of energy today’s floors are craving.

From the first bar, “Donkeyhead” showcases Oscar’s signature touch: rugged drums, hypnotic momentum, and a timeless groove architecture that pays tribute to an era when techno was at its purest. “Forked Tongue” reinforces this direction with bold percussive tension, while “Yaco” brings a stripped yet infectious rhythm that DJs will immediately understand as peak-time material.
One thing is certain: clubs and DJs can look forward to serious, no-nonsense techno, exactly what you’d expect from an artist like Oscar.

About Oscar Sanchez:

Oscar Sanchez has been immersed in electronic music since the early 2000s. At just 16, he began honing his craft on Akiyama turntables and stacks of vinyl, practicing tirelessly in his room while recording and replaying Loca FM’s legendary “Techno Culture” program on his Walkman. These formative years shaped his deep understanding of groove, momentum, and the physicality of techno.

Throughout his journey, Oscar has shared the booth with some of Spain’s most respected names—Cristian Varela, Cristian Wünsch, Nuke, Pelacha, Raúl Parra, among many others. He has performed at emblematic venues such as Family Club and Área 42, and appeared at festivals including Oasis Summer Festival, solidifying his reputation in the central Spanish scene.

Since moving into production in 2017, Oscar has released on an impressive list of labels including Unity Records, Kneaded Pains, Dolma, Crash, Transfiguration, WRD, Vezotonic, Plastic Toys, Beats HD, Black Square, Elektrax, Xelima, Diffuse Reality, and has built strong collaborations with Kneaded Pains, MEUK, 09Recordings, The Acid Mind, Say What? and Sway. His catalogue reflects versatility, precision, and a deep connection to the roots of techno.

Conclusion

With the Donkeyhead EP, Oscar Sanchez delivers a powerful debut on Meet Recordings—a release that bridges eras, channels raw authenticity, and positions him as one of the most compelling voices in the new wave of hardgroove and deep rolling techno.
This is only the beginning, and the future looks incredibly promising.

Chris Liebing is synonymous with techno. His legacy is long assured, but his craft never stops evolving. Whether as label head, podcast curator, DJ or producer, he continues to challenge himself and his audience to explore new realms in the electronic world. And often ahead of the curve, too, from the early, hard-edged and loopy 90s sound which is back en vogue today, through his more stripped-back turn of the millennium minimalism and onto the cinematic atmospheres and broader alternative electronica of his latest albums on Mute. It's no stretch to say, then, that Chris Liebing's story is closely connected to the story of techno itself. 

Liebing is considered a global techno ambassador, but his ambitious album projects and direct club tracks excite and innovate as much as any new school star. A proudly forward-thinking attitude ensures that is the case as his DJ tools and studio setup constantly evolve. He continues to be an early adopter of emerging technology, too, just as he was with vinyl controllers, Traktor and when leading the way with full hybrid/live DJing. 

These days, Liebing incorporates an ever wider sphere of sound into his own work. After an eight-year break from full lengths, 2018's Burn Slow on Mute was a creative rebirth that received critical acclaim and confounded all expectations. It was a melancholic mediation on gothic moods, looming apocalyptic landscapes and optimistic broken-beat techno that drew from his childhood love of Depeche Mode, Gary Numan and the New Romantic movement. 

Remixes for Depeche Mode and Goldfrapp followed alongside a collaborative single with Charlotte De Witte, and 2021 brought a second album on Mute, Another Day. It found Liebing exploring all new ways of expressing both his euphoric and melodic side, all with high-grade technical skill and meticulous sonic craft with a range of collaborators from Miles Cooper Seaton to Polly Scattergood. This exceptional form continued into 2023 as he returned to the club with his Love Those Who Fight With Passion And Faith EP on CLR, a passionate and politically charged call to the dance floor that joined Liebing and Luke Slater’s remix of Depeche Mode’s iconic ‘Ghosts Again’ in the first half of the year. 

Born in Giessen and active ever since the 1990s, Liebing has always platformed the talent around him as much as himself: a long time before they were commonplace, he famously helmed his own CLR podcast. For many years, it was the scene's most influential series, with a who's who of international pioneers at the helm. After that came the equally important AM/FM radio show, but now following a hiatus, the CLR podcast is back and pushing a fresh techno agenda, as is his iconic label of the same name.

In its first chapter, CLR stood for Chris Liebing Records, then Create Learn Realize, and now Create Learn Repeat - a subtle evolution that is at the heart of everything Liebing does. The label will always be synonymous with exciting techno and is now back hosting parties and festival stages. 

Though his music is underpinned by pulsating menace and a stomping sense of drama, Liebing himself is friendly with a famous smile. It is the music that motivates him and the freedom that comes with increased experience. These days there are no limits, no expectations, but a continued love for the art and craft of techno that is taking him down all new creative pathways.
