Laurent Garnier's COD3 QR drops a digital EP in March featuring double whammies from Rocco Rodamaal, DCLVIII OFC and Ian O'Donovan.

With 30 years of production and DJing under his belt, Rocco Rodamaal belongs to the elite circle of House innovators who continue to influence the scene.  He's played alongside some of the best in the industry showcasing his versatility and deep understanding of the genre, and remixed artists including Marshall Jefferson, Kerri Chandler, Louie Vega & Moodymann, Todd Terry, Barbara Tucker and Robert Owens to name just a few.  Here he returns to COD3 QR to kick off the EP with the hypnotic "Summer Rising" and aptly titled "House Jam".

Anthony Godin, originally known as The White Shadow (FR), has been a veteran of music production for over two decades with releases on Suara, Still Von Talent, Kattermukke and Einmusika.  He created the DCLVIII OFC project to embody a more techno approach, with Detroit influences and a Garnier touch, adding subtle progression and melody, as he continues to push the boundaries of electronic music, with an unwavering passion for the art of sound.  A COD3 QR regular, he's back with the glittering "The Last Shadow" and deeper "Grain de sable".

Since emerging on the scene in 2010, Irishman Ian O'Donovan has forged a signature sound with emotive influences, spanning house, techno and electro.  His tracks have graced respected labels like Bedrock, KMS, Intec and Tronic.  After a prolific release schedule in 2025, Ian continues his momentum into 2026, kicking off with new music on COD3 QR in the form of "Control Freq" and "Beam Me Up".  Ian's emotive sensibilities are also brought to the DJ booth, where he delivers sets that take listeners on an immersive journey, guided by his passion for storytelling through music.

Laurent Garnier's COD3 QR goes straight to the point for a vinyl-only release this April, featuring a Kenny Dope remix of Alex Finkin & Rocco Rodamaal, plus new tracks from K' Alexi Shelby, Carlos Nilmmns and Benny Rodrigues a.k.a. ROD under his recently launched moniker, The Lost Souldancer.

From his roots in House, Alex Finkin is a renowned producer and creative director.  Working in his Paris studio he has developed numerous projects, notably his own (Roseaux), as well as commissions for radio and television.  Meanwhile, with 30 years of production and DJing under his belt, Rocco Rodamaal belongs to the elite circle of House innovators who continue to influence the scene.  He's played alongside some of the best in the industry showcasing his versatility and deep understanding of the genre, and remixed artists including Marshall Jefferson, Kerri Chandler, Louie Vega & Moodymann, Todd Terry, Barbara Tucker and Robert Owens to name just a few.  Alex Finkin befriended Rocco Rodamaal, who he met via the soulful Parisian club Djoon, where Alex was resident from 2006 to 2014.  They have since collaborated on a number of projects together, including "In Da Hood" released on COD3 QR in 2023.  Kenny Dope's "O'Gutta" remixes are a series of house and club-focused reworks characterized by raw, gritty and often stripped-back percussion, which he now brings to "In Da Hood".

Ross McMillan, known professionally as Carlos Nilmmns, is a Scottish electronic music producer, DJ and composer originally from Glasgow.  Over the years he has collaborated with a range of notable artists, including Grammy-nominated and Grammy-winning figures, including Kenny Dope, Carl Craig, Kevin Saunderson and Davina Bussey, plus respected artists like Niko Marks, Rolando, Laurent Garnier, Santiago Salazar, Hardrock Striker, Karl The Voice, Zadig, Ben Sims, Andrés (who worked with Jay Dilla and Moodymann), and YouANDme.  His music has been released on Planet E, Trax, Cocoon, Ornaments, Circus, Virgin, Skylax/Universal Music France and more.  His style draws from house, techno and jazz influences, often combining analogue and digital production methods.  A returning regular and COD3 QR favourite, he's back with another stunner in "Latin Quarter".

K' Alexi Shelby is a prominent figure in electronic music and with a career spanning decades, he's established a significant influence on House and Techno.  Throughout his career he's worked with many well-known artists and remixed tracks that are now key pieces.  The cultivation of his massive musical catalogue has overflowed into albums and the three labels he heads.  It's also led to legendary collaborations with artists such as The Pet Shop Boys, Robert Owens, Kenny Dixon, Roy Davis Jr., Maurice Joshua, Terry Hunter, Joe Smooth, Steve Silke Hurley, Tyree Cooper, Ron Trent, Glenn Underground, Larry Heard, DJ Pierre, Carl Craig, Felix da Housecat, Marshall Jefferson, Will Smith and countless others.  Already respected around the world as a true underground House legend, he delivered "Flame" in 2025 for COD3 QR.  Now he's back with "When I", another deep and sexy cut.

Benny Rodrigues a.k.a. ROD unveiled his new moniker, The Lost Souldancer when he dropped "No More Voices" for COD3 QR last year.  In his own words, Benny says: "The Lost Souldancer is about coping with the loss of what once was.  Finding comfort in the invisible rather than what can be seen.  Disconnect to connect in order to be loved rather than liked."  He continues this ethos with the delicate and melodic closing track "Life and Death".
