Insomnia 2021

Insomnia 2021 (Epic Mix)

Sometimes people give you the best present without even realising.

While on lockdown Daddy duties, Michel De Hey's daughter had a friend come to play. It gave him that elusive golden studio moment where he could finish an idea he'd been working on, but hadn't found the time to take it over the line. That friend's name was Nova.

'Nova Was Here' pays homage to that classic foundation house sound as Michel puts his Roland SH101 through its paces. A purring bassline, soft focus jacking beats and lavish springy keys.

Long-time friend and kindred spirit, Spectrum founder Joris Voorn agreed and sealed the deal with a much heavier, pulsating 3am twist on the rework. Michel calls it a 'slapintheface' remix and enjoyed every moment of the two weeks he could play it to real life dancefloors until clubs shut back down in The Netherlands. Another stunner from the label boss and a mix that can finally be unveiled for all to enjoy.

Rose is back with a new single on his imprint Closed Eyes Recordings. This time capturing the soul of the recently closed nightclub: “The Marktkantine” in Amsterdam. The track is a combination of the typical electronic characteristics the club became famous for; it has the disco-ish/Italo vibe, as well as a deep electronic trance-influenced beat and breakdown. Hands in the air are guaranteed with this one.

Out now on Ellum: lnk.to/ELL063

Maceo Plex is back on his own Ellum Audio with huge statement single ‘Nu World’.

Maceo Plex has fomented his own singular sound in the last few years. His unique brand of techno has always been melodic, adventurous, and epic - the sort of sounds that can unite the vast crowds he plays to all over the world. He has nurtured artists with similar mindsets on his label but now takes the reins himself and is in typically fine form.

The excellent ‘Nu World’ is a rousing single that will sweep anyone off their feet. The strident drums, the big vocal cries and the emotional synths all add up to a mesmerising, hands in the air anthem that will appeal to electronic music lovers across the board. Add in the rugged bass and smart synth effects and the results are truly irresistible.

This is another landmark track from the ever impressive Maceo Plex with all proceeds from this release going to ACLU to fight voter suppression.

Why we exist 
Closed Eyes Recordings delivers stories through sound. With these stories, we want to create an impactful experience for our listeners. We believe meaningful stories help you guide you through the highs and lows in life. Stories like this are the most valuable for us in a piece of music. It’s this music that makes you close your eyes and experience the most beautiful thing in life: being.

What we aim for
Closed Eyes Recordings releases only those records resonate with your deeper feelings. We aim to release an artist’s most personal work; music that has a deeply special meaning for them. This could be a passed away loved one, an exciting memory of their youth or any other meaningful feeling or thought they get when listening to their work.

In our vision, the only valuable criticism stems from the feeling a record evokes among its listeners. Those who try to single-handedly evaluate music by rationally overanalysing it, miss the purpose of music itself: extricate emotions.

What we look for
The sound should never be perfect because life isn’t perfect itself. 
We love raw, vintage and imperfect sounds, and yes we are suckers for the melody. Unexpectedness is key within our sound and we prefer simplicity over complexity. Music is a feeling, not an equation.
