On September 2nd Techno mainstays Pig&Dan are set to release a special EP entitled ‘Modular Baptism (Remixes)’ via their own imprint, ELEVATE, which will soon celebrate its milestone 50th release.

This exclusive remix package features four stunning reworks of ‘Growler’ and ‘The Saint (Job San)’, the lead tracks taken from the duo’s acclaimed fourth album, ‘Modular Baptism’ which was released earlier this year. 

‘Modular Baptism’ was a record that further solidified Pig&Dan’s status as one of the most exciting Techno acts in the business, with the album claiming the #1 spot on Beatport and singles such as ‘Growler’ reaching the top spot in Beatport’s Techno chart and #2 overall.

Kicking off proceedings are two alluring reinterpretation of the duo’s aforementioned banger ‘Growler’. The first comes from Spanish DJ/producer Alberto Ruiz, who fuses the original’s deep resounding synth-riff with warped industrial sounding effects, and the second from rising London-based Brazilian-born talent Vinicius Honorio, who ventures down an even darker route with fierce distorted synths crashing against the more melodic moments of the track to great effect.

Following on are two excellent re-rubs of ‘The Saint (Job San)’. The first comes from revered NY based DJ/producer Boris, who turns the melodic masterpiece into a sharp, dark Techno roller featuring a relentless array of synth stabs. The second remix comes from French-born Geneva-based underground king Lee Van Dowski, who provides a euphoric sounding framework by bringing the original’s piano chords to the front of the mix and introducing squelching synths towards the end of the 8-minute number to further fuel the climatic finish.

‘Modular Baptism (Remixes)’ is available exclusively via Beatport on September 2nd and everywhere else two weeks later.

Feel It charges us much deeper into the night. Those moments when youve made the top floor your own and youre locked into a groove so hard the elevator cable has snapped and youre stamping into the future. Anything and everything feels possible. The bassline says march, the sassy stabs suggest you skip, the classic vocal loop has float all over it. Either way, this is Sebo K at his most beguiling and commanding and you aint ever coming down. Long may this crazy game continue

TEXT:
Hey kid, wanna see a zombie raving? Drop Bryan Kessler’s ‘Party Like You’re Not Alive’ and look in the mirror…
Not just a cute title, Cologne’s Kessler has dropped an absolute missile of an EP for his Pets debut right here. Four tracks of stone cold party denters, the lead track says it all: pure drum machine poetry, all jacking and soul-hacking, ‘Party Like You’re Not Alive’ could easily raise the dead. It’s backed by three more remarkable weapons: The brilliantly-titled ‘Cowbell Lizard’ takes us deep into the lungs of the bassbins with grainy drums and a bassline so heavy and laced with human soul you’ll swear you can hear it breathing, ‘Trance Balance’ plays percussion ricochet between your ears above a relentless groove while ‘Outsider’s Dance Rhythms’ swings with such a hefty acid house vibe, all trippy snare rolls and humanised tones, it makes us all feel like insiders… Whether we’re dead or alive.
No fat, pure lean, Bryan Kessler’s alive and kicking right here. You will be too.

Cocoon Recordings has been founded in the year 2000 as a part of the Cocoon Music Event GmbH. Sven Väth has initiated Cocoon Recordings in order to complete the Cocoon platform as a supporting tool for young artists in Electronic Music. The label philosophy is as simple as demanding: helping young producers and DJs to release their music without depending on Major Label structures. The releases can mainly be assigned to the genres Techno and House.

Cocoon Recordings as a label and Sven Väth as an artist stand for the use of vinyl as sound carrier, also in the future. Admittedly, the Digital Division of Cocoon Recordings has also been set up in 2008 and the numbers of downloads are indeed enjoyable. However, the label's focus is on vinyl, now and in the future. In order to complete the range of services that Cocoon Recordings offers, the publishing company Cocoon Publishing was founded in 2010.
