'From veteran producer Tom Hades comes his alias Sigvard, a project driving perfectly crafted techno in a diverse range of moods and tones. On his latest output ‘The Flowers Hundred’, an ever evolving style is nurtured through expressive use of hardware, complex structures and a focused energy. Released on Marco Bailey’s eclectic MATERIA imprint which continues to be a worldwide summit for cutting edge techno producers.

Sigvard delivers club-ready, experimental dance music that is uncovered across fifteen delicately crafted tracks with soundscapes of ambient and noise glowering above. The foundation of all tracks is married with an artists desire to create, combine and discover.

Many classical 90s electronic tropes are covered across the album; elements of trance on the spiralling ‘Attitudes’ and the hard-hitting ‘Judgement From An Idiot’, layer by layer built into an emotive and organic spectre for the ears. Pulsing and unstoppable rhythms are mixed into each track with psychedelic synth lines on ‘Rendezvous’ and ‘Preaching Eyes’ creating a disorientating and beautiful atmosphere.

The slow burner ‘Bonds Have Respect’ pays homage to Boards of Canada esque 90’s ambient, combined with a steady percussion and a glowing energy, whilst ‘Nightlife Miracles’ is a steadfast track with an unstoppable pulse and a trippy synth line. ‘The Flowers Hundred’ is a bold and passionate release celebrating Hades’ inspirations and innovations, a standout techno emblem.'

Dubfire is known across the globe for his work across a multitude of genres spanning across house, techno, progressive, trance and more, creating a one of the most exceptional careers in modern dance muisc. Some of his most remarkable work came as half of the Grammy award (2001) winning duo Deep Dish, before embarking on a truly groundbreaking solo career in 2007, Dubfire has a career filled with timeless tracks include his early works ‘Ribcage’, ‘Emissions, ‘Roadkill’ and the highly acclaimed ‘Exit’ with Kiss Kitten. Collaborative work highlights include Luke Slater, Moscoman, Oliver Huntemann, Chris Liebing, Tiga and co-producing two tracks on the legendary Underworld’s ‘Barking’ album.

This year he finally releases his debut album ‘EVOLV’. An 11-track visionary into the mind of Dubfire to be released on his long-standing label SCI+TEC. EVOLV’s concept? The journey of the ‘hybrid’ being and its evolution since its first appearance in 2015, as part of his two-year World tour following the release of his retrospective release ‘A Decade Of Dubfire’.

‘CHALLNGR 1.1’ is perhaps the most contemporary track on the album. Dubfire picks up the rhythm for a full-on dancefloor focused track. It’s no-nonsense techno at its best, with heaps of pure energy. Two versions appear on the album, ‘CHALLNGR 1.2’ retains the BPM but reigns in the percussion with a snappier approach and a more euphoric warped effect.

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.
