COD3 QR label showcase on George FM on 14 Oct 2025. (Auckland, New Zealand)

COD3 QR is a broad-format record label run by French techno legend Laurent Garnier and UK techno wiz Oliver Way (from Detroit Grand Pubahs). It's quite unique in that it releases almost monthly EPs each with a handful of tracks spanning different styles from future jazz to techno to electro or bass.

This model is perfect for curious, adventurous music lovers and has unearthed some amazing emerging artists for me like French artist Voltaire, and given modern icons like Kmyle and Carlos Nilmmns an outlet for their wacky sonic creations. COD3 QR is one of the best labels for discovery of new sounds and artists and well worth checking their Bandcamp - especially for their limited vinyl releases.

Tracklist:
Carlos Nilmmns - Riviera
K 'Alexi Shelby - Flame (Laurent Garnier Edit)
ProOne79 - Lysergic

Philippe Quenum returns to Cadenza Music with ‘Solitaire’, some thirteen years after helping kick start the Swiss label with the 2003 release ‘Orange Mistake’/’Funky Dandy’.  This groundbreaking single, co-produced with Luciano, has since become a landmark release, not just for the label, but also as the benchmark for the micro-house and minimal tech-house genre that developed over the decade.

With a music career than spans back to the mid-80s (dancing in NYC as part of the breakdance troupe, The Magnificent Force), Quenum found his forte with house music, both as a DJ, and as a producer and label owner.  Setting up the Access 58 label in 1998 as a platform for his music and collaborations, Quenum has consistently released over the years for labels like Crosstown Rebels, Soma, alphahouse, Thema and Trapez LTD.

‘Solitaire’ finds Quenum on fine form; on the lead track, dubby FX and bass shaking shots roll out over an urgent disco beat, muted brass and technoid stabs fire from all directions as the tension building pads flourish.  Shadowy forces are at play on ‘Mystic’; discordant sounds echo and bellow over reverberating percussion and a dense back beat that fire into life with shuffling hi-hats.  Wrapping up this welcome return to the label is ‘Mystery’; whipping snares and industrial clangs rumble over the urgent drums for more hypnotizing dancefloor work from Philippe!

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.
