We hit the jackpot with lucky number seven… seven killer new tracks on [QR]D.115.TLN.25 by returning players Carlos Nilmmns, Jules Wells & DCLVIII OFC, Jay Robinson, Alex Mendes and Onur Ozman, alongside new participants ProOne79 and Trecci.

Carlos Nilmmns has become synonymous with an eclectic but often deep and sensual sound influenced by the traditions of Chicago and Detroit. In the past, he's released on some of the best-of-breed labels in the world including Circus Company, Cocoon, Ornaments, KMS, Planet E and Dopewax. Don't sleep on his Jazz-infused opener "Moon Dance".

Italian based producer Gioele Cantoni a.k.a. ProOne79 lives for dance music. Like Carlos he's influenced by the sounds of Chicago and Detroit and has been crafting high-powered and catchy Techno and House for labels including Nervous, Circus Recordings, Kneaded Pains, Flashmob Records, This Ain't Bristol, WRKTRX and many more. Now he delivers the seriously funky groove of "Lysergic" to the label.

influenced by the Motor City, Jules Wells has released on several respected Detroit-based labels like Electrofunk, Submerge, Twilight 76, KMS and Planet E, but also on the likes of Brique Rouge (France), Purebox (Japan) and Logos (Macedonia). Most notably his track "Song4Clara" on KMS, which inspired Laurent Garnier's "Enchanté". Meanwhile, Anthony Godin a.k.a. DCLVIII OFC has been a veteran of music production for over two decades, with more than 25 years of mixing experience. As The White Shadow he released on Suara, Still Von Talent, Kattermukke and Einmusika. His DCLVIII OFC moniker embodies a more Techno approach, with subtle progression and a melodic touch. Together they deliver the epic and atmospheric, "Heritage".

Trecci is a French DJ, electronic music producer and manager of both Naeba Records and Ontake Records. While a lot of his releases are on his own Naeba Records, he has also featured on international labels including Brique Rouge, Soiree, RF, Biotech, UKR Special Series, Nice & Nasty, Deep Gruv, Hautboxx, Slates Records and many more. His track "Manly Whatnots" sends the release into deeper and moodier territory.

Having been in the music scene for a decade, Jay Robinson's mix of House, Techno and Bass music has found support from all corners of the industry. His Mau5trap releases and collaborations with Idris Elba, Example and Grammy award winning Todd Edwards have all added to what has been a great few years for the Welsh wizard. Here he delivers some slammin' House with "Stroker".

Passionate about music of all genres but particularly drawn to electronic music, Alex Mendes feels equally at home in the studio and on stage, where he excels in the art of extended DJ sets. When it comes to production, Alex gravitates towards music driven by synthesizers and drums, always drawn from his own imagination, allowing him to tell a story in each of his tracks and "Terceiro Orbito" is no exception.

Onur Ozman is one of the more remarkable names in Deep House. Artist and professional architect, he combines both disciplines in his precise productions; sound design to the smallest details. Now based in Zurich, Onur started his career as a prominent member of Istanbul's House scene. His talent has led him to release on labels like Sum Over Histories, Isolate, Yoshitoshi, Hottrax, Rebirth, Noir Music and Kwench. He closes [QR]D.115.TLN.25 with the dappled "Flash Back" to complete another eclectic COD3 QR release.

Track Listing:
A1. K' Alexi Shelby - Flame (Original Mix)
A2. Marc Bedikian - Qui Peut Le Plus
B1. DJ Bone - D.D
B2. Squal G - Parallel Sound

Luckily, we still have music… Laurent Garnier's COD3 QR returns in May with a stellar four-track vinyl release featuring U.S. luminaries, K' Alexi Shelby and DJ Bone, alongside French wizard Marc Bedikian and one of COD3 QR's star players, Squal G.

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, it will be cemented further on listening to his deep and sexy opener "Flame".

A geek at heart with a passion for music, Marc has forged his sound universe over the decades. He grew up listening to the melodies of Prince, before being drawn into the Hip-Hop culture of the '90s. At the dawn of the 2000s, he plunged into the bubbling world of electronic music, a revelation that marked a decisive turning point in his career. From Detroit Techno to Richie Hawtin's experimentation, Josh Wink's raw energy, Gary Beck's power, James Holden's finesse and Laurent Garnier's eclecticism, his influences are many and shape his musical identity. With "Qui Peut Le Plus", he pays homage to these influences, blending hypnotic rhythms, deep textures and characteristic rises in tension. His approach both in the studio and behind the decks is a perpetual quest: to thrill, surprise and convey the raw emotion of electronic music.

The flip-side is headed by Detroit legend, DJ Bone. It's no accident that those two letters always precede Bone's name, because first and foremost he is a DJ - in the truest sense. When he spins, it's as if the turntables and the mixer become a physical extension of his body. From his standing room only residency performances to after-hours spots, he rocks every show as if it's his last. DJ Bone spins as much for his own enjoyment as he does for the audience. His dedication to the art of dance music and DJing is untainted and intense. No hype or trends, just a relentless drive and passion, which he's also brought to his productions over the years, most notably on his own labels Subject Detroit and Further, but now also on COD3 QR with the peak-time Detroit Techno of "D.D" .

Producer and manager of Slates Records, Squal G is a French artist who has been passionate about electronic music since the '90s. Initially he practised his art as a DJ, but a few years later finally turned to machines and computers. This enabled him to progress with his production and remixes. He never tries to stick to a single style, which, depending on his inspiration, can lead him to be more or less hard, while remaining in the spirit of techno. Having delivered "Waiting 4U" last year and "Face" in January, he's back for round three, with closing track "Parallel Sound".

To accompany his track, "Parallel Sound" on the vinyl is the retro metallic and driving Techno of "Life Reaction" on the digital.

[QR]V.143.LWSHM.25 - Digital Version Previews

After a number of acclaimed tracks and EPs, the southern newcomer on the French electronic scene is releasing his first album on COD3 QR, Laurent Garnier's label. A full-length album on which the producer establishes himself as the newcomer to watch in a techno revival.

The rise to fame has been a gradual one for the producer from the south of France, and the release of "Echoes" could well have a resounding impact on the French electronic music scene, which is beginning to take on a new lease of life. Passionate musician, head on shoulders and sharp ear, Voltaire has prepared the release of this long format with COD3 QR well. After several EPs and appearances on the label's famous compilations since 2021, plus a remix in 2023 of Laurent Garnier's "Tales From The Real World" that allowed a glimpse at his potential, "Echoes" now allows full appreciation of all of this musician's qualities.

The gradual disappearance of the album format versus the digital single has not dampened the determination of this artist and the label to impose a singular artistic vision on an LP: "After having produced a number of tracks, I was absolutely determined to create a story with all the pieces on this album", assures Voltaire. "I wanted to compose something that I don't hear anymore in today's music, something different from dancefloor techno. Echoes fully crystallises this desire."

The emotional eclecticism of this album comes as no surprise to listeners who have followed Voltaire's previous releases. "Since I started out, I've produced house, techno and electro tracks... this eclecticism is part of my personality as a musician. I love all facets of electronic music and I want to remain open to all influences."

"Echoes" features lush, lysergic techno (the phenomenal "Detune", "Echoes", "Human" and "Unity", reminiscent of Border Community), liberating forays into IDM ("Connection Lost", "I’ll See You Again", "Singular Pursuit", whose dreamy melody will inevitably bring Plaid to mind), catchy electro-techno (the aptly named "Dance!", "Wave Function", a model of mental techno), raw dancefloor accents and even a symphonic anthem to conclude (the luminous "Voltaire").

Through this frenzied eclecticism, Voltaire intends to put his signature: "the link between all the songs of the album is the precision of the rhythms, the choice of melodies, the metallic sound of cymbals…". Nourished by the electro of origins (Kraftwerk, Juan Atkins' Detroit, Robert Hood or Dopplereffekt) and the profusion of electro from the 2000s and 2010s, Voltaire is under the influence of an extremely productive retro-mania. With "Echoes", he offers a brilliant synthesis, in the precious setting of an irreproachable production.

Laurent Garnier "Reviens La Nuit"

Laurent Garnier "Liebe Grüße Aus Cucuron"

Laurent Garnier "Let The People Faire La Fête"

Laurent Garnier "In Your Phase [Feat. 22Carbone]"

‘33T.E.P.S.V. Remixes’ including mixes from Avision, Voltaire, Works Of Intent, Rocco Rodamaal, Reshit, 22Carbone and The Limiñanas, with six coming on wax and four as exclusive digital bonuses.

The release will be out on vinyl & digital on COD 3 QR on the 29th of September.

This summer, Laurent Garnier announced the launch of his latest landmark album. The newest LP showed why he is such a vital force with a series of cuts, distilling his 30+ year career experiences into cutting-edge electronic music full of tension and release.  Now he continues to prove he operates at the vanguard with this
exemplary assembly of remixers.

UK techno mainstay Works Of Intent, fka R.O.S.H., opens up with his Farewell remix of 'Reviens La Nuit', a dark, pulsing techno sound with widescreen cosmic chords and unsettling modulations. Romantic techno
master Voltaire then flips 'Tales From The Real World' into a scintillant melodic excursion with arps cascading down the face of the track and fizzing synths lighting up the electro beats.
Next is 22Carbone, who are featured on the original album but here remix 'In Your Phase' into a grimy, broken beat with tough bars and twisted metal textures next to the menacing mic work. Rocco Rodamaal has 30 years of experience and is one of few veterans that remains genuinely relevant today. He offers two versions of 'Liebe Grüße aus Cucuron' - a smooth and deep elongated techno trip and a fizzing Keys Mix doused in melodic charm.
New York's new wave techno star Anthony Cardinale aka Avision, lights up his remix of 'Le Swing Du Pouletto' with radiant and optimistic synths and a dark, brooding low end.   Later he brings plenty of marching
menace and pent-up synth tension to his rework of 'Liebe Grüße aus Cucuron'.   Reshit's take on 'On the Record' offers a dreamy ambient soundscape with downtempo breaks and expansive prog-rock style synths.
The Limiñanas are Lionel and Marie Limiñana - a pair based in the deep south of France who record garage, psych and pop music and have previously paired up with Garnier on the successful album ”De Pelicula”.
They offer a long and short remix of 'Saturn Drive', which in their hands is a dirty post-punk gem with raw drums and sleazy guitars creating walls of reverberating sound.

This sophisticated selection of techno remixes brings all-new emotions and moments of dance floor brilliance
to Laurent Garnier's superb originals.

Following June's "[QR]V.172.TAM.24", featuring tracks by Avision, DJ Deep and Deetron, Laurent Garnier's COD3 QR label is back with another vinyl-only release.

Skatman, the Berlin based, Tunisian born DJ, producer and label head of Cognitive Prophecy follows up his huge COD3 QR track "Tribute to a Dancefloor" with the deep, groovy and aptly titled "Transcending House".  He has already gained recognition for his approach to electronic music, bridging the gap between classic and contemporary with tracks on Innervisions and Correspondent, becoming one of the most intriguing and captivating artists.

Jules Wells who delivered the infectious "The Clap" on COD3 QR 016 is back with the retro House sound of "Dreamer".  Jules Wells is from Bordeaux, France.  Strongly influenced by the Motor City, Jules has released on the likes of Submerge, Twilight 76, KMS, Planet E, Brique Rouge and Logos (Macedonia).

Works Of Intent, a core member of the UK South Asian collective DAYTIMERS and Emotional Weaponry label owner, has recently released an acclaimed guest mix for the legendary John Digweed's Transitions radio show.  Known for his ability to blend emotive storytelling with rhythmic precision, he follows up his "Richer Sound" album (released last year on the label) with the intricate and uncompromising "Subversive".

Producer and manager of the Slates Records label, Squal G is a French artist who has been passionate about electronic music since the early '90s.  Initially, he practised his art as a DJ before turning to machines and computers as he progressed with production.  Never sticking to a single style, instead, allowing inspiration to lead him, he nevertheless remains in the Techno spirit, as heard on "Waiting 4U".

A multi-faceted composer and DJ, Yann Lean also works as a sound engineer for himself and other artists.  Whether working as a duo with Madben and their side project Trunkline or as a solo artist, he has won the trust and support of prestigious labels such as KMS, Bedrock, Planet Rhythm, Skryptom and Materia, as well as COD3 QR who released "Hope" in 2020.  Now he's back with tribal drums on "To Get Close".

French born, Mexican resident Joaquim Plossu has been making music as a producer, multi-instrumentalist and sound designer for the past 20 years with releases on COD3 QR, 31 Recordings, Fokuz, Repertoire, Deep Heads, Planet Rhythm and more.  Both music composer and producer for TV and films, as well as Drum & Bass producer in his spare time, he teams up again with Leeds (UK) based Salem Focus (Fokuz Records / Soulvent / Galacy) for some energetic D&B on closing track "Cosmic".

A1- Skatman - Transcending House - preview

Laurent Garnier's COD3 QR presents the magnificent seven on the latest digital release, "[QR]D.320.MFS.24", which features exclusive tracks by both label regulars and new signings: Alex Rothschild, Loloman, Costello, Manuel-M, Carlos Nilmmns, Jim Rivers and Onur Ozman.

Alex Rothschild aka Coco Basel is a producer and DJ whose musical journey was shaped by a decade in New York. During this time, he was deeply influenced by house music legends such as Todd Terry, Terry Hunter, Frankie Knuckles, David Morales, and Louie Vega. Now he's gravitating towards minimalist electronic music, like "Cosmorak", enriched with groovy basslines, while retaining the New York and Detroit essences that have defined his style.

Loloman is a leading French producer creating music without adhering to conventional rules, blending styles, synthesizing sounds, and unveiling a unique and diverse musical world filled with strong emotions and a groove that aims for universality, inspired by his extensive experience on the dancefloor. He has previously released tracks on the likes of MB Elektroniks, Brique Rouge, Metrohm, and here with his latest for Cod3 QR, "The Wall”.

Costello is a versatile French electronic music producer, artist, and DJ known for his cutting-edge sound and technical prowess. With a rich discography that traverses techno, disco and beyond, Costello has carved out a niche as a genre-defying act which he brings to new track "Dream Operator". His standout tracks have previously captured the attention of underground stalwarts like Boys Noize, Solomon for releases on their labels. And of course Laurent Garnier.

A discreet yet respected artist on the scene, Manuel-M has been working passionately behind his machines since 2008. He remains attached to an old-school vision, marked by the pioneers of techno, while incorporating his style through contemporary sound design as displayed on his track "Take". His major influences, notably Technasia, Vince Watson and Ken Ishii, are reflected in his compositions, which are both eclectic and deeply rooted in the music's heritage. Manuel navigates between genres, with releases on other renowned labels such as Tronic and Brique Rouge.

Ross McMillan aka Carlos Nilmmns is a UK producer, originally from Glasgow (Scotland) but now living in Angers (France), whose name has become synonymous with an eclectic but often deep and sensual sound. In the past, he's released on some of the world's best-of-breed labels including Circus Company, Cocoon, Ornaments, KMS, Planet E and Dopewax. Here he delivers the jazz-infused beauty, "Just Another Day".

Returning to the studio after several years hiatus, Jim Rivers aka Copy Paste Soul has picked up where he left off. With previous releases on Bedrock, Global Underground, Renaissance and an album on Carl Cox's Intec label, Jim's back catalogue is awash with variety, made with a depth and warmth few can match. After finding time to immerse himself back into the studio, the past few months have been a hive of activity, culminating in a string of new productions for Poker Flat, Traum and here on COD3 QR with the driving "Canna".

Onur Ozman is one of the more remarkable names in Deep House. He is an artist and a professional architect, who combines both disciplines in his precise productions. Sound design to the smallest details. Now based in Zurich (Switzerland), Onur started his career as a prominent member of the Istanbul House music scene in early 2005, and his musical talent has since led to him releasing music on labels like Sum Over Histories, Isolate, Yoshitoshi, Hottrax, Rebirth, Noir Music and Kwench. His love for the origins of electronic music mixed with a commitment to the discovery of new sounds gives his catalogue a wide range, with no genre restrictions, like this experimental closing track "If U Want".

COD3 QR cries "Give Me Four!" for their first vinyl-only release of 2025. 

Label helmsman, Laurent Garnier delivers the first cut, setting the standard for "[QR]V.052.GMF.25".  "Back Where I Belong (Solaris Mix)" is a monumental builder.  Laurent once again brings his musical storytelling with layers upon layers of sound and melody alongside infectious beats. 

Berlin resident and Survival Tactics label head, Tal Fussman is known for creating music that works in many settings and transcends genres.  Fast becoming a COD3 QR regular having previously provided the deep "10247" for COD3 QR 016 and epic "If I Can" for "[QR]D.158.DWM.24".  This time he returns with the upbeat "Waiting" and a heavy nod to retro soulful House.   

Leading French producer Loloman creates music inspired by his extensive experience on the dancefloor alongside the roots of Detroit techno and Chicago house.  On November's "[QR]D.320.MFS.24" he gave us "The Wall" which has now been masterfully reworked by Garnier. 

Benny Rodrigues a.k.a. ROD unveils his new moniker, The Lost Souldancer.  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."  "No More Voices" brings that feeling alive as a perfect closer to this soul-stirring EP.

We hit the jackpot with lucky number seven… seven killer new tracks on [QR]D.115.TLN.25 by returning players Carlos Nilmmns, Jules Wells & DCLVIII OFC, Jay Robinson, Alex Mendes and Onur Ozman, alongside new participants ProOne79 and Trecci.

Carlos Nilmmns has become synonymous with an eclectic but often deep and sensual sound influenced by the traditions of Chicago and Detroit. In the past, he's released on some of the best-of-breed labels in the world including Circus Company, Cocoon, Ornaments, KMS, Planet E and Dopewax. Don't sleep on his Jazz-infused opener "Moon Dance".

Italian based producer Gioele Cantoni a.k.a. ProOne79 lives for dance music. Like Carlos he's influenced by the sounds of Chicago and Detroit and has been crafting high-powered and catchy Techno and House for labels including Nervous, Circus Recordings, Kneaded Pains, Flashmob Records, This Ain't Bristol, WRKTRX and many more. Now he delivers the seriously funky groove of "Lysergic" to the label.

influenced by the Motor City, Jules Wells has released on several respected Detroit-based labels like Electrofunk, Submerge, Twilight 76, KMS and Planet E, but also on the likes of Brique Rouge (France), Purebox (Japan) and Logos (Macedonia). Most notably his track "Song4Clara" on KMS, which inspired Laurent Garnier's "Enchanté". Meanwhile, Anthony Godin a.k.a. DCLVIII OFC has been a veteran of music production for over two decades, with more than 25 years of mixing experience. As The White Shadow he released on Suara, Still Von Talent, Kattermukke and Einmusika. His DCLVIII OFC moniker embodies a more Techno approach, with subtle progression and a melodic touch. Together they deliver the epic and atmospheric, "Heritage".

Trecci is a French DJ, electronic music producer and manager of both Naeba Records and Ontake Records. While a lot of his releases are on his own Naeba Records, he has also featured on international labels including Brique Rouge, Soiree, RF, Biotech, UKR Special Series, Nice & Nasty, Deep Gruv, Hautboxx, Slates Records and many more. His track "Manly Whatnots" sends the release into deeper and moodier territory.

Having been in the music scene for a decade, Jay Robinson's mix of House, Techno and Bass music has found support from all corners of the industry. His Mau5trap releases and collaborations with Idris Elba, Example and Grammy award winning Todd Edwards have all added to what has been a great few years for the Welsh wizard. Here he delivers some slammin' House with "Stroker".

Passionate about music of all genres but particularly drawn to electronic music, Alex Mendes feels equally at home in the studio and on stage, where he excels in the art of extended DJ sets. When it comes to production, Alex gravitates towards music driven by synthesizers and drums, always drawn from his own imagination, allowing him to tell a story in each of his tracks and "Terceiro Orbito" is no exception.

Onur Ozman is one of the more remarkable names in Deep House. Artist and professional architect, he combines both disciplines in his precise productions; sound design to the smallest details.
