Laurent Garnier's COD3 QR presents a French federation of top techno with new tracks from Unspent, Manuel-M, Kmyle, Loloman and Humantronic for the next release this September.

For over a decade, Anthony Bertholon and Jérémy Garde have been leading numerous musical projects across Europe. Together, they form Unspent, a duo blending raw, cold and powerful techno with refined production, marked by subtle leads and remarkable sound precision. This bold direction earned them a place on COD3 QR; a milestone that affirms their artistic integrity and lasting relevance. They open the EP with the drum-led, hypnotic "Sea Theatre".

A discreet yet respected artist, Manuel-M has been working passionately behind his machines since 2008. True to his principles, he steers clear of passing trends, making music above all for himself. He maintains an old-school vision, marked by the pioneers of techno, while incorporating his style through contemporary sound design on renowned labels like Tronic, Brique Rouge and here on COD3 QR, with the bright and grooving "A Night in Charleroi".

Kmyle is synonymous with boundless audible exploration having etched a lasting mark in the realm of electronic music. He seamlessly blends magnetic techno, hypnotic rhythms and ethereal melodies, as displayed on "Drill". Other labels such as Soma, Mord and Skryptom have placed their unwavering trust in his musical prowess, and in 2020 he launched his own Kmyle Records.

Loloman is one of the leading French producers in the underground electronic music scene. He creates 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. Since 2019 he's released on prestigious labels like MB Elektroniks, Brique Rouge, Metrohm and (of course), COD3 QR. Here, he drops the story-telling "Rock Hit".

Humantronic is a long-standing figure in the international electronic underground. After co-founding the Neopren label and debuting with a #1 release on Juno, he spent several years in Berlin refining his distinctive, groove-driven techno. He later founded his own imprint, Manakacha and released on legendary labels such as Traum, KMS and Harthouse. Now back in southern France, he's been staying true to his passion for techno, with both consistency and integrity, that's evident on melodic closer, "Madspace".
