Sascha Funke is creating a long overdue monument to an almost forgotten cultural artefact of the GDR: the ‘Germina Speeder’ was the only skateboard made in East Germany before reunification and was launched in 1986. It was produced by VEB Schokoladen-Verarbeitungsmaschinen (a state-owned chocolate processing machine factory) in Wernigerode and was therefore affectionately known as the ‘chocolate board’. However, it was hardly suitable for actual skateboarding due to technical inadequacies. It is not known whether Sascha himself owned such a board, but the tracks on the ‘Germina Speeder’ EP definitely roll better than the original. The opener ‘Blaupunkt’ breathes the euphoric spirit of the legendary Berlin club ‘E-Werk’, while the title track would have been more at home at the ‘Dubmission’ parties in the Turbine. Sascha leaves the 90s behind with radiant positivism; ‘Bo Knows’ sounds more like a 2000s open air at Café Schönbrunn. The EP closes with ‘Mastermind’, a high-octane psy-proghouse banger that, like all four tracks, quotes the past but still has both feet on today’s dance floors. Or rather, is dancing. 4:1 for love!

Bo Knows

Sascha Funke - Bo Knows

One day Santos sent a live session demo that immediately caught Robag Wruhme’s attention. The rawness of the beat construction and the strong influence of jazz were just more than right. Now the song is called “Lounge Sabotage” and brings two super sweet friends with it. They are called “In The Evening" and “Age of Gold”.
We are more than pleased that this 3 track EP will be released on Tulpa Ovi Records.

Robag Wruhme has been playing songs by Santos from Frosinone in Italy in his DJ sets for a long time. It is always these kinds of weapons that bring the dance floor under control. Santos himself produced music since 1994 and runs the label “Let Me Understand Records”, and has been releasing exclusively his own great music on it since 2018. One day Santos sent a live session demo that immediately caught Robag Wruhme’s attention. The rawness of the beat construction and the strong influence of jazz were just more than right. Now the song is called “Lounge Sabotage” and brings two super sweet friends with it. They are called “In The Evening" and “Age of Gold”.

Santos - Lounge Sabotage

Artist: Various Artists 
Title: [QR]V.052.GMF.25 
Label: COD3 QR 
Cat No: QRV052GMF25 
Format: Vinyl 
Released: 21 February 2025 

Track Listing: 
A1. Laurent Garnier – Back Where I Belong (Solaris Mix) 
A2. Tal Fussman – Waiting 
B1. Loloman - The Wall (Laurent Garnier ReWork) 
B2. The Lost Souldancer - No More Voices 

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.

Artist: Voltaire 
Title: [QR]D.080.VOL2.25 
Label: COD3 QR 
Cat No: QRD080VOL225 
Format: Digital 
Released: 21 March 2025 

Track Listing: 
1. Detune 
2. Enlight 
3. Unity 

After a number of acclaimed tracks and EPs, the southern newcomer on the French electronic scene, Voltaire will be releasing his debut album on Laurent Garnier's COD3 QR label this year.  As a first taster, the three-track EP "[QR]D.292.VOL1.24" was released in October 2024.  Following on, a second EP drops in March features two more cuts from the forthcoming album alongside a third track which is exclusive to this new EP. 

Voltaire is an artist who built his career through passion, after electronic music fell into his lap somewhat by chance.  Coming from a region far from the preferred circuits of the music world, he cultivated his predispositions in autarky.  Very quickly, the musician took advantage of his training in the audio-visual industry (where he worked as a sound recordist and mixer for cinema, advertising and haute couture) to raise the artistic and technical quality of his productions to a very high level.  Today Voltaire is a COD3 QR regular: he has remixed "Tales from the Real World" from Laurent Garnier's "33 Tours Et Puis S'en Vont" album, had several vinyl and digital releases and has been in the line-up of several events. 

Voltaire uses his perfectionist approach to music to create a richly emotional eclecticism, whether it's the story-telling techno of "Detune", the housier edge of EP exclusive, "Enlight" or the electro-fied closer, "Unity". 

"[QR]D.080.VOL2.25" is released digitally on 21 March and will be followed by his "Echoes" album this summer.

The first in a series of remixes for Michael Mayer’s latest album The Floor Is Lava comes from one of our favourite artists here at Kompakt HQ: PRIORI. Everything this Montreal-based artist has touched has turned to gold. His reworking of Mayer’s The Solution is certainly no exception. Rightly so, Priori has just been honoured with a Juno Award, the Canadian equivalent of the Grammys. Congratulations, Francis!
