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.  This varied 6-pack, coded "[QR]V.200.SPK.24" is comprised of exclusive tracks from members of the extended COD3 QR family: Skatman, Works Of Intent, Yann Lean, and Joaquim Plossu & Salem Focus, alongside Jules Wells' "Dreamer" (released digitally on the label in May) and Squal G's "Waiting 4U" (from April).

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".

Sounds Familiar is the world-renowned artist agency, label, and record store that is synonymous with quality and heart. This year Sounds Familiar is celebrating a decade in dance music by releasing 3 LP’s. The series entitled “Familiar Sounds”  dropped its first volume in April and featured Dego, Kamma & Masalo, Aleqs Notal Feat Anu, Kai Alcé, Retromigrationand Hugo LX.  On the second volume Sounds Familiar continues to join the musical dots with artists from the roster spanning elastic acid house and candle-lit piano jazz. Familiar Sounds Volume 2 features another heavyweight lineup that includes the mighty Kaidi Tatham, Carista, Gigi Testa, Zopelar, Alex From Tokyo and K15, all on a 12” vinyl album that reaches all corners of the roster’s electronic jazz-influenced sound.
 
Kaidi Tatham’s upstart summer anthem ‘Misguided Youts’ kicks off. Built on a piano vamp and an infectious horn line, the track eases into a consummate piece of future fusion, stirring the melting pot of London’s jazz and broken beat heritage into the kind of soulful jam that has rightly earned him his legendary reputation. Taking a deeper dive, Carista tweaks the dials to deliver a slice of rubbery four-to-the-floor dancefloor business. Rattling snap-back snares give her track ‘Love Me Right’ a kind of early hours dynamism, the dream-like vocal sample drifting across a room of loose and swaying bodies. Gigi Testarounds out the A-side with shuffling outernational house track ‘Summer Snow.’ Integrating his passion for global rhythms, the Rush Hour affiliate, and Organica Record Shop owner channels the shimmering opulence of the Amalfi coast on what is an indulgent boat party of lush pads and sun-dappled melodies.
 
On the flip Zopelar delivers the jazzy, disco-infused house of ‘Arapuca.’ There’s a skittish energy to Zopelar’s offering, which wriggles and jives between muted trumpet improvisations, George Duke’s ‘A Brazilian Love Affair’ and the kind of in-the pocket synth work he is known to have among his arsenal of musical skills!  Alex From Tokyo weaves in the stripped back influence of his former Berlin home into the techno-pop landscape of his Japanese upbringing, heading in to go out on the cosmic club cut ‘Wa Galaxy.’ Closing out the LP is DJ, producer, and man of many monikers, the inimitable K15. Putting on his jazz hat most associated with his work as Culross Close, ‘Autumn’ is a solo piano ballad that brings the exuberance of high summer to a reflective end, demonstrating just how varied and open-minded the world of Sounds Familiar is.

Laurent Garnier selects new tracks for [QR]D.137.SPK.24 by six COD3 QR favourites Carlos Nilmmns, Jules Wells, Marco Bailey, Lois (fr), Voltaire and Joaquim Plossu.

UK producer, Carlos Nilmmns, originally from Glasgow (Scotland), now living in Angers (France) has become synonymous with an eclectic but often deep and sensual sound influenced by the traditions of Chicago and Detroit. He's released on some of the world's best labels including Circus Company, Cocoon, Ornaments, KMS, Planet E and Dopewax. He follows up "Old Paris" for COD3 QR 016 with the Jazz House of "True People".

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).

Marco Bailey is no stranger to COD3 QR delivering "Keep On Holding" for COD3 QR 011 and "Liquid Room" for 014. A luminary figure in the global techno landscape, Belgian DJ, producer and label owner (Materia, MB Elektronics, Elektronik Zoo Sounds, Fundaments Ltd), Marco's career has spanned over three decades. Beginning in the early 1990s, his tracks have also graced revered imprints such as Intec, Bedrock, Cocoon and many more. Here, he brings the epic Techno of "Full Steam".

Lois (fr) who has also produced under the name Loïs Plugged, is a sound engineer, music producer and one of the key players in the Bordeaux electronic scene. Founder of the Bordeaux school Artschool and manager of Intelligent Design (his production and mastering studio), he has also signed numerous compositions and remixes on independent and major labels including Sony, Trax, his own Wefine and COD3 QR (009, 011 and 013). This we get late-night Techno action on "Fire".

Another COD3 QR regular is the studio crazy Voltaire. Always demanding in the art of handling frequencies and machines, his productions, where rhythms, pads and melodies intermingle, come to form the contours of his universe: a vibrating techno star at the tempo of bewitching kicks. Master of romantic techno, Voltaire writes a story from the stars with a classic Electro, deep Techno and melodic pen. He selects his Electro nib for "The Dawn".

French born, Mexican resident Joaquim Plossu returns from [QR]D.109.RFL.24, with "Geologist Dub". He has been making music as a producer, multi-instrumentalist and sound designer for the past 20 years with releases on 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 closes the release with the dubby Lofi of "Geologist Dub"

Eva - Take Me... Mr Love (Luca Dell'Orso remix)

Emotional Weaponry announces the release of Visions & Videos, a collaboration between Channan Hanif and Works Of Intent. Driven by a groovy, hypnotic sub-bass, the track allows fragments of Sufjan Stevens’ “Visions of Gideon” to surface like faint transmissions, its refrain— “I have loved you for the last time… is it a video?” —becoming the emotional centre of the piece.

By reworking material made famous through Luca Guadagnino’s Call Me By Your Name, Visions & Videos creates an unexpected dialogue between two audiences: the film’s queer, cinematic space of intimacy, and the expansive world of melodic techno. This overlap is where the track finds its strength — at once personal, communal, and unafraid of crossing boundaries.

[EW_007] Sufjan Stevens - Visions Of Gideon (Channan Hanif & Works Of Intent Remix)

Big room techno maestro and melancholic selector "Works Of Intent" joins forces with model and lyricist "Gray" to deliver this scintillating slice of New York House homage.

The original 1988 copy is a dry witted take on the realities of the American dream, and the pursuit for fame and fortune. A working class cabbie with dreams of being a singer, has to take the train from New Jersey just to drive his cab. His passenger, an aspiring model with an unconvincing British accent is in town and headed straight to the Vogue building. “Because, that’s where the money’s at.”

The two artists first met in the corridors of SoundCloud. Works had an appreciation of the Techno / Afro House fusion mixes of Gray and she had reciprocal respect for Works’ arp driven, “Big Room” oddities. After an exchange of emails and a gifting of freshly pressed cuts from the hit factory, Gray surprised Works with a vocal rendition of “Winning Dulls The Pain” that blew his proverbial socks off. Since then they’ve been scheming a global formulated takeover.

The pair rework the digger's classic into a modern dancefloor workout, "Gotta Get That Money (Classic Mix)" offers a fresh coat of paint, lyrically exploring a new backstory while meticulously preserving that quintessential vinyl crackle.

The release is paired with "Gotta Get That Money (Big Money Mix)," a typically huge alternate version designed for the superstar DJs whose hands it will inevitably find itself in. With arena rattling subs and ketamine crisis inducing synth lines that rear their ugly head in the last half.

It's sleek, it's sexy, and it oozes early 90s chic.

Fedele feat. Mickael Karkousse - There's Only One (Works Of Intent Remix)

After years of tracing faint signals through clubs, bootlegs, and unreliable sightings, Emotional Weaponry can finally confirm the emergence of [EW_009]. Codenamed Atah, this is Works Of Intent’s covert reconstruction of Hai Ishq Khata from Deewangee (2002) — a soundtrack–club hybrid now rebuilt for full operational impact. The tempo is pushed, the urgency sharpened, and rolling sub-lines underpin the familiar melodic cues, all reconfigured into a system designed for escalation on the dancefloor.

Field reports confirm Works Of Intent has been testing this tool since 2019, producing “mind-melting” responses: disorientation, emotional surges, and collective movement spikes. No clean recording ever surfaced until now — a sign of deliberate containment. Atah has long been one of our most sought-after missing components, frequently sighted and never captured. [EW_009] is now declassified. Proceed accordingly.
