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".

Nouvel invité d'Azdin dans son émission "Take Off" : DCLVIII OFC !

Anthony Godin, plus connu sous son alias "The White Shadow (FR)," est un vétéran de la production musicale depuis plus de deux décennies, avec plus de 25 ans d'expérience en mix. Son parcours artistique a débuté dans le monde de la techno mélodique, mais il a rapidement évolué vers des sonorités plus profondes et en a résulté le projet "The White Shadow (FR)." Sous ce nom, il a signé sur des labels de renom tels que Suara, Still Von Talent, Kattermukke, et Einmusika, attirant l'attention de DJs de renom tels que Solomon, Maceo Plex, et Oliver Huntemann.

Au fil de sa carrière, Anthony a exploré différents équipements musicaux, passant de la MPC2000, du micro Korg, du Nord Lead 2, et d'une Yamaha 01V à une approche plus minimaliste avec un Moog Sub37, une TD-3, une Roland TR-8S, et des performances live immersives.

Cependant, il a décidé de mettre fin au projet "The White Shadow (FR)" et a créé le projet DCLVIII OFC, qui incarne une approche plus techno, avec des influences de Detroit et une touche à la Garnier, ajoutant une progression subtile et une touche mélodique. Ils se distinguent en ne se limitant pas à un style en vogue du moment, plaçant les émotions au cœur de leur musique.

En témoigne ses morceaux signés sur Metrohm et son très récent EP sur Brique Rouge en collaboration avec David Duriez. Sa démarche musicale privilégie en effet les labels qui partagent sa passion et sa vision.

DCLVIII OFC incarne la philosophie selon laquelle "Techno is life!" et continue de repousser les limites de la musique électronique, avec une passion inébranlable pour l'art sonore. C'est donc très logiquement qu'Azdin lui a demandé de contribuer à "Take off" sur https://lineoutradio.com.

Bandcamp: https://sohaso.bandcamp.com/album/11-years-sohaso-horizons

SoHaSo presents a second compilation to celebrate their 11th birthday: Horizons. 11 tracks by current artists on the Utrecht-based record label.
 
11 Horizons will mark the route it is taking. It will be a long and winding road across futuristic dance floors and over soothing electronic fields. The album opens with two blissful chillout tracks. Label stalwart https://soundcloud.com/bas-dobbelaer draws the route for some serious laid-back unwinding. Or should we say rewinding, since the drum machine sometimes seems to move backwards.

Japanese super talent https://soundcloud.com/sooishi dives deep into details with a wonderful dreamy contribution. Ophelia has the same dubby feel as RAMZi but comes with a clear Asian twist. https://soundcloud.com/milio-101 debuts on SoHaSo with a dub-infused and slightly melancholic club track, while https://soundcloud.com/humanspacemachine drags us into the acid vortex.

While Horizons mainly contains new material, SoHaSo also looks back occasionally to give forgotten classics new life. Digital Fingerprint by Biological came out in 1998 on the now forgotten record label EC. More than 25 years later, its bouncy break beats still sound super fresh.

Dutch Techno producer https://soundcloud.com/quincemusic doesn't release much, but when he does it's always dope. Can't Hear You is spot on Detroit electro with a mighty strong punch. Label owner Nuno dos Santos delivers a melancholic beatless clubtool under his https://soundcloud.com/dwaalgast108 moniker. No kicks nor baslines but tons of Detroit-ish soul. 
 
Newcomer Small Solar System Body (https://soundcloud.com/david-hulsken) dives deep into dubtechno with Echoes of Entropy. Next year, SoHaSo releases an album by this talented producer. Dance veteran https://soundcloud.com/remyunger takes the route to motorcity Detroit on Mimpel, a driving techno track with beautiful keys and intricate melodies. 

After two albums, Far Out Radio Systems (https://soundcloud.com/thomasneyens) is ready for more goodies on SoHaSo. This City Is Ill paints a bleak future though, with its strong sentiments and black keys. Closer Rotiriot is by Dutch producer https://soundcloud.com/love-over-entropy, who only used one synthesizer for his upcoming album on SoHaSo, a Yamaha DX11. If you're into early Aphex Twin, you will love this.

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".
