Premiere: Hard To Tell - Feeling Alright [COD3 QR]

EPM.185 comes from Marshall Jefferson. Marshall is one of house music’s most important founding fathers. A key player in the Chicago house scene from the start, re-leases like ‘Open Our Eyes’, ‘7 Ways to Jack’ and the immortal ‘Move Your Body’ have had an undeniable impact on the development of house music as we know it today. He has recorded solo and collaborative material under various names such as Virgo, Jungle Wonz, Truth and On the House – many of which have elevated house music to a new level. We are totally honoured to have Marshall deliver a prime house party mix that brings a mixture of classic cuts and lesser-known gems with releases from Mr. Fingers, Hanna, Alex Finkin, DJ Disciple, Sebb Junior, Grant Nelson and Joe Smooth’s roof rais-ing anthem. A total joy from beginning to end!

Sometimes known as the God Father of house music, Grammy Nominated Jefferson was originally a record producer in the Universal Recording Studios in Chicago, where he met the owner of Trax Records, Larry Sherman.  Jefferson’s 1986 single for Trax, “Move Your Body”, the first house song to use piano, was a popular and influential song in the genre. During the late-1980s heyday of house music, he recorded solo and collaborative material under various names such as Virgo, Jungle Wonz, Truth, and On the House. Jefferson’s deep house productions include songs by CeCe Rogers and Sterling Void, and Ten City’s first two albums. 

Jefferson’s releases like ‘Open Our Eyes’, ‘7 Ways to Jack’ and the immortal ‘Move Your Body’ had an undeniable impact on the development of house music as we know it today. Jefferson’s releases on the iconic TRAX Records helped establish the label as one of Chicago’s best, and he has continued to put out some of the most widely-acclaimed mu-sic in house music history.  Over the years, Marshall has had a hand in house music’s evolution, spearheading the acid house movement with his work on the seminal ‘Acid Trax’ with DJ Pierre in 1987. He also turned his hand to deep house, most notably on ‘Open Our Eyes’, released in 1988 on Big Beat, which connected emotionally and physi-cally with listeners.  As well as growing the genre in his hometown, Marshall Jefferson was integral to house music’s growth worldwide. The DJ headline the first House Music Tour of Europe in 1987. After a brief hiatus in the early 1990s, Marshall began his legend-ary five-year residency with the Tribal Gathering and Big Love Events in London, during which time he released his 1997 studio album ‘Day Of The Onion’, which is considered one of the best house full-lengths of all time.  

Today, Jefferson continues to release original productions and extended mixes including remixes for Katy Perry, Galantis, Pet Shop Boys, and Oliver Heldens, alongside his standout DJ shows around the globe.  House music truly wouldn’t be the same without him.

EPM.185 is also available on Soundcloud, Mixcloud and Apple Music.

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.
