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".

Release Info:
J. Peacock is back for his Summer take over! Good times and Happiness all over this cool funky release with three new jams and an excellent Laurence Guy remix as the cherry on the cake!

The opener “Found Her” is another loopy dance floor burner a la Peacock, a tune ready for the main room. An old northern soul sample, surrounded by some classic house percussion that eventually cuts into a driving jupiter-8 bassline. J. Peacock sees this one as a sequel to his previous release ‘Can’t Find Her’.

Next is the RnB friendly deep house cut “Hold On Till Dawn”, perfect for your sunrise set! The percussion in this tune is heavily inspired by UK garage, blending that sound with house always works so well. Lush and deep emotional pads and keys on an eased out beat foundation, how much more summer can you pack in a tune?

A perfect “b-side” roller that pumps on any sound system is “No Tears Now”. Inspired by the sounds of Daphni, those analogue synth stabs and breaks really balance out this EP. And those disco string samples really carry this one through, that Peacock style again!

To top things off J. Peacock asked his good pal Laurence Guy to grace us with a class remix like only he can. Speeding up the pace and transforming the original into a true gem of a track. A deep rolling groove that works its way towards an irresistible ending, it could go on forever as far as we are concerned! Pretty sure you will hear this one a lot this holiday season together with the dope originals.

All tracks mastered by Salz Mastering in Cologne.

Vienna-based Jorkes is one of the underground's most unique house and disco innovators thanks to a series of standout releases on their own Freeride Millenium label as well as Live At Robert Johnson, Aux, Permanent Vacation and more. The Animal EP from earlier this year perfectly exemplified their sensuous and erotic style and now the three tracks get reworked by a set of top contemporary talents. The original artwork and photography for the release is by Daniel Rajcsanyi, with additional typography and reframing by Studio Mizuiro.
Greek-born and Freeride Millenium regular NIKKNAME is first. From deepest house to melancholic ambient via moody disco, he has explored a wide array of styles. He flips ‘Hot’ into a sizzling electro-disco pumper lit up by rugged synth arps and libidinous vocal sounds, finishing it with a passionate edge.
Delicate Features is the moniker of composer Pavel Diakov and vocalist Radmila Nikogosian, a duo who make immersive soundscapes and have released on Freeride Millenium as well as Cellar Tapes and Not Not Fun Records. Their remix of 'Garden Of Lust' is replete with soft and silky chords adding a diffuse glow to the 80s disco beats while whispered vocals make things intimate.
Last of all, comes Irish-born artist, Permanent Vacation associate, and audio engineer Sara Miller. She is a regular at
Berlin’s most cult clubs and runs her own well-regarded Naive Melodies events in the city. Her Glitter Mix of ‘Animal’ is a full-throttle house track with warm kick drums and glistening, pixelated melodies, adding sugary disco stylings up top.

Qess steps up with a release on the evergreen Poker Flat Recordings, Steve Bug’s long running and now legendary label for deep and techy house.  

The London based DJ/producer of house and electronica previously had a release with Ursula Rucker on Mobilee in 2020, and here drops It’s Always Been There - deep, melodic and vibey from start to finish. 

The Berlin legend Cinthie brings a tough remix to the table, adding some powerful chords and a whole lot of energy.

Wil Do is the artistic project of Paraguayan DJ and producer Wildo Caceres. It's no exaggeration to say that Wildo is one of South America's rare gems from a creative standpoint in both DJing and music production. His main influences come from Hip Hop, Disco, and 90s club music, but it's the way he interprets this blend that truly makes his journey special. It’s no surprise that he has secured a spot on some of the most demanding and relevant labels in our scene, such as Slow Life, which this year released his highly anticipated vinyl, Vieja Guardia. We are very proud to welcome him here for the 603 edition of Alaplay.

La Fleur, born Sanna La Fleur Engdahl, made the not-so-conventional transition from pharmacist to DJ.

Known for her melodic and deep approach to house and techno, drawing on years of experience on the dance floor and as a classically trained musician, she founded her own label Power Plant Records in 2010. 

"Since everything is about energy, love and relationships, I tried to tell a bit of that story with my mix. I've included some of my favourite tracks at the moment as well as my single ‘Plastic Miami’, from my debut album ‘Väsen’, out on [PIAS] Électronique on 18th October. I'm so excited to get back to fabric for the show on the 27th.

fabric is very special to me. The first time I played there many moons ago, I played room 3. That gig actually played part in landing me a residency at another club, Watergate in Berlin. fabric played a big role and is a big part of underground club culture and I couldn't be more excited to get back, this time in Room 2 to deliver the message about eternal groove."
