It’s been more than a week since Russia has invaded Ukraine, destroying Ukrainian cities and shattering the lives of millions of people, whose world will never be the same again. The Ukrainian music and culture community is devastated by the shocking crimes of the Russian government. We wish for peace in our country above all, and we are doing everything in our power to support the people of Ukraine. 

Right now It is most critical to raise funds for the Ukrainians bravely defending their country, and for those, who had to leave their homes behind. Therefore, Standard Deviation has joined forces with @Mystictrax — a Ukrainian label run by Lostlojic, for our most important release: РАЗОМ ЗА УКРАЇНУ / TOGETHER FOR UKRAINE — a compilation by 65 Ukrainian and International artists to be sold exclusively via Bandcamp. All profits from this release will be split between the following charity funds, supporting the people of Ukraine:

- The ‘Return Alive’ Fund, helping at the Ukrainian front  
- National Bank of Ukraine Fundraising Account for Humanitarian Assistance 
- ‘Ukraine Pride’ Fund for LGBTQIA+ soldiers and LGBTQIA+ people affected by the war
- ‘Голос Дітей’ Fund, helping children affected by the war

We would like to express special gratitude to all the artists who got involved, mastering engineers who helped supporting the project, Poly Chain and Omon Breaker, who co-curated the release while being in the midst of war, Wolfgang Tillmans for providing the artwork, Julia Crescitelli for her video art, Ivan Tsanko for providing the typography, Modern Matters for helping with the release.

We are sincerely grateful to the Armed Forces of Ukraine and to every soldier, every volunteer, every activist, every person who brings us closer to victory and freedom.

PO FOLK sees Berlin newcomers make a welcome return to Klasse Recordings, their second EP for the label is a stripped to the bone work-out of all killer no filler.

PO FOLK comes in two versions, the 'HATE' version kicks off with distorted kicks and stabs before dropping to a devastating buzzy bassline. Techno and House in equal form, the track is perfect mix of light and dark. Vocals come courtesy of the group themselves, re-voicing a classic track that might be familiar to some.

The 'LOVE' version brings some melody and warmth into play, but still retains all the analogue fuzz and nastiness. MPC style sample cut ups ride the beat and transport the track to another heavy bassline and vocal chat.

Berlin based Panorama Bar favourites, Analogue Cops join the ranks of Klasse Recordings with a unique take on the title track. Playing out as a live jam session, the Restoration Records duo dub out the original parts and turn in a version that is as relentless as it is intriguing. Heavy on the bass and with double the weirdness, their interpretation is sure to cause havoc on any willing dancefloor.

Wrapping up the EP is 'Black Widow', an atmospheric and dynamic track that builds slowly before introducing a huge sub bass. Reduced to only the most essential of parts, 'Black Widow' is sure to play out well in any forward thinking DJ set.

Laurent Garnier has handpicked six fresh tracks for COD3 QR's first release of 2025: [QR]D.024.HDZ.25.

Dukwa kicks things off with “Waves.” A seasoned Italian DJ and producer, Dukwa has been honing his craft for over a decade. From his early solo work on Bosconi to releases on Don’t Be Afraid, Numbers, Shall Not Fade, and his own Dukwa Music, his sound has evolved into something raw, punchy, and always meticulously crafted with hardware, sampling, and editing.

Next up is Victor Santana with “Jilter All Day.” A Madrid-based DJ, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, Victor has always been dedicated to uniting the crowd through music. Having released on labels like Subsist, EPM Music, and Motech, he’s also the founder of Chaval Records, an imprint set to make waves soon.

Hard To Tell (Roy & Roi) bring the energy with “Feeling Alright.” Known for their hypnotic grooves, they fuse Detroit techno, house, new wave, and breakbeat dynamics into magnetic club bangers. Their tracks have been supported by Dixon and Âme, with recent releases on Secret Weapons, Sums Over Histories, and Siamese.

French artist Squal G brings a driving techno track with “Face.” Passionate about electronic music since the ‘90s, Squal G has dabbled in various styles while staying true to his roots in techno. As the producer and manager of Slates Records, his sound is versatile and ever-evolving.

Danny Daze follows with a gritty electro anthem, showcasing his risk-taking approach to music. A Miami native deeply influenced by the underground Dutch electro and Detroit techno scenes, Daze has expanded his reach beyond techno, working on runway soundtracks for top brands and producing for his label, Omnidisc.

The collaboration between Djoy De Cuba and Joyvan Guevara (aka Djoy De Cuba) brings the atmospheric techno drone of “Vertigo.” Born in Havana and based in Tampa, Florida, Djoy De Cuba is a pioneer of Cuban electronic music and founder of the ROTILLA festival.

Finally, French producer Marcelus (under his alias Rosegreen) closes the EP with the ethereal electronica of “Lotus.” A discreet yet respected figure in the techno world, Marcelus has built a strong reputation with releases on Deeply Rooted House, Tresor, and his own Singular Records, as well as a residency at Berlin's Tresor club.

This diverse EP represents the breadth and depth of COD3 QR’s ongoing sonic exploration, bringing together some of the most exciting names in electronic music today.
