Beginning life as a 'heady 6/8 time urban jazz odyssey, 'Reunion is a stunning piece of modern, Hi-Tech Jazz that draws influences from Pat Metheny, Timeline, Innerzone Orchestra, and Clyde Stubbelfield's drumming.

While previous Quiet Village material was hewn from a myriad of samples extracted from Edwards' and Martin's notorious digging, 'Reunion' and its follow-ups are drawn from a tight-knit crew of session musicians, including the likes of Jon Hester and Thomas Gandey, adding further depth and feel to the QV sound. Already a firm favourite with Gilles Peterson and Luke Una, the latter of which leaked a clip of the release via his inimitable Instagram presence and called it 'something so fucking beautiful. Tony Allen, Sun Ra meets Carl Craig, Underground Resistance, house, tech, funk, everything rolled into one'.

'Reunion’ is the first single on The Quiet Village, Quiet Village's new imprint. Despite continually producing new music and a slew of remixes, most recently for Running Back and Isle of Jura, the long-term friends and collaborators have been unable to release under their artist name since their LP 'Silent Movie' in 2008. While a few releases under QV and their sometime DJ aliases of Maxxi (Edwards) and Zeus (Martin) have emerged, 'Reunion' is the beginning of a new and re-energised Quiet Village that will see more original material and remixes, DJ and live touring that began in Japan in May and curated compilations of treasures, old and new, in the coming months and years.

Jet-setting DJ/producer/songwriter Megatronic drops her first solo single from a forthcoming Razor-N-Tape EP with ‘The World’. A sultry and soulful club track featuring vocals by Stavros.
Following on a previous collab release as SMTHING SMTHING (with Aussie Ed Seven) on RNT’s Family Affair compilation series, and with releases on Melvo Baptiste’s blueprint label The Remedy, Turntables On The Hudson, and more, the UK native has been establishing her brand of forward-thinking soulful club song-smithery. With its deep and moody chords, a slowly building arpeggiated synth line, and an irresistibly catchy repeated vocal ‘The World’ is Meg’s most refined statement yet.

PREMIERE : Megatronic & Stavros - The World

Gaspar Muniz, Beno, Banana Gold - O Baile (Original Mix)

Dancing through the clouds, it seemed as if they might never find their way back to earth. Up above the world below, they felt at home wandering amidst the deep blue, watching as the fluffy pillows floated on by beneath them casting shadows down upon a dense green planet. From time to time they’d catch a glimpse of where they had arisen from, only to become re-emerged in the density of the fluffy white orbs.

They wandered atop a rainbow road, in the search of something more, something far more than what was beneath. They danced amidst the stars upon a highway of technicolour dreams.

This was the vision of a new future.

Anna Schreit is a Berlin producer and DJ who has dedicated an EP to close friends. Forthcoming on Compost Records this one showcases elegant House music with a nod to Detroit and beyond.

Label: COD3 QR
Cat No: QR V 172 TAM 24
Format: Vinyl
Released: 21 June 2024

Track Listing:

B3. Avision – Talk Is Cheap

In March this year COD3 QR delivered a digital threesome from DJ Deep, Avision and Deetron.  Now, twice as much is coming in June for the label's first vinyl-only release, with each artist bringing a second track to the platter.  As usual the tracks have been selected by Laurent Garnier for the label whose ethos is: Music diversity is our strength!

Fortunate to grow up around the rich club culture of NYC and influenced by the sounds around him, Avision started young on the turntables at the age of 12, gained his first residency at 15, and hasn't looked back since.  Around that time, he also began to hone his production skills and developed a distinctly New York-flavoured techno and house sound which is evident on "Hold No Groove" and "Talk Is Cheap".  It's the recognisable sound he's previously brought to the likes of Cocoon, Ellum, Drumcode and Hardgroove.  

Having been involved with making and playing music for over 20 years, Deetron is an artist who is assured in his ambitions and a skilled performer, maintaining a high level of quality in every aspect of his career: from mind-boggling three-deck DJ sets to his special touch on remixes or his diverse range of productions.  In 2014 he launched his own imprint, Character.  But has also graced the likes of Axis, Music Man, Subject Detroit, Running Back, Rekids and more.  Here he brings the original techno sound of "Pulse", alongside the deeper "Corazon".

DJ Deep got the party started on the digital version with "What's Going On".  It's now accompanied by the hypnotic "Transition".  So, it's no surprise to hear he started playing at clubs and raves in Paris in the late '80s / early '90s, including Laurent's renowned Wake Up at Rex.  The respected and versatile DJ, producer, label-boss and party curator is just at home helming the decks at major venues as well as mixing radio shows for Gilles Peterson's Worldwide FM.  As a producer his critically acclaimed appearances on Rekids, Kaoz Theory and Tresor, not to mention his own Deeply Rooted, have demonstrated his imaginative approach to house and techno.

COD3 QR delivers a double whammy for the next digital release with tracks by Tal Fussman and Costello taking the helm of [QR]D.158.DWM.24, as Laurent Garnier selects two Detroit orientated string bangers that go straight to the point at delivering the perfect positive tunes for your summer.

Tal Fussman creates music that works in many settings and transcends genres.  His openness to a wide range of sound is what has both made him a widely loved favourite, but also someone who operates in his own parallel musical world.  In late 2022 he announced the launch of his imprint, Survival Tactics, with the first release being his debut album released in 2023.  Tal grew up in a small town next to Tel Aviv, today he resides in Berlin and ready to take on whatever adventure awaits him.

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. His standout tracks have not only captured the attention of underground stalwarts like Boys Noize and Laurent Garnier but have also made waves among mainstream giants such as David Guetta and Tiësto.  Behind the decks, Costello's sets are a masterclass in energy and groove, showcasing his diverse musical heritage and relentless pursuit of innovation.

La Mano - Fabricca EP 
BUY LINK: https://sounddujour1.bandcamp.com/album/fabbrica-ep
Label: Sound Du Jour (https://soundcloud.com/sounddujour)

La Mano returns to his Sound Du Jour label with an emotive three-tracker.

The title track on La Mano’s ‘Fabricca’ EP is a deep and evocative piece featuring heavy-duty reverbs, distant snares and gorgeous arp melodies. ‘Fabricca’ marks La Mano’s return to his Sound Du Jour label, following his 2021 ‘Tarvisio’ EP, which launched the label, and a remix for MAN 2.0’s ‘Synapse’ on the imprint shortly after. Since then, he has gone on to release a remix for Man Power on Me Me Me and work on releases with the likes of Andy Ash, Marcus Christiansen and Demetae via Sound Du Jour.

‘Fiume’ is up next on La Mano’s ‘Fabricca’ EP. It’s an ever-evolving dreamscape on an electro tip, digitised birdsong occasionally breaking through its vibrant layers of harmony. This is before ‘Onda’ closes out the release via rich pads, a gated vocal, and club-ready drums. It’s the perfect finish for another versatile and melodic offering on Sound Du Jour.

PREMIERE : La Mano - Onda

Once upon a time, in a mystical Topanga mountain studio in California, two kindred spirits embarked on an auditory journey, delving deep into the realms of soundscapes and psychedelic resonance. In this ethereal space where reality intertwined with dreams, their collaboration gave birth to an enchanting creation: ‘Dreaming’. Driven by an insatiable thirst for innovation and diversity, these friends, seasoned performers from countless shared stages, sought to infuse their collective vision with distinct flavors. Thus, ‘Deep Space Odyssey’ and ‘Where The Tree Grows’ emerged, each offering a tantalizing twist to the sonic feast. Their fusion of unique culinary expertise ensures a release that is not only delectable but also nourishing to the soul.

Transport yourself to the majestic peaks of Topanga mountains where the air is thick with magic and surrender to the embrace of these sumptuous melodies. Within the Dreaming EP, crafted by the visionary minds of Anton Tumas and Dave DK, lies a sanctuary where every note is a thread weaving a cozy blanket of ethereal sound around your consciousness.
