After a number of acclaimed tracks and EPs, the southern newcomer on the French electronic scene is releasing his first album on COD3 QR, Laurent Garnier's label. A full-length album on which the producer establishes himself as the newcomer to watch in a techno revival.

The rise to fame has been a gradual one for the producer from the south of France, and the release of "Echoes" could well have a resounding impact on the French electronic music scene, which is beginning to take on a new lease of life. Passionate musician, head on shoulders and sharp ear, Voltaire has prepared the release of this long format with COD3 QR well. After several EPs and appearances on the label's famous compilations since 2021, plus a remix in 2023 of Laurent Garnier's "Tales From The Real World" that allowed a glimpse at his potential, "Echoes" now allows full appreciation of all of this musician's qualities.

The gradual disappearance of the album format versus the digital single has not dampened the determination of this artist and the label to impose a singular artistic vision on an LP: "After having produced a number of tracks, I was absolutely determined to create a story with all the pieces on this album", assures Voltaire. "I wanted to compose something that I don't hear anymore in today's music, something different from dancefloor techno. Echoes fully crystallises this desire."

The emotional eclecticism of this album comes as no surprise to listeners who have followed Voltaire's previous releases. "Since I started out, I've produced house, techno and electro tracks... this eclecticism is part of my personality as a musician. I love all facets of electronic music and I want to remain open to all influences."

"Echoes" features lush, lysergic techno (the phenomenal "Detune", "Echoes", "Human" and "Unity", reminiscent of Border Community), liberating forays into IDM ("Connection Lost", "I’ll See You Again", "Singular Pursuit", whose dreamy melody will inevitably bring Plaid to mind), catchy electro-techno (the aptly named "Dance!", "Wave Function", a model of mental techno), raw dancefloor accents and even a symphonic anthem to conclude (the luminous "Voltaire").

Through this frenzied eclecticism, Voltaire intends to put his signature: "the link between all the songs of the album is the precision of the rhythms, the choice of melodies, the metallic sound of cymbals…". Nourished by the electro of origins (Kraftwerk, Juan Atkins' Detroit, Robert Hood or Dopplereffekt) and the profusion of electro from the 2000s and 2010s, Voltaire is under the influence of an extremely productive retro-mania. With "Echoes", he offers a brilliant synthesis, in the precious setting of an irreproachable production.

His releases include those on COD3 QR (under the alias Bel Air Ltd.), Planet E, Border Community, Cocoon, and Visionquest.

Fitzherbert, a producer and DJ, began his musical journey at age 9. After gaining attention as part of the duo Lakechild, he brings his solo sound, blending disco, funk, house, and techno. His previously self-released "Short Trip to Space" is now featured on COD3 QR.

TIN SELECTION 008 - Rina Katen

You might know Ben Evers as one half of Adana Twins – but now he’s stepping out solo again, and stepping up. Fueled by the raw energy of electronic music and a deep connection to the dancefloor, Ben blends house, R&B and hip hop influences into a sound that’s both emotional and powerful. Years on the global circuit as a DJ, plus serious studio chops, have shaped him into a truly versatile artist with his own voice and vision.
This release marks a new chapter – a personal statement wrapped in rhythm, built for big rooms and intimate spaces alike. It’s Ben in full control, letting the vibe unfold with every beat.

Joining the ride is Anna Schreit – a Berlin-based DJ and producer known for her fluid style and deep musical roots.
Raised on her father’s art rock and shaped by both the raw pulse of Berlin’s underground and her formative time in Munich, Anna has carved out a name for herself with genre-bending sets and a fearless approach to house and beyond. A resident at Sisyphos, she brings her own flavour to the release with a killer remix that hits just right – slick, unrelenting, and dripping with intent.
A heavyweight collab from two artists who know exactly where they’re going – and aren’t afraid to take the scenic route.

Havantepe – Studio Artodo (200 050) – Low Quality Preview

In the heart of Orion there is Trapezium: four bright stars, that can be found near the center of this sharp cosmic portrait. Gathered within a region about 1.5 light-years in radius, these stars dominate the core of the dense Orion Nebula Star Cluster.

Down to Planet Earth: from the first contact we had with https://soundcloud.com/dona-volkova’s recordings, we’ve been enchanted by her gracious way to guide us through the dubbier forests of house music. Adopted by the city of Prague, Anastasia preaches about the humble analog format of vinyl records with her record selections rooted in dub techno as well as minimal house. One of the many reasons we invited Dona Volkova to take over our Strangers In The Night series with a vinyl only 60 minutes mix, recorded in the confort of her own place on a pair of turntables. With tracks from Steve O’Sullivan, Sirko Muller, Eric Louis, Andre Kronert, Tm Shuffle , Roger Gerressen, Simon Mann, Federsen and more.

Enjoy it as much as we did!
