I became aware of Laniz from Tel Aviv when I got their promo on GND Records, the track 'Apart' immediately appealed to me and I've been playing it in my sets for weeks. When the guys sent me a demo due to my positive feedback, I hit them immediately. I am very happy to welcome Laniz on Complexed Records - Drumcomplex

The love for electronic music awoke ESSØESS at the age of 12, inspired by a close childhood friend who introduced him to this world.
When he was first introduced to important sites such as the Butan in Wuppertal and the Rheingold (former Poison Club. closed) in Düsseldorf, in 2012, his heart immediately caught fire, and a passion that would accompany him throughout his life began to captivate him. The atmosphere in the clubs, the love that could be felt in the air and the dancing crowd that moved rhythmically to driving basslines in ecstasy - like a single harmonic movement - fascinated him from this initial moment. This is where the journey began, on which he is to this day. Motivated by this seizure, imbued with passion and curiosity, he devoted himself to laying on in 2014. He developed his own, very personal sound, driving, energetic, groovy and unmistakeably far away from any mainstream.
Soon after, the first gigs followed, e.g. in Dortmund's absolute club, where he made the dance floor glow in 2015. Further bookings were not long in coming: from the popular Butan Club (Wuppertal) to the Frohnatur (Essen), Grace Jones (Essen), Klangkeller and Alter Schlachthof (Düsseldorf), as well as the Project 42 (Mönchengladbach) led him on his way to Cologne to the Artheater, where he played at the bar.
It is hardly surprising that after a short time, the Club Stilvoll (closed) in his hometown, Neuss, drew the talented newcomer as a resident and planned him for one of his fixed events. In addition,  Kammer (Düsseldorf, closed) booked him as a resident DJ in 2015.
He was also able to gain festival experience and thus add another important point of experience to his career as a DJ: On the one hand, in 2018, in the Essigfabrik at the Affenkäfig-Festival (Cologne) and on the other hand through a gig, 2022 at the legendary Sea You Festival (Freiburg im Breisgau) on stage 5. Already throughout Germany, ESSØESS has been a guest in numerous podcast series, and his performances prove again and again that his sound can satisfy the tastes of listeners of different styles:
For example, he records sets for well-known labels in the Cologne area, such as the famous Hasenbau for the young Crew Serotonin as well as for the popular Kassiopeia series, in Freiburg for the Black TECHNO Friday podcast, Saarbrücken also already enjoyed his sound full at his auditory expense with his sets for the Gryphon podcast and for ZOODIAK with Friends. 
Consequently in the future, the Neusser does not want to sit back on his success, but henceforth devote his attention to the expansion of his musical skills and turn to producing in order to climb the next level for him.

my way of Life ? TECHNO !

What does techno look like in its purest form? Clear in its structure. Credible in its message. With an insistent beat in the background. With its heart in the right place. And its melody in the tips of the never-ending goosebumps.Those who know, are aware of that. Those who can, do it. At Complexed Records they've only been doing just that since 2014. But they do it with a sound that embodies such determination that it could just as well come from the good old days in the beginning. That's primarily down to label boss Drumcomplex, who in this short period and with very few artists has established a reputation that has projected virtually every new release into the playlists of the major players. And in the process he and his label have themselves grown to become a major force.It's as if Complexed Records hit the nerve of an age which was not openly calling out for a powerful breath of techno past, yet still seems relieved to hear it. Or rather, to absorb it. Who would have thought a few years ago that once again a new techno label would be established and experience such a meteoric rise. But let's leave the past in peace. Let's look to the future. A glittering future with packed dance floors, on which visionaries once again celebrate music as a unifying element as they dance together into the early hours, with gratified smiles on their faces. And the sound they're dancing to? Complexed Records. Modern Future Techno.
