Mixes

Out now on Rekids: lnk.to/REKIDS175

Following standout appearances on Feel My Bicep, Unknown To The Unknown, and E-MISSIONS, Irish-born DJ/producer Cromby hits Rekids with a four-track EP of crisp techno cuts. Heavily utilising the sound of hardware across the release, ‘Twisted Future EP’ sees Cromby explore the depths of these classic sound palettes over robust techno frameworks. 

‘IXP-42’ brings crunching drums and wiggling synths together for over two minutes, building tension before eventually, the much-awaited bassline comes in thick and fast. ‘Follow The Bass’ brings a dose of the unusual to proceedings, with snaking FM leads modulating throughout a maze of sizzling percussion.

On the flip, Bleep meets Baltimore on ‘Relief’, with meaty acid lines, vocals and clattering drums sparring with each other across the track, while ‘Vortex’ rounds off the release, with bright shimmering stabs peppering the stomping drums and distinct squelch of the 303.

Out now on Phantasy: http://lnk.to/CrombyPH105

Cromby debuts on Phantasy alongside vocalist Tee Amara with a luminous new single, ‘Qué Sientes’. An emergent anthem overflowing with the energy that has come to define the Belfast producer’s ascent as one of the most versatile talents in club culture, ‘Qué Sientes’ is contemporary electro brimming with character, skilfully remixed by Ecuadorian underground favourite, Nicola Cruz.

“I produced more music than ever during the past year, but it was always the collaborations and studio hangs with friends that really stood out. Tee Amara is an amazing vocalist and artist in her own right, and I feel like you can feel that energy captured on ‘Qué Sientes’, even without the club to inspire us. I’ve long been a fan of Phantasy and sensed collaboration has always been at the heart of the label, so I’m extra pleased this record ended up there.” - Cromby

And once again the end of the year catches us completely off guard. Who would have expected the year to have so few days? We are busy shaking out the bowling alley and getting the beds warm for the arrival of this year's residents of our cozy Nachtiville. 

We're already testing the floors and Cromby (@cromby) has kneaded us a mix from the finest of his record bags. The crowd favorite will be playing on THE TANGLE floor, one of our new floors, in January. Until then, sweeten your time with his Nachtipod, full of booty shaking tunes and a wild, great mix of house and acid. Have fun listening in!

Berlin-via-Belfast artist Cromby announces the launch of his new label Potency Records as a home for his rave and acid-infused productions made with the dancefloor in mind. Launching with ‘Potency 001’ on the 9th October, the EP follows on from releases on Feel My Bicep and Unknown to the Unknown.

The three-track EP opens with the highly sought after ‘Shake It’ which has been teased in sets over the last couple of months including his Streaming From Isolation Boiler Room where he went back-to-back with Sally C, United We Stream session and the brilliant high energy ZeeZout mix. ‘Try Acid’ and ‘Ahhhh’ continue to showcase Cromby’s signature sample love affair, bold basslines and ecstatic melodies.

Talking about Potency Cromby says, "I wanted to start the label as a creative outlet for my own explorations between the realms of house, techno and acid, combining old school rhythms with new school flavours. I’m excited to team up with an old friend and amazing illustrator Chris Martin to portray the label's art vision. Expect plenty of larger than life trippy record sleeves!"

Repping the Irish flag across continents, Cromby played his debut Stateside show earlier this year at Good Room New York and has become a Panorama Bar closing legend with several 10-hour+ stints. Other key dates include Robert Johnson, Wilderness Festival, AVA, fabric and Printworks.

Cromby’s career is on a steep upward trajectory; the Irish DJ and producer who calls Berlin home, has played at major clubs and festivals all over the world including esteemed venues like Robert Johnson, The Warehouse Project, fabric
and Boiler Room. Becoming a regular at Panorama Bar, he’s been tasked with handling the infamous closing set on numerous occasions, twice keeping the club open past midday on Monday, a testament to his selector skills and the
depth of his record collection.

Cutting his teeth holding down a six-year residency at the legendary Shine in Belfast, Cromby’s first record came out in 2012 on New York’s The Love Revolution. Following this came two releases on Berlin’s Tenderpark and a relocation to Berlin via London. He enjoyed pivotal years in 2018 and 2019, releasing on three ground-breaking labels; Sulta Selects
Silver Service, Feel My Bicep and Unknown To The Unknown.

Despite the collective challenges faced, Cromby has continued to ascend in recent times. During the summer of 2020 he launched his own imprint Potency, aimed at exploring different realms of house, techno and acid. Combining old
school rhythms with new school flavours, the debut release was led by ‘Shake It’, which despite the lack of dancefloors, became a fan favourite throughout the year. Additionally, he was tapped by Hör to become a resident and continues to
play quarterly sets for the beloved streaming crew from Neuköln’s most famous bathroom. When a nomination came for Breakthrough Artist of the Year in DJ Mag’s Best of British Awards at the end of ‘20, it came as little surprise to
those in the know.

The two years have seen Cromby begin a monthly radio show with Berlin’s community initiative Refuge Worldwide, alongside debuting on one of techno’s longstanding tastemaker labels, Rekids. Another notable highlight has been ‘Qué
Sientes’ featuring vocalist Tee Amara, his maiden release for Erol Alkan’s iconic Phantasy Sound imprint. The EP stands as a crucial step in the Irish artist’s development and was lauded throughout the industry. A critically acclaimed follow up ‘Loving’ landed in late January 2022, picking up plaudits including DJ Mag’s Staff Picks tune of the month and a spot in RA’s best releases in February round-up.

The long-awaited Potency 002 dropped finally in February 2022, presenting a trio of tracks – ‘Obsessed’, ‘Excavator’ and‘Body Rush’, which reinforced his broad all-night appeal: "I wanted an EP that you can reach for in every dancefloor situation and imagined what it would be like in certain moments - the euphoric hands in the air one, the after-hours roller, and the straight up acid cut.”

A debut on Craigie Knowes titled ‘Freaks on Speed’ was another 2022 high point, before the Irish artist resumed a busy touring schedule with highlights including a debut US tour, Robert Johnson, Blitz in Munich, Lux Fragil in Lisbon,
Shelter in Amsterdam, Nation of Gondwana, Australia’s iconic Pitch Music & Arts Festival, plus a trio of standout sessions at Panorama Bar, reinforcing his position as one of the club’s vital go-to artists.

The new year sees a string of Potency EPs lined up for release, alongside a return to Rekids with a thrilling three-tracker ‘Skyboy’.
