Having studied music production and sound design before becoming a DJ and producer, Paul Neary is hardly a neophyte in the music scene.

Based in England, Paul was a finalist at Dubfire’s Best Producer Competition. He also has the support of Richie Hawtin, playing his tracks at Timewarp, Sonus, Berghain, and Sunwaves to name a few!

Specializing in minimal techno, Paul pushes the boundaries through his unique sound design, with the drums and the bass taking center stage. “Less is more” is his concept, with tracks steadily gaining pace and building tension through the use of evolving minimal sounds.

Paul’s tracks tend to take on a dark and spooky minimal style, fusing haunting percussion and delays which carry the melody. Those peculiarities are his true signature, and « Livid », the new EP being released from Curiosity Music is the quintessential example of it. In the four original tracks, Neary creates a somber and uncompromising universe, somewhere between ecstasy and stress, psychedelic sounds, and incisive beat. He plays with our emotions as well as he plays with his machines, having mastered the art of tension in his musical productions.

For lovers of remixes, « Livid » by Paul Neary does not disappoint. Now, Berliner, the Scottish Hc Kurtz offers a progressive and deeply more techno version of « Avalanche » while the promising New Yorker Dustin Holtsberry remixes « Inception », with soaring peaks and plunging lows, held together by round, punchy snares.

Minimal techno lovers and unique sound diggers, this EP is for you! Save the date and discover these tracks on June 4th from every platform!

Curiosity Music puts Japan in the spotlight with DJ M.A.X’s « Into Space » EP

Based in Tokyo, DJ M.A.X started his career in the 90’s as a member of a punk and metal band before diving headfirst into the electronic music scene. Blown away by psychedelic trance music, he became sound engineer for major Tokyo clubs, including Ageha, Unit, and Loop, where his exceptional ability for sound recognition clearly influences his DJ Mix dexterity. DJ M.A.X has released on many international labels (Hypnotic Room, Achromatiq, Ballroom Records, Totem Traxx, and Psykometrik to name a few) and for the first time, he signed with a French label—Curiosity Music. It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that Curiosity Music announces DJ M.A.X’s brand new EP, « Into Space ».

Four original tracks compose « Into Space », a journey through a dark yet powerful techno. Mixing incisive snares with strong kicks, mechanical synths, and soaring melodic strings, DJ M.A.X creates a parallel dimension where time is suspended and reality melting, a mental ebullition, leaving us craving for more. His timeless and spacy grooves are made to be revelled on the big sound systems of an underground rave, to reach its full potential.

An EP from Curiosity Music wouldn’t be complete without a few remixes. For « Into Space », the duo from Toulouse (FR) T O C H E offers a slower but enveloping remix of the main track « Into Space », a thrilling time bomb that you won’t get enough of. The great Jon Cataldo on his side remixed « Blacksmith » in an intense, fast and liberating version that will leave you with no other choice but to dance to it.

The Deals & Siles - Backstage (Justin James Cabaret Mix)

Two years ago, natives from Cáceres, Spain, Esteban, and Mario started Sacred Lines. Sharing the same vision, their music is the synergy between their two different styles. Mixed to create poetic techno, nurtured by a mixture of old sounds with futuristic tones. This is what this new EP « Squirt » exudes. Four original mixes of infectious melodies and intense basslines, where the arpeggiator synth becomes both colorful and incisive. In addition, the track « Savage » is remixed by Loïs, an extremely talented french producer and founder of the DJ Art School in Bordeaux; and the track « Brave » is remixed by Vazik, the electronic Mexican Nugget!
