@craigie-knowes is more than just a record label; it’s a living, breathing organism.

From tales of shunning “serious” protocol by inviting local Scottish heroes to MC at landmark shows to the endless challenges of hunting down old gems to repress, we sat down with Max and Mitch to find out more. Speaking on how they find the humour in their mistakes, their advice for labels facing vinyl pressing delays and expanding upon the significance behind their exclusive accompanying mix, they provided a techno-based offering that examines the genre's development from the 80s all the way into the current day.

Welcome back to Timecheck ⏰, a mix series where we dive into old, sometimes overlooked music scenes. This time, we take a flight, high above the clouds, with the power of early 2000s progressive house. ✈️
It's one of those genres, which is capable of completely clearing the dance floor, but why? It has all the elements needed to create a long, euphoric night. Hard hitting bassdrums, tribal rhythms, chugging basslines, spacey pads, mysterious vocals and dubby, out of this world chords. 🌙 In a sense, it is a combination of house and trance, with the soulful, booty-shaking elements toned down. 
But the trax are long, monotonous, and these days when we lack patience, it's hard to find time to truly appreciate the hypnotic effect progressive house can provide. So if you have some time, allow me to take you to the skies, with my favourite progz from the early 2000s. 🎵

Ps.: Feel free to ask for track ids in the comments. 🧡

In anticipation of Love International 2022, we’re launching Transmission to Tisno – a b2b mix series featuring festival favourites and new artists locked in for this year’s fifth anniversary event.

Touching down with a bag of heavy-duty heaters, Manami and Tai Lokun position themselves at the intersection between house, techno and the broader brush strokes of percussion-driven material in this dynamic mix. A non-stop frenzy of dancefloor-certified cuts spun by a pair of future stars.

Bjeor is a Leuven-born, Brussels-based, house-minded deejay. Steadily paving his way during the past ten years, Bjeor conquered the Belgian electronic music scene inch by inch, setting numerous dj booths and dancefloors on fire during so. Some highlights: various appearances at Horst, his Boiler Room debut in Brussels, an everlasting after-hours trip in Helsinki and peak time slots in Paris and Lille. Juggling with slow gems, forgotten hits and future classics, Bjeor's got a trick up in every sleeve. He's also a co-founder of pop-up nightclub 'nacht' in STELPLAATS (Leuven). Bjeor prefers to steer clear of the cameras but for Kiosk Radio, he's glad to make an exception.

Nyra's musical output connects all his formative influences. After catching the music bug as a youngster through this mum's record collection, the Sheffield-born DJ and producer went on to properly cut his teeth as a DJ and promoter in the steel city.

Having immersed himself in his hometown's rich musical legacy, he felt motivated to start his own party Downlo back in 2008 which became a pitstop for artists like Ben UFO, Steffi and Efdemin, in turn helping put the city on the underground dance music map.

He then made the move down to his current home base of London, after which he really found his stride with production, releasing music and remixes for Domino, Secretsundaze and, more recently, for Jennifer Cardini's Correspondant label.

The move was the catalyst to launch his own imprint too. Canoe gave Nyra free reign to share everything he'd been working on, from house, techno and breakbeat to synth-laced dance floor workouts, all tied together by a palpable sense of euphoria.

It's a feeling that extends to his DJ sets too, especially as a resident for London-based queer party Adonis. In fact, you can hear for yourselves on today's mix which was recorded live at one of the club nights last year. From classic to deep, vocal and hip - it's house music in its many forms and it's gonna put a smile on your face.

Tony Neptune once again takes us on a voyage through time and space. 

This week's addition to our mix series is a four hour excursion through a plethora of sonic realms. Notorious on-site at Dimensions for his marathon B2B's with Mark ‘Turbo’ Turner, you'll find hi-tech soul, booty, electro and some three-deck wizardry scattered throughout.

Tony Neptune is a multi-media persona created by the Leeds-based artist and producer Sam Jefferies who, inspired by the narrative and musical legacies of early Detroit techno culture, aims to tell a complete story for the senses through a combination of image, sound and text. His debut EP 'Reflections On A Daring Escape' is an exciting statement and an exquisite example of his imagination and creativity - available for pre-order now (out 11th September 2020).
