French-based label Cielo Records is a techno project from JC Laurent that has so far been a vessel for his own cutting-edge ideas and diverse taste.

Having over ten years of production experience to his name, JC Laurent has released on the likes of Coyu's Suara, Abstract Division's Dynamic Reflection, and Deepak Sharma's Hidden Recordings amongst others.

Na Nich is a Ukranian artist who features with the solo remix here and can be found on the mighty Delsin Records, Svreca's Semantica, Viels' End of Perception and his own Rhythm Büro.

Starting with "Comet" it's a melting pot of dub techno and modular sound effects with an ethereal, analogue presence.

Second up is the "Comet (Na Nich Remix)" which adds an even more dreamy textures to some elements turning it into a dystopian soundscape.

"Nothing But An Illusion" steps into a slightly leftfield approach with cyclical tones, shuffling beat and a sci-fi aesthetic.

The final track titled "The Switch" is an overall deeper facet of techno that intertwines with a looming intensity.

'An unlikely place for outsiders and outcasts to find their place in the world. Nostalgia for happenings in small hockey arenas, community halls, and empty warehouses in which kids came together to embark on a sublime experience, something completely anew. 403 is the location of some of my most beloved memories of dance music.   403 EP is dedicated to those feelings, emotions and discovery’s that drive my current states of creativity.

AQR024 // 747 - Veiltail/Stairway

A: Veiltail
B: Stairway

Three years have passed since 747 last set-free works from his studio. He makes the wait well worthwhile as he emerges with two exquisitely dreamy and emotionally charged compositions in this cinched two-track record.

Opening with the A, 'Veiltail' immerses into the depths of an abyssal realm, where distorted, crunchy synths echo like sonar pulses in the darkness of an underwater cathedral. Amidst the depths, solacing hymn-like pads gently weave through the ethereal atmosphere, crafting a transcendent tale of introspection and longing.

On the B-side, 'Stairway' ascends upward to celestial realms. Guided by broken beats and a minor chord progression, the whining lead extends an ethereal arm, a beacon on the misty mountain. A break in the sky unveils beaming lights, a beckoning call to the heavens where euphoric arpeggios await; self-actualization is realized.

Canada’s @747 returns to Aquaregia with a two-track, dreamy and emotionally charged 303 record.

A key contributor to Emily Nicoll’s Aquaregia, 747, known best for his ‘Aurora Centralis’ EP on the label, now finally reveals the much-anticipated ‘Veiltail / Stairway’ two-tracker, his first release on the imprint since 2021’s ‘While My 303 Gently Weeps’.

Opening with the A-side, 747’s ‘Veiltail’ explores abyssal depths where distorted, crunchy synths echo like sonar pulses in the darkness. Solacing hymn-like pads gently weave through its otherworldly soundscapes, crafting a tale of introspection and longing and making for the perfect sunrise track, iconically heard in his early-hours set at Germany’s Fusion Festival last year.

On the flip, ‘Stairway’ is guided by punchy, broken beats and a minor chord progression, its whining lead extending like a beacon. Beaming lights beckon and call to the skies where euphoric arpeggios await, closing out another excellent release from 747 and making the three-year wait since his last studio work well worthwhile.

747 ‘Veiltail / Stairway’ EP releases via Aquaregia 22nd March 2024.

Veiltail / Stairway EP

PREMIERE: 747 - Veiltail [Aquaregia]

Tresor Records are excited to announce the new EP from machine techno luminary Lady Starlight aka Colleen Martin. Capricorn Rising comprises five razor-sharp cuts from the acclaimed producer, DJ, and Surgeon co-conspirator whose laser-focused work ethic reflects the EP's astrological namesake. 

Capricorn Rising is anchored by the record's most propulsive, trance-inducing cut, "Mass;" an off-kilter conversation between chattering birds and a breathing sample that makes for an otherworldly melody. "I wanted to create a feeling rather than a sound," explains Martin of the catalyst for the record. 

Martin describes the recording of Capricorn Rising as a cathartic process. "I thought of myself as fearless since I have always rejected societal norms and I'm very comfortable expressing ideas," she offers. "However, I realised I actually had a lot of fear when expressing anything emotional." 

The EP is the outcome of shaking off that fear. Using her feelings as a guide, Martin creates a space somewhere between euphoria, dissociation, and wonder. "This is where I hope to take the listener," she says. 

This emotional liberation peaks on "Reinforce," which sidesteps towards extraterrestrial acid and swirling, cosmic pads that reach for a new dimension. Meanwhile, "Chapter 23" is an industrial-dipped roller that creaks with eerie atmospherics before erupting into a meteor shower of kicks. This percussive workout continues on "Prism," which makes a plea for bodily oblivion. 

Martin often closes out her live sets with the EP's euphoric title track; a seamless, starry-eyed slammer that encapsulates the headiness of the Lady Starlight universe. Oiled and limbered for the dancefloor, these are dynamic, teflon-tough techno tracks that deftly align with Martin's virtuosic hardware performances.
