Return of the Jaded & Karsten Sollors feat. Dread MC - Acid Freq

Spectrum welcomes another rising star to the family in Belgian DJ/Producer Hawkeys, a fast-emerging talent already catching the attention of heavyweights including Solomun, Joseph Capriati, and Joris Voorn.

Hawkeys transmits his most electrifying signal yet with the forthcoming release of new single, 'Morse Code'. Built around an addictive, staccato synth riff and a driving low-end pulse, the track delivers an immediate jolt to the dancefloor.

'Morse Code is a track that speaks groove in a digital, synthesized language,' says Hawkeys. 'The melody almost feels like it's talking to you - like it's transmitting a message.'

The inspiration for the track struck after Hawkeys witnessed Solomun's monumental 2024 set at Parc du Cinquantenaire in Brussels. 'There was this raw, magnetic energy in his performance that stayed with me,' he adds. 'When I got back to the studio, that feeling became the heartbeat of 'Morse Code'.'

The single cements Hawkeys as one of Belgium's most promising new exports - a producer fluent in the universal language of dancefloor communication.

With early live support from Solomun, Zafrir & Mila Journée hit hard with “Pas,” a high-voltage melodic-techno peak-time weapon loaded with punch. Powerful kick, rolling bass, razor-sharp percussion and hypnotic synth energy lock in fast — and French vocal cuts slice through the mix like a trigger, charging every groove with instant tension and drive.

Made for DJs chasing peak-time energy and dancefloors that won’t stop moving, “Pas” lands on 1001 Recordings as a global-grade club banger — raw, relentless and perfect for main-room takeovers.

Zafrir, Mila Journée - Pas

Having developed an impeccable reputation in the past twenty years since delving into the word of turntables and mixtapes at an early age, Sims can be called a genuine legend in the world of techno. As a producer he has remixed Jeff Mills, Chris Liebing, Adam Beyer and Kevin Saunderson as well as releasing on just about every seminal techno imprint there is. As an A&R he’s been at the helm of nine labels, including the highly influential Ingoma and KB Records inc, and continues to steward Theory and Hardgroove towards the boxes of the discerning fans. 

Most recently the London-based producer has seen his ‘Way Back Wednesday’ (with Tony Anderson), ‘Funk You’ and occasional disco radio shows garner huge support while ploughing further energy into the futurist techno club night “Machine’ alongside Kirk Degiorgio. 

It’s with Sims’ multitude of achievements and notoritey in mind that the knowledge that ‘Smoke & Mirrors’ is his debut LP is somewhat unbelievable, but fact it is. After initially hooking up with Adam Beyer’s Drumcode imprint late in 2010 after a long standing friendship, the affable and dry witted Sims’ was persuaded to deliver an LP and the lengthy writing and selection process began. The result is 11 superb productions which showcase Ben’s talents, influences and perhaps most importantly, his vision of what techno can and should be. 

From the off ‘Smoke & Mirrors’ is a technicolour affair that refuses to sit too comfortably into one groove, preferring to pull the listener through a range of vibes that, while disparate, flow together perfectly. As the album moves, snippets of new vibes bleed through before developing into themes and this is one of the brilliant elements of ‘Smoke & Mirrors’.  

The rousing and prophetically titled ‘Riots in London’ opener leads us into a frenetic, dub-tinged and filter-driven aesthetic which is neatly carried on in ‘Descent’ but subtly augmented with almost-there soulful vocal samples. This nod to soulful elements is then carried on in the less pacey, house referencing ‘ The Snake’ which fuses stabbing keys to a skipping beat which is as much New York as it is Detroit, London or Berlin. 

As ‘Smoke & Mirrors’ develops, suprises like the out-and-out tech-funk of ‘Back To The Pod’ and the street party disco of ‘Can You Feel It?’ are hinted at but never lack surprise when dropped. The emphatic drive of the huge sounding ‘I Wanna Go Back’ featuring Blake Baxter takes things back to techno territory and does so with real purpose while darker edged tracks such as the lethal ‘Bullet’ and the late-night discordance of  ‘The Afterparty’ ramp up the tension. 

The twilight sections of Sims’ debut are perfectly judged. The dubbed (and blissed) out title track lightens the mood before the slightly more aggressive but widescreen ‘The Calling’ trips proceedings out in anticipation of the closer, the Tyree Cooper vocalled and aptly titled ‘I Feel It Deep’

‘Smoke & Mirrors’ has been more than worth the wait. It’s as balanced, entertaining, engaging and powerful as you’d expect from such an artist as Ben Sims and, complete with artwork from Alan Oldham and collaborations from Blake Baxter and Tyree Cooper, is essential stuff.
