There’s no room to argue, Joseph Capriati has enjoyed his finest year to date and his escalation as one the principle profiles in techno knows no boundaries. 

The Napoli-born firebrand has just completed a stunning season in Ibiza as a resident of Marco Carola’s Music On at Amnesia. Anyone who caught him play the main room this season will agree – his special ability to combine an infectious stage presence, with razor sharp DJ skills draws techno fans to dancefloor like bees to a honey pot. No wonder island legend Carola’s handpicked him to perform on 8 separate occasions, more than any other artist this season. 

Combine this momentum with an outstanding 2013 that already saw him headline his first coast-to-coast tour of the US, play a historic 12 hour set at the Metropolis in Napoli, plus headline every major techno festival on the planet, the time couldn’t be better for Capriati to unleash ‘Self Portrait’, his sophomore LP. 

Already ingrained in the consciousness of techno lovers this year thanks to ‘Fratello’ and ‘Awake’ the pair of searing dancefloor slayers that were released in June as the album’s first singles, ‘Self Portrait’ goes deeper than the club stormers the Italian is famed for. Over 11 future-facing tracks, Capriati displays his deft production skill to supersede his reputation for bodyslamming dancefloors. 

Tracks such as ‘Electrolytic’, the album’s atmospheric opener evokes mood with a barrage of steely synths, gritty drums and industrial beats, while ‘Self Portrait’, the typically reflective album title track is an understated ambient gem led by warm trickles of melody that pairs nicely with ‘Naked’ which exhibits the producer’s deft skills for moulding sparse stripped back minimal that kicks along with cheeky vox and shuffling percussion. 

He further reinforces his ability to create addictive club rollers with the quirky, squiggly groover ‘Easy Come Easy Go’, while the masterful ‘Basic Elements’, chugs along with rattling industrial percussion before giving way to a sublime wall of melody that’s just the kind of genius fare that gets his diehard fans raising Italian flags inscribed with ‘JOSEPH CAPRIATI KING OF TECHNO’ regularly at this gig. And with an album this good, who are we to argue?

INTEC CELEBRATES 50TH RELEASE WITH
CARL COX – ‘KOMMEN ZUSAMMEN’
Inc. JOSEPH CAPRIATI REMIX
OUT 5 MARCH 2014
 
On March 5th 2014, the seminal Techno imprint Intec will celebrate its milestone 50th release in the form of ‘Kommen Zusammen’ from none other than the label’s creator himself, the legendary Carl Cox. 
‘Kommen Zusammen’ is a well selected offering to mark this monumental occasion and a great representation of the Intec. The track first featured on Carl’s acclaimed artist album ‘All Roads Lead To The Dancefloor’ and now boasts an exclusive re-rub from the very in-demand Joseph Capriati.

Carl Cox: “It’s fantastic Intec has reached its 50th landmark release and we’re eternally grateful for the praise the label frequently receives. Jon has done an amazing job handling A&R with me and we’ve worked very hard to build the great roster of talent that we are very proud to represent. We are very pleased that Joseph could do this mix for us, we could not of asked for more from him.”
Intec’s dedication to quality has been paramount to its success, which has remained consistent throughout its first inception and its re-birth in 2010, and has enabled it to rise to the forefront of the global dance music scene. Jon Rundell says “We just want to put out reliable and solid releases in a good way. We have had some really memorable releases and moments already so far and we will continue to work hard to keep creating them for people.”
Throughout the years, Intec has prided itself on releasing music from a diverse array of talented producers, with EPs from the likes of Daryl Stay, Pirupa, Dosem, Nicole Moudaber, The Junkies, Mark Reeve, Marco Bailey & Filterheadz, Tomy DeClerque, Carlo Lio and Project AKC plus the label bosses themselves.

The last 12 months have proved particularly significant for Intec, with two major developments under their belt. First, the re-birth of their ‘Pure Intec’ compilation series and second, the conception of their highly successful globetrotting ‘Pure Intec’ club night, which has taken over some of the world’s best clubs and, returns to London’s Fabric for the second time on April 3rd. 
‘Kommen Zusammen’ is available on Beatport exclusively from March 5th and the rest of the world a few weeks later.  Please preview the release HERE.

Bart Skils returns to Drumcode with his third solo release, ‘Shadowprint’. Consisting of Bart’s famous rolling drums and bass rhythms he has crafted an EP that is exceptionally functional. With each track Bart has added character by introducing vocals, interesting melodies and deep percussion to keep it interesting. The EP is made up of 3 peak time tracks that are eloquently put together. ‘My Part Of Town’ is a bit deeper from Bart and contrast’s well to the rest of the EP with it’s melodic bass line.

Gregor Tresher kicks off 2015 looking to break new soil with his first ever full release for John Digweed's Bedrock Records. 

Last year was as hectic as ever for the Gregor and he came into it on high from the success of his artist album Nightcolours and having closed out 2013 by releasing an astonishing Laurent Garnier remix of the title track, on his own imprint. 

Time to relax a little maybe? Not a chance. January saw the remixed version of the album hit the stores and this was backed within a few weeks by 'Taurus', Gregor's enticing collaboration with Petar Dundov. The summer saw him remix the Chymera classic 'Shadowdancer' and he closed 2014 with the superb 'Midas / Disturber' double-header. 

Somewhat of a musical chameleon, Tresher is as at home creating deeper shades of house for the likes of Moon Harbour and Ovum as he is techno rhythms for Music Man, Cocoon and Drumcode. 

With label boss Digweed a huge fan, Bedrock is yet another perfect fit for the German and he opens his account with the mighty, melodic and Kraken'esque 'Goliath' and the razor-sharp lightning bolt that is 'Stormblade'.

Now this is how you celebrate your label's 50th release! To celebrate MOOD's half century of dispatches since launching almost five years ago, Nicole Moudaber has revisited her monolithic mind-melt with the don of all dons, Carl Cox. An unabashed dark drama workout originally released in 2014, the cheekily-titled 'See You Next Tuesday' is considered a classic by many and still elevates floors to insane highs to this day. As will these remixes…

Commissioned to highlight the label's milestone release, MOOD have pulled out every single stop possible with some of the most exciting and innovative names of all time and every shade of the techno palette is splashed across this epic eight track trove. The one and only Danny Tenaglia takes us back to Twilo with his hip-swinging bassline and hypnotic prowess; the unstoppable tech house duo Solardo get twisted with just the right levels of jack attack; Truncate fixes our focus on the visceral physical techno energy; Trunkline get carnal with a tribal rawness; Black Asteroid super-charge the groove with a palpable electric sizzle; Raxon flips the groove into a driven, warm techno roller that doesn't quit from here till next Tuesday.

Complete with both original versions, this eight-track odyssey between two kindred spirits doesn't just celebrate MOOD's 50th release but revels in everything that's exciting and thriving about techno past, present and future. Here's to the next 50 MOOD dispatches!

Carl Cox is an industry figure head whos legacy in music includes his iconic label Intec, which he runs with friend and business partner Jon Rundell.

This latest offering from Intec features two new and previously unreleased remixes of Carl Coxs classic track Your Light Shines On.

Your Light Shines On was originally released in 2016 as part of Intecs landmark 100th release, and the two new heavyweight remixes are provided by Pan-Pot plus Chus & Ceballos.

German duo Pan-Pot to most fans of the techno genre need little introduction having first made a name for themselves on Anja Schneiders Mobilee, before starting their own successful label known as Second State.

Spanish collaborators Chus & Ceballos focus their sound more towards house music, and along with releases on their own label Stereo Productions, have also featured on imprints including Toolroom and Defected.

Carl Coxs original version of Your Light Shines On has an underlying techno groove with tribal percussion plus Jamaican style steel drums, and each of the remix artists has focused on the elements most commonly associated with their genre in order to make the track their own.

It also uses synth stabs help to enforce this trippy, hypnotising ambiance that moulds the track together.
