Salut everybody... after 4 years of hiding in the shadows with a label emphasis on letting the music speak for itself and only unveiling artist names two months after release date we can now pull back the velvet curtain to reveal the two people behind Cod3 QR. Both deliver a track each on the label’s 10th release... ladies and gentleman... Cod3 QR is Laurent Garnier and Scan X.
After much speculation, the cat is finally out of the bag. Laurent is of course one of the greatest techno artists on the planet, having rocked every club and festival many times over. Whilst his legendary status has been catalogued recently both in words (the book ‘Electrochock’) and this year’s documentary film ‘Off The Record’ he remains as ever dedicated to the music first and foremost.
Laurent’s partner in crime, Stéphane Dri a.k.a. Scan X is one of the original pioneers of the French techno scene. His career began in 1993 when he released his first two EPs on FNAC MUSIC before signing to the now legendary F Communications run by Eric Morand and a certain Mnsr. Garnier.
Leading by example they have both contributed to the label’s tenth release. Laurent’s slice of dancefloor techno on ‘How d'ya like your Beef’ is as funky and emotional as we have come to expect from France’s electronic ambassador. While Scan X’s ‘Internal’ drags us into the murky depths with piercing sonar like stabs showing the way. The EP is rounded off by Italian producers Speaking Minds & Amarcord collaborating on the deeper rolling sonics of ‘Poliritmo’ whilst finally we head to Uruguay with the exquisite, string-laden techno funk of Diego Infanzon’s ‘Bye Bye’. A stunning conclusion.

youANDme - "PPPPP" (2022 Diva Mix) / Rhythm Cult Rec.

Hooj Tunes! If you were around in the 90s and early 00s this record label will need no introduction; a pioneering imprint responsible for so many seminal dance records, they were hugely influential on us as young ravers and DJs. When we heard they were relaunching we were buzzing. We also knew we had the right record to send them… 

Back in 1992, Paul Van Dyk and Cosmic Baby released a few records under the name The Visions of Shiva. One track was Perfect Day, which we played often. A couple of years ago we decided to cover it, just for our own DJ sets really, but after seeing the reactions we thought it might see a release one day, if the right label came along. This year marks 30 years since the original was released on MFS, so it seems fitting that everything fell in place for Hooj to release our 30 Year Tribute version today. 

Solid DJ support on promo from DJs including Sasha, Job Jobse, Dam Swindle, Justin Robertson and Optimo, who said “30 years since Perfect Day came out?! Oh my! Was such a fave of mine back then. Ace and pleasingly faithful tribute."

It’s out now on a VA alongside new music from Jaydee and Nicole Moudaber, so check it out on Bandcamp, or wherever you buy your music >>>

‘Day One’ aptly leads the way with swaggering kicks and a filtered string sample that rises triumphantly right in the centre of the mix, bringing everything together with powerful drama.

Radio Slave demand we ‘Wake Up’ on Rekids this May. 

Following the recent ‘Strobe Queen’ and ‘Wild Life’ releases, Radio Slave continues to push against the grain. Revisiting his love of lower tempos and long but engaging arrangements, the Rekids boss further explores his love of House and Disco sounds that proliferated his early work on ‘Wake Up’, a grooving and hypnotic NY-inspired cut. 

“The latest in a series, my new single is a kaleidoscopic, back to the future, dub disco song about signing music in the music industry and I guess sometimes we all need to “wake up”. I’ve tried to illustrate this with the photo of a plastic dolphin trash can.” - Radio Slave 

Radio Slave aka Matt Edwards is one of dance music’s undisputed heavyweights. Having made his name as a DJ in the 90s, he went on to become the king of edits, twisting pop, R&B and indie cuts into essential versions that consistently set clubs alight. Since the mid-2000s, Edwards’ originals have helped define modern dance music, tackling techno, house, breakbeat, minimal and disco whilst exploring dub, balearic sounds and ambient across the myriad of other aliases and projects.

When John Tejada releases new music, it's always a good moment for pricking up your ears. Like hardly anyone else, Tejada is always able to reinvent himself without losing the high recognition value. His brand new 3-tracker "Wild Ride" shows him without a doubt in spring mood. Opener "Vereor" is a good-humored, razor-sharp tech-funker in classic Tejada style. "Wild Ride" and "Infinism" harken back to the sound of the formative Kompakt years, when artists like Dettinger, Jonas Bering and SCSI-9 defined a new minimal sound that was as elegant as it was emotional, and which feels surprisingly contemporary again in Kompakt's thirtieth year.

Short Info:

The Cacao crew pay their respects to their favourite classic tunes. While we’re constantly flooded by daily rapid-fire releases, there are some timeless gems that always ignite the dancefloors. The following tracks come from influential artists that have left their mark on the Cacao team’s sound world, blending perfectly into their sets. 
At number one we have Rodriguez Jr. of the mobilee family with his Kids of Hula belter. A playful groove serves as centerpiece, dotted by exotic fauna sounds that reach for the tropics. Alternating percussive pads, the fittingly tribal drums bring the entire melody together, making it a perfect peak-time track.
Dub Taylor’s aptly titled Hidden From the Mind showcases a fully immersive tribal experience. Kicking off with wooden percussive loops that make for an instant earworm, we’re gradually greeted with distorted vocals and an ample groove that blend into the perfect dub tech journey.

The first B-side takes us further into the house jungle, with youANDme’s deep edit of Lawrence & Seth Troxler’s Miles in Aphrika. A stern echoed vocal presents itself as the leitmotif, while the melody progressively unfolds. Metallic pads and subtle synth grabs add to the atmosphere, creating a sense of space and amping up the overall intensity.
Audiofly turn Martin Eyerer and Benno Blome’s Piano Roll into a jazzy house exploration with major dancefloor appeal. Bouncy yet deep, the bassline keeps the body moving, while the {Rhodes} piano chords create the perfect immersive groove. One to heat up the atmosphere at any point during a set!
