In June we go back to releasing a single, after a very long time of not doing so. EKOU015 is a 2-tracker written by a duo who has been synonym of very unique music and quality, mainly in the deeper territory. We would like to welcome to the label Glÿph! 
 
Glÿph is a project established by two producers, sound engineers and DJ’s – Clearlight and Owl, who have been working together since 2009. From deep, dark, brooding Drum & Bass to perfectly well-programmed percussion experiments, Glÿph has always drawn attention with their unique sounding tunes. 

Having secured themselves on some of the best labels in the scene such as ProgRAM, Symmetry, Overview and Delta9, it’s no wonder the duo is becoming a common name within the community.

The single is composed by "Trust Me", a track written with Division (who has also been on the label before) and "Sequenced". The two tunes will be available for purchase on the 4th of June!

In July we present you a project that has coincidentally started in 2019, as Ekou did. This project is composed by T-Psy, Methaxys, Klash and Odalisq and they go by the name of Evolved. 

Evolved have been releasing music on labels such as Delta 9, T3k and Diascope and we are very glad to be added to this list. They describe their sound as "a mix between futuristic, melodic and deep Drum & Bass" and that can be proved on this "Slow Motion Ep".

The "Slow Motion Ep" is composed by the tracks "Offset", "Slow Motion", "Escape" and "Sometimes I Just" and all of them will be available for purchase on the 2nd of July of 2021.

After the success of our first various artists release, ‘The Voice of EKOU’, we’d like to present to you our next installment, ‘The Full Spectrum’. This project started as an idea to create a platform for up and coming producers, however over the previous months has developed into something that has allowed us to include both newcomers and established artists alike. 
	
In the 2 and a half years since our first release, we’ve been on a constant journey through sound, and have been a platform for a variety of artists, all of whom produce a variety of styles under the drum & bass umbrella. With ‘The Full Spectrum’, we hope to showcase our journey for you, our audience; some of you have been with us from the beginning, others are new to the label - either way we hope you know what to expect!

This is our representation of the full spectrum of drum & bass, and what the genre means to us. We hope you enjoy listening to this massive VA just as much as we did putting it together. 

‘The Full Spectrum’ has 22 tracks, split over 2 parts, and features both newcomers and seasoned artists alike. Part 1 drops exclusively on February 4th via Bandcamp and Beatport, followed two weeks later by Part 2 on February 18th.

For the month of October we've prepared a compilation with some of the regular artists who would release on the label as well as some newcomers that hopefully will be here to stay. We would like to present the "Fragments VA" Compilation. 

This is a very special release because it represents all the different fragments that compose Ekou as an entity - every track is the representation of a sub-genre of drum and bass we really identify ourselves with, giving you the full spectrum of music we would feature on our imprint. 
 
This release is composed by 8 tracks and it counts with the likes of Rizzle, Cerys Ellen, Geostatic, Brainwork, Rift, Phentix, Dan Structure and the Austrian newcomers Healian and TWO XY. This release will be available for purchase on the 14th of October of 2022.

If you’re familiar with the EKOU sonics we push, then you’ll know how much we love getting
behind a beautiful, dark, rolling beat. Our latest release is testament to this, and it comes
courtesy of Manikin, who is debuting on the label with his Iron Mind / Lost In Hiatus single.
Manikin is a name you might have some recollection of after he laid down some very promising
foundations in the scene between 2020 to 2021, releasing on imprints including
SkankandBass, Terra Firma Records and Soullab. But we haven’t heard so much from the
Australia-born artist since. With a string of singles lined up for 2023, Manikin is refreshed and
ready to stamp his name across the drum and bass scene, starting with this single. Packing
high energy rhythms and atmospheric soundscapes, it’s just a taste of what’s to come from a
promising talent with an ear for meticulously crafted deep beats.

Manikin - Iron Mind

At EKOU we love introducing new faces to the label – especially the next wave of producers
who bring a real freshness to the drum and bass scene. Our next release is no different.
Introducing Indukt to the label with his debut EP Absolution. If you love your beats deep, dark
and vibey, then you're going to love the gems this 25-year-old Serbian talent has cooked up.
From the rolling bass growls of "Coalescence" with Tayk to the morphed industrial
soundscape of "Lucid", this EP is one tailor made for the heads. The kind of gritty bangers
you'd expect to hear in the sweatiest of basements. Beautiful. It's no surprise why Indukt will be
performing at his third EXIT Festival this year – an event renowned for it's considered selection
of only the finest music selectors. Keep your eye on this one, he's sure to be spreading roots
throughout Europe in months to come.

It has been a year and 5 months since we've had our first ever release. We wanted to do something special when we've hit the one year mark but unfortunately due to the world being upside down and with all the uncertainty regarding pretty much every aspect of human life, we've had to delay the celebration a little bit. It actually turned out very well and we are over the moon with what we are about to unveil. 

After 11 releases since we started operating we decided it was time to do something we will try to make a tradition of: every year we want to have artists we really look up to remixing tracks that came out on our beloved imprint taking a completely different approach on some of the tunes that make our brand live on. 

For our 1st edition of "The Voice of Ekou - VA Remixes Compilation" we managed to gather 9 artists that are in our eyes the full spectrum of what we have to offer in terms of Drum and Bass. And with no further delays we would like to present the names that actually don't need any introduction. The artists involved in this project are: A K A; Creatures; Ill Truth; Molecular; NickBee, Nymfo, Phentix; Rizzle and last but not least Volatile Cycle. 

Some of these names are some usual suspects in our label and some others are some producers we rate very highly! We hope you like this release as much as we do! Enjoy the 9 awesome remixes these guys came up with. These will be out on the 5th of February. #thisisthevoiceofekou
