Gary Beck - Hopkins / Mark Ernestus Meets BBC (Gary Beck Edit) [Unreleased]

In 2008, British-born techno pioneer Richie Hawtin plucked 17 producers from obscurity and featured their work on a special newcomers compilation.

For many of them, it was their debut release on Hawtin's respected Minus label. For all of them, it was a major opportunity for their electronic music careers.

With the backing of such a formidable DJ as Hawtin, much speculation was made about the possible futures of these young and talented producers. Out of the 17, it is arguably Glasgow-based producer and DJ Gary Beck who has made the most impact so far.

In the three years since 'Richie Hawtin Presents Sounds From Can Elles', Gary Beck's music has reached many of techno's most respected labels including Slam's Soma Records, Len Faki's Figure, Nic Fancuilli's Saved Records, Speedy J's Electric Deluxe, and Sven Väth's Cocoon.

Beck has also DJed at some of the world's most important dancefloors like Tresor and Berghain in Berlin, Amsterdam's Awakenings, London's Ministry of Sound, Glasgow's Sub Club, and Chicago's Smart Bar.

And perhaps most impressively of all, Gary Beck's set at Scotland's Rockness festival in June 2010 was broadcast as an Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1, an important milestone for any serious dance music performer.

But what is the secret to Gary Beck's ongoing success? Why has he progressed further than any of the other 16 Richie Hawtin-backed producers ?

"People really started to take notice of me when Minus released 'Consumed'," says Gary Beck. "It was a big surprise when Richie called asking to sign the track. I was always confident that something was going to happen with my tracks but this release was more than I expected at the time. It gave me extra belief in my productions."

The release, Gary Beck says, was like a catalyst and pushed him ever deeper down the production hole. But rather than try to replicate the 'Consumed' formula, Beck concentrated on finding his own sound, not that that is ever an easy task.

"Finding my own style has probably been the toughest challenge of my career," he says. "There is so much music out there, I had to be unique. I wanted to create a sound that people would instantly recognize as a Gary Beck production."

Envoy | Dark Manoeuvres Soma25 Remixes  - [SOMA474D]

4.	Dark Manoeuvres (@Tensal Remix)

Soma proudly present the first in an exciting series of releases to celebrate 25 years at the top of electronic music as we turn to some of our favourite modern artists to reinvent some of the best from the back catalogue and up first is Envoy’s timeless classic, Dark Manoeuvres. Originally released as part of the “Coalition EP’ in 1996 (which also featured the classic Seawall), Hope Grant’s instantly recognisable hit is still found in nearly every Techno DJs record box and has continually served as a beacon of Soma since it’s release Four new versions are served up here as Dax J, Norman Nodge, Obscure Shape & SHDW plus Tensal all deliver fine interpretations of this Soma classic.

Dax’s furious style is the opener as he uses the original chords as they were intended but all the time firing his concussive drum patterns directly to the dance floor. Ostgut Ton’s Norman Nodge turns in a delectable dub version in only the way he can by keeping Envoy’s original muted and delivering a subtle, introverted version. The duo of Obscure Shape & SHDW are next up and delivery one epic take on Dark Manoeuvres. The pair build the tension early, teasing the strings then unleashing an onslaught, adding their own beautifully led, string section before hammering home. PoleGroup’s Tensal closes out our first Soma 25 releases, twisting and cutting the hook to suits his means as thunderous beats work away behind this solid tool.

With much more on the horizon, Soma has their gaze fixed firmly on the future of Techno

Johannes Heil - B2 - Exile007

After taking the roof off 2 Misfit club events now, it seemed right for the Leeds based duo to showcase their slick Techno productions on the club's new record label. 
Paul Maddox & Rich Wakley's studio output as Spektre has continued to propel them to the upper echelons of the Techno world recently with releases on Drumcode, Tronic, Kraftek and Elevate, to name but a few. 
Lead track Gas Mask is a heavy duty slice of peak time Techno. Building atmospherics and precise percussion underpin the track while huge synth stabs and vocals samples build to create serious dancefloor destruction.
For remix duties, Misfit have drafted in Northern Irish Techno titans Loco & Jam. Their take retains all the peak time vibes of the original, but highlights their deeper, groovier style of Techno.
Completing the release is the dark and moody 'Decompression'. Stripped back to the bare essentials and as underground as it gets, the track is pounding and relentless in it's mission!
Yet another high class release from montel & Steve Boyd's new imprint!
