EPM Podcast 147 comes from UK techno artist, Regis. Karl O’Connor has remained a maverick and iconic figure on the global techno stage, ever since his 'Montreal' EP burned his name across the world's dancefloors some 25 years ago. His unconventional and single-minded label, Downwards, often shrouded by mythology, remains one of the most revered electronic labels in the history of techno. So when Karl offered to cast a critical eye over some of the key releases in EPM’s 20 year history we of course jumped at the chance to invite Birmingham’s finest over. A decision that we have subsequently regretted ever since.

With a wide array of influences, which go far beyond the musical universe; the painter Val Denham, writers and authors Samuel Beckett, Eza Pound, Jean Genet and Georges Bataille, music wise, his source of inspiration includes Einsturzende Neubauten, Pussy Galore, Stooges, Johnny Thunders, John Cale, Sex Gang Children, World Domination Enterprise, XON/Sweet Exorcist, etc. He has been quoted saying: "The things that I liked were made by people who had actually been making music since the post-punk era, if not before." 

Never one to tread the easy path, O'Connor alongside known projects such as British Murder Boys (with Surgeon), O/V/R with James Ruskin and Sandwell District alongside Function and Silent Servant has more recently collaborated with artists such as Ann Margaret Hogan (piano) and Justin K. Broadrick on guitar (previously of Godflesh) for a one-off concert performed live in the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus, Argolis, Greece as well as releasing last year's stunning new album 'In This Is The Light That You Miss' on Downwards.  In his continuous search to side-step convention, he remains one of the more highly regarded creative forces within the British techno/electronic scene.

Now over 20 years after their creation EPM are proud to release 'Beyond the Reach of Time'. An EP that gives long-lost Regis tracks the official release they deserve as the closing chapter in our EPM20 vinyl series. ‘EPM20’ is out now.

Regis – 'Beyond the Reach of Time' is out now on EPMmusic.
