EPM Podcast 172 comes from Rommek. As a well-established artist, Rommek has expanded his own sound, carving his way into the current techno and experimental scenes since 2013.  His extensive interest in sound design is crafted within the dense atmospheres, heavy broken rhythms and electrifying tones found within his productions. You can also find these influences in Rommek’s DJ selection, as exemplified here with a mix that goes from frenetic tribal percussion to granular sonic architecture at the flick of a switch. Featuring the likes of Tommy Four Seven, Trunkline, SLV, Benjamin Damage, ANDROM, Damon Vallero, Reeko, Tauceti, Kwartz and more Rommek applies his crafted, electronic detail to a sweat-soaked, smoke-filled rave. 

Rommek joined the seminal Blueprint Records in 2016, releasing five EPs, gaining remixes from label owner James Ruskin, Broken English Club, O/V/R (Ruskin & Regis) and Makaton, which established his position on the map. Since then, a steady output of releases on Leyla Records, Natural Selection, Mord, Hex, Loose Lips and collaborative release with the Spanish duo NX1 has expanded his discography. Fast forward to 2023, Rommek’s creative techniques were pushed further when making his debut on Tommy Four Seven’s - 47 imprint, exploring futuristic techno fused with 180 BPM genre crossovers.

Torn Relics, the experimental project between Rommek + Aimee Mullen was formed during 2018. Their debut EP, The Poisoned Chalice, released on Sacred Court, featured a remix by label owner SNTS. In 2020 the duo’s debut album: Abolish The Dogma, was released on Leyla Records, followed by ‘Burning Injustice’ in 2021 via Instruments of Discipline.
 
Since releasing over 15 EPs, Rommek has gained a wide range of noteworthy support, from BBC Radio 1, to many features and reviews in Mixmag, The Wire, The Quietus and Faze magazine. In 2018 he was featured within the top 100 globally charted artists on Resident Advisor. Furthermore, as a touring DJ, he has played in over 20 countries around the globe. From this, it’s clear that Rommek is driven to continue expanding his capabilities and keep things moving forward.

Rommek’s ‘Set in Stone’ trilogy is currently available from Blueprint as a triple pack release - https://blueprintrecords.bandcamp.com/album/set-in-stone-trilogy

EPM podcast #172 - Rommek

"Earlier this year I was playing at a friend's birthday party in Croatia (hi Allan). He is a connoisseur of electronic music so the people he invited to play were pretty diverse, music style-wise. It's really rare for me to be blown away by someone's set but after me a guy called Odd from Kuala Lumpur started playing and he blew me away to pieces. Not only did he play some of the best techno I heard all year (I didn't recognize a single track) but he did it in a way that I realized I was sorely missing: stable, hypnotic, groovy (actually groovy, not just a big kick and then some afterthoughts behind it), always advancing but also always persuasive in its message.
I hope I channeled a bit of what he did in this set. It's very hard for someone who grew up listening to too much IDM/Braindance to be as patient and consistent as is needed for this type of sets, but I think I managed to meet this very fond memory of a summer morning and my wanderlust for the entire spectrum of emotions and energies somewhere halfway.

Anyways, Odd and Allan - this one is for you."

EPM Podcast 177 comes from Quenum. A lover of music in all its forms, Quenum has an established 30-year career and has gained the respect of techno pioneers as well as the following of the younger generation. From his work as part of Access 58 in the late 90s to setting up Cadenza Records with Luciano in 2001, Quenum has gone on to release on the likes of Transmat, Crosstown Rebels, Cocoon, Fabric and Get Physical. Here for the EPM Podcast he brings his years of techno know how together for a restrained minimal mix that features the likes of Helmut Dubnitzky & Jackspot, Vin Sol & Matrixxman, Paul Woolford, Detroit Grand PuBahs, Damien Almira, D.A.V.E. the Drummer, Ed Davenport and more.

When Quenum settled in London in the 90s he started working with Paulo Nascimento, a studio musician and sound engineer. In 1997 they released their first EP on Pacific Records - that is how Access 58 was born. They performed live and played DJ gigs at all the legendary London clubs, such as The End and the Velvet Rooms, for Carl Cox’s Ultimate Base nights. Access 58 collaborated with major artists of the 90s, such as The Advent and Umek and released over 30 EPs on various labels including their own (also called Access 58). 

In 2001 Quenum moved to Switzerland, where he soon met another talented artist with whom he would make history, Luciano. Together, in Luciano’s studio in the Swiss mountains, they composed “Orange Mistake” – recognized as one of the anthems of techno music. But when they approached various labels to release it, no one was interested. That’s how they started their own label, Cadenza. Soon after Luciano moved to Berlin, becoming the label’s boss. From his base in Geneva, QUENUM continued playing all the big clubs in the US and Europe – especially with Cadenza in Panorama Bar where they invited Apollonia, Thomas Melchior, Loco Dice – riding the wave of interest that “Orange Mistake” generated. 

In the next decade he continued producing groovy techno released on all the top labels (incl. Transmat, Crosstown Rebels, Cocoon, Fabric, Get Physical) and playing clubs all over the world. His love for the groove was nurtured in his music-filled Afro-Caribbean home. 

Now you will find QUENUM playing all over the world. From 2013 to 2019 Quenum worked in partnership with Cesare vs Disorder. Together as Azimute they toured Asia, Australia and South America. They released Azimute on Serialism and ran their label nights in Brazil, London and Berlin. 

QUENUM is known as one of the friendliest faces in techno, which explains why he loves collaborating with his brothers-and-sisters-in-arms. For QUENUM, each collaboration is an opportunity to learn and share his passion with friends. His latest collaboration ‘My Definition of Groove’ features Detroit Grand PuBah Paris The Black Fu and is out now on Engineroom.
