I Said Acid EP

Struggling for Positivity

The Bouncing Pony

I Said Acid

EPM.184 comes from Theiz, an artist who has just dropped his fifth release on EPM. With a production attitude that harks back to the more warm and delicate techno and IDM sounds of Terrace, Black Dog, B12, Kenny Larkin and Stasis, his emotive electronica is further captured in this mix that brings the tempo and lights down for a heady, home listening excursion. Featuring the likes of Joep Beving, Martin Nonstatic, Nadia Struiwigh, Lake Haze, TV99AD, Jeff Beck, Tim Hecker, Húsdreki and Martin Kohlstedt this is an immersive mix to lose yourself in.

Theiz (Mathijs Schippers) is now some 30 years deep in the scene. Having re-leased on labels such as Eevolute, Techno-Tourist and Ear-land Recordings in the late 90s and early 00s, Mathijs began producing again in 2015 with no pressure to release – simply just for the sake of making new music.  His activity as a music journalist brought him back into contact with the music industry and now freshly motivated, he is firmly in the saddle with multiple releases on EPM as well as recent releases on Belgium’s Crossfadesounds, Iceland’s Moatun7 and Canada’s Stasis Recordings.

Theiz's musical journey actually goes back to the end of the eighties. Influenced by Ben Liebrand, Bomb the Bass, Coldcut, Pink Floyd and Tangerine Dream, he experimented by remixing tracks using an old tape recorder and cassette decks.  At age 17-18 he met the twin brothers Tonie and Peter Van der Loon who opened up a whole new world for him: synthesizers and the underground music scene.  This broadened his horizons with Detroit's Derrick May and Kenny Lar-kin, Richie Hawtin, B12 and Sun Electric all making a big impression.  Years of making music in their little studio in the Van der Loon garage, monthly record buying trips to Amsterdam and the occasional club night resulted in a few re-leases on Eevolute as East Island in the second half of the 90s. In 2000 the first Theiz solo release 'It's Done' became real (as part of Techno Tourist's Various Artists 'Follow the Beat' EP alongside artists such as The Moderator and TV99AD).

At a certain point somewhere in 2019 he spontaneously decided to send some tracks to one of these contacts: EPM Music. As they say, the rest is history as he drops his fourth EP forth eh label, following 2023’s debut album ‘All That Remains’. 

Theiz - I Said Acid EP is out now on EPM Music.

EPM.184 - Theiz

EPM Selected Vol.10

Guiding Light (Remaster)

EPM.185 comes from Marshall Jefferson. Marshall is one of house music’s most important founding fathers. A key player in the Chicago house scene from the start, re-leases like ‘Open Our Eyes’, ‘7 Ways to Jack’ and the immortal ‘Move Your Body’ have had an undeniable impact on the development of house music as we know it today. He has recorded solo and collaborative material under various names such as Virgo, Jungle Wonz, Truth and On the House – many of which have elevated house music to a new level. We are totally honoured to have Marshall deliver a prime house party mix that brings a mixture of classic cuts and lesser-known gems with releases from Mr. Fingers, Hanna, Alex Finkin, DJ Disciple, Sebb Junior, Grant Nelson and Joe Smooth’s roof rais-ing anthem. A total joy from beginning to end!

Sometimes known as the God Father of house music, Grammy Nominated Jefferson was originally a record producer in the Universal Recording Studios in Chicago, where he met the owner of Trax Records, Larry Sherman.  Jefferson’s 1986 single for Trax, “Move Your Body”, the first house song to use piano, was a popular and influential song in the genre. During the late-1980s heyday of house music, he recorded solo and collaborative material under various names such as Virgo, Jungle Wonz, Truth, and On the House. Jefferson’s deep house productions include songs by CeCe Rogers and Sterling Void, and Ten City’s first two albums. 

Jefferson’s releases like ‘Open Our Eyes’, ‘7 Ways to Jack’ and the immortal ‘Move Your Body’ had an undeniable impact on the development of house music as we know it today. Jefferson’s releases on the iconic TRAX Records helped establish the label as one of Chicago’s best, and he has continued to put out some of the most widely-acclaimed mu-sic in house music history.  Over the years, Marshall has had a hand in house music’s evolution, spearheading the acid house movement with his work on the seminal ‘Acid Trax’ with DJ Pierre in 1987. He also turned his hand to deep house, most notably on ‘Open Our Eyes’, released in 1988 on Big Beat, which connected emotionally and physi-cally with listeners.  As well as growing the genre in his hometown, Marshall Jefferson was integral to house music’s growth worldwide. The DJ headline the first House Music Tour of Europe in 1987. After a brief hiatus in the early 1990s, Marshall began his legend-ary five-year residency with the Tribal Gathering and Big Love Events in London, during which time he released his 1997 studio album ‘Day Of The Onion’, which is considered one of the best house full-lengths of all time.  

Today, Jefferson continues to release original productions and extended mixes including remixes for Katy Perry, Galantis, Pet Shop Boys, and Oliver Heldens, alongside his standout DJ shows around the globe.  House music truly wouldn’t be the same without him.

EPM.186 - Tal Fussman

EPM.187 comes from Chloe Lula. Raised in San Francisco and based in Berlin, DJ and producer Chloe is known for her deep and atmospheric sound that pulls from the niche recesses of techno. Here we can find her tough yet deep and bass driven sound creating a hypnotic groove that weaves together tracks from Viels, Bill Youngman, Function, Cassegrain, Traversable Wormhole, Edit Select, Mike Parker, Yan Cook, BLANKA and more.

Originally trained as a classical cellist, Chloe left the conservatory at 18 when she discovered raving and electronic music, moving to Berlin shortly thereafter to immerse herself in the city’s burgeoning techno scene. The confluence of these worlds has forged her textural approach to techno and inspired her to re-turn to her instrument. Today, she uses the cello to write full-length ambient, electroacoustic live shows as well as deconstructed tones and timbres that help form the unique character of her releases for the dance floor.

Chloe is a resident DJ at Tresor. She's played at Berghain, Boiler Room, Movement Detroit, and countless clubs, festivals and parties across Asia, Eu-rope, and, North and South America, becoming known for atmospheric sets that dig deep into the niche recesses of techno. She has released on Tresor Rec-ords, James Ruskin’s Blueprint and P.E.A.R.L’s label Falling Ethics alongside Oscar Mulero. Her debut instrumental full-length came out on James Ginzburg’s Subtext label in November 2024. She is also the senior producer of Resident Advisor, where she hosts and curates talks and music workshops at festivals like Atonal, Nuits Sonores, Dekmantel, Unsound, Rewire, and many more. Al-ways in pursuit of honing her craft, Chloe has become an exciting, in-demand artist who’s set apart for creating a focused, introspective musical vocabulary that is uniquely her own.
