Espai Music returns following a brief hiatus, armed with 'Man Must Explore, the first Espai release from talented Liverpudlian Andy Kneale. Harking back to the days of classic progressive house, the Original Mix borrows familiar moon-landing samples and expertly entwines them into a bed of deep rhythms, trippy synths and expert arrangement to create a track that's destined for the dancefloor. Warm Hall further strengthens his discography with a bullish, melodic techno alternative, adopting some of the sequences of the Original to form it's foundations, before unleashing a savage bassline to sit alongside some flawless Detroit-esque chords and strings. The package is complete by the talented Beaumont Stanford. This remix also utilises the bare sound of the Original before delving into a full on techno affair littered with heavy percussion, twisted vocal segments and 303 undertones. A diverse and highly useable package, we hope you enjoy! 

Early support from: Nuno Dos Santos, Funk D'Void, Cid Inc, Affkt, Kassey Voorn and others!

Scottish producer 'Bageera' expertly pilots Espai Music's journey into 2014 with 'Life Without Shapes'. Having made waves in the scene and garnered support from the likes of Carl Cox, Bageera's star has been steadily rising ever since his debut EP on the label back in 2011.
A genre-spanning back catalogue from the artist is bolstered further with the Original Mix, a slab of beautiful, melodic house music with one eye firmly on the dancefloor. A funky guitar lick flitters over a bedrock of solid bass pulses and tough percussive elements, while vocal excerpts, strings and piano riffs add emotion and depth to a solid foundation.
Canada's Luke Fair, who himself has released original work for Espai in 2013, dons his remix hat here. The outcome is trademark stuff - solid, deep and groovy house music, showered with melody and emotion. Utilising some of the funk-infused ideas of the original and the prominent piano hook, the mix takes on a life of it's own with a beautiful woodwind sequence and an uplifting bassline.
Rennie Foster vs Rhythm Droid complete the package with an utterly fresh direction. Detroit-infused techy, acid vibes build relentlessly to create a savage re-think of Bageera's brainchild. The breakdown offers brief respite with a burst of melody, juxtaposing what has come before. Rest assured, though, the dancefloor's breather is short as the mix re-engages to a driving conclusion.
We hope you enjoy!

Bageera - Life Without Shapes (Original Mix)

Our 'Espai For All' compilation of 2012 featured no less than 20 original tracks from an array of artists, both established and new. Fast forward to 2014, and the label felt it was time to revisit some of it's key moments, with a fresh twist from some of the project's existing artists and new blood.

'Espai For All remixed vol. 1' is the first in a series of EPs looking back at a selection of those tracks, this time including remixes from Days Off, Satoshi Fumi, Andy Kneale and Deep Future.

Days Off takes the reins with Escape From Atlantis by Black I.C.E., creating a bass heavy groove to constrast perfectly with the uplifting break.

Andy Kneale star continues to rise with a hypnotic melody-laden techno workout perfect for the late-night dancefloors.

The inimitable Satoshi Fumi teams up with his friend Takuya Yamashita to revisit 'GRB', putting together a trademark blend of uplifting chords and melodies underpinned by a rock steady Detroit groove.

Bageera's 'Baby Boi' closes the release, this time getting the treatment of Deep Future. Both artists featured on the original compilation and have been regulars on the label since it's conception, so it's fitting that both are involved again.

Deep Future's deep, emotive style is once again evident here, utilising some of the track's original vocal excerpts to muster a beautiful update.

We hope you enjoy.

Volume Three of the Espai For All remix series arrives with four more tracks from last year's compilation, remixed and refreshed.

Deep Future's excellent 'Want U Need U' has been given the One D treatment, borrowing some of the memorable vocal and synth lines from the original while creating a deliciously deep groove that is guaranteed to work on any dancefloor. 'Binary Mind' by Loisan is revisited by one of Japan's finest underground talents, Takuya Yamashita. Sure enough, Takuya delivers his trademark, spellbinding blend of melody and detroit influenced flavours. Continuing the Japanese theme, M. Fukuda's 'Epitaph' is next up, with Talul taking the reins for remix duty. A body of atmospheric textures and evolving synth rhythms set the tone for a groovy and trippy workout which is sure to find favour with many. The volume is complete with a further contibution from Loisan, this time remixing 'Complex Minds' by Maertz. Loisan spoils us with a blend of gorgeous melody and an uplifting low-end sequence, techno with soul which dropped at the right moment could steal the show. Another package we are proud of and hope you enjoy!

Support by: Dave Seaman, Nuno Dos Santos, Oniris, Dimitri From Amsterdam, Oliver Schories, King Unique, Fabrice Lig, Madben, Rune Rk, Ian O'Donovan and more!

Gracing the label last summer on remix duties, Scotland's Colin McNeil returns to Espai Music with an EP of his own. Never one to shirk on melody, Colin's opening track 'Psionic' is an exquisite slice of melodic techno full of energy, drive and emotion.

Bass-driven 'Theory of Everything' follows, showcasing once again Colin's ability to balance emotional content and the needs of the dancefloor. The track has an understated groove precipitated by both percussive rhythms and shimmering melody, while the filtered bass adds a warmth and body.

Scan X dons the remix hat to complete the package, revisiting 'Psionic' in his trademark style. Another who is no stranger to Espai Music, he has recently found outlets for his music in the form of Circus and Herzblut Recordings.

His interpretation of 'Psionic' toughens the drums while respecting the hypnotic intricacies and melodies of the original, thus creating a late-night groover destined to cause havoc across the world's underground dancefloors.

We hope you enjoy.

Yann Lean takes the helm with Espai Music's next EP, 'The Quest'. With previous form on labels such as Brique Rouge, Bedrock and KMS, the Parisian connoisseur of all things techno delivers two original tracks with abounding atmosphere, melody and power. Both title track and 'The Chase' are supported by highly accomplished remixes from Dimitri and Karim Sahraoui respectively.

Opener 'The Quest' sets the tone in grand fashion, with each additional layer affording a further dose of groove and euphoria. The track is diverse in it's appeal, yet has the unmistakable sound of it's composer and is sure to find favour with both existing fans and those newly exposed to his unique take on no-nonsense techno.

Planet E's Dimitri joins the party on remix duties, annexing a deeper, late-nite groove to proceedings. The driving hook of the original is skillfully replicated with a more subtle twist, and the addition of some carefully chosen vocal elements do not go unnoticed. An excellent interpretation on the solid foundations of the original which is sure to find favour with many looking for something a little more diverse.

Yann returns with 'The Chase', completing the brace of originals within the EP. The track again showcases the artist's ability to provide conventional dancefloor tracks fused with unique elements and groove. A vocal loop which can be most suitably described as Tuvan and 'throaty' in nature, pegs an irresistable stamp on the piece and is surrounded by solid drums and a uber-funky bassline.

The aptly named 'Detroit Vision' mix by Transmat's Karim Sahraoui completes the package. As suggested, the track is drenched in Detroit flavour. Rolling techno rhythms bubble amidst a plethora of uplifting strings and trippy melodics, delivering more choice still for those looking for an alternative avenue within the broadly flavoured EP.

We're glad to introduce a new podcast from Yann Lean, the parisian who's released "The Quest", our newest release to bringing us the finest melodic techno again. Hope you enjoy this one hour session as much as we did.

Next up on Espai Music comes 'Collider', the new single from DJ/producer, Dimitri from Amsterdam.

With over 30 years of record spinning, it's tempting to use the term 'veteran' in the case of this firmly rooted craftsman. Releases on Carl Craig's Planet E and gigs at some of the world's finest nightspots are testament to the fact that this curator is still very much at the top of his game.

The original combines the rhythmic with the emotive. Landscapes of twisting textures, brooding melodics and gorgeous chord progressions provide an underbelly for a spiralling analog sequence which embarks upon a stunningly trippy journey of it's own.

Sigward takes on the first of three remixes, with all the character of the original soaked effortlessly into a deep, chugging slice of techno.

Pina adds a further variation, intrepreting the original in unique fashion. A suspense and unease prowls amongst the dubby bassline and broken beats.

Completing the package comes the remix of Claudio Mate. A straight-up slice Detroit-infused melodic techno, Claudio provides more nourishment for the peak-time dancefloors.

We hope you enjoy.

Espai Music sketches an outline of the exciting projects to come in 2016, with the first of the 'Dimension' series of extended players.

Former label favourites One D, Andy Kneale, Dimitri and Steve McCready return to synergise a quaternary of stellar electronic music, each piece showcasing a diverse range of personalities, yet with an overarching theme of excellence.

One D's 'Kobi' sets the ball in motion with a wedge of chic acid house. Steve McCready's 'Walk and Talk' takes us deeper into the night before peak time is thrust upon us, owing to Andy Kneale's gripping melodic techno cut 'Activated Anomoly'. Dimitri returns to the label for the late-night epic aptly entitled, 'Profound'.

Something for everyone here, we hope you enjoy.
