SQL is known for his warm yet energetic productions and live sets throughout the globe. This new EP is an absolutely rock solid four tracker with everything from happy summer warmth to smooth techno.

First up is Surrender. This could be one of the happiest, sunniest yet powerful tracks you’ll hear this summer! The chords, which open up beautifully in the break, are so optimistic and warm they could be prescribed as an anti-depressant. The groove on the other hand driven by über funky snares, claps and rattling high hats will make you want to take that new found optimism and pretend like Monday doesn’t exist!
 
‘Collect’ is a hypnotic groover with lots of energy and funk. With ever changing and evolving ambient noises in the background and a punishing chord bleep, this track has an almost sinister feel to it. As though you might be punished if you don’t rip up the floor.

‘Reveal’ is best used to end a warm summer day on an outside dance floor with your eyes closed. Grooving to the spacey synths and driving percussion. Be sure to have this one handy when the sun sets! Kassey Voorn rocks the EP with a more pumping approach with his remix focussing on a phat kick and bass line but with a melodic breakdown to catch your breath.


Available on vinyl and digital from August 26th.

🔥 DJ Techno, House & Psytrance | Exclusive sets, rare tracks, pure vibe 🚀🎶

Music is more than just sound—it's an emotion, an experience, a journey. In a world where algorithms dictate trends and playlists, I stand for real digging—the art of discovering hidden gems, forgotten anthems, and underground masterpieces that deserve to be heard.

Every track I play is carefully selected, not by a machine, but by pure passion and countless hours of searching, exploring, and feeling the music. Whether it's deep, hypnotic techno, groovy house, or mind-expanding psytrance, my sets are crafted to take you somewhere new, to make you feel something real.

If you’re looking for authentic, rare, and unforgettable sounds, you’re in the right place. Let’s escape the ordinary together. 🎧🔥
