Pig & Dan make an energetic return to Soma with their first new material since the release of the epic 10 year anniversary album ‘Decade’ with ‘Broken Melody EP’. Dan & Igor are a powerhouse production team and these 3 groovy tech house numbers sit perfectly within the realms of the Soma output.

Broken Melody is a perfect, rhythmic opener for this EP. Spliced up vocals pop through an almost tribal bass line while bright percussion melds this track together nicely. Pig & Dan are masters of the solid tech house track and this slickly produced track is a great example of these guys at work.

A more melodic approach is brought in on ‘Something’s Going Down’. Short, delayed synth stabs float delicately while a deep vocal cut drops over the intro as the track builds slowly as the synth become more ethereal, with an almost Detroit influence. This track definitely screams, hands in the air, as the percussion finally drops after building the tension through the melody. 

Junglism rounds off the EP with its staccato rhythms and funked up drums definitely aimed directly at the dance floor. Pig & Dan once again show their mastery of production on this one as their skillful use of FX allows this track to flow perfectly. The track bounces well from growling dance floor stomper to almost trance-like euphoria with perfectly timed drops and even better use of programming. 

Pig & Dan have delivered another great EP to sit along side their already amazing catalogue of releases on Soma, always with a fresh and unique take on dance music.

Away from the techno they’ve produced for labels including Cocoon and their own Elevate imprint, Pig&Dan have compiled an album honouring the musicians and singers they’ve met and who’ve inspired them throughout their career. The album entitled ‘Destination Unknown’ holds no boundaries, fusing together genres and styles far beyond electronic music’s own (increasingly broad) spectrum. 

Released on John Digweed’s Bedrock label, ‘Destination Unknown breaks out from Pig&Dan’s roots and pushes their personal envelope of influences to a wider audience who may not have been exposed to downtempo, funk and the (almost) anything goes philosophy of Balearic music.

One of the main instigators of this trip Malcolm ‘Molly’ Duncan, father of Dan and founder of the legendary soul group, The Average White band, was a massive part of encouraging the evolution of this project.

Other members of the musical family, California-born singer/lyricist, Glen Anthony Henry AKA ‘Ageel’, funk guitar guru, Tim Cansfield, cultural hip hop master, Jamie Reixach AKA “Giacomo” Legendary Reggae vocalist Paul De Swardt, Tech house legend & Soul Camp founder, Werner Niedermeier, Spanish jazz genius, Jaime Rosello aka Ruspei, Grammy winning soundtrack guitarist Joan Bibiloni 

After a chance meeting on a flight in 1999, Pig&Dan joined forces to combine their interest in music production. Thus began a truly prolific production schedule with 18 releases in the first year, establishing their reputation as producers of pulsating electronic music. In 2003, they launched their first label Submission and a sound that would attract Cocoon Recordings, After releasing ‘Oh Yeah’ they followed up 8 more releases on the seminal Frankfurt imprint, including their own artist album, ‘Imagine’. 
After this they continued to build their ever increasing profile by collaborating with some of the industries greats such as UNDERWORLD and Monika Kruse plus Remixing for Giants such as Deadmau5 and Paul Kalkbrenner to name a few.

Almost 11 years down the line and Pig&Dan have been blessing the decks of many of the biggest events and festivals worldwide. Recently the duo launched a new digital and vinyl imprint titled ELEVATE. The label’s title sums up their sound and devotion to dynamic music in just one word.

Bedrock Records have recently just celebrated their fifteenth anniversary and the label is going from strength to strength, releasing quality single releases and artist albums, plus the hugely successful ‘Live In’ compilation series from John Digweed. With releases crossing over many genres, Bedrock's consistency and John Digweed's prolific touring continues to attract a newer audience to the label.
