Acclaimed Amsterdam techno DJ / producer Joran van Pol is stepping out with his own brand new label. He marks the first release with a brilliant brace of his own cuts plus an on point remix from Italian producer Luigi Madonna.

The label will follow this same MO—originals from van Pol and a guest remix— with each new release and comes after van Pol has already made a name for himself with searing techno productions on labels like Minus, Rejected, Sci+Tec and Ideal Audio. The Dutch DJ/producer first burst through with big support from tastemakers like Riche Hawtin and Dubfire and tracks like ‘Sonic Highway’ have seen him work with legend & fellow countryman Joris Voorn. Now having played all over the world from ENTER at Space Ibiza to TimeWarp festival, he is well armed with plenty of ideas and some surefire skills that will help him shake up the global techno scene. This excellent EP kicks off with ‘Verge,’ a rib rattling techno track designed to fill full warehouses with sound. It is an industrial tinged effort with plenty of drama and tension in its creeping synths and rolling drums, and exactly typifies van Pol’s singular aesthetic.

In the hands of Luigi Madonna, a Drumcode and Plus 8 veteran who rolls out big hitters on a regular basis, the track is imbued with some emotive vocal cries and bulkier drums. Big hi hat ringlets add scale and the whole thing is truly fiery and attention grabbing.

Rounding out a fantastic EP is ‘Reduce’, a more stripped back and creepy techno tune full of dark and absorbing atmosphere, unsettling synth undercurrents and brooding, body shaking drums. It really is one that will grab the attention of the ‘floor.

This is a strong start to what is sure to be an essential new label.

Tracklist:

1. Verge

Techno DJ/producer Joran van Pol has a somewhat special story. His debut release ‘Untitled 2’ was signed to Richie Hawtin’s Minus, followed by Joran's seminal release 'Faded'. Where do you go from there? Well, with the ‘Implicit E.P.’ on Dubfire’s Sci+Tec, several releases on Joris Voorn’s label Rejected, a remix and full E.P. ’Immediate E.P.’ on Matador’s Rukus and a collab with Maksim
Dark ‘Thrill’ on Senso Sounds. ‘Derelict’ on Pan-Pot's Second State was added in 2020.

Meanwhile, Joran kept working tirelessly to hone his craft in the studio. Inspired by the current wave of bare and heavy techno, he managed to create a new iteration of his sound. His stark and heavy, yet minimalistic, techno marks the resurgence of Joran van Pol.

Perhaps even more so than his production efforts, Joran has built quite the reputation when it comes to his DJ-sets. Starting his career at the infamous underground club Studio 80 in Amsterdam, he quickly transitioned to big venues and events like Awakenings, Dockyard, Tomorrowland, Fuse Brussels, Welcome To The Future, Loveland and Timewarp.

Launching his own imprint _Enact in 2020.
