STUG Music was born in April 2007 organize events in The Netherlands. Club venues like Paard van Troje The Hague, Doornroosje Nijmegen & Studio 80 Amsterdam were homebase of 55 events where (Inter)National artists were invited.
Focus on programming (Inter)National heroes of the Past, the Present & the Future it was always a big wish to start a music label.
Premiere of STUG Music, label & events runned by Bart van Rijn. Two original tracks from the founder remixed by specialists in their genre Perel & Rhadow.
Perel got our attention since her release "Cantuccini" on label Rebirth in 2017 and with her future album release on DFA Records in 2018, we are very happy that she delivered a Galaxy remix of 'Mae' for our imprint.
A fan of his tracks and the minimalistic house sound made us getting in contact with the Romanian producer Rhadow. With also releases on label Sintope (NTFO) he transformed the original track 'Spyder' into an eight minute drums & driving rhythm remix.
After a steady foundation STUG Music is ambitious in building an International crew of artists around the imprint & publish their originals too.
From dance floor orientated House & Techno to Indie Electronic Music Label from The Hague, Netherlands

Label head Enzo Siragusa teams with Ibiza resident Nima Gorji for the slick ‘Foreal EP’; the original mix (VINYL ONLY) rolls deep, building nicely with a warming pad whilst subtle tripped out sounds flicker throughout the mix. Djebali offers up more of a bassline friendly mix on the flip whilst Fuse mainstay Seb Zito dusts it down with a phatt kick drum and ups the PHUNK on his version.

PABLO SÁNCHEZ - DAYDREAM

Hailing from Caracas Venezuela, Pablo Sánchez (@pablosanchez) has made his home in Barcelona, carving out an impressive reputation for exciting and eclectic productions and performances. Here, he drops a hugely impressive three tracker for Hamburg’s hafendisko label.

‘Daydream’ is built around a throbbing groove. Thick, punchy kicks and snappy snares set the tone, before the bubbling, rolling baseline brings the propulsion. Spacey synths and shuffling percussion suggest a love of the more outer-fringes of disco and house, before the vocal drops to bring the whole track together.

Pablo Bolivar (@pablo-bolivar) produces a crispy remix - tonnes of space and dynamism in the mix allows the elements to breath and find their own function - the track explodes into life with a full throttle release of kinetic energy - sure to hit hard when deep into the more cosmic parts of the night.

‘Mahari’ is a finely crafted and slickly executed piece that exists in the same orbit as ‘Daydream’ ,but nds a different way to shine - pulsing synth tones and stuttering effects cast the vibe deep into space - one that will stick with the more outernational dancefloor troopers.

A) Devil Sigh
B1) Devil Sigh (Tuff City Kids Remix)
B2) Outbreaker

It’s been a year and a half since we last saw La Fleur grace Watergate Records with a proper EP, having been featured on remix duties for Sasha’s ‘Trigonometry’ and her contribution ‘Femton’ to the celebrated 15 Years compilation. 

So her brand new ‘Outbreaker’ EP arrives just in time to curb any impatience you might have waiting for her signature blend of house and techno aesthetics fused with modern production techniques that sets her apart from her peers. 

La Fleur kicks things off with a wild heaving bass line and crisp, distinctive organic claps on ‘Devil Sigh’ setting the tone for the hypnotic groove that soon turns into a high energy burner of explosive bursts and an incredibly unique lead guaranteeing an absolute hit. It only gets better when one of the hottest acts on the scene, Tuff City Kids, lend their talents for a remix and turn ‘Devils Sigh’ into an analog heavy, future-retro banger that’s as different as it is the same as the original, creating a perfect alternative to the already killer original. 

Wrapping things up, La Fleur takes it a little slower and deeper with ‘Outbreaker’ by utilizing lush organic percussion and washed out guitars to build a tune that will be the anthem for early mornings, open airs and beach sessions alike. We couldn’t be happier to have the first lady of Watergate back at the controls and we think you will agree.

Serge Devant returns to one of his favoured label’s with his White Groove EP , delivering a pair of deep, textured tracks that’ll vitalise any rigid dancefloor. Archie Hamilton makes his Crosstown Rebels debut and supplies a punchy, tripped-out revision of lead track, White Groove .

White Groove is an absorbing mix of rumbling sub bass, soft, textured percussion, and ethereal pads. Loose percussion and a tough kick carve out the initial vibe on C onnect To Server . A hypnotising, low-riding synth is the final layer and helps generate even more groove into this peak time roller.

“ Happy to be back again with my Crosstown family. I’ve been testing these tracks for a while on the dance floor, they always get people moving. Really happy with the remix from Archie too, the cherry on such a sweet cake.” Serge Devant

Archie Hamilton switches up White Groove, revising the bassline into a buzzing, forward pushing rhythm but retains the mystical feel of the original, bolstering the whirring pads and using intricate percussive sounds and FX.

Serge Devant hails from Brooklyn, New York and released his seminal track Fearing Love in 2015 on Emerald City. Since then he’s been championed by Damian Lazarus, a firm favourite on both Crosstown Rebels and Rebellion, whilst also receiving plaudits for his releases on Knee Deep In Sound and Circus Recordings. Moscow Records, Moss.Co and Arkityp owner Archie Hamilton is one of the UK’s most promising talents, consistently releasing high quality house and techno on the likes of Get Physical, Fuse London, 2020 Vision, Fear of Flying among others.

It's been a while since we heard new tracks from legendary dj/producer Daniel Sanchez from Amsterdam. But the surprise was even bigger as his sound got more sophisticated than ever. Daniel knows how to let the groove roll so it was a super easy decision for Nick Curyl & Gorge to give this a release a go on their imprint.

Anjunadeep stalwarts Eli & Fur a.k.a Eliza Noble & Jennifer Skillman make a statement homecoming with the four track ‘Night Blooming Jasmine’ EP. The release sees the UK duo return to their songwriting roots - putting their voices front and centre, whilst blending their trademark rolling grooves with a refined production style.

“Our journey as club DJs has inspired us in so many ways and we wanted to draw from those experiences, as well as our more song-based tracks earlier in our career and make something a little different that means a lot to us artistically. We feel this EP merges these two worlds together and we hope that what you hear in these songs, is our love of song-writing as well as the darker, more melodic side of electronic music that tells stories and creates emotions.”

The title track is a brooding homage to Los Angeles, built around an infectious vocal hook and crisp percussive groove. As they explain “we wrote most of the lyrics while in the city and recorded the vocals in the studio out there so listening to it really takes us back. The smell, the lights, the skies and not wanting to leave. As well as that sense of how Hollywood used to be. The decadence of it all and the cracks under the surface of the American dream.”

Mid-June will see the release of M.A.N.D.Y.’s ‘Double Fantasy (The Club Versions), a dancefloor focused revisit to the 2016 LP.

With Patrick Bodmer now heading up M.A.N.D.Y. solo as the other member of the band Philipp Jung steps out on Sabbatical, the Berlin based artist and co-founder of the Get Physical imprint wanted to revisit the duo’s latest long player and stamp his own mark on things alongside co-producer of the entire project Dubspeeka. Patrick’s ear has always been direct towards the club sounds whereas Philipp’s always added the more eclectic home listening angle to their output, with this in mind here we see Patrick deliver ‘Double Fantasy (The Club Versions)’ and for the first time shining light on some of the collaborative artists who were involved in the project the first time round such as Booka Shade, Dubspeeka, Francesco Tristano and more.

Across the project we’re treated to the mystical and tripped-out styles you’d expect from M.A.N.D.Y with cuts like ‘Tomorrow Is Another Night’ feat. Jimmy Vallance of Bob Moses fame, who M.A.N.D.Y produced a nearly complete album with which got lost on a hard drive, this track is the only one which was saved on another computer and found its way to the album. There’s also cuts like ‘Rabbit Mountain’ which features LD Nero aka Alex Cortex’, ‘Housewife On Crystal’ and the Booka Shade collaboration, ‘Wandler (Rework)’ all employing the twinkling synth melodies, wandering atmospherics and a raw intensity which is always embodied in M.A.N.D.Y.’s material. Patrick also radiantly displays his darker dance floor prowess throughout also with tracks like ‘Hi End’ alongside Francesco Tristano & Nonki Phiri, ‘Outin (Rework)’ and the ‘Rhythm & Soul (Rework)’ produces alongside Brett Johnson & Red Eye all edging things towards a more hook driven, robust aesthetic aimed squarely at the dance floor.

Hot on the heels of Clarisse's class of 2018 headed by Cristian Merino and Eddy M, Italian architect Ario instructs to 'Turn the Light On', a cunning ploy where the last thing you want is for anything to interrupt your optimum dancefloor darkness. The man behind the Fontek label has stamped his science across a label spread of Glasgow Underground, Sanity, Noexcuse and High Pressure, and arrives at Clarisse intent on tightening the screw.

Seven and a half minutes of a pulsating synth line breaking free from the laboratory, tailor made for extended breakdowns and threatening to leave the dancefloor in a cloud of smoke: that's the core of 'Turn the Light On'. Resolute beats don't back down when barged into by bursts of hip-hop boasters wearing sharp disco strings around their neck, and Ario's undeviating focus will put paid to part timers and those on curfew.

On the remix are Fancy Inc, who posted the 'That Records' EP on Clarisse in 2016. As straight to the point as its predecessor, getting shuffling bass to push the party on from down in the mix and creating an itch that you can't help go back to, the Brazilians are muscular yet pretty nimble in finding a prime palm tree to party under. Ushering handclaps, percussive bounce and twist, that synth line pinging like a neon rubber band, and releases of built up energy in all the right places, put a cocktail in the hand of those whose veins are bulging.

Butane’s second release of 2018 drops this May, with the US DJ/producer unveiling his ‘Body of Work’ EP as the fourth installment in his impressive Extrasketch series.

In its fourth release since emerging onto the scene in July of 2017, Extrasketch has become a staple label for many of the industries leading names – with support from Laurent Garnier, Guy Gerber, Jamie Jones, Danny Tenaglia, Kenny Glasgow, Ryan Crosson and Carlo Lio on the last EP alone. Following on from his varied and dynamic ‘Techno Mafia’ EP, here we see Andrew Rasse aka Butane deliver yet another expertly crafted, workman-like four-tracker that’s set to make waves on peak time dancefloors and hazy afterhours throughout the summer and beyond.

Rasse kick starts EX04 with his ‘Rumpus mix’ of ‘Ultramax’.  The original featured as an off-kilter B2 cut on EX02; here he re-works the original’s vocals amongst a deep yet bouncy and rugged low end to provide a fresh and entrancing interpretation for 2018. Next up, ‘Dark Forces’ is a hypnotic and stripped back effort, guided by an evolving lead line and regimented claps, perfectly encapsulating the refined and deft characteristics the San Francisco producer executes so well in his work.

‘People’ opens the B-side and quickly introduces crisp, skipping hats and a rolling, organic dubby tech house groove to reveal a cut designed to keep the morning dance floors moving.  ‘Getting Nowhere’ rounds out the package, as a cheeky remix of his 2012 hit “We Long To Move The Stars To Pity” released on his own Alphahouse imprint and licensed as the opening track on Dubfire’s Essential Mix that year.  Here Rasse returns to his trademark blend: a grooving bassline, well worked percussion patterns, and hooky vocal shots.  As always, this is a must have package from one of House and Techno’s most talented producers, on a thriving imprint that’s set to make an even bigger stir through the year ahead.

Butane ‘Techno Mafia’ EP is out on Extrasketch in June 2018 (Vinyl) / Later (Digital)
