GUI BORATTO - ABAPORU 
ALBUM OUT NOW!

Returning to the full-length format after a couple of years well spent in the 12" singles circuit, Brazilian groove architect GUI BORATTO follows up his 2011 offering "III" (KOMPAKT 242 CD 90) with new masterpiece ABAPORU - an exotic and colorful journey into sound, spread over 13 richly orchestrated club tracks that display the same penchant for ridiculously catchy melodies and infectious rhythms that already informed his revered 2007 album debut CHROMOPHOBIA (KOMPAKT 152 CD 56).

In what may be his best work to date, GUI BORATTO strings together various contemporary strands of pop-infused techno and house and translates them into his very own stream of groove consciousness - also an act of cultural appropriation, as both ABAPORU's cover artwork and title suggest: putting an inspired twist on Brazil's most famous modernist painting "Abaporu" from early 20th century artist Tarsilo Do Amaral, they draw from the rich history of Brazilian modern art, where European and indigenous influences would collide in the most exciting manner.

Following June's "[QR]V.172.TAM.24", featuring tracks by Avision, DJ Deep and Deetron, Laurent Garnier's COD3 QR label is back with another vinyl-only release.  This varied 6-pack, coded "[QR]V.200.SPK.24" is comprised of exclusive tracks from members of the extended COD3 QR family: Skatman, Works Of Intent, Yann Lean, and Joaquim Plossu & Salem Focus, alongside Jules Wells' "Dreamer" (released digitally on the label in May) and Squal G's "Waiting 4U" (from April).

Skatman, the Berlin based, Tunisian born DJ, producer and label head of Cognitive Prophecy follows up his huge COD3 QR track "Tribute to a Dancefloor" with the deep, groovy and aptly titled "Transcending House".  He has already gained recognition for his approach to electronic music, bridging the gap between classic and contemporary with tracks on Innervisions and Correspondent, becoming one of the most intriguing and captivating artists.

Jules Wells who delivered the infectious "The Clap" on COD3 QR 016 is back with the retro House sound of "Dreamer".  Jules Wells is from Bordeaux, France.  Strongly influenced by the Motor City, Jules has released on the likes of Submerge, Twilight 76, KMS, Planet E, Brique Rouge and Logos (Macedonia).

Works Of Intent, a core member of the UK South Asian collective DAYTIMERS and Emotional Weaponry label owner, has recently released an acclaimed guest mix for the legendary John Digweed's Transitions radio show.  Known for his ability to blend emotive storytelling with rhythmic precision, he follows up his "Richer Sound" album (released last year on the label) with the intricate and uncompromising "Subversive".

Producer and manager of the Slates Records label, Squal G is a French artist who has been passionate about electronic music since the early '90s.  Initially, he practised his art as a DJ before turning to machines and computers as he progressed with production.  Never sticking to a single style, instead, allowing inspiration to lead him, he nevertheless remains in the Techno spirit, as heard on "Waiting 4U".

A multi-faceted composer and DJ, Yann Lean also works as a sound engineer for himself and other artists.  Whether working as a duo with Madben and their side project Trunkline or as a solo artist, he has won the trust and support of prestigious labels such as KMS, Bedrock, Planet Rhythm, Skryptom and Materia, as well as COD3 QR who released "Hope" in 2020.  Now he's back with tribal drums on "To Get Close".

French born, Mexican resident Joaquim Plossu has been making music as a producer, multi-instrumentalist and sound designer for the past 20 years with releases on COD3 QR, 31 Recordings, Fokuz, Repertoire, Deep Heads, Planet Rhythm and more.  Both music composer and producer for TV and films, as well as Drum & Bass producer in his spare time, he teams up again with Leeds (UK) based Salem Focus (Fokuz Records / Soulvent / Galacy) for some energetic D&B on closing track "Cosmic".

COD3 QR: Music diversity is our strength!

The Solution (Priori Mix)

Spring has arrived with added fervour here at Darkroom Dubs HQ, as Parisien maestro Prinze delivers four jubilant tracks heralding his much-anticipated label debut. His 'We Are Free' EP is a bold clarion call to the dancefloor that gives a mischievous nod to early '90s UK progressive house and the halcyon days of acid and rave culture while fully embracing a defined and distinctively psychedelic sonic vision of the future.

2025 will undoubtedly continue to be an eventful year for Prinze as he duly prepares a fistful of cosmic missives for his own Epicure Records and remix collaborations with Rotten City head honcho Alvaro Cabana and Silicone Soul. The latter is an acid dub of REMAIN & DaWad's 'Comatose' and is due to drop on Bogotá's Kaputt.wav label in early May. Much love x

Dee Diggs returns to New York’s toucan sounds with ‘Love Cruise’ this April. The track follows 2024’s ‘Go Deep’ on the label, which was remixed by Stefan Ringer and won support from artists like Antal, Moxie, DJ Harvey, Bradley Zero, and many more. ‘Love Cruise’ once again showcases the unmistakable Dee Diggs sound. Her impassioned, earworm vocals are joined at the hip with an expertly produced instrumental, giving a warm, sunshine feel to its infectious beat. The single comes after a great couple of years for the hotly-tipped DJ, producer, and vocalist, with Dee Diggs’ ‘Love Cruise’ marking her return to the toucan sounds label, one of the most consistent House imprints in New York City.

PREMIERE: Dee Diggs  - Love Cruise [toucan sounds]

Lunacy Sound Division returns with Altruism, a deeper, more atmospheric journey into electronic music while retaining his signature acid energy. With infectious grooves, nostalgic rave synths, and soaring 90s Detroit-inspired chords, the track even cheekily nods to Mark’s new neighbors, who complained twice during its creation. On remix duty, Rhythm Cult boss Paul Loraine teams up with rising talent DCLVIII OFC. Their rework transforms Altruism into a hypnotic, euphoric journey—melding its rave energy with rich piano melodies, soaring strings, and killer tribal rhythms. Whether in a pulsating club or on a sun-kissed terrace, this release is built to captivate dancefloors with its deep, melodic allure.
