This is something special. Four outstanding tracks from the founders of LAPS Recordings. Starting with Van Kost's more experimental UK influenced basslines, Stabs and Go opens this EP deep and vibrant! Ekko follows with his signature sound design and a straightforward peaktime influenced techno anthem. Hans Pech is also known for his melody driven productions and dj sets. On this EP he delivers a trance influenced smily maker. Lenn Reich closes as known. With the darker dancefloors in mind, this production is definitely something for the lovers of darker and more industrial techno. Four founders, four sounds.

Mind Chemistry is the new duo project of Ekko and Hans Pech and stands for a unique sound that combines different techno subgenres and influences to create something completely new. The DJ / producer duo stands for a unique sound that combines the best of both artists' sound worlds.

The two have been DJing in clubs since 2017 and were introduced to each other in 2020 at Gleis 44, where they are still resident DJs today. It was in 2021 when the two of them first played a set together and immediately noticed the synergy of their sound.

In 2022, they founded the underground label LAPS Recordings together with two other DJs and soon after,  they released their first EP together. After a lot of positive feedback and successful gigs all over Germany, the two finally decided to officially start a duo.

With a broad spectrum from Melodic Techno to Peak-Time to Hardtechno and Trance, they stand out in every genre and send their listeners on an emotional rollercoaster ride. The sound can best be described as melodic, driving and emotional and is characterized by both being incredibly diverse while still harmonizing perfectly with each other.

Ekko is a DJ and producer from southern Germany who captivates audiences with his unique, melodic, driving, and highly danceable sound. As the founder of the underground label LAPS Recordings, Ekko blends pounding techno beats with trance-infused basslines, emotional synths, and dark, melancholic atmospheres. His style spans Melodic Techno, Peaktime, Hardtechno, Trance, and Hardtrance – always powerful, always distinctive.

Born in 1997 near Ulm, Ekko was hitting drums before he could even walk. At just four years old, he stood in front of an audience for the first time, and music has played a central role in his life ever since. Besides drums, he taught himself multiple instruments and even produced a small album using a DAW at the age of 12.

After discovering electronic music, it quickly became clear that he wanted to be behind the decks. In 2017, he played his first DJ set on a local radio show – together with the crew members who would later co-found the club Gleis 44 in Ulm with him. Ekko remains a resident DJ there to this day and played a key role in the founding of Kollektiv Schillerstraße, Gleis 44’s official resident DJ crew.

During the first COVID lockdown in 2020, Ekko began producing his own tracks. His productions are defined by heavy kick drums, trance-inspired basslines, 303 acid elements, and signature melancholic melodies. Whether in the studio or on stage, he always manages to retain a unique character that sets him apart from other peaktime techno artists.

In 2021, Ekko also launched the duo project Mind Chemistry together with Hans Pech. The two met at Gleis 44 in 2020, where they’ve been playing together regularly ever since. After their first B2B set, it was instantly clear: the synergy was undeniable. With a musical range from Melodic Techno to Peaktime, Hardtechno, and Trance, Mind Chemistry delivers an intense ride through emotion and energy – sometimes dark, sometimes euphoric, but always on point.

In 2022, they co-founded the label LAPS Recordings alongside two fellow artists and soon released their first collaborative EP. After receiving great feedback and playing successful shows across Germany, they officially launched the duo, continuing to build a strong reputation with their dynamic and genre-blending sound.

Ekko has performed at renowned clubs and festivals across Germany, including:

Gleis 44, Roxy, Club Eden, Club Schilli, Club Action, Eins Tiefer (Ulm); Douala (Ravensburg); Bukowski (Heilbronn); Culteum (Karlsruhe); Club Toy (Stuttgart); Make Club (Fellbach); Lieber Scholli (Passau); Abdera & FreeFlow Festival (Biberach); Salt&Pepper (Pforzheim); 100Hz (Augsburg); Coppi & Ritter Butzke & Institut (Berlin); Pan (Hannover); 2takt Festival (Heidenheim); Schwarzer Adler (Egelsee).
