Loöq Records is celebrating its 100th release with this massive package of remixes of the progressive house classic "We Are Connected" by label founders Jondi & Spesh. Born out of the West Coast sound, the original 1997 release remained relatively under wraps until John Digweed came across a copy and began using it as a secret weapon in sets everywhere, eventually including it on an iconic Radio One Essential Mix (that same mix would also be used in it's entirety on the John Digweed mixed CD "Bedrock"). Re-release on UK labels Bedrock and Dorigen soon followed, as well as a critically acclaimed full length Jondi & Spesh album of the same title, and a classic was born. This superb collection of remixes does what Loöq Records as a whole has done so well for so many years - mix up and coming talent with established artists in pursuit of its mission of entertaining people with the freshest sounding electronic music.

Artist: Gregor Tresher
Title: Quiet Distortion
Label: Break New Soil
Cat-Nr.: BNSCD004
Release: May, 2016
Formats: CD, Vinyl, Digital

With his new artist album “Quiet Distortion” ready for release this summer, Gregor Tresher once again sets sail to break new soil, proving why he is considered to be one of the most consistent artists in the universe of Techno music. “About A Good Place”, “Neon”, “A Thousand Nights”, “Full Range Madness” or his recent “Goliath” amongst many others - the list of Tresher's tracks that have turned into modern classics is more than impressive.

Now, with this new installment of 12 tracks and once again accompanied by forward-thinking artwork by long-time collaborating 3D-artist Dennis Richter, it seems that Gregor managed to bridge the gap to his early releases by transforming their original, uncompromising sound into the here and now. Gregor puts it this way: “I am aiming to find the right balance in-between the vibe of some of my early music and the kind of modern Techno I like to play as a DJ, but at the same time I do not want to stand still but evolve as a musician. The goal I try to reach is to create something that will hopefully stand the test of time.“ 

After the haunting opening piece “Numb”, it´s “Surrender” and “Tyrant” that instantly set the tone for what we consider to be Tresher´s most complete piece of work to date. And when the title track “Quiet Distortion” kicks off, people will instantly recognize that Midas-touch that made Gregor´s sound a quality trademark in the world of electronic music.

There are of course tracks that will find their place in playlists by Gregor´s DJ-colleagues: The rumbling “Depend“ that´s also been a staple in Gregor´s own sets over the past months, “Consistency“, which finds its niche in-between the melodic openers and a more tough Dancefloor-approach or the menacing “The Kraken“, that reminds of Tresher´s work on Adam Beyer´s seminal Drumcode label. With “Decades”, we get a glimpse of Gregor´s Sniper Mode project, which he buried at a time when real Electro lost its name to a different genre of music. And then of course there´s the mighty “Goliath“ - the only previously released track on the album: Pretty much everyone who has spent a night on a dance floor of a Techno club in the past year will recognize it, as it has been championed by so many.

Accompanying the release, Gregor embarks on another extensive album tour spanning over six months. It will include a mixture of exclusive live performances as well as DJ-gigs kicking off at the end of May and touching down on some of the most prolific music festivals and clubs around the world.

Gregor Tresher - Quiet Distortion (Break New Soil)

High Tide Recordings co-founders Mongo deliver the labels second release in the form of two rumbling cuts this February.

Collective States is Dan Reid aka Sleeperhold and Gary Bennetton – two of the minds behind High Tide’s event series and newly launched imprint. ‘Carbon Freeze’ marks an exciting production debut for the Southampton based duo, however as DJs the pair have years of experience supporting many of the upper echelons of house and techno including Carl Cox, Seth Troxler, Jamie Jones, Sasha and Dubfire. 
Crashing hats and a sultry low-end form ‘Carbon Freeze’ as energetic stabs and atmospheric synths generate a compelling groove. ‘Santa Carla’ is more intricate in comparison using tight percussion and infectious melodies for a mesmerising aesthetic. Geared for the dancefloor, both productions have picked up early support from the likes of Hot Since 82, James Zabiela, Cristoph and Alan Fitzpatrick.

Collective States ‘Carbon Freeze’ drops on High Tide Recordings on 27th February 2017.

Tracklist
1.	Carbon Freeze
2.	Santa Carla

The Methodrone sound is wide ranging, everything from textured ambient soundscapes to energetic dance floor escapes. Refusing to be defined by any specific musical genre, Methodrone has built a catalog incorporating sounds, rhythms and influences from across the musical spectrum. It’s primary contributors, Kramer and Scott G, have diverse musical backgrounds that have helped guide Methodrone’s direction into a space that is not entirely electronic nor organic.  It is this blend of ideas that has helped Methodrone create a space all their own across the musical landscape.

Releasing a series of albums and singles with San Francisco based Looq Records, 
the music of Methodrone has sparked unique partnerships with seasoned musicians such as Grammy winning bassist Bernie Minoso and guitarist Jerry Fuentes. These types of collaborations have helped Methodrone create a unique and layered sound transcending the typical electronic music space.  At the same time, they have also worked with established dance music producers such as Royal Sapien (Bedrock) and Jason Randolph (Baroque, Sony) to produce solid dance floor-ready remixes. This ability to connect music across a spectrum of genres has allowed Methodrone’s work to find its way into international TV shows (CSI: New York), video games (WRC2), interactive projects (Intel, Jaguar-Land Rover), commercial use (ECOtality), compilation CDs and of course the dance floor.

Methodrone will once again showcase their innovative work with their third album Spacial Recognition early 2013 in addition to several upcoming remix projects.
