The 37th release on microCastle finds the label revisiting King Unique's Beatport #1 release 'Some Break The Shell'. The four track EP released in April of 2014 found the storied UK producer showcasing some of the most diverse and poignant work of this career. Now to kick off 2015 we see four brand new interpretations courtesy of Dubspeeka, Jamie Stevens, Pedram and Petrels.

Press text: The lone interpretation of 'Some Break' is provided by microCastle label artist Jamie Stevens. The Aussie producer is now making his fourth appearance on the label and first of 2015. Jamie has achieved an amazing level of critical and commercial success over the course of his career. As one of Australia's most talented and sought after music producers he has proven his skill in professional sound design, music scores for film and contemporary dance music. As the founding member of Infusion, the much-loved Australian electronic live act, he's left his mark around the globe, headlining some of the biggest and most respected clubs including; Fabric- London, Pacha - Buenos Aires, Womb- Tokyo and festivals such as Glastonbury, Coachella, Roskilde and Creamfields in Moscow, Brazil, UK and Argentina. In his home country, Infusion has received 2 prestigious ARIA awards for their work.  More recently Jamie's discography has been highlighted by a contribution (Prism) to John Digweed and Nick Muir's 'Versus’ album along with 'The Wonder of You', released in 2013 on microCastle, which turned out to be one of his career best pieces of work.  It earned a #1 chart placing in both Tech House and Electronica on Beatport and was widely regarded as one of the year's best releases.  Always a magical remixer Jamie has reinvented the sparkling, melodic 'Some Break' into a stomping techno beast of a record. Already played by Jeremy Olander & Guy J at the VH1 Supersonic festival it looks to be one of Jamie's biggest techno productions of the year.



King Unique - Some Break (Jamie Stevens Remix) - microCastle (PREVIEW CLIP)

I love old school trance, progressive (house/trance/techno/breaks), '02 style tech/tribal house (think King Unique/Omid 16B), minimal/melodic techno, ambient (guess who), electronica/IDM (mostly Aphex Twin, Clark, Autechre), electro, dubstep/future garage/futurebeats, some deep/indie house/dubtechno, and that 3am killer, acid.

My favourite DJs and producers are: Sasha, James Holden, Guy J, Luke Chable, John Digweed, Henry Saiz , Nick Warren, Hernan Cattaneo, James Zabiela, King Unique, Nomad in the Dark and Royal Sapien, Desyn Masielo (and co.) to name a handful. I guess, check the people I follow...

Brands I follow pretty religiously; Renaissance, Balance, Global Underground and the other usual suspects.

Long term underground DJs e.g. Speedy J, Dave Seaman and Lee Burridge, intrigue me greatly, and generally warrant a look in on a night out, even if outside my usual music tastes; partly because I'm interested in DJing, and what makes a DJ great.

My guilty pleasure is anything with 'hard' in the genre name; Hard trance, Hard house, Hard techno etc., and commercial trance from '95 to '02 or so, but this is mostly from that being the soundtrack to my pre- and teen years.

microcastle | est. 2009

microcastle is an electronic music imprint from the north, Canada. Releasing on vinyl, cassette and digital, the label is an outlet for borderless creation. The selective nature of the platform allows each artist to operate freely, where stylistic blueprints and conventional dance floor dynamics are lifted. A home for anyone who carves their own path, each microcastle project is unique unto itself, unmindful of trends, refreshingly organic and initiated with the intent of entering the unknown, from leftfield headphone listening to rebellious dance floors around the world.
