"Mission Log Planet Earth 2021:

Scientists in Cyberia on an expedition to research an unexplained transmission from a location outside our galaxy detected a device that enables instant travel across the multiverse utilising the power of wormholes.

With the assistance of quantum computing, they decrypted the last known location and to their complete shock, it appeared to be located in a parallel universe.

They immediately decided to explore further by sending a probe to transmit a sonic signal and 122 minutes of transmission from alien terrain was recorded until the probe went offline. 

Current whereabouts unknown..."

John Dimas is a truly versatile artist.

Influenced by the underground clubs of Thessaloniki, where he started DJing as a teenager after moving from Albania, it was only a matter of a few natural steps, guided by his unique way of mixing different musical influences to be playing for big, music savvy crowds inside hotspots like DC10, Amnesia, Watergate, Rex Club and Fabric.

Dimas has established himself as a highly respected selector and producer known for his deep knowledge of music. His sets always include obscure cuts that even the most avid music fans have yet to discover. “I like the art of telling a story, and giving lots of different dynamics to keep things interesting,” he says. “I don’t like to be predictable with the records I play and love to surprise the crowd.”

On a release front, he’s maintained a steady output since his 2010 debut, pushing a futuristic fusion of techno and house that is clever, energetic and infectious. Based in Berlin since 2012, his eclectic taste in music is evident when we look at his productions released on established labels such as DJ Hell’s International Deejay Gigolo, Raresh’s Metereze and most recently on Francesco Del Garda’s Timeless imprint. Dimas also runs Elephant Moon, a record label with which he aims to support new talent. The label does not accept demos, instead Dimas searches for young, emerging artists himself and mentors them throughout the process. Here he also released his 14-track LP “One Against Time” in 2018, a well executed and varied album showcasing his full artistic range.

In 2020, he launched a second imprint SYNQ as well as Intermission Records with Voigtmann to release their debut album “Internal Transmission” for their collaboration VOIGT.MAS. 2020 also saw the revival of Dimas’ other pseudonym, Secret Universe, a cross-genre electronica project formed in 2016 for the release of his first album, an ambient expedition also titled Secret Universe.

We’ve all woken up with a musty head. And as a Leeds/London-based label - we’re used to it.

As artists, our goal is to provide the sounds to either kick start the party, or keep it going.

As a wiseman once said outside our beloved Mint Club - “You’re only ever two beers away from feeling alright again”.

It’s a musty head. Embrace it.
