Riccardo De Polo - Ascension - COR12177

The epochal energy of "Ascension" captivated us from the very first moment, making it an ideal intro track. With its cinematic soundtrack reminiscent of "Vangelis", Italian producer Riccardo De Polo has crafted a sublimely ethereal experience that transports listeners into the vast expanse of space. As stars and planets drift by, the music beckons us to explore further, to surrender ourselves to the moment. The low strings serve as a booster until the rocket engine roars to life and the spaceship disappears into another galaxy.
Subsequently the polyrhythmic sequence of "Wahnstimmung" spirals abstractly far below the cerebral cortex. The driving bass drum, paired with shakers and percussion, propels the composition forward at a steady pace. The tension intensifies, painting a picture of liquid metal pouring into a melting pot. Pure, stripped-down techno as we know it from its origins.
"Inception" hypnotically takes you into a deep state of trance, engulfing you in a tribe's energy. It’s truly a classic Cocoon sound that has its very own place in Sven's sets. The vigor is palpable, the shimmering sequence will make the dust visibly glow above the open-air dance floors while the air begins to shimmer. Noisy snare drums heat the narrowed arrangement to the absolute boiling point. This is the energy we have been looking for!

Oscar Sanchez - Resurface (Original Mix) CUT

Label boss Secret Cinema returns on Gem Records to re-release the first ever Secret Cinema track: Timeless Altitude. The re-release is part of the SILVER project celebrating Secret Cinema’s 25 years in music and comes with a brand new Heiko Laux remix. The EP is ready to hit digital stores on April 21st. A total of nine Secret Cinema classics will be re-released with remixes both digital and vinyl as part of the box set SILVER.

The Dutch producer had been making music under several aliases since 1991 and already had a number of worldwide club classics to his name. But in 1994 he spawned his most powerful persona: Secret Cinema. His studio was still in his mother’s house where he made the track sitting on the side of his bed as there was no space for a chair between the bed and the equipment. 

The EP went on to sell over 25.000 copies and even made its way into the overall top 10 in Belgian charts. It was an absolute anthem played by everyone across the globe including the likes of Cox and Väth. He did not know at the time how Timeless the track would be as it is still stands its ground today.

Heiko Laux took on the heavy task of remixing the classic and did a simply amazing job. The result is one of the most epic pieces of techno in the Gem Records catalogue to date. After being released on vinyl as part of the SILVER box it now hits the digital stores for the very first time. 

The Silver box set is limited to 500 pcs, numbered and signed by hand. A real collector’s item and a luxury boxset never seen for an electronic artist. SILVER contains a customized USB stick with all productions ever made by Secret Cinema. Also included are three vinyls with all new remixes, A CD with 4 live sets from the past 3 decades, a greatest hits CD, a new documentary about Secret Cinema (with Adam Beyer, Pan-Pot, Michel de Hey, Benny Rodrigues) the animation film Barcode from 2003, artwork and photo’s, and to top it all off: a floppy disk with all the samples from Sonar System (1991) like the one Verheij used in his Amiga 500. 

Unlike most legends, Verheij has his eye on the future and prefers to develop rather than look back. It’s a good thing Gem Records and Mary Go Wild decided to document Secret Cinema so far…
