It's

EPM Podcast 148 comes from non-other than France’s greatest techno ambassador, Laurent Garnier. Garnier remains one of the world’s biggest champions of house and techno music. His enthusiasm and love for the scene has taken him the world over in his roles as a producer, radio show host and above all, globe-trotting headline DJ. His building DJ sets, full of invention and emotion are the stuff of legend and he remains at the peak of his artistic powers. After 4 years behind the scenes it was revealed this September that Cod3 QR was in fact the label he founded anonymously in 2018 with Scan X. The enigmatic label has presented artists' names first coded, then revealed later, featuring artists such as Agents Of Time, R.O.S.H., CYRK, Madben and Joe Farr. Whilst Scan X has left the project to concentrate on his own projects, Laurent now runs the label in conjunction with EPM and Oliver Way. Here he celebrates the label with an exclusive Cod3 QR mix featuring tracks from the mysterious label and some exclusive unreleased future gems. Once again it’s time to arouse your curiosity…!

Laurent Garnier has been making the planet dance for 30 years. One of the pioneering DJs of the dance music scene, he experienced first-hand the euphoria of the acid-house movement in Manchester. He then went on to Wake Up and shake up Paris nightlife, from La Luna to the Palace, not forgetting the Rex Club. As one of the leading lights in French dance music, he has spread his message across the planet, from raves to warehouse parties, clubs to festivals. He is a multi-faceted eclectic artist whose impact on the music scene is far-reaching. But above all he is a DJ, a true DJ. 

His latest releases have been on Kompakt, Rekids and Cod3 QR, the label he founded anonymously in 2018 with Scan X. During 4 years of mystery, the enigmatic label presented artists' names first coded, then revealed later. Unavoidable artists such as Agents Of Time or Joe Farr were then revealed. Finally on the 10th of September 2021, it was revealed that Laurent Garnier and Scan X were behind the French techno project from the beginning with the launch of the 10th release of the label. 

In the last few years, Laurent has composed tracks for the soundtrack of the film Paris est à nous (2019) as well as the soundtrack of the documentary Le Roi Batard (2020), which was awarded at the Jackson Wild Film Festival this year. He is currently composing the soundtrack for the film Entre la vie et la mort de Giordano Gederlini (release planned for 2022 – distributed by Le Pacte). 

Garnier’s musical journey has also been documented by the 2003 book Electrochoc (co-written with David Brun-Lambert) and the recent full-length film, ‘Off The Record’ (2021). After 30 years devoted to music, Laurent has been made Chévalier de la Légion d´Honneur in 2017.

PPPS. I'm not super happy with the quality of the recording, I received it almost mono. And you can barely hear the crowd here, even though it was super packed and it was crazy loud and lively in the room. But I decided in favor of publishing the recording anyway.

@larus-sounds

FF011 sees Bristol-based DJ and producer Larus flip a Kendrick classic into a devastating 160 number. This Kung Fu Kenny anthem has been particularly popular recently with Ferguson and nickname providing huge edits on Taipan Trax and Extra Spicy. However, there's no doubt that Larus puts a unique spin on the sample. Samurai-style choppage and a contorted bassline will almost certainly blow your system :)

As a co-founder of excess, who have quickly become renowned for their ANY BPM mantra, Larus is pushing all kinds of leftfield goodness out of Bristol. With previous releases on excess and Nu Kvlture, as well as a stunning 100% Dubs mix, there's no doubt that Larus is one to watch! 

Big thanks as always to Zonna for mastering and Alex Kubis for the unreal artwork!!

Enta - Digital Rage LP
Incoming from Biological Beats comes the debut LP from Drum n Bass wunderkind Enta, a high-energy, sub-genre-spanning release that showcases the sound he’s known for while still representing his evolution as an artist. Over the last few years, Enta has become one of the truest ones to watch in the scene, bringing his industrial beats and distorted synth patterns to labels such as Audioporn and Serum imprint Souped Up, while shelling down raves all over the country.
This LP is a culmination of progress throughout his short but impactful time in our scene.
Title track Digital Rage is aptly named, setting the pace for the rest of the album, with a piercing main line synth that makes way for a pulsating, ever-changing bassline. It’s a great summation of Enta’s talent for fusing the sensibilities of Jump Up, Rollers, and Neurofunk all in one track.
While the album’s opening gives you a flavour of what you’re in for, there’s no telling the directions that Enta takes you on throughout the sonic journey of the LP, with every track sending you down an alleyway of sound that you could never predict. Every track seems to pull off an impressive highwire act, from the straightforward yet space-age jungle of Led Astray to tracks like Mind the Whale, which teeters between hauntingly minimal and monstrously hard-hitting with constantly evolving patterns and melodies.  
It’s a masterful piece of work - complex but coherent, intense but intelligent, devastating but delicate, all at the same time. Other highlights include the crowd-ready banger that is Speechless, which recruits the Biological Boss himself Fatman D on the refrain, and Bristol-flavoured Roller Respect. 
If you’re a fan of powerful drum beats, intricate sound design, and a futuristic flair, then there’s something for you on this LP. We’re so proud of everything Enta has accomplished so far, and we’re even prouder to get to bookend this period of his ever-advancing career with the Digital Rage LP on Biological Beats.
DJs and ravers get to know Enta may be young but he’s still running the show.
