Thrilled to be presenting to you fine folk, the sounds of summer: heavy drums, booming bass, uplifting pianos, all dripping with groove. 

I first heard 'Techno Basics' what must be 2 or 3 years ago and i have badgered Kev to let me release it ever since. 

It's a seminal track with all the hallmarks of his hard groove sound, topped off with eastern style vocals, uplifting pianos and syncopated breakbeats. 

Perfect for late night clubbing or early morning festivals, Techno Bascis is guaranteed to get people dancing with their hands in the air! 

Backing up the original track we have storming remixes from Electrom, who delivers a funk-fuelled, analogue synth driven masterpiece; and GavTech, who drops a deep, soulful breaks bomb, complete with his trademark tight drums and dark reese bass. 

To finish up, I have deconstructed the tune completely into a radio-friendly slice of electronica, capitalising on the more esoteric sounds of the original and turning the tempo right down while still brining that fire! 

One of the aims of this release was to offer an EP where all 4 tunes are completely different, just like the good old days of vinyl where multiple genres would be found on one wax - hopefully we have accomplished that! 

Big up to Kev, Chorche and Gav for the amazing music, i'm thrilled to have this release on the label and honoured to be sharing the stage with you guys.
