With a well nourished upbringing in the Belfast house and techno scene, Chris Hanna has proved himself as
an artist that knows what works in a club. With a plethora of upfront underground releases on Made Fresh
Daily and Extended Play already under his belt, Chris is set to follow the wave of artists who have cut their
teeth on Ireland’s vibrant underground circuit to take on the world’s electronic scene.
As a DJ he has carved a style of his own with a longstanding residency at Shine Belfast, guest appearances at
both Twisted Pepper, Dublin and Glasgow’s now world renowned Sub Club, as well as regular slots across the
water. 2015 is set to be Chris Hanna's year of reckoning, with his first vinyl EP soon to be released on Ejeca's
Exploris records looking to transfer him from one to watch, to a household name.
The Psiren EP drops on Ejeca’s highly acclaimed Exploris imprint this April and is expected to send waves
across the Irish Sea to dance floors throughout the underground world. With deep melodic vibes and Chris’s
intricate production skills, Psiren sits on the darker side of techno and is set to become a record box staple for
the scene’s most hotly tipped artists.

Lando and Xavier keep the coals hot after they first locked horns earlier this year. Power House Rhythm Unit, which landed in April on Facetoface, was gundam techno with feels; the EP namesake was a particular nerve-tingler, comprised of a sturdy 4/4 exoskeleton topped by an insistent, repeating vocal blurt.

"The Switch" manoeuvres along a similar trajectory: a raw machine driven house-techno hybrid. It's hypnotic and alluring in equal measure featuring a synth line that vaguely resembles Bob James' "Nautilus" opening.

The Switch EP is the eighth package to come from the TANSTAAFL PLANETS imprint. Catch the release on November 6th.

When presented with a young talent with his whole life and a brilliant career ahead of him, we at Twin Turbo feel the only morally acceptable thing to do is to get out of the way and minimize the risk of the least important promotional arm of the music business hindering the otherwise inevitable upswell of positive energy and unmitigated success that lay ahead. 

Tiga recently took to the BBC airwaves to declare ABSOLUTE. “a future star,” and we’re just going to leave it at that, rather than mention something the Twin Turbo label boss may have added about wanting to create an “animal blockchain” of up-and-coming talent. It’s simply not necessary. The London-based DJ/producer has earned support from Annie Mac, The Black Madonna and Erol Alkan, a veritable Influencer’s Row of venerated tastemakers. On a more personal level, when ABSOLUTE. was younger and owned only one deck, he used to beat match along to Pete Tong’s radio sets. That’s genuinely charming and relatable, and requires no further embellishment . He also espouses the virtues of a strong work ethic and open-mindedness, and in doing so gives us a glimpse of what dance culture could be like if we could simply erase the miserable baggage of anyone over 24. 

And the music? Oh, it’ll make you gotta dance all right.

ABSOLUTE. - Not Tonight (Vakkuum Remix)

Reptile Dysfunction alumni Charlie Rope is back on the label with his second solo EP, 'Different Love EP': four propulsive house cuts with a healthy dollop of disco for good measure. 

Heavily influenced by the likes of Larry Levan, Giorgio Moroder, Frankie Knuckles and Giles Peterson, Charlie Rope's love of classic house music and disco is apparent in his productions, which are also driven by a desire to bring people together through music. 

His very first release was on Reptile Dysfunction back in 2017, confidently setting out his musical stall with life-affirming disco loops and chunky house grooves. With 'Different Love EP' Charlie further cements himself as a producer of tremendous ability. 

'Different Love EP' is one of the most positive, emotion-rich and fun releases you're likely to hear all year. Vocals whirl, basslines bounce and disco strings soar over the course of four utterly joyful tracks.

Rekids regular Markus Suckut drops his third album entitled ‘Heaven Is A State Of Mind’ this September. 

"This album is dedicated to my mother - I will always carry you with me to show you the world. See you again in a better place.”

When not helming his own imprints, SCKT and Pattern Research, the Düsseldorf artist has been releasing on Rekids since 2015 and is now a core member of the label’s family. Earlier this year saw the arrival of ‘New Life EP’, a mesmerising release exemplary of the producer’s knack for making imaginative house and techno complete with a compelling groove. No stranger to the long player format having released two albums previously, Markus Suckut returns to Radio Slave’s label with a quality eleven track album. 

From the word go Suckut’s album demonstrates his versatility as a musician, initiating with a beatless intro named ‘Escape’, before ‘Breeze’ comes into play with its skipping percussion and loopy atmospherics. Crunchy snares and crystalline synths make up ‘Sun’s Out’ whilst ‘Future Is Not Always Bright’ drives forward with its sultry low-end, ethereal pads and sci-fi bleeps, leading into ‘Take A Break’ and its medley of elaborate drums, living up to its name. 

‘Above The Clouds’ is comprised of intricate notes and soothing chords whilst the machinelike ‘Orchid’ features electro inspired melodies, contrasting to the album’s title track, ‘Heaven Is A State Of Mind’, with its bumpy bass and warping textures. ‘Wonderland (Version)’ is a ghostly acid cut, moving into the syncopated and ominous ‘We Will All Disappear One Day’ and its purring bassline until a moody two-step number entitled ‘Death Is Not Final’ ties it all together with twisted sequences and trippy effects.

Long time innovator Mathias Kaden debuts on Rekids with two rolling cuts with remixes by leading Japanese artist Hiroshi Watanabe and Delsin Records regular Vril.

With two decades of experience, Mathias Kaden is without a doubt one of house music’s most consistent artists. Known for his versatile approach to music making, Kaden has released on labels like Ovum and Pets, not to mention Mule Musiq and Ornaments under his Japanese inspired side project Mathimidori. Not only that, Kaden has proven his adaptability with remixes of many top tier artists like DJ Koze, Wareika and Jesse Rose. He now joins Rekids to further establish his unwavering reputation.

‘Liberate Drums’ is already highly sought after having generated a lot of hype on a Honey Dijon podcast earlier this year and rightly so - Kaden layers claps with a looped leading groove and warped vocals. Vril then distorts the original, bringing filtered effects and crunchy percussion, while Hiroshi Watanabe’s musical rendition transforms the track with epic strings that work amongst elongated vocals giving the track a mystical quality. Finishing on a darker note, ‘Helicopter’ utilises warping waves which oscillate atop a bed of hammering percussion, infused with a groove that is destined to get you moving.
