Spectrum march head-first into 2022 with this dark matter platter from one of Manchester's most respected DJs: Jozef K.

Following releases on the likes of True Romance, Rawax, Last Night On Earth and Frau Blau, Jozef maintains the spotlight heat with his debut on the label founded by one of his biggest influences.

'I remember I closed an event DJing after Joris Voorn when I was 19 in Manchester,' says Jozef. 'It was surreal; I had watched him playing a few times previously and was completely awestruck to play after him when I was basically a little kid.'

Now 32 and really hitting his stride, Jozef lands on Spectrum with a distinctive, discerning minimal sound. 'These two 2 tracks are an accurate representation of where I am at musically at the moment - dystopian, hypnotic and atmospheric.'

We couldn't put it better ourselves. Stripped right back to the most mesmerising elements, tailored for deep mix creativity or those magic 4am moments, we suspect this isn't the last we'll see of Jozef on Spectrum.

Our annual 'Reto' compilation returns with its fourth installment. 2021 has come and gone, and it's been another year of ups and downs, last-minute cancellations, beautiful glimmers of hope, and label firsts: our label showcases debuted across Europe, and we celebrated our first long-player release by a solo artist. Above all, this year has shown us that electronic music remains a labor of love for all of us, and producing the best music we are capable of is what brings us together – no matter the circumstances.

Leading the way is magnificent title track 'Occhiolism' with its rich textures and teasing synth lines. Animal Picnic build a sense of anticipation with beautiful floating melodies, shimmering arps and warm comforting chords that draw you into their world. The cleverly arranged vocal sample adds a contemporary element to pull on your emotions. The huge breakdown ensure DJs can drop this track at a special point to captivate the crowd before creating a release of energy in the room.

stolen heart

Kevin De Vries - Meraki - COR12158

Berlin producer Kevin De Vries has emerged as one of the capital's most hotly tipped newcomers since his track ”Eternity" appeared on Adam Beyer's Drumcode label in 2016. Besides such luminaries as Beyer, Sven Vath and Richie Hawtin, Tale Of Us have also recognised his talent, paying De Vries the compliment of featuring his track "Path To Immortality" on their Fabric 97 CD this year. If that’s not enough they’ve also given Kevin a place of honour on their very own Afterlife label compilation in the form of "Magoa".

Which brings us to the matter in hand. De Vries' debut for Cocoon is characterised by significantly higher levels of impulsive energy without ever losing sight of his instinctive feel for harmony. "Meraki" speckles shimmering harmonic textures over the structured bass end, reminiscent of sunlight reflecting on turbulent seas - absolutely perfect for dancing through long summer nights! Teaming up with canadian friend Weska "Sonorous" orchestrates a tropical heatwave before the cyclical after-hour techno of "My Blurred Dream" brilliantly rounds off this heavy duty 3-tracker.

Jono Stephenson - Dusk (Ryan Sullivan Remix)

Radikon is the term for 'roots' in Esperanto, an international language that sought to bring people together. We share this vision, using art and music in lieu of language. Radikon is a group of like-minded artists that came together to release records that are more than music, each with its own individual soul and lifeblood. Producer and painter work closely together at Radikon to craft genuine, heartfelt art. The Berlin based imprint was founded in the autumn of 2018 by Jonas Saalbach and David Guzy who embarked on a journey with their close friends Arude, Baime, Dahu, Foreign Guest, Tantum and Yubik. Effortless grooves, organic synthesis, haunting melodies and the masterful subtleties of Simon Kneip's artworks drive the captivating atmospheres at Radikon.
