Having joined forces with label boss John Digweed and Nick Muir on 'Infinity Road - a track that appears on the pair's recent Versus compilation - Carlo Lio returns to Bedrock with his first full release teaming up with fellow techno don Harvey McKay. 

Whilst his Saytek collab 'Nothing' featured on Digweed's Live In London mix at the tail end of last year, Scottish producer Harvey McKay also makes his full Bedrock debut on the new double-header.

Droid Decay sees Carlo & Harvey drop a throbbing groove, showering it in piercing cymbals and working the vocal. On the flip the sinister and hypnotic Fuck Jack rages with its angry and expletive vocal growling in the background as Lio & McKay layer their galloping drums and spooky synth line throughout.

Fuck Jack features on John Digweed's 'Live in Argentina' CD due for release in December.

John Digweed Live in Argentina CD1 and CD2 Minimix preview

Pig&Dan return to the label for their third full release teaming up with Spanish producer and Bedrock debutant M.E.M.O., on this new double-header. Firm favourites of label boss John Digweed, Pig&Dan first featured on the Underground Sound Of Miami compilation with 'Machines'. Last year also saw the duo deliver their first Bedrock-brace in the form of 'Emotions / Let The Show Begin' and their collaboration with Mark Reeves, 'Turbulence / Violets'. More compilation appearances followed and in October of this year their co-production 'Morphism' featured on John Digweed and Nick Muir's 'Versus' album. Having joined forces with M.E.M.O., the trio present a techno double-header in the form of 'Base' and 'Viking Princess'. Base matches the spoken vocals of Leo Samuel with a powerful, abrasive yet groovy tech soundtrack. Viking Princess is a polar opposite of sorts. Pipes and chimes sound above a strong kick-drum and scything fx on this driving but tender creation.

HARDER... DARKER... STRONGER... was the tag-line and “Disconnect/Reconnect”, the third studio album from The Japanese Popstars, garnered plenty of critical praise and won the hearts and minds of many forward-thinking music fans throughout 2013, proving to be a big success for John Digweed’s Bedrock label. So fittingly, it falls to Gary Curran and Gareth Donoghue to kick-off the 2014 release schedule with a timely revisit to three of the album’s boldest tracks, with superb heavy-duty remixes from London based Sharooz and Barcelona’s Coyu.

The mighty and melodic “Vision” and insanely noisy “Heavy Hitter” battle it out to see who can become Techno champion of the world, a duel that can only result in them both sharing the podium, being so distinctly different in attitude and being unforgettably memorable. It was the original version of “Matter Of Time” (featuring Green Velvet on vocals) that took the 2012 IMS by storm, catching the ears of Laurent Garnier, Francois K, Carl Cox and John Digweed, who promptly signed TJP to Bedrock. Now, for 2014, it reappears with a suitably massive Coyu Remix. With his Suara label currently one of the most prominent imprints in the world of Techno, Coyu’s pedigree is of the highest order and he stands as one of the most charted artists in Resident Advisor's history. Sharooz (owner of La Bombe), whose recent tracks on GND Records have been flying high, is no slouch either! His decidedly twisted remix of “Heavy Hitter” is impressive in the extreme and will no doubt be causing chaos everywhere it lands.

There can be no doubt, that this next salvo from The Japanese Popstars is destined to be heard in the dirtiest of dark rooms and at the biggest nocturnal festival shows worldwide, throughout 2014 and beyond. These boys are on fire and have their gaze fixed firmly on the future.

Best of Bedrock 2013 Special by John Digweed - Transitions

Stelios Vassiloudis 
It Was What It Was Remixes
1. Feed - Russ Gabriel Remix
2. Green In Blue - One Of Them Remix aka Niko Dalagelis
3. Green In Blue - Satoshi Tomiie Remix
4. I Burn Like - Guy J Remix
5. I Burn Like - Wiretappeur Remix

7. What's That - Arjun Vagale & Ramiro Lopez Remix 
(Bedrock) BEDSVRMX2 
Release: 20th January 2014



From ambient soundscapes, down-tempo vocal tracks and slo-mo house, through to deliciously deep experiments, firing tech-house and acid grooves, “It Is What It Is”, the supremely exciting double-disc debut artist album from Stelios Vassiloudis, was released on Bedrock at the tail end of 2011. Then, at the height of summer 2012, came the first of a planned series of album remix packages featuring interpretations from some of the most exciting producers from around the world, fittingly titled “It Was What It Was”. Now, at the start of 2014, comes the next highly anticipated, super-exciting selection of remixes.

The original album is rich with the many vocal talents it hosts, one of the most glorious contributions coming from Astrid Suryanto on “Feed”, giving Russ Gabriel (whose name has been synonymous with UK Techno since 1993) the perfect backdrop to create an absolutely beautiful, fresh interpretation. The brilliant One Of Them (aka New York based Niko Dalagelis) continues with the beauty theme, taking the vocal contribution of Japan’s Tomomi Ukomori on “Green Is Blue” into a deeply chilled house excursion, whilst the Japanese music master, Satoshi Tomiie, interprets things a more upbeat manner that is equally enthralling for his remix.

Guy J’s work is always touched with a magic and emotion that few rival and his remix of “I Burn Like” is yet another example of why his productions are so special. This time the distinctive original vocals of Darren Murphy are meshed into a deeply hypnotic journey. In contrast, Wiretappeur (the production partnership between Florian Kruse, Nils Nurnberg and Stelios himself) turn “I Burn Like” into a seductive slo-mo vocal house masterpiece.

Dieb Audio’s John Dalagelis (brother of the aforementioned Niko) was heavily involved in the original album project and returns here with a delightfully adventurous, jazz-influenced, widescreen techno take on “Repetition”. The superb selection of creative remixes is brought to a finale with India’s Arjun Vagale joining forces with Spain’s Ramiro Lopez to put together a frenetic percussive acid interpretation of “What's That” (odd one out here as the original track first appeared on the Bedrock 14 compilation album).

Anyone open to the emotions on display here really should check out “It Is What It Is”, the original debut artist album by Stelios Vassiloudis, as it is much more than a collection of great tracks. It’s an exceptionally exciting, bold and brave body of music that defiantly stands the test of time, beyond fickle trends and fashions, and remains a benchmark release from Bedrock to this day.

Bedrock welcome Dutch artist Philogresz to the family with his latest track 'Mooder'. The productions of Ilker Soylu have been described as "channeling unexpected sudden deep space or possibly even beyond that", and when listening to Mooder you can empathise with this quote as the listener is gently drawn in by his melodic synth line and warm, pulsing bass. The clever hammer shots that evolve into robotic bird song add to the draw as Philogresz casually builds with piercing but never painful chords. Pain is the last thing we feel here as Mooder's constantly evolving composition sees that we are enveloped by the music. Smooth, steady and uplifting…

Mooder is released as a single track download on February 3rd 2014

Bedrock welcome exciting duo Madben & Yann to the family with their label debut 'Breathe / Neighbours'. 

A French pairing of youth and experience. Madben first broke onto the scene off the back of his electric festival sets across France in 2012. It was the following year that he really made his mark on the production front with his singles 'Alphecca'  and 'Dual' (with Ian O'Donovan). 

Yann, DJ, composer and sound engineer for over fifteen years is an aritst noted for the quality of his studio skills. Having finally stepped out of the musical shadows of others in 2012, Yann found instant success with first productions alongside Tristan Consalvi (Yann & Tristan). Together with Madben he looks to launch into 2014 in grand style with the release of their Bedrock double header.
