Master skipper of Work Them Records, regular contributor to the REKIDS fold, UK-born / Berlin-based jockey and producer Spencer Parker turns up on our show with a two-hour round of his delectably well-knit house and techno blends. Merging the modular soulfulness of raw house early exponents with the harder throb of 909-driven dynamics, Parker embarks us onto one of his typically bouncy and scholarly sound tribulations, flush with the old-school charm and future-proof vision that’s made him the unmissable name he is today.

Reclaim Your City  

Reclaim Your City 455 | Spencer Parker

EPM Podcast 147 comes from UK techno artist, Regis. Karl O’Connor has remained a maverick and iconic figure on the global techno stage, ever since his 'Montreal' EP burned his name across the world's dancefloors some 25 years ago. His unconventional and single-minded label, Downwards, often shrouded by mythology, remains one of the most revered electronic labels in the history of techno. So when Karl offered to cast a critical eye over some of the key releases in EPM’s 20 year history we of course jumped at the chance to invite Birmingham’s finest over. A decision that we have subsequently regretted ever since.

With a wide array of influences, which go far beyond the musical universe; the painter Val Denham, writers and authors Samuel Beckett, Eza Pound, Jean Genet and Georges Bataille, music wise, his source of inspiration includes Einsturzende Neubauten, Pussy Galore, Stooges, Johnny Thunders, John Cale, Sex Gang Children, World Domination Enterprise, XON/Sweet Exorcist, etc. He has been quoted saying: "The things that I liked were made by people who had actually been making music since the post-punk era, if not before." 

Never one to tread the easy path, O'Connor alongside known projects such as British Murder Boys (with Surgeon), O/V/R with James Ruskin and Sandwell District alongside Function and Silent Servant has more recently collaborated with artists such as Ann Margaret Hogan (piano) and Justin K. Broadrick on guitar (previously of Godflesh) for a one-off concert performed live in the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus, Argolis, Greece as well as releasing last year's stunning new album 'In This Is The Light That You Miss' on Downwards.  In his continuous search to side-step convention, he remains one of the more highly regarded creative forces within the British techno/electronic scene.

Now over 20 years after their creation EPM are proud to release 'Beyond the Reach of Time'. An EP that gives long-lost Regis tracks the official release they deserve as the closing chapter in our EPM20 vinyl series. ‘EPM20’ is out now.

Regis – 'Beyond the Reach of Time' is out now on EPMmusic.

Luke Hess – Detroit, MI USA
[DeepLabs / Rekids / Dolly / FXHE / Planet-e / Echocord]

Born in 1980 and raised in the Detroit area, Luke Hess has harnessed a deep appreciation for electronic music and the expression of the underground movement. His background in mathematics and engineering has given him a scientific approach to the dance floor, using frequencies, tones, and soundscapes to transform surroundings and mood. 

His faith based music production has landed him numerous vinyl releases (EP's, LP's, and remixes) on labels like Planet-e, Rekids, FXHE, Echocord, Kontra-Musik, Dolly, Finale Sessions, Ornaments, and Prime Numbers among others. His debut album was
released in early May 2009 by Denmark based label Echocord.

 In 2010 he began his own interpretation of Detroit techno with his Detroit project and record label - DeepLabs. His sophomore
album “Keep On” was released on FXHE records in 2012 and received a Recommended 4.5/5 rating on Resident Advisor. 

With 20 years of DJ experience, he is regarded as a perfectionist behind the decks layering his tracks in a very detailed and hypnotic manner. Luke has played at many notable venues and festivals in Europe, Asia, Australia, and North America including numerous appearances at the illustrious Berghain/Panoramabar in Berlin. Luke’s continued hard work in the studio and as a music collector/curator combined with his unyielding interest in technology and sound will no doubt stimulate the boundaries of electronic music.

RYC 186 Phase Fatale

Reclaim Your City 186 | Phase Fatale

The 050th of weekly Mix show of Suburban Avenue
This show with guest: REEKO @brosda-tkpunck

Born in Oviedo (Asturias) in 1981, Reeko is a dj who has rapidly attained the recognition other artists have taken a long time to gain. In his case it’s not been a matter of chance or coincidence, but the result of his innate and incredible capacity to be prolific, alongside his obsession for perfection. He marks is his birth as a dj about 1997, but it wasn’t until his first release in 2002 under the Swedish label Emergence that he became known professionally.
There is no need to name all the aliases that Juan Rico has used to release the diverse artistic sensations which flow from him, but these are characteristic which define his personality and are a part of REEKO himself. Producing and performing under different names allows him to concentrate fully on each individual event by devoting himself completely to an idea or style to which he is totally faithful, putting aside for a moment sounds and influences that don’t belong in the particular character which he is mutating into at the time.
The result is a knock out. Under the name of REEKO he has released huge techno productions which have charted and been played by the best djs in the world, right from the first tracks and EPs for labels as reputable as Theory, Main out, Integrale Muzique, Deafmosaic, Inceptive, Rxxistance, Trece Records, Symbolism, Planet Rhythm, Warm up or Palicavonzvreca. 
Reeko created Mental Disorder, his “pathological” label/laboratory, in 2003 under which he has released 12 works of ever increasing quality. The latest (The Day After, 2010) received a wonderfully warm welcome as one of the best releases in Hispanic Techno of the year. Artists such as Gennaro le fosse, Pacou, Oscar Mulero have collaborated with his very personal label.
Next came the label Evidence in 2005, where he opens up to his passion for the darkest and sickest part of the human mind. He looks deep within the human psyche where most of us would never go or dare explore. That is where the laconic, aggressive and totally sweeping sound that characterises him stems from. Reputable artists who have published with Evidence are Function, Paul Bailey and Trolley Route, to name a few.
The story so far reaches a climax when Reeko joins the cream of techno: the PoleGroup, formed in 2008. On the frontline of this group is Oscar Mulero, indisputable leader of the darkest Iberian techno, joined by the Asturian duo Exium and the surprising and experienced Christian Wünsch. The most recent addition to this team is Architectural, someone who will give us lots and lots to talk about.

Reeko finds himself, unexpectedly but deservedly, among the elite of Hispanic techno.
