Leading Australian touring brand Thick As Thieves launch new in-house label as they welcome German duo Super Flu to deliver their ‘Pancham’ EP, accompanied by a remix from rising Australian pairing The Journey.

An influential name down under for the last decade, Melbourne-based event favourites Thick As Thieves continue to lead the way when it comes to the curation of international and local talent within the Australian house and techno scene. Featuring as the country’s premier touring company, bringing names such as Patrick Topping, Claptone, Andhim, ANNA, Rebüke, and Mathew Jonson to name just a few to Australian soil over the past few years, April sees a new string added to the brand’s bow as they launch their new self-titled in-house imprint, continuing their ethos of ‘Raising The Vibration’.

“There’s such creative talent out there pushing the boundaries of sound, and some are bound to get my attention. There needed to be an outlet to introduce those sounds and warm up a few ears prior to taking on these artists at tour level. It’s always a bonus when the dancefloor erupts, and an artist is playing their own track or remix. Sometimes it’s the difference between an average gig and a gig that’s etched into the memory. Here’s a chance for the Thick As Thieves crew to give these artists our best shot at raising the vibration all round.” - Mike Toner, Thick As Thieves

Developed naturally across the past ten years, the label will bring tracks discovered on the dancefloor to a global audience and serve as a home for fresh music from leading international names including Monkey Safari alongside exciting, rising Australian talent such as Not Just Me. Kicking things off, 9th April welcomes the label’s debut release courtesy of leading German duo Super Flu, who step up to deliver their entrancing ‘Pancham’ EP following music via the likes of Dynamic, Crosstown Rebels, and Moon Harbour, backed by a remix from emerging Melbourne-based duo, The Journey.

Title cut ‘Pancham’ showcases the German pairing at their best, combining crisp organic percussion with wavering synths, eerie eastern-influenced melodies and rolling grooves, whilst ‘Nicotine’ weaves off-kilter leads atop of wandering stabs, sharp drum licks and snaking low-ends to showcase two original cuts packed full of quality. Rounding out proceedings, rising Melbourne pairing Jacob Malmo and Tom Evans, aka The Journey, up the energy and introduce pulsating bass patterns, vocal chants and hair-raising builds throughout their interpretation of ‘Nicotine’ - shaping up a slick label debut from one of Australia’s most important players within the house and techno landscape.

Super Flu ‘Pancham’ EP drops via Thick As Thieves on 9th April 2021.

Samer Soltan brings his debut LP to Renaissance…

Hot off the back of ‘Elba’ on his own Santuary imprint, Samer Soltan now lands at Renaissance to deliver his debut LP, ‘Solitude’. And what a journey it’s been to get to there, both creative and literally.

Originally hailing from Tunisia, it wasn’t quite two years ago, in the middle of a pandemic, Samer took the brave decision to move to Brussels. “The relocation was two-fold,” he explains, “I had secured a place to study electronic production at college here, but I also knew I had to be in mainland Europe to give my career the best chance of succeeding.”

Once settled, officially qualified and with a legion of admirers and supports that include Dixon, Âme, Denis Horvat, Joris Voorn, John Digweed, Frankey & Sandrino, plus many more, Samer finally turned his hand to that rarest of commodities in dance - an actual LP. “I know they’ve become a bit of a rarity in this digital age,” he continues, “but it’s always been an ambition, just like releasing on Renaissance, which I grew-up listening to. It seemed a very natural realisation bringing the two together.”

For Renaissance’s part, the decision to pick-up the album was an easy one. “Album’s are so tricky. Producing twelve tracks (as is the case here), that are as diverse and consistently brilliant as ‘Solitude’ is an amazing feat, “ confirms Renaissance’ Geoff Oakes.

Kicking-off with the infectious lead single, ’Chkoun’, the stage is set for a production masterclass that takes in indie-funk with ‘Crazy’; the haunting electronic melancholy of ‘Is This A Dream’; ‘No Time For The Past’s’ beautiful melodic ascent and the twisted, genre-defying skills of ‘Unknown Me’, ‘Time Machine’ and ‘Cyberpunk’, which walk that in-demand line between indie and techno. He even manages to bring things to a string-unwinding, deep house conclusion with the Kate Bush-esque, ‘Control Your Mind’. It is truly virtuoso stuff.

“I called the album ‘Solitude’ because it perfectly captured the sentiment of this journey; from the move to the creative process itself, putting the album together, I did feel lonely and exposed at times. It’s very rewarding to finally get it out there,” Samer humbly concludes.
