Canadian born, Berlin based producer @Aquarian debuts on Dekmantel Records’ UFO imprint with Mutations I & II, a series of two EPs following his debut album The Snake That Eats Itself and his collaborative records as AQXDM. The series marks his return to club focused solo material for the first time since 2017.

Originally written as inflection points for his typically boisterous and genre collapsing dj sets, Mutations deftly splices the foundational DNA of his earliest productions — electro, hardcore and broken beat techno – with new and vital influences.

Mutations I: Death, Taxes and Hanger finds Aquarian gleefully contorting mid-2000s dnb tearouts, wrong footed IDM and progressive trance euphoria into thrilling new shapes. Fast techno, hi-tek jazz, amphetamine-addled filter house and breakcore join the fray in Mutations II: Delicious Intent as he pushes intensity levels past breaking point. Whichever the touchstone, the results are clear: distinctly modern, highly-propulsive body music with an unapologetically emotive core.

REVIEWS
__________

"Yogi Rulez guests for this cool and vibrant EP, chilled in the extreme with reggae, dnb and black america influenced vibes. Nuances of Dirty Harry era sounds and feelings intermixed with an up to date culture slant. An EP with many surprises and a well produced form - pure enjoyment."

"A great mix! A real pleasure of rythm, sound and texture's music."

ABOUT THIS RELEASE
________________________

Very first debut EP released by Language Lab label in 2005. The intro reflected the disproportionate intervention of the Czech police at the CzechTek festival, which acted on the orders of Prime Minister Jiří Paroubek. Trafo was inspired by the golden era of big triphop names (Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky ...). Espirito Santo and Mecca are well-known singles that led Yogi Rulez to victory in the Startér (Český rozhlas, Rádio Wave) talent contest. 100 CDs with fine printed booklet artwork were released at own expense.

The classic drum'n'bass modgroup Language Lab was originally formed in 1999 and re-established in the summer of 2003. Label released few recordings focused on quality drum'n'bass, breakbeat, downtempo and everything in-between.
