Steffan Blaze makes his label debut on Moon Beam Records this April with a serenely melodic five-track release entitled ‘Iris’.

Nice based DJ & producer Steffan Blaze is a rising name on France's southern house and techno scene. With early releases on Electropical and Gaia Sound, ​Moon Beam Records now welcome Steffan this coming April, as he prepares to deliver five immersive cuts in the form of the ‘Iris’ EP.

Steffan opens the EP with the downbeat ‘Iris’, a richly melodic slice of electronic sounds, combining spiralling leads with eerie soundscapes and distorted elements, whilst ‘Orenoque’ ups the tempo, fusing smooth melodies with atmospheric synths and warped vocal samples. ‘Dreamer Planet’ delves into deep territory fuelled by a vibrant lead, hazy chords and delicate pads to deliver a truly nebulous production. Penultimate cut, ‘Lake Distortion’ continues the cosmic vibe, as arpeggiated synths unite with manipulated vocal chops and spiralling effects. The astonishing ‘Knysna’ rounds out this well-executed EP in style, whilst marking an impressive label debut in the process.

‘Iris’ by Steffan Blaze will be released on Moon Beam Records on 26th April 2021.

Turbo Recordings is humbled to present this lovingly rendered reissue of Neutron 9000’s lost ambient trance classic. Composed and recorded at London’s Orinoco Studios in 1994 by Dominic Woosey, Lady Burning Sky was originally released on the legendary UK label Rising High.

Turbo prides itself on living in the moment and fighting for the future, and this rare excursion into the past is arguably the most forward-looking release of the next five years. To learn how this is possible, we sat down with label owner Tiga, for whom this represents a true passion project.

Why a reissue?

I live my life with no regrets. That said, I do see the value in righting the wrongs of history and shining a light on music that hasn’t received the recognition it deserves. I’ve never met anyone who knows Lady Burning Sky, and it'’s usually the first thing I ask as a way of establishing dominance. This album has been a constant companion of mine for decades, and it’s high time others got in on that companionship.

What is your history with Neutron 9000?

I met Dominic Woosey on my first trip on my own to Europe. Yeah, I was a Eurail Kid, stowing away in sleeper cars and riding the winds of culture across the continent. I got Dominic’s number through a mutual friend, and when I met up with him in Berlin. he instantly became the coolest person I had ever met, which is crazy when you consider I grew up in Quebec. It was like I had fallen in with Berlin techno royalty, an eager young squire getting my first glimpse of a kingdom I had no idea existed.

What was so special about him?

He was the only person I knew who was into early trance, but he wasn’t a new age hippie. He was aloof. He was witty. He took the piss. And this album reflects that. It’s like hardcore ambient. It is distinctly not about peace, love, and unity, and that made a real impression on me.

The album originally came out on Rising High, which was my favorite label at the time. And while a lot of early 90s stuff has been revived, this hasn’t. There simply aren’t that many albums this good that have remained largely unknown.

Why is this such an important release for you?

Ambient has perhaps the lowest bar to clear in all of music, and Lady Burning Sky stands out as a real record by a real multidimensional artist, something no one else could have made. As someone who chilled out super fucking hard throughout the 90s, I can say with full confidence that it is a true anomaly in the genre, as tangibly great a the best pop and dance music. It was made with a real record company budget, but is completely uncompromising and uncommercial. This album should not exist, but it does. And you should not be hearing it, yet you are. I once said that real art is a celebration of the impossible. That sounded great at the time, and now it rings truer than ever as you come to realize this secret flame has endured all along. A lifetime burning doing the neutron dance.

Neutron 9000 - Nab

'After releasing two singles earlier this year Leaps aka Luke Osborne drops his first full EP under this alias. The 2002 EP features the two singles ‘Fell For’ and ‘Miles Apart’ which have received far ranging acclaim and support from a host of tastemaking DJs.

Alongside is title track ‘2002,’ swooning and emotion laced it sits nicely between introspective electronica and dancefloor heater. ‘Echoes’ is the most straight 4/4 track on the release. Bubbling up with strong kicks and airey pads, a distinctive piano hook and perfect atmospherics, that are fast becoming the signature Leaps sound.

The EP released via his own Leaps & Bounds label, alongside his live duo project Nula, marks Leaps as one to watch over the coming year. '
