10 years ago in 2015, The Golden Lion in Todmorden opened its doors under the guidance of Gig & Waka, Cloudwater brewed their first ever beers, the dance floors of Manchester got introduced to the world of Supernature Disco and from his spare room at home in Bolton Chris Massey started Sprechen.

What followed over the next decade has been a wild ride of amazing people, memorable (though fuzzy!) parties, creativity, art, expression, performance and at the centre of it all of course, the music. Sprechen has never been one style or sound. A reflection of varied musical tastes without any limitations of style or genres, just a passion to share good music. Over the last decade Sprechen has been lucky enough to both work with and meet many like-minded cosmic creatives that share this mindset and that have all played a major role in the story.

Ein Null is a collection of original tracks from some of Sprechen’s nearest & dearest who, for the last 10 years, have helped shaped the label via releases, remixes or performing at events. It’s wonky & weird, banging & beautiful, cosmic & conscious-expanding and it continues to connect the invisible dots of club music and more abstract listening experiences.

From basements & beyond to sunsets & psychedelic socials…we are pleased to present this electronically charged selection of soundscapes courtesy of like-minded musical humans including; The Utopia Strong, A Certain Ratio, Léna C., Gina Breeze, Low Pulse, Psychederek, Lindstrøm, Supernature Disco, PBR Streetgang and of course Chris Massey.

Our friend from the coast Ed Mahon makes a triumphant return to Sprechen with an absolute stunning selection of his fave tracks from over the years which he has lovingly recreated, re-tweaked and firmly slapped his own unique stamp upon them. With help from his close creative friends Louise Spiteri & Snem K, Ed delivers 3 stunning selections which cover spaced out cosmic balearic bizz and pumping EBM sweaty workouts.

Voice Of Africa's Hoomba Hoomba gets a piano dubbed out rework with the sun beam factor cranked up to 500. A chugging broken beat and subtle use of a vocal sample with the piano high in the mix makes this perfect for a poolside playlist (as the mix names suggest) or for a very special end of night/big hugs type of scenario.

What You Deserve features the vocal talents of French based singer Snem K who tackles this slamming rework of a little know number from the very early 80's. Industrial style action with a vocal reminiscent of DAF and other associated metal dance maestros. Sweaty basements ahoy!

Last up is a cover of the early 80's New Jack Swing/late electro banger Temptation originally by Corina. Totally stripped back and built around pads & piano played by Ed with Louise Spiteri taking over vocal duties. This is absolute lush which will guarantee some smiles as bright as the sunshine it should be played under. Big Croatian festival tackle!

Landing with an almighty bass bin rumbling on Sprechen is another northern musical disciple from around our way. Kiaki has been a regular visitor to many a Sprechen and Sticky Heat social and defo knows his onions when it comes to rocking the discotheques. With previous releases on Me Me Me and the likes of Erol Alkan giving hi props its with a mega vibe that we welcome him to the label!

Northern Solar is a straight up, lost in the sweat & smoke kind of club track. Hypnotic and hooky with its relentless pulsating low end thud & rumbles accompanied by synth stabs and squelches a like. One for the mutant acid militia.

And Then Some does what it says on the tin and then some. Slower paced and stripped back allowing for a more infectious groove to take over. But still packing bags of electronic drama. Perfect 'transition track' for when you need to flip things up a notch (or 2). Kind of peaky but not to much, what we like to call at Sprechen as a 'subtle banger'.

Northern Solar/And Then Some

We’re big fans here at Sprechen of Frederik Hendrik and have been hammering his release on HeSheThey and Pomme Fritte in many sets over the years which is what drive us to drop him a fax and see if he’d be up for gracing us with his presence on Sprechen. After nearly 3 years (in which time he hands built himself a garden studio!) we are please to welcome him to the fold with 2 absolute killer cuts on Andere Landen.

Het Spiraal is a turbo charged, head down stomper which packs bags of funk and dance floor groove into its 6 & half min run time. Deranged synths stab in & out with phased out melodies and enough space disco soundscapes to make Prins Thomas quake in his Norwegian slippers!

Title track Andere Landen is a touch of a deeper affair but still packing the jackin’ along with some wobbly synth sounds & Italo style vibes and an absolute slamming drop with a twisted vocal wrapping itself into your psyche. Not quite a peak time but a tune you’d drop peak time (if that makes sense!?)…another subtle banger that will hook ‘em in. HUGE.

Frederik Hendrik - Andere Landen

As we have always said at Sprechen, one of the best things about running a label is being able to work with people that have played a significant role in soundtracking your journey through music. It’s with this latest release that we can tick that box again and welcome Jon Pleased Wimmin to the label for a stomping collaboration with Bristol based self-confessed ‘House Music Fanatic’, Dave K.

Higher is the result of these 2 musical minds getting together in the studio and is a no holds barred, peak time pumper that thunders out of the traps and cranks the endorphin machine up to 11. With nods to Fantazia rave tapes of your youth and dashes of secret hidden parties in Ibiza, this has all that and more.

Both chaps deliver their own remixes with Dave K dropping a darker Italo take that is full of ample pumping elements with a suitable roof raising piano breakdown, a biggie!
Jon Pleased Wimmin takes things more subterranean and cranks the tempo to full force tops off territory on his ‘Poppers’ mix which does indeed hit you like a blast of amyl nitrate!

A hefty package for hefty dance floors & late night shenanigans…hold tight!

We're heading deep into the bowels of the cosmic basements with our latest vinyl release which is headed up by those 2 lovely souls from Leeds, PBR Streetgang.
From rocking it all over the globe to releasing a plethora of absolute yessmate bangers & a long player too, we're pretty thrilled that they have joined our family of music makers with their double A side E.P. 'Trans Pennine Express'.

GCP gets the party started and instantly takes you to 4am at Barbarellas Discotheque with stacks of throbbing-ness & pumping, laser reaching vibes whilst the boys take you down a wormhole of electronic music pleasure.

Condor jumps ships from Barbarellas & hot foots it over to Berlin to sweat it out in basement with only a smoke machine for company and tons of ravers. Pulsating synth surfs across a chubby bass with some slick as heck cosmic stabs making this a multitude of all that is good in proper dance music.

If the originals are on the dance floor then we made sure to go full on weirded out on the remixes and crikey they don't disappoint! ELLES totally flips the script on GCP and turns in a hazy, broken beat style electro groover with a full vocal giving it the sound of a lost track by A Certain Ratio. 

Psychederek takes the 'make sure to go really wonky!' advice we gave when sending the parts to Condor and matches ELLES with his full on acid tinged psych wig out rework. Th beat sure broken, the bass guitar punches, the old school piano thumps and the whole thing sounds like an amazing Andrew Weatherall remix from the mid 90's you never knew existed.

Something for everyone, from clubs to shebeens to after parties & beyond..

The mystery around the producer/producers known as the Yum Yum Club continues to flourish with a debut E.P. on Sprechen which promises 'Music For The Rave'. Following the track record of a cracking remix for Paper Recordings and the pretty amazing 'An Acid Love Feel Track' which featured Maria Uzor on Sprechen, this first outing is packing excessive 3am  murky basement slammers with a ton of groove & energy that reaches peak face chewing scenes!

Trippy Vocal Track delivers exactly that, a warped up twisted vocal sample wrapped around a twanging style bass with equally as twanging synth stabs alongside fully jacked up percussion & hits that never drops below full throttle!
Equal parts hypnotic - slamming & yes, trippy.

Piano Rave Track does exactly what it says on the rave tin. An absolute HUGE piano sample that's been dug up from warehouse raves of the past that surfs a monsterous bass line complete with hardcore MC asking 'do you understand!?', yes we do indeed...its time to rave!

Closing off the hat trick party is the addition of An Acid Love Feel Track which features Mariz Uzor on vocals. Originally released as part of the Edgy Future Discotheque Vol.3 compilation the track picked up some serious rotation on Radio 1 by Jaguar Worldwide and was hand picked by Jodie Harsh as her Radio 1 'Dance floor Moment'.

We thought it only fitting to include it & a radio edit here for the full Yum Yum Club listening experience...

Recorded live from our electronic jaunt into space earlier this year, the sounds of Rinny from a superb 2 hour warm up set of the finest slo-mo & acid house chug which perfectly set the scenes of what was an incredible night.

An endless supporter of ALFOS and Sprechen, Rinny is bloody brilliant and its always a pleasure to hear her behind the decks where she is as much a star as when she's on the other side making moves on the dance floor.

We return to The Yard, Dec 28th for some end of year action of an earlier setting from 4pm - 10pm...ticket waiting list is open now and already getting hefty: https://skiddle.com/e/38091220

We love working with local fellow music makers and this one has been long in the works but finally we are pleased to be dropping Serendipity by one of the Doodle members, Tim Shaw aka Amuse Bouche. 5 tracks of varying sounds with a common dance floor aimed trend, from straight up disco tackle to left of field broken beats business. This is a pretty awesome offering that is steeped in Mancunian night life vibes for those that prefer a non-Instagram focused night out.

Starting off comes a top shelf cover version of one of the catchiest cross over tracks ever! Acapella sees Lady Lady feature on vocal duties of ‘that’ ear worm which she does a stunning sonic workout for some big sing-a-long scenes for the dance floor. Big unashamedly party business!

Serendipity goes all jacking & wonky with some 80’s style breakdance beats alongside synth lines & rumbling bass notes which builds around a stuttered vocal sample before dropping to deliver the goods. Mutant-Cosmic-Breakdance is the order of the day here.

Night Drive slows things all the way down and takes off across the neon lit highway in a white Lamborghini to the cosmic outer reaches. Dreamy & ethereal in equal measure with a touch of The Cure if they were fully electronic. One for the sundown sets when you need to create utter bliss.

Pastiche throws a net over all things left of centre to create a straight up peak time slammer. Scattered drums & percussion with a jungle loop undertone, stuttered vocal sample (which may be familiar) ad bags of energy to create a real roof raiser.

Take It Easy finishes of the E.P. and is a large helping of Italo inspired Nu-Disco style shenanigans with probably the most hookiest vocal we’ve ever been involved with. All slightly wobbly but in all the right places and ready to be dropped for some peak time smoke filled situations.

The bond between Sprechen & Black Hawks of Panama is a long one which started when Danny Whitehead (aka Black Hawks) gave Sprechen’s Chris Massey his very first ever DJ gig after he won a local DJ competition in sunny Bolton many moons ago! Skip forward a good 20 odd years and things have now gone full circle with a 2nd release dropping on Sprechen by Black Hawks of Panama and it’s another absolute top shelf discotheque rocker of seismic proportions.

Discoteca-Bisteca slaps from the very get go with the pump-o-meter cranked up to 11! Filtered diva vocals, trippy synth lines and a chest thumping bass line all of which builds & builds & builds before dropping into some serious filtered breakdown action. You know when you need to choose your first track to play when taking over from the warmup to announce your arrival? This is it!

Primero tips the hat to one of the most well-known Italo disco tracks to ever strike fear into anyone that is thinking of smuggling. Lovingly reworked and given the Black Hawks treatment for maximum dance floor igniting when you need to drop a secret weapon. This one does it all…big stuff indeed!

Sean Johnston: "Cheeky Cuts!"

David Dunne: "Another belter!"

Trevor Funk: "Very nice…Thanks!"

Olle Abstract: "Discoteca-Bisteca is the one for me. Will play this a lot this summer. Good stuff"

Fingerman: "Nice couple of homages there! Large peak time sounds! Both are strong but the Chase tribute JUST edges it here"

Flash Atkins: "Festival lift-off? Step this way... It's all about Dicsoteca-Bisteca for me."

Andy Buchan: "Reach for the lasers! Loving Primero, great update and definitely one for my sets"

Ed Mahon: "Discoteca Bisteca will tear it up all Summer long I'm sure, shades of Sasha sets of old brought right up to date with some banging production. Wallop!"

Rob Jones/Supernatrure: "Two unadulterated bangeroonies right there... Perfecto, but wouldn't expect anything else from Danny. Great release."

The Sprechen & Jakarta link ups continue with this latest offering which comes in collaborative form by Sprechen founder Chris Massey and Bayu Putra (the artist formerly known as Baypoet!) on 'The Experience Of Space'. 3 straight up, no nonsense club tracks of the Italo Space Disco kind. Prepare for some serious massaging of your endorphins.

Hang The Love is out of the gates and thunders along with pumping bass lines atop soaring synths and piano keys giving it a peak time or end of nighter vibe. Familiarity ensures yet there's something distinctly original about this fusion of the Manchester & Indonesian underground. Well recommended!

Anila Dancer keeps on the tip of Hang The Love but treads into tougher territory with an almost John Carpenter edge to it. Pulsing arps with a stabby piano melody for sweaty dance floor scenarios and a slightly 'ooft!' breakdown. Very nice indeed.

Title track Future Departure closes the party off and pops with 1980's electro style synths & a bass line to match before it drops into some North West UK style pianos making this very much an Italo-Rave-Cosmic-Psychedelic essential bit of dance floor weapon-ism. BIG!

Bayu Putra & Massey - Hang The Love

The bond between Sprechen & the Idaho based duo Causeway (Allison Rae & Marshall Watson) has been steadily building over recent time with various message & props to each other as well Allie providing outstanding vocals on The Thief Of Time release last year.

With previous releases on Italians Do It Better (one of our fave labels!) they are now front & centre on Sprechen with their latest single 'Dancing With Shadows', a pulsating piece of hefty synth style action which precedes their forthcoming long player.

The single is a sonic exploration of the duo's expansive musical palate which cites influences from contemporaries such as The Cure & New Order (and even John Hughes movies!) but with a presence that is 100% unique to Causeway. Stripped back instrumentation and stacked synths create a dreamlike soundscape where Allison's vocal becomes the guiding light and provider of additional emotion on this neon soaked journey.

Dancing With Shadows comes across like a main track from the sequel to Drive that we never got (though we live in hope!), cinematic, stunning and a real plentiful taster of what is to come on their album next year.

Remixes take the track into other dysfunctional disco realms with Marshall himself providing a pumped up club mix that cranks everything from the OG up to 11 on the 'chunk-o-meter'. Whilst Sprechen's very own Chris Massey goes in for the acid kill with his 303 tweaking A Love From Outer Space style mid set stomper. Speaking of A Love From Outer Space, Sean Johnston himself gives a deep, moody & more psychedelic affair to his rework that takes things subterranean. Whilst Kiaki takes things deeper into stripped back chug territory which is equal parts hypnotic & hooky with a stomping backdrop...big!

No stranger to DJing alongside ALFOS's Sean Johnston as per scenes back in the days of Electric Elephant at Barbarellas, this was actually Massey's very first time playing for ALFOS.

Picking things up right after Rinny's superb opening set, this is a diverse & genre hot footing selection of chuggy rave based antics (including a few choice Sprechen releases!) which lay down the foundations before Sean took over.

“In a reality where the sun is neon and the streets are lit with lasers…where the message of love is communicated through soaring synths and haunting vocals, you’ll find the music of Causeway”

American synth-wave project, Causeway, is the brainchild of Marshall Watson and Allison Rae. Through sophisticated downbeat melodrama, lyrical motifs of isolation, and an ultra-vivid wall of sound, the two bring a sizzling synth-laden take on the dream wave genre. Coming to the fore with support from Italians Do It Better, Causeway released their first full length album We Were Never Lost to immediate acclaim, soon landing spots in tv shows Never Have I Ever, and Riverdale.

Fast forward to the here & now and they’ve returned with an updated sound and a new label relationship with Manchester’s Sprechen, on which their new album ‘Anywhere’ is welcomed to the fold.

The enigmatic duo has brought forth a reverb drenched cosmic journey across 10 tracks. Where narratives of dark & light are conveyed via emotional synthesizer soundscapes alongside captive melodies and ethereal vocals to take you on a diverse and cinematic listening experience.

Hints of post punk, new wave and 80’s noir run throughout the album where influences such as The Cure, Cocteau Twins, OMD and New Order are embraced by Causeway’s own unique sonic stylings of electronic music neatly wrapped around each track.

The greatest collaboration we've seen since Bing Crosby & David Bowie blasted out their lungs on Little Drummer Boy! Our very own Chris Massey joins forces with long time Sprechen supporters and closest musical colleagues Supernature for a mighty fine slice of yessmate acid disco chug.

Taken from our forthcoming 10 year anniversary compilation, Walk...Now Walk is a 303 powered rework of a discotheque classic (originally by a certain 6ft drag queen) which has been firmly put through the Massey makeover machine. The result is packing bags of sleaze & sass with a lead vocal from Supernature's BB sat atop a bubbling blast of acid lines, interwoven with relentless chuggy low end energy and hypnotic synth lines peppered throughout.

A perfect transition tune for when the need is there to switch things up from toe tapping to some serious shoulder jerking action...it's a biggie!

The musical output of Sprechen officially gets underway with an outstanding EP of mutant, stomping, twisted disco from Damon Jee that comes with 2 mind melting remixes from Hardway Bros and Il Est Vilaine.

Summer No Summer kicks of proceedings and instantly gets you on the hook with a powerhouse snare stomp thats soon partnered with a low slung arpeggiator bassline and warped pads, wonky crashes…an all important change in key will make your dopamine levels boil over and the dance floor look like a scene from Backdraft…reach for the beans, its a hell of a builder!

Cuir Rouge thunders out of the gate in the same manner of its predecessor and continues to wiggle its hypnotic wonkiness across its 6 & 1/2 minutes run time…perfectly placed drops & sweeps along with some nightmarish stabs for added weirdness lead the way for a pretty awesome breakdown to allow the lasers to be reached for….stick it up to Defcon 10.

Hardway Bros tackles Summer No Summer with remix gusto and the result is a full on Balearic-psych workout that will guarantee to take matters on a techni-coloured trip to the dance floor cosmos…with some added guitar twanging by Tici Taci's very own Duncan Gray, this remix is prepped & ready for those moments when you really want to throw things as leftifeld as possible and take the audience along to phase 2 of the journey.

Having had a recent sell out release on Kompakt the guys from Il Est Vilaine sprinkle some remix dust over Cuir Rouge and completely flip the script…soaring pads from the get go lead the way to some dubbed out vocals of their very own before dropping with a full on slamming bass line & echo'd synth lines…this is main stage action at its finest!

Damon Jee - Summer No Summer (96kbs)

Hot on the heels of Sprechen’s debut release from Damon Jee which found favour amongst names such as Ivan Smagghe, Justin Robertson, Nick Warren, Jacques Renault & Kasper Bjorke comes the follow up from label boss & founder Chris Massey!

The Pink Flamingo EP kicks of with a no frills, straight up powerhouse pumper in the form of “You Are Divine” which tips the hat at the self proclaimed “Filthiest Person Alive”….a big bubbling Hi-Nrg style workout with added keys & cosmic drenched weirdo drum sounds (courtesy of the Emperor Machine) ensures that more than just the top shirt button will be getting undone during this campaign.

This is followed by “Floor To The Four” which takes the jackin baton and goes for gold….cut up & stuttered vocals from a Chicago producer are scattered across a full on 909 workout that leads to a drop where said producer explains the inner workings of certain studio toys….one for the geeks & the freaks….all are invited!

ROTCIV gets busy on remix duty for Floor To The Four and brings all his Berlin based wisdom to the party to deliver a whole much darker affair which belongs in the deepest of darkrooms…the addition of piano lightens the mood whilst still keeping one foot firmly in the mist…lovely stuff.

1. Chris Massey - You Are Divine (feat. Emperor Machine)

We’re hopping on the laser grid and heading to Santa Cruz courtesy of Norway’s very own Karl Fraunhofer for the 12th Sprechen release!

The title track is the thing of a synth lovers wet dream…arps, classic drum machines, soaring pads and some killer lead lines are all here on this neon painted soundscape that sounds like the pairing of a lost Canon Video release and a level from Outrun!

Tone keeps the synth spirit going with a slightly slowed down affair that still throbs like an Italian studio in the mid 80’s. Jazz sounding melody stabs with some gritty chord work make this one perfect for driving your white lamborghini down to the shops to buy another pair of espidrilles.

Remix action is from an absolute legend of the true Ibizan party scene by way of Leo Mas who gets the house vibes painted all over Santa Cruz whilst still retaining an air of balearic-ness. Manchester’s very own Neil Diablo gets to work on Tone and gives it his trademark balearic disco makeover with dashing if Italo influence that is certain to do some damage over the Summer festival dance floors!

2. Karl Fraunhofer - Tone

Limited run of vinyl with screen printed sleeves, hand stamped centres, lyric poster insert & each individually numbered!

For our second foray into the vinyl world, label head Massey joins forces with Sir Horatio, 'a certain' band from Manchester on collaboration cut 'Music Control'.

The result is a meeting of musical minds that blends together both parties favoured sounds to create a squelchy sandwich of post disco/proto house with a healthy helping of acid & punk funk which should appeal to fans of mucky basements and cosmic mosh-pits.

On board for the remix ride are Manchester's very own 'Prince in a Bergahus' collective, See Thru Hands who lean heavy on the funk and take art deeper into the cosmos whilst the Sink ya Teeth ladies strip things back and go straight for the warehouse with a sparse funk rework that features their own additional vocals with additional acieeeeed!

Massey Vs Sir Horatio - Music Control (Original)

After an incredible debut release on one of our fave labels (Citizens Of Vice) we're mega excited to have the disco-boogie-P:Funk sounds of Paper Street Soul drop a dollop of yessmate on Sprechen!

3 cuts of straight up analogue synth heavy original productions that starts with the sing along vibes of Colour that harks at a bit of Crazy P with heavy Nile Rodgers action whilst True mellows the party ever so slightly and goes a bit more 'late night drive by the coast' with Wonder finishing off the journey in all its cosmic neon glory.

Serious disco sounds for some serious Summer style party soundtracks..boat parties beware, these are essential for your dance floors!

Remixes leave the dazzling lights & go subterranean by way of Massey who goes all Murk on us for his take on Colour whilst Hard Ton (who we're absolutely stoked to have involved!) strip back True to make it a massive peak time sing-a-long almost DJ tool style proto house unit.

Support in from:

Bill Brewster: "Like both mixes of Colour, both v nice!"

Hot Toddy: "The originals are strong, good songs with superb retro production. I love True particularly. Massey's nod to Murk is great, Hard Ton remix decent too, great EP"

Gina Breeze: "Summer vibes :) Love the Massey & Hard Ton remixes too!"

Olle Abstract: "Excellent EP. What we need now. Will play both remixes out, when clubs are opening again!"

Michelle Manetti: "Wicked stuff!"

Trevor Fung: "Loving the Massey mix!"

Andy Buchan: "'Kin hell, this is good stuff! Hard to pick a favourite, all so good!"

Paper Street Soul -   True (Hard Ton Remix)

After a barnstorming, blistering debut with us on Sprechen, Danny Russell & Ronald Christoph return with a follow up of more shoulder jerking & body shuffling inducing selections of chopped up disco house grooves on 'The Love Rescue E.P.'

Disco edits done right are the order of the day here across these 3 tracks, Love Rescue is one for the double handclap and group sing-a-long crew with snappy horns & rapid guitar strums alongside some clever rearrangement by the guys which makes this a big number!

'You Can Do It' defo jumps out of the disco and into the house...specially selected 2 bar & 4 bar loops with a stomping kick drum and a dub delay drenched vocal break resulting in a straight up peak time floor filler that wears its Roulé influence firmly on its sleeve.

'Night Dancer' boards the train to Italy and goes straight to Baldelli's Cosmic Club in all its arp synth glory. Add to that some smarmy little synth stabs & various other dubbed out cuts here & there before a HUGE vocal breaks right through and cements this one as an absolute banger!

Danny Russell & Ronald Christoph - Love Rescue

if you're gonna start the new year with a bang then what better way to do it than with an incredible selection of balearic tinged exotica from a long standing (and personal) friend of us, Mr Dan Wainwright and his 'Hope & Deliverance' E.P.

Lead off track 'I Love You' is all kinds of hazy wooziness & spaced out synths & pads with a slack as heck broken beat that all mixes & swirls in the right places along this cosmic journey.

Nothing Ever Stays The Same keeps on the cosmic path and goes with a dubbed out bass thump for added measure with some full on hypnotic vocal action that sews the package up and feels a bit like Moby when he was really good and not such a bell end.

Feel ups the tempo slightly but keeps things trip and demanding some sun beams at overseas festivals. This is some serious daytime dancing style tackle that will uplift & bliss in equal measures.

Closing track 'I Hope That Joy Will Come To You' is a definite message for everyone to mantra after the rubbish's of 2020. Delay drenched synth chords & kaleidoscope pads wrap around a hooky ukulele (as played live by Dan!) and a psych'd out vocal from the man himself. No beats on this at all, they're not needed. This is pure class in a glass!

Love on this in from:

Bill Brewster: "I Love You is v good"

Black Hawks Of Panama: "Great EP, fantastic abstract electronic beats and sounds.. Will be playing at all sunny venues i visit in the summer"

Marco Giannini: "Really nice 4 track EP, perfect for the poolside parties - when they can start again! Nothing Ever Stays the Same is the standout track. Will support"

Nick Warren: "An outstanding release. 4 lovely tracks from Dan!"

Pete Herbert: "Yes great EP!"

Danny Russell: "Love it, might even include a track in my new Playdate New York mix"
