22-year-old music producer Josh Richards was born in Melbourne, Australia and
lived in several countries by the age of twelve, before settling into the hinterland of
Byron Bay, New South Wales. With skating, photography, filmmaking and music all a central part of life since the beginning, Josh has always had a tendency to dive very deep into interests, accelerating growth through borderline obsession.
“When I was first introduced to electronic music, I fell in love with the energy and I
was taken with the idea that one person could create a whole song, with sound as big as an orchestra, with nothing more than a laptop and a pair of headphones.”
Influenced by pioneering artists in the Berlin techno scene, Josh’s music has been
described as Melodic Techno / Progressive House with a raw and organic tribal
groove that contrasts sawing synth sounds and impactful bass stabs, often held
together with soft and haunting background vocals.
The ultimate intention of the work? “I want to take people on a real journey with my music. To tell a story with feeling... And I want to make people dance.”

'James Harcourt lands at Renaissance on an absolute tear. In just this year alone he’s seen a track hammered by Tale Of Us (Beholden); released on luminary imprints such as Sincopat, Selador and Parquet and been remixed by indie-titan, Musumeci! Reach a little further back in the discography and the plaudits continue... he’s clearly a producer in undeniable ascent.

Now he returns to Renaissance following a stellar debut on their Merin VA series with their first, full EP together, which is a diverse, 4-track player that pinpoints James’ unique sound and meticulous production. Yet, his inspirations and influences may come as a shock, “At the time of writing the tracks I hadn’t set foot in a club for nearly 4 years – even if there’s the pandemic to factor!”, he explains, “I just couldn’t find much of the music I wanted from old-skool promo trawling, digital sites and record shops; I realised that if I wanted to create those moments I was looking for, the magic, dancefloor spark you only get at festivals, clubs and parties - that I should get on and make it myself.”

So, with a clear objective, the Quartz EP was born with the dancefloor firmly in mind. Whether the peak-time power of Trust Me With Your Heart, the melodic stylings of Sister and Spellbound, or the emotive breaks of title track Quartz, James paints a musical picture that’s full of power and beauty, “I was looking to fire up those moments in the witching hour when the music is enough to tip you from caving-in to raving the early hours away, eventually emerging to reality in the daylight hours!”, he enthuses.

The EP gets a further diversity-injection courtesy of Mr Morek, who brings a shimmer of indie class to Touch Me With Your Heart. “I wanted to approach writing this remix from outside the box,” he says, “I set myself the task to experiment a little, yet still deliver a track that can harmoniously cross genres and fit in a wide selection of DJ sets.”'

About a year on since his first incursion on Stil vor Talent with the acclaimed "Cosmic Silence" EP, Italian-born Berlin-based producer Cioz resurfaces on the label with "Be One Wachaka", the first single taken from his forthcoming debut album, "Supermassive Whole", scheduled for release in late December 2022. Championing a sound tailored for extensive floor communions and soul-balancing introspection altogether, Cioz graces us with a pristine slice of his broad-spectrum explorations, bending intuitively between deep-diving dubs, big-room polyphonies and proper euphoria-inducing rave artillery. 

The lead-single "Wachaka" finds Cioz teaming up with Cape Town's very own Ryan Murgatroyd for a round of all-embracing electronics geared towards pure sense-awakening, floor-sweeping let go. Injecting traditional deep house with a vibrant dose of Afro-influenced templates and spacious cosmic interplays, the track swells with a blazing fire at heart that keeps on sprawling infectiously with each and every bar, inch-perfectly engineered breaks and drops providing the epic drive that'll get your feet off the ground and soul fulfilled wholeheartedly. Starting off to the austere sound of church bells, "B1" swiftly veers off into stealth floor-busting mode with its muted sub-bass onslaughts and cascading bleeps coming out of their thick reverb-shrouded squelch to extend into a more pop-friendly, drum-driven environment. In its second movement, "B1" roars with louder than loud, batucada-inspired drum lines and a relentless, sizzling-hot grit that makes it comfortable across all terrains.

Premiere: GEMINIS - Angel [Mobilee Records]

We’re finishing off 2022 with a collaboration EP from two well-known producers who have reached lofty heights in their careers as individuals, and now come together for two brilliantly crafted tracks for their EP, “Watching You”.

Berlin’s Phonique really needs no introduction, as the award-winning producer and label owner reigns as one of Europe’s most in-demand and renowned DJs. Four albums, over 100 releases and remixes and performing in every corner of the globe, we’re ecstatic to welcome him to Do Not Sit.

While Bakka hails from south of the equator in Brazil, he’s still on the global dance scene with chart topping tracks and support from the likes of Joris Voorn, Hernan Cattaneo, Solomun, among others.

We couldn’t think of a better way to end the year.
