Keith Carnal returns to his Second Degree label with an impressive four track EP, encompassing a hypnotic & atmospheric sound, but at a higher tempo.

Keith Carnal has been pushing out high octane techno records for the last decade, featuring on labels such as Arts & Bpitch, Keith has assembled an impressive discography. The Amsterdam producer has found himself remixing for industry titan’s such as Ellen Alien, CJ Bolland & more.

Carnal also helms his Second Degree imprint, launched in late 2018 and home to his own solo material. Following on from the labels impressive fifth instalment earlier this year, he returns to round out the year on home turf as he drops four new productions combining slick grooves and infectious vocals with his signature tough yet vibrant sonics.

We premiere the A1, ‘Chauvanistic Pigs’, a hypnotic symphony, the entrancing cut is busting with pacy drums and icy hats as they guide tripped out vocals and warping synths.

This track should be in every techno DJs arsenal, a perfect hypnotic, vocal, tool for the dance floor.

After 4 years Åre:gone has returned to anaoh with 'Above Us' a wonderful work that shows the musical growth that it has had and which we have witnessed.

The maturity of the native of Havana, Cuba is clear in the sound he has achieved and which is perfect for the moment in which the world scene finds itself, without neglecting that classic touch that we love and that we continually seek in the releases we publish. . , timeless, quality techno.

Powerful kicks, full of groove bases, sharp percussions, classic chords, and vocals perfectly accompany and accentuate each of the tracks. Tribal and Latin moments that we look forward to will returned.

Without a doubt, we are facing the best stage of Cubano, Åre:gone and it's time to enjoy it!

GTG Premiere | ANNĒ - Coral Reefs [EMERALD025]

This is a mix set I recorded at home on my Pioneer XDJ-XZ stand-alone controller upon request from a podcast organization in France: Collation Electronique". I surely will add the ID's at some point one of them being from an absolute favorite the artist Henning Bear or the Dutch DRSSN a young woman active now for a good couple of years as a brilliant spiritual producer and Techno dj. 

The mix is a composition of Electro tracks and various Techno ones reflecting the political and cultural climate at that time : end 2022. Our scene had recently entirely re-opened and was very vulnerable and still unclear to the direction it would take. Also vastly dominated by social media influencer digital dj's that tipped the scale and resulted in the current struggle it now founds itself : large gap between the artists, dominance of certain trends, work ethics and work invested not being recognized and rewarded.

My preference will always go to the 'underdog" cheering for the one who put the work, respect the sound and the scene and does not fake with marketing tactics.
