Melodic/Deep set list

15 Yrs Systematic is the third part in the five year Systematic series, where Marc Romboy’s esteemed imprint, Systematic Recordings, celebrates each five year milestone with a compilation of exclusive tracks. This edition features special releases from John Digweed, Fideles, ARTBAT and label frontman Marc Romboy.

Such a milestone deserves and demands a suitably special celebration of everything the label has achieved. Having first planted its roots in the summer of 2004, the imprint has nurtured a collective of producers whose musical ethos goes hand in hand with Marc’s sonical vision. The likes of Stephan Bodzin, Joris Voorn, Maetrik (Maceo Plex), KiNK and Laurent Garnier have all found a home on Systematic Recordings, forming a family of esteemed artists whose soundscape is at the heart of the label’s core values.

"Wow, 15 years with roundabout 200 releases of 50 artists are over and it feels like only three. I‘m more than glad that so many friends have contributed fantastic tracks for the 15 years compilation. It‘s worth giving all of them a careful listen!“ Marc Romboy

The compilation traverses the many forms of house and techno whilst similarly conveying the emotive feelings behind Marc Romboy’s desired soundscape. The opening track from Marc, Shooting stars never stop, begins proceedings as elegant synths and soft hats take us on an astral journey. Sascha Braemer, a fellow German, provides Matar, as spectral whirrs are complimented by driving kicks; whilst Diynamic Music affiliates Artbat produce Orbital, another starlike cut that features the perfect dose of acid pulses. 

Esteemed Italian duo Fideles’ Midnight Rembler gracefully rolls as the thud of the kick is complimented by a shimmering bassline, before John Digweed and Nick Muir’s Alkuon takes us on a tribal voyage with bongo-like percussion that leads into a compelling, ricocheting drop. Giorgia Angiulli’s Ocean Toys is an atmospheric and moving sequence, whilst Okeechobee, courtesy of Marc’s long-term collaborator Rodriguez Jr., drifts between dubby pads and thumping kicks. 

British export Jimpster delivers Pipe Dream, featuring a xylophone-like background melody alongside a groove-laden piano roll, whilst Free Range Recordings staple Pezzner produces Little Ghosts, a driving, no-nonsense acid number. A firm favourite of Spain’s electronic music scene, Henry Saiz’s Wormhole is another astral composition that features emotive meaningful synths; before Music Man Records boss Petar Dundov serves up Dream of You, which cooes with an introspective poignancy. 

Polar Vortex builds pace as unrelenting kicks merge with flickering hats, courtesy of Venezuelan duo Fur Coat; before leading into Robert Babicz’s Coast to Coast, darting between melancholic synth stabs and resonant percussion. 

South American duo, Animal Print, produce Neon Avenue as a weighted beginning gives way to ethereal bell chimes, before Rodriguez Jr. and Marc Romboy’s collaboration L’ Aspiration rounds off the album with awe-inspiring piano rolls and touching, echo-filled chords. 

In a career that has spanned more than two decades, Marc Romboy is a mouthpiece for the facets of electronic music that can not be categorised. His collaboration with the Dortmund Philharmonic Orchestra for a London Boiler Room performance showcased the true talent of the German producer, and demonstrated that electronic music and classical composition are intrinsically linked. From producing six albums to running one of electronic music’s most successful labels, the release of 15 Yrs Systematic marks a career highlight that will be remembered and respected for years to come.

Exclusive Fiberroot 'Roccodrilo (Shall Ocin Remix)'

Clash Lion Records, run by Terr, Shall Ocin and Daniel Watts, is ready to release Fiberroot's EP 'Tierra'. The three tracker comes with two originals, 'Con Licencia Sibonei' and 'Roccodrillo', and Shall Ocin's majestic remix of the latter. The Argentinian DJ and producer, who has released on labels such as Bpitch Control, Ellum or Last Night On Earth, delivers a stomping techno take, which is built around twirling synth sounds with the potential of creating mental dance floor experiences. As Shall Ocin's take on 'Roccodrillo' proceeds the artist shifts his focus on sounds and exchanges the twirling synth with more calm synth chords giving the listener and dancer the opportunity to digest the aforementioned mental musical rollercoaster ride. 

Fiberroots's EP 'Tierra' will be released September 7th, 2018 on Clash Lion.

Prolific duo Pig & Dan land back on Cocoon Recordings, which is familiar territory having had their debut single released on Sven Väth's imprint in 2001.

There was a mysterious shape which blossomed amongst the stars, a radiant glow which flashed and flickered with wavering abstract light. It was a thing of beauty and a great wonder. From time to time they would walk amidst the deep snow, the ground wet and fluffy beneath their old dirty boots, they'd walk out amidst the trees and stare outwards into the black abyss which lay beyond the line of sight. They'd watch and wait for the Borealis and it would illuminate their life and all things in it. It was the one. 

Olaf Blanch is set to release a sun kissed, balearic ep on Modern Obscure Music. The release features a collection of dreamy yet danceable tracks alongside a remix from Suzanne Kraft. It's a perfect summer package from the Spanish label run by Pedro Vian.

Swedish DJ Adeline lands on Crosstown Rebels with You*re Sick, a diverse four track release that features a stunning remix from Rex Club regular D’Julz.

The EP opens with the title track You*re Sick. Pronounced kicks merge with subtle pads, as an enchanting vocal sample whispers along. Bubble-like pops are brought in alongside intermittent hi-hats, creating a real dance-floor ready record. The D’Julz dub comes next. Staying true to the original, the addition of an electro-like breakdown builds energy, before that addictively-good kick is brought back in. Dust To Bone is a fast-paced minimal thumper, that takes no prisoners as it moves along with a wholesome bassline and softly driving percussion, before Rite De Passage rounds off the EP with powerful pads and warm keys.

Brought up in the rolling Swedish countryside, Adeline is a DJ, producer and vocalist whose talents reach far further than the DJ booth. Having founded electronic music duo Housewives with La Fleur in 2006, Adeline has gone on to release standout productions on the likes of Culprit and Kindisch Records. D’Julz is an artist whose presence in the scene has been felt for decades. For twenty two years, the French native has been running the now legendary “Bass Culture” night at Rex Club, and has hosted some of the scenes most respected DJs in recent times, including Seth Troxler, Sonja Moonear and Nicolas Lutz.
