Following June's "[QR]V.172.TAM.24", featuring tracks by Avision, DJ Deep and Deetron, Laurent Garnier's COD3 QR label is back with another vinyl-only release.  This varied 6-pack, coded "[QR]V.200.SPK.24" is comprised of exclusive tracks from members of the extended COD3 QR family: Skatman, Works Of Intent, Yann Lean, and Joaquim Plossu & Salem Focus, alongside Jules Wells' "Dreamer" (released digitally on the label in May) and Squal G's "Waiting 4U" (from April).

Skatman, the Berlin based, Tunisian born DJ, producer and label head of Cognitive Prophecy follows up his huge COD3 QR track "Tribute to a Dancefloor" with the deep, groovy and aptly titled "Transcending House".  He has already gained recognition for his approach to electronic music, bridging the gap between classic and contemporary with tracks on Innervisions and Correspondent, becoming one of the most intriguing and captivating artists.

Jules Wells who delivered the infectious "The Clap" on COD3 QR 016 is back with the retro House sound of "Dreamer".  Jules Wells is from Bordeaux, France.  Strongly influenced by the Motor City, Jules has released on the likes of Submerge, Twilight 76, KMS, Planet E, Brique Rouge and Logos (Macedonia).

Works Of Intent, a core member of the UK South Asian collective DAYTIMERS and Emotional Weaponry label owner, has recently released an acclaimed guest mix for the legendary John Digweed's Transitions radio show.  Known for his ability to blend emotive storytelling with rhythmic precision, he follows up his "Richer Sound" album (released last year on the label) with the intricate and uncompromising "Subversive".

Producer and manager of the Slates Records label, Squal G is a French artist who has been passionate about electronic music since the early '90s.  Initially, he practised his art as a DJ before turning to machines and computers as he progressed with production.  Never sticking to a single style, instead, allowing inspiration to lead him, he nevertheless remains in the Techno spirit, as heard on "Waiting 4U".

A multi-faceted composer and DJ, Yann Lean also works as a sound engineer for himself and other artists.  Whether working as a duo with Madben and their side project Trunkline or as a solo artist, he has won the trust and support of prestigious labels such as KMS, Bedrock, Planet Rhythm, Skryptom and Materia, as well as COD3 QR who released "Hope" in 2020.  Now he's back with tribal drums on "To Get Close".

French born, Mexican resident Joaquim Plossu has been making music as a producer, multi-instrumentalist and sound designer for the past 20 years with releases on COD3 QR, 31 Recordings, Fokuz, Repertoire, Deep Heads, Planet Rhythm and more.  Both music composer and producer for TV and films, as well as Drum & Bass producer in his spare time, he teams up again with Leeds (UK) based Salem Focus (Fokuz Records / Soulvent / Galacy) for some energetic D&B on closing track "Cosmic".

COD3 QR: Music diversity is our strength!

As one of the key figureheads in Istanbul electronic music culture Alican has been a driving force behind the growth of the city’s scene. Compelled to share his deep passion for electronic music over the past two decades, his unwavering spirit and dedication to nurturing a healthy club culture has led to the formation of a mini empire that includes a successful record label and affiliated events wing; Isolate. As a selector and producer, he has established himself as a highly skilled, intuitive artist who blends emotionally charged atmospheres with deeply hypnotic rhythms and consistently positive energy. A forefather of Turkey’s fertile contemporary electronic music culture, Alican holds a lofty position in his home nation, while maintaining a humble outlook. Almost 20 years since he first became immersed in the scene, he continues to work tirelessly to support the music he loves.

Alican’s story is equal parts hard work and passion, with a sprinkling of fate. In his late teens he became immersed in Istanbul’s club scene, learning to produce on his own and by the mid-2000s he was achieving international success with a series of well received releases, hitting the road, playing across the country and picking up bookings beyond the country’s borders too. In fact, he even played Love Parade that took place in Dortmund in 2008.

A few years later, his good friend Murat Uncuoglu came to him with an offer to take over the running of a club called Indigo. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect, and the two men channelled their creative energy into reinvigorating the club, programming all of the nights, DJing, picking up the guests and transforming the venue into one of Istanbul’s most popular club spaces. Parallel to his work at Indigo, Alican became a prolific producer, embarking on a deeper exploration of his musicality. He released with a variety of respected labels; Innervisions, Kompakt, Gigolo, Get Physical, Multinotes and picked up an array of high-profile bookings at influential clubs and festivals across Europe. The exhaustive list of the cities where he’s performed includes Amsterdam, Moscow, Ibiza, Madrid, Milan and many more.

Not only did Alican carve out a sterling reputation as one of the masterminds behind Indigo, showcasing his curatorial, DJ and production skills on a weekly basis, but the space also became an incubator for Istanbul’s next generation of producers and promoters. Around 2016, Alican invested his spare time into launching an event series with his friends called Isolate. Initially taking place at Indigo, before moving to other locations, the party gave him the opportunity to showcase artists that represented his ethos. As all good things do, Indigo began to peter out, but the end of the club marked the beginning of a new era and Isolate blossomed, gaining traction as an events outfit before evolving into a record label in 2018.

Modest, grounded and deeply committed to electronic music, Alican is one of the most influential figures in the Turkish electronic music scene, though he would never say that himself. An artist who is constantly seeking out pastures new, renewing himself and driven by unassuming goals, Alican never lets his ego outgrow the music. It’s this authenticity - pure, untainted - that has propelled him to his influential status and earned him universal respect. Still driven by the same genuine energy that spurred him on to experiment with electronic sounds as a teen, Alican continues to stay true to his scene, and himself, with heartfelt commitment...
