Anyone who follows my soundcloud knows how much I love Quest so when I found out I was playing I had to put together a set of ONLY music played at Quest 1992 to 1994! It was a warmup set so nothing too hectic but I wanted to play a set of tunes that represented Quest, with a nod to both jungle and hardcore. My set was only 45 mins so I extended it a bit today and played a few more...enjoy!

We are close to a possible wolrd warfare again we need to stay close and think in the vulnerable ones, that's why we have decided to start the process of taking down all of our Discography from Spotify due to their support in the Gaza Genocide. In this critical times, we present 2 tunes for our new Release in the hands of one of the producers who will be pressing the limit of what we can perceive as Techno-Drum and Bass, coming from an elderly era of the genre and placing himself in the vanguard with this 2 bombs, marking a new era within ExoPhono Recordings, raising in all directions to the farthest edges of the kown Universe and beyond... from Russia we present: Quellsy - Nasha Planeta and Graphite Cylinders.

Hemos vuelto, tras un año de quietud y silenciosa planeación, tras un año de guerra y hostilidad entre humanos. Estamos cerca de una posible guerra mundial; necesitamos estar cerca y pensar en los vulnerables, por eso hemos decidido retirar toda nuestra discografía de Spotify debido a su apoyo al Genocidio de Gaza, el proceso esta en marcha. En estos tiempos críticos, presentamos dos temas para nuestro nuevo lanzamiento, de la mano de uno de los productores que empujará al límite lo que podemos percibir como Techno-Drum and Bass, proveniente de una era antigua del género y colocándose a la vanguardia con estas dos ear-bombas, marcando una nueva era dentro de ExoPhono Recordings, elevándose en todas direcciones hasta los confines del universo conocido y más allá... desde Rusia presentamos: Quellsy - Nasha Planeta y Graphite Cylinders.
