Following on from the special release of Robert Hood and Femi Kuti's live jazz set "Variations", Robert Hood delivers his latest Techno EP for M-Plant.  This is the first new solo music from him since 2022's "Hectic / Amazon Dust" double-header.  

Although Robert Hood should need little introduction, with his and his daughter, Lyric's Floorplan moniker riding high with a new album forthcoming on Classic, his Techno legacy should not be forgotten.  Throughout the '90s, he helped pave the way for Techno to flourish — giving birth to minimal techno with his seminal album "Minimal Nation".  Since then, he has been consistently forwarding electronic music culture with ground-breaking productions, sensational performances and his M-Plant label.  His style is characterised by minimalist and experimental tones with an assertive groove.  

His "Alpha Key EP" features four driving cuts of characteristically Hood music that prove when it comes to Techno, he's still a high-ranking master.  The EP is out on vinyl and digitally 12 April.

Magnetic talent Adiel, her native Rome’s Goa Club resident DJ on their famed Ultrabeat vinyl nights and global exponent of techno’s wilder shores, now joins [PIAS] Électronique to share original tracks which spiked her 2024 DJ sets. 
First of the series (January 24th) is ‘Bolingo Malenbè’, her collab single with Guinean singer/percussionist Falle Nioke mingling his afrobeats and vocal with her breaks, tribal and dub-influenced techno.
‘Bolingo Malenbè’ dazzles the ear with Nioke’s rich, resonant vocal showcased by her signature ‘techno with emotion’ which combines strong breaksy beats - encompassing vibes of Falle’s traditional West African percussion - alongside hard, juddering, reverb-heavy techno bass lines and spacey sound FX, with gentler melodic interludes of guitar- and piano-like phrases and chords. 
Warm, organic, tribal, yet dark and gritty techno ready to ignite dancefloors far and wide.

Adiel & Falle Nioke - Bolingo Malenbè  [PIAS] Électronique

Artist: Various Artists
Title: [QR]V.052.GMF.25
Label: @COD3QR
Cat No: QRV052GMF25
Format: Vinyl
Released: 21 February 2025

Track Listing:
A1. Laurent Garnier – "Back Where I Belong (Solaris Mix)"
A2. Tal Fussman – "Waiting"
B1. Loloman – "The Wall (Laurent Garnier ReWork)"
B2. The Lost Souldancer – "No More Voices"

COD3 QR cries "Give Me Four!" for their first vinyl-only release of 2025.

Label helmsman, Laurent Garnier delivers the first cut, setting the standard for "[QR]V.052.GMF.25".  "Back Where I Belong (Solaris Mix)" is a monumental builder.  Laurent once again brings his musical storytelling with layers upon layers of sound and melody alongside infectious beats.

Berlin resident and Survival Tactics label head, Tal Fussman is known for creating music that works in many settings and transcends genres.  Fast becoming a COD3 QR regular having previously provided the deep "10247" for COD3 QR 016 and epic "If I Can" for "[QR]D.158.DWM.24".  This time he returns with the upbeat "Waiting" and a heavy nod to retro soulful House.  

Leading French producer Loloman creates music inspired by his extensive experience on the dancefloor alongside the roots of Detroit techno and Chicago house.  On November's "[QR]D.320.MFS.24" he gave us "The Wall" which has now been masterfully reworked by Garnier.

Benny Rodrigues a.k.a. ROD unveils his new moniker, The Lost Souldancer.  In his own words, Benny says: "The Lost Souldancer is about coping with the loss of what once was.  Finding comfort in the invisible rather than what can be seen.  Disconnect to connect in order to be loved rather than liked."  "No More Voices" brings that feeling alive as a perfect closer to this soul-stirring EP.
