Visionquest is back with the second part in their VQ X series that celebrates 10 + years of the infamous dance label. 

The record kicks off in sublime fashion with one of the most important underground producers of the last 20 years...Mathew Jonson.  "These Tears" delivers a driving 808 with arpeggiated synths weaving through mystic key tones and perfectly crafted percussion that he so well respected for all these years. It's as if you're flying through space at hyperspeed while also in your calmest state.  An absolute transition gem to take you higher or bring you down with ease.

Cesar Merveille continues to keep the bar high with "Decennium". The music somehow perfectly straddles the line between the future and the past with beats that hint at that 90's digital vibe, while also keeping the ultra modern modular analog sound.  Pro tip: Also check his CSR moniker on his own Roche Madame imprint for more!

On the flip, the B side starts with Gianluca Pegoiani's "Wonder Wheel", a big bumpin' jam with sub tones that slowly rise and fall in pitch. Aleatoric punctuations bounce around with a bell synth pattern and a syncopated repeating key tone that keeps the track moving expertly forward.

Rounding out the EP is Dirty Pathways from VINYL SPEED ADJUST. A dope, low slung groove, it pops with elements of live drums and a driving bass ties it together. Slowly synths and pads build under the surface to reveal a very cool mood to finish the EP.

This record will no doubt be a standout moment for the already immense and highly creative catalog of Visionquest and a solid addition to the VQ X series.

Romanian DJ and producer Mahony drops the first release on his newborn Take Notes label, marking the beginning of an era full of energy and attitude on the dancefloor.

Opening cut 'U Ready?' delivers the goods: fresh & gritty low end, hand raiser vibes and a massive heads-down drop. Next up, 'Pasi De Dans' is a flashback to Mahony's hometown, Bucharest, showcasing tight percussion and swift evolving leads gliding above subtle waves from the underground. Rounding out the package, Tamango master Yaya's take on 'Pasi De Dans' is a bumpy, energetic dancefloor tool for the skilled selector with spicy vocals, powerful funky basslines, and perky hip-swinging drums.

The music has spoken; it is now time to take notes.

PREMIERE: Floog - Love Poem (Priku Remix) [AtipicLab]

Paco Osuna welcomes Romanian artist Mahony to his label Mindshake, and along with his two deep and techy original tracks, the EP also features remixes by Fer BR and Paco Osuna.

Mahony is a talented producer who's known for having a stripped back style of house music with bassline grooves and flowing percussion. His music has previously been featured on other labels ranging from Moan to his own Take Notes and his tracks have been supported by the likes of The Martinez Brothers, who featured Mahony as part of their fabric compilation mix.

Also, a skilled DJ, Mahony is known for his residency at Bucharest's iconic Kristal Club and sets at festivals such as Sunwaves, along with regular international bookings at places like Space in Miami and DC10 in Ibiza.

Fer BR is an artist with close ties to Mindshake and his deep techno remix is inline with his music on labels such as Adam Beyer's Truesoul, but he's an eclectic artist who's also featured on other imprints ranging from Claude VonStroke's Dirtybird to Pig&Dan's Elevate.

Closing out the EP is a rework from Mindshake label owner Paco Osuna who is an iconic Spanish DJ known globally for his legendary DJ sets. He is also a highly revered producer who has provided tracks and remixes to labels such as Circus Recordings, Moon Harbour, Minus, Bedrock and many others.

BRYZ - Deal Si Vai [WELTER017]

The fifth release of VBX, "I Change, Just Like You" will soon arrive directly from Ferro, one of the main exponent of the Amsterdam-based collective.

The Dutch producer is recently on fire: apart from delivering "Limbic Resonance" VBX004 circa 8 month ago, produced together with Reiss as Spokenn, there were severals and insisting rumors around him to be the Unknown Artist behind a heavily-endorsed tune played this year.

Overall, his stamp on VBX record label is significant: the first two-ever issues, which played a major role in kick-starting the imprint ("Time Will Tell" and "Meeting In Another World") are from Jasper himself, confirming his creativity in studio and setting the last couple of year as the most prolific to date.

His growth as a DJ and producer goes at the same fast-peace VBX is going, with both breaking milestones one after the other in short period of times. His duo-project with his friend Reiss, which we featured not long time ago, is booming, with both set to appear in Ibiza for Carl Cox project One Night Stand at Amnesia and DC-10, respectively on 02 July 2018 and 10 August 2018.

VBX005 is a two-tracker EP. The name Endresonic - the A side of this two tracker - subtly references the Norwegian vocalist, who's haunting voice lends the percussion heavy and uplifting track a visceral quality. It's the type of track that you will be humming the day after you heard it being played out by your favourite DJ, wondering what it could be.

Dark Revelations on the flip feels almost like the Mr Hyde to Endresonic's Dr Jekyll. Countless heady modulating soundscapes, gurgling bleeps and blobs, subtle percussive elements and an eerie voice - with Ferro's signature groove as the backbone holding it all together - ensure a trippy, almost cerebral, listening experience. 'I Change, Just Like You' provides the listener with an aural glimpse into the multidimensional universe of sounds that Ferro calls home.

Premiere: D2 - Ion Ludwig - Think Music [ADAMLP001]

vi•sion quest (noun): a search for personal communication with the spirit world. 

Every mystical journey eventually comes to a fork in the road. The seeker of life’s destiny has two options: remain satisfied with whatever level of consciousness he has already attained, or push forward into ever-new domains of promise and possibility. 2014 sees dance music’s best-known spiritual pilgrims, the Visionquest trio of Ryan Crosson, Lee Curtiss, and Shaun Reeves, bravely embarking upon that wondrous journey. Each member of this celebrated DJing and production team contributes a distinct yet interlocking vision that together forms a seamless, organic whole. Just think of Crosson’s enthusiastic shuffle, Lee’s soulful stare, Shaun’s soft touch. Everything they craft has the same unmistakable flair: slow-burning, shape-shifting, expansive techno and house marked by compositional elegance and unabashed pop hooks.

Although long-time partner and co-conspirator Seth Troxler has stepped aside to pursue other projects, 2013 was the biggest year ever for the four. Inspired by the passing of the Mayan calendar, the group embarked upon Visionquest 13, 13 dates where the boys not only played together the whole night, but curated a true multimedia experience. From London to Buenos Aires, from the American hinterland to the Chilean wilderness, Visionquest 13 was a Freudian trip into the deepest recesses of the Detroit rave unconscious, what Ibiza Voice described as a “collective expedition into the depths of your soul”—but with a sophisticated, modern twist.

Their accomplishments are well-known and too many to list. For starters: a critically acclaimed 2011 Fabric mix; year-defining hit remixes for artists as diverse as Kiki, Wareika, Tracey Thorn, and David Lynch; showcases and dates in the biggest clubs and festivals around the world; and the creation of a now iconic-label that’s played host to dancefloor weaponry from the likes of Benoit & Sergio, Life & Death, Dinky, and Laura Jones—all this while each member maintained significant individual production and DJ careers. But, by definition, no journey dwells in the past. So in 2014 they launched Visionquest Special Editions, a limited-release, vinyl only label. Evoking the experimental sounds of the European techno avant-garde that first inspired the boys back in Detroit, the debut release, remixes of Montreal songwriter Quilla, features a stunning collaboration between Shaun and long-time hero Ricardo Villalobos. With Visionquest Special Editions we see the group at home at a breezy, gentle afterparty, not just igniting the club. As Visionquest winds around the corner into their bright future, they remain open and excited for what lies ahead.
