Voxnox Records mainstay and A&R Sept returns home for VN034.

A1) Sept opens up the EP with the forceful „Challenge'. Showcasing Sept's trademark saturated, analog sound, „Challenge' combines rolling percussion with eerie soundscaping and a haunting vocal. A true peak time weapon, this track is sure to set all systems alight. 

A2) On „Challenge' remix duties is longtime collaborator and friend, Violent. Drawing on the atmosphere of the original, Violent delivers a hard hitting, stomping techno banger that will find a lot of favour with those at the harder end of the spectrum.

B1) Opening up the B-side is a further Sept original, „Six Doors'. Employing his excellent use of soundscaping, „Six Doors' is a measured stepper with undeniable UK influences. One for the deeper hours of the night. 

B2) Closing off the originals on the EP is „Astral Spirits'. Aptly named, this ambient piece clearly displays Sept's excellent production skills. Dark, eerie soundscapes and twitchy percussion make this an intoxicating and disturbing piece.

B3) For the final track on the EP, Voxnox Records is delighted to welcome Headless Horseman. Known for his exceptional and unique production style, the Horseman is surely one of techno's greatest talents. Headless Horseman delivers a tough, remix that builds perfectly on the atmosphere of the original whilst showcasing his trademark galloping groove. Not to be missed.

I thank God for music. I love music. and music loves me me me 

-Kerri Chandler

A native-born Texan, John Michael Pekowski, PhD (b. 1975) began composing music at age 11. Simple improvisations on the family upright piano were followed by electronic compositions in BASIC code on the TI-99 computer.

In Junior High (1988) he was elected President of the Science Club, served as Social Chairman of the band, was awarded the John Philip Sousa Award, and was a featured soloist on trumpet. In High School (1994) John was section leader, co-principal trumpet of LYSO, Jazz One soloist (TTU Band Camp), and TMEA All-State Concert Band participant.

He was a member of the Texas Tech University Jazz One, Symphonic Band (1994-2002), recorded with the fee-improvisation ensemble YATE, his dissertation greatly advanced our understanding of the hierarchical organization of pitch-interval cycles within a voice-leading context, and was in contention for the Graduate Achievement Award.

The world premiere of his composition Jest of Moonlit Point for Pierrot Quintet, took place in 2024 and was performed by the Texas New Music Ensemble conducted by Bill Tacket. In 2021 Forest of the Birdsong for soprano sax (David Dees) and piano (Nataliya Sukhina) was premiered at Crickets Theater / Buddy Holly Hall.

Dr. Pekowski continues to compose classical instrumental. Recent works include String Quartet Suites No. 1-9 (2019-2022), Jest of Moonlit Point for Pierrot Quintet (2024), Brookhollow Bayou for Solo Flute (2024), and Suite for Orchestra No1-No2 (2023-2025).
