PREMIERE: Blind Motive – Static Colours (Original Mix) [SoundDesign] Blind Motive's usual melodic style has taken a backseat with their latest release, courtesy of the legendary Todd Terry and his Sound Design imprint, this is the 'Venom EP'.

PREMIERE: Javier Orduña – Theo Is The Parra (ACUMEN’s Oecam Edition) [Chapter 24] The next Chapter centres on label artist Javier Orduña (Moda Black, Culprit) who steps forward with a very personal work for the Erretica EP. The Spanish producer wears his heart on his sleeve, combining technical skill with an emotion and openness that he brings to bear on both originals on the package. 'Erretica' balances a dancefloor groove with tenser, contemplative synth lines while 'Theo Is The Parra' is a compelling, dark and atmospheric deep house cut which combines the soul of Detroit with jazz influences. Editions for the EP come from JEUDI label mates Bambook & Quina, and tech heavyweights Marc DePulse (Noir Music, Einmusika) and ACUMEN (Get Physical, Leena). Each offer a different shade of musical colour, ensuring the 23rd Chapter offers a full and rounded set of tracks.

PREMIERE: Ten Ven – Gandia (Original Mix) [Sincopat] SINCOPAT is a label set up in 2010 by Spanish producer AFFKT and his friend Alberto Sola. Known for its melodic sound, the label has an open minded approach to House and Techno music.

PREMIERE: Paul Hazendonk – Profound Shift Of Conceptual Awareness (Hernan Cattaneo & Martin Garcia Remix) [Manual Music] For a label to reach that revered 200th release landmark in an electronic music business that is so volatile and unpredictable should be greeted with the utmost respect it quite rightly deserves.

PREMIERE: Marc DePulse – Underneath Your Bed (Original Mix) [Click Records] We are proud to present you our next release. For this release we have German Marc DePulse making his debut on our label with an outstanding EP. “I don't specify my music. I simply produce and play what I love.” And that's what Marcel Sterling alias Marc DePulse wants to tell us with his releases and podcasts: there is no box into which you must fit in because you are free in your mind to do whatever you love. Being real, being authentic, being a full time music lover. That means: go to bed and wake up with only music in your head! Whoever shed some tears while listening to emotional music can relate to what Marc is trying to achieve. It has to be “music to remember” and make a big impact. And that could be a melody, a baseline, steady percussion or strong vocals. Marc has already connected a lot of that love with his music. In more than a decade represented by the strongest labels (150+ releases) and performing on the biggest international stages, Marc has established Read More
