following the successful reception of klodio s debut ep, the tokyo-based producer spent the year playing shows in japan with various upcoming artists like fulbert and label co-founder alixkun, and taking part in disruptive events such as pow wow school of music. when klodio decided it was time to start recording his second ep, he took a slightly different direction, going from techno-influenced detroit house to house-influenced detroit techno. -shinagawa sunrise- is a fast-paced retro-futuristic jazz jam which climaxes on a fantastic sax solo by the young and talented ilia skibinsky. daiba goes a step further in this techno journey, flowing from glowing, light, syncopated chords to a dark and aggressive atmosphere, and back again to the relaxing chords. more polished, singular, deep, and yet aggressive than -toktroit-, -rainbow bridge ep- brings another stone in the asia-infused universe that the french producer is bringing to the world of electronic music.

holger bundles have become a late summer tradition and sort of a showcase of where the label has been heading lately: bundle #3 features the three artist eps holger has released in the last 12 months.

with its eighth release, leipzig-based holger records introduces yet another new artist: vai has been active in the scene for a few years already, with various production teams and aliases. his new project is heading for a different path though: son of idaia is his most intimate work to date, a highly personal record. the elements in use are almost fragile, winding around each other and hard to grasp. so is the music: in between ambient, electronica and ghostly techno it seems removed from its club origins and yet still reverberating these roots. a deep trip down the rabbit hole, dubby, immersive and glowing in all its calm beauty. holger 8 introduces a new line of cover artworks, courtesy of lukas mehling.

with mgf022 we open the sound-universe with and for ilia ferrein from novosibirsk, russia. with meeting sea & hover, ferrein creates a perfect, clear, dreamy and reduced as well as an euphoric dubsound atmoshpere, with little moments full of magic melodies. the proper counterpart and highlight remix on the b-site is presented by doyen robag wruhme. there is no further introduction needed, we think...his remix of meeting sea includes his typically energetic, nearly hypnotic sound and it grooves as always keeping the focus on the original track at the same time.
