egbert has been dazzling us with the speed at which he seems to have skyrocketed to being one of the worlds top players in the techno scene. within a short period of time he has managed to create a rapidly growing fan base who have all been avidly waiting for him to release an album for some time now.

sql has been touring the globe and releasing steadily for a few years now. after a lot of great releases and remixes, some of which topped the charts, we believe that this is his best ep so far! if you like warm techno and tech house that combines melody with powerful grooves, this one is for you.

for the past years egbert has been remixing, touring and working on his album *warm* (due for release in october 2013). after residing at the top of the techno charts for months with his remix of *watch me now* by d-nox & beckers, egbert is finally back with his own ep! this is a very highly anticipated release and egbert doesnt disappoint! all three tracks are serious crowd pleasers but in their own way. from in your face big room techno through melodic anthemic tech house to water-melon-ball minimal, this ep has it all!

after a two year stop we decided there could be no better ep for gem records to return to pressing vinyl than this analogue tape recorded kaap de goede hoop jam. when we were putting together 363a everything just fell in to place kaap de goede hoops bobby van putten says.

following up after the mental drop by detroits master of repetition, population one, we have a new signing hailing from the land of the rising sun, helping us to set the standards for this new imprint— uncompromised techno funk! japanese producer imugem orihasam has spent the past 3 years slowly evolving. his early work on ilian tape and esperanza sounds like that of an already seasoned craftsman digesting detroit bit by bit, with a focus on lush textures and swooning eerie melodies. this past year has seen a spike in activity for imugem, with releases on patrice scotts sistrum recordings, berlins nsyde, and adam marshalls new kanada—all showcasing a more focused and exuberant approach that has sharpened his reflective compositions. with gem, imugem steps away from the supple melodies and tranquil atmospheres for a trip deep into the power plant.

gem010 features ramon tapias own production pelican and opal in collaboration with secret cinema. the ep is completed by belgian golden boy steve slight. a tasty 3 tracker!

created back in 1994 by secret cinema, no one could have predicted how timeless this track would turn out to be! if you are in to electronic music and live on this planet, theres a 75 percent chance youll recognise the weird reversed, reverbed piano riff! now, for the first time, the original is available digitally with remixes by slam, egbert and secret cinema himself that made their way to vinyl as well. the massive techno tune from 94 is ready for a little update! it can be a challenge to remix a track with so much history, but all three managed to complement the original while giving a unique spin to the track. the secret cinema 2011 remix is a peak time main room power tool that will turn a big crowd into a riot any day. slam take a deeper, more subtle approach that can hypnotize and rock a main room crowd without blowing their wigs off. finally egbert takes the track to a warmer funkier level, equipped with a funk-filled bass line and some warm pads over the top. a truly timeless package!!

egbert provides an energetic yet deep and hypnotic techno track while roger martinez delivers a giorgio moroderesque italo influenced tech houser. on the flip, its kaap de goede hoop who bring some warm deep housey flavours to the mix and arjuna schiks who finishes it off with a big funky percussive groover.

gem sampler 2.1 and 2.2 come just in time for a gem records >amsterdam dance event showcase< at the westerunie on saturday october 24th including a big poster and advert campaign for the sampler! artists featured on gem sampler 2.1 (gem006) are secret cinema and tom laws who both dropped a big fat techno bomb and peter horrevorts who supplies us with a huge peak time loop-disco techey stomper. nice… on gem sampler 2.2 (gem007) egbert provides an energetic yet deep and hypnotic techno track while roger martinez delivers a giorgio moroderesque italo influenced tech houser. on the flip, its kaap de goede hoop who bring some warm deep housey flavours to the mix and arjuna schiks who finishes it off with a big funky percussive groover.

ooooooh yeeeaaah!!! haasten is here! one of technos fastest rising stars brings his strongest ep to date with two huge tracks you will be hearing lot of this summer! egbert returns to gem… >haasten< (translates into hurrying) has been destroying crowds during egberts live sets around the globe for the past few months. a dark commanding bass line that skips over the beat is accompanied by a retro sounding orchestral jab to create what is looking to become one of this years biggest techno tracks! the b-side >yourself< has also proven to be a crowd pleaser and is paving the way for the future of percussion based techno. the punishing drums, deep basses, narrow mids and rattling hats kick ass throughout the track before taking a break for 30 seconds to introduce some melody and continue on mercilessly afterwards. a mean f*cking package!

after two quality eps by egbert and peter horrevorts and a dj compilation by secret cinema, the label front man presents his first ep on gem: glad chord!

the title track (bloody hands) has a unique futuristic sparkle with plenty of funk and loads of interesting effects, characteristic of horrevorts productions. the lead and bassline build up tension throughout the track, subtly climaxing after 5 minutes with some guaranteed hands in the air action!
on the b-side we find >nymph<. this funky deep techey track slots perfectly into those hypnotizing moments of the night. quality production! the b2 is remixed by marc marzenit who captured the subtlety of >bloody hands< perfectly with his monster remix. this monster has a slightly deeper, more progressive flavor than the original yet maintaining its energy. rumor has it that the remix has been signed to secret cinemas first mixed compilation >welcome to my club< (march 2010). one impressive release from two of todays most promising producers!

gem001 is egberts -dezelfde weg ep-. secret cinema has been dropping it regularly and the crowd response has been amazing! side a is a hypnotic melody driven techno slammer titled >dezelfde weg<. on the flipside is a deeper darker track called >vette sounds< with creepy yet commanding synths over a pounding bassline driven groove. this track has also received the secret cinema remix treatment to brilliant effect!

per grindvik with two tracks, and also hardcell with two fresh tunes !!

gem club is an exclusive society: two people, a piano, and a cello. vocalist christopher barnes sings in a quivering whisper, and these minimal accompaniments assure that their sound never becomes louder than a hush. but the massachusetts duo s debut ep, acid and everything, showed just how much emotional intensity you could pack into compositions so spare, and how much could be suggested with so little. everything on breakers, their first full-length, sounds frozen over: icy, quiet, austere. you know that eerie feeling when you find yourself alone in a huge public place that s usually crowded-- maybe a shopping mall or a playing field- but at that moment is totally empty? this record sounds like a sustained version of that feeling. -i heard the party- juxtaposes echoing piano chords and a general sense of unease (-no one could have told you / your body would fail you-) with the refrain -i heard the partys here- floating across the track like the sound of dried up laughter. the word -party- feels so out of place in a song so pensive and lonely that there s something jarring about the experience. the feeling crops up repeatedly on breakers: a sense of slow-motion detachment, a suggestion that there were signs of life here once, but you ve arrived a couple of hours- or maybe a couple of weeks- too late.

jeroen secret cinema verheij launched gem records in december of 2009. the label represents the versatile array of sounds that verheij himself plays in his dj sets. the first two releases came from dutch super talents and secret cinema protŽgŽs egbert and peter horrevorts. welcome to my club mixed by secret cinema explores the realms of verheijs club sound and his flavors for the coming season. the package includes the latest release on gem secret cinema glad chord (gem003) and an exclusive preview of two tracks from the forthcoming ep haasten by egbert (gem004). the cd kicks off with vintage synth chords from jamie lloyd but soon twists in another direction with the sexy g-funk electro beats of big bully. after that, the cd picks up pace and reveals the energy that drives secret cinemas sets. with 20 tracks on the cd, this is one of the most action packed compilations out at the moment and takes the listener on an audible trip beyond stylistic barriers in electronic music.

jimpster serves up the first single entitled crave from ahead of his forthcoming silent stars lp complete with remixes from atjazz and flabaire.in its original form crave, which features the vocals from hotly-tipped londoner florence rawlings, is an emotionally charged electronic torch song guaranteed to get inside your head from the very first listen. the spacey chords and punctuating string stabs bring hints of the 80’s to mind whilst florence’s gentle vocal floats in the air like a fresh sea breeze. in addition to the mesmerizing original we present two brilliant and contrasting remixes from one of the uk’s legendary producers atjazz as well as paris‘ rising star flabaire whose d.ko records has been dropping gem after gem since 2013. atjazz spins crave into outerspace with a fat, driving groove and twisted sonics making for an incredibly deep and forward-looking slice of aural gold. in contrast, flabaire looks back to the early 00’s for his classic soulful house rework which calls to mind the sounds of spinna and vintage naked music. closing the release we have another original track entitled where you are featuring berlin based us native khalil anthony. here we find jimpster doing what he does best, creating a sublime late night club track with his deft musical touch making this one that will stand out in the crowd

we are thrilled to announce the release of quater which marksthe 25th release on twidl records. this limited edition picturedisk is a rare gem for any collector and comes in a sleeve that was handcrafted and numbered by the twidl team.

there are some records that manage to sound both of a time and utterly timeless and bon voyage organisation s jungle? quelle jungle? (a nod to supertramp s crisis? what crisis?) is one of those albums. its silken-smooth production, irresistible grooves, funk-tinged guitars, lush soundscapes and general glowing presence could easily lead one to believe that have dug up a lost disco gem from the 1970s. however, behind the disco-pop gleam lies eerie dystopian sci-fi ruminations of a futuristic bent and tones that can often feel as french as they do asian or african. this sort of cross-continental exploration is an expansion on bvo s previous two eps, the man behind the organisation, adrien durand, says. -i tried to continue the musical expedition between dystopian science-fiction haunted africa - plus haitian vaudou on -soleil dieu- - and futuristic asia. addressing, in a double entendre manner, some of the political issues that i am sensitive to.- in fact the jungle in question in the album s title is a metaphorical one and one that creates a vast series of environments for durand to explore such subjects as world trade, utopian ideals and themes of idols, as well as of time and communication. however, one will need to speak french to decipher such explorations, as well as shake off the natural impulse to move with every glorious beat on its 13 tracks, of which are moved along by maud nadal and agathe bonitzer s golden vocals.

a real soul gem from 1970 on the james brown affiliated deluxe label, the first and only album by this mysterious singer: marie queenie lyons.
