jeroen search needs no introductions, he is one of the netherlandss leading techno producers who maintains his unique style within the studio, stripped back modern techno with a self assured addition of soul. ravages of time is a deep space exploration of analogue synthesis, taking us back to the future with four retro fuelled techno cuts.

decoy07 takes a deeper turn with the third act ep. miss sunshine (kms, monocline, tictactoe) has been working flawlessly in the studio for the past six years and this ep is no exception. third act is a heavy workout of riding bells and an old-school synth line which grooves its way through percussion builds and changes. intimidate is deeper and darker with a chugging groove and twisting effects growing into a more graceful melody. ground loop captures miss sunshines more ambivalent mood with a haunting groove that is perfect for those basement techno moments. markus suckut (figure, sckt)supplies the remix with his interpretation of ground loop, taking it more minimal and stripped back but maintaining the groove in his own familiar style.

chris page is one of the rising talents within the london techno scene. having djed since the early 00s, productions followed suit and slowly but surely, a solid back catalogue of tracks has been created.

decoy 01 showcases southampton artist chris colburn, a regular feature on alan fitzpatricks 8 sided dice imprint. a selection of 3 techno gems made entirely for the dance floor. acid whip is the lead track, big drums and a nerve cutting acid line create this frenzy of a track. universal oddity brings in a tonal bell ploughing through light percussion and chris signature kick. no smoke is last but not least delivered with a touch of soul through the melodic stabs and swirling hazy noise effects, taking it even deeper. hans bouffmhyre adds his touch to the ep with his remix of acid whip, pulling away from the acid and focusing on the drums and effects, the sleaze and electric deluxe artist doesnt fail to deliver as the track flows, drops and lifts with this warehouse style monster.
decoy records is launching in 2012 at a time where electronic music has become very exciting. with a grass roots approach and a nod to talented uk artists, the story begins.
