swiss dj & producer, mirko loko, continued to indulge in his intergalactic persuasions on last years long player comet plan. released on cadenza, mirkos second album was enthusiastically received and picked up many fans for its collection of blissfull and wide-eyed electronica and techno sounds. featured guests on the album included dops vocalist, jaw, and francesco tristano.

mirko takes his vision to the next level, producing two tracks that defy any convention in todays often monotonous and stagnating music market: * undo* minimalistic intro leads on to a bunch of spooky vocals looped throughout the whole piece, squelchy synth melodies and percussive stabs all around, while * solaris* atmospheric, bright and ethereal pads make for a more than 12 minutes long trip of blissed out magic.

six years on from his debut album on cadenza, swiss dj/producer mirko loko comes with the follow up to 2009s >seventynine< as he catapults us into the techno and electronica galaxy with >comet plan<.

six years on from his debut album on cadenza, mirko loko returns to the fold with a follow up album (- comet plan -) and a single (- kolor -).
2009s * seventynine* long player helped catapult mirkos profile, not only as a producer, but also as dj, regularly spinning alongside the cadenza crew, and with detroit luminaries such as derrick may and carl craig. and its on this single that mirko invites friend and peer, carl craig, to remix under his c2 guise. wearing his influences on his sleeve, mirko is obviously indebted to the techno music of the motor city, and these classic detroit tropes are certainly used in the building blocks of the original mix of “kolor-, a sprawling and pacey intergalactic journey sprinkled with a dusting of xylophones, bells & chimes, as the melody is driven forward for a heady trip across the night skies.

mirko loko, has always worn his detroit musical influences on his sleeve, counting pioneer carl craig as his mentor, and having worked with the likes of derrick may and stacey pullen in the studio. and on daybreak, mirko fully indulges in the one genre that seems never to get tarnished, the mechanical and industrial beats working off the deep and soulful strings and melancholic pads, a true hallmark of the classic sounds of the motor city

the vagabundos return to kick start the ibiza season in real underground style. cadenza selects the cream of their crop to represent the second mix compilation this year, with cesar merveille and mirko loko going head to head on this real connoisseurs collection. these two 12inch vinyl samplers include full length mixes of 6 of the tracks featured on the compilation. mirko lokos selection includes the dreamy carl craig soundscape remix of his own love harmonic track, kinks chunky remix of matthew dear, and a stone cold nyc classic from ananda project, and the timeless danny tenaglia edit of the saffron (aka rui da silva) mix of cascades of colour

for cadenzas latest output, the imprint serve up something a little different from usual with a versus ep from two astonishingly contrasting yet equally prominent artists within electronic music. no remixes or reinterpretations are to be seen but instead, a meeting of minds between mirko loko and stacey pullen with deux elements. titled in fitting reflection of the combination of swiss born mirko loko and detroit innovator stacey pullen, this two track cut is as its name projects in all musical and conceptual aspects. whilst mirko loko is by no means new to cadenza after releasing his highly praised seventynine album on the label in 2009, stacey pullen is a fresh cadenza artist that the label couldnt be more excited to have aboard…this is >deux elements< the eps first piece is >formulaic mode<, a twisted combination of chaotic clicks merged with underlying melodies and a serene ambience of calm.

more percussive layered grooves from layo & bushwacka! this time in the form of >the longest day<, a deeper house track for the discerning amongst you. >can i feel the vibe?< - we certainly hope you can when this one growls out of your speakers. on the b side, olmeto take great pleasure in welcoming mirko loko to the growing list of remixers working on tracks for the label. having made great music for wonderful labels such as cadenza, desolat & planet e, mirko takes this release a stride or two tougher - he locks the groove and just keeps it rocking…absolute precision.

just in time to warm the winter months up north (and soundtrack some seriously dreamy summer nights down south) comes a very special remix package for mirko lokos album >seventynine<, featuring three certified legends of house and techno: carl craig, ricardo villalobos and cadenzas own master of ceremonies, luciano. and when we say >very special<, we mean it: these are big tunes with a deceptively subtle touch, and their sleight-of-hand moves are going to turn all types of dance floors upside down.

six years on from his debut album on cadenza, swiss dj/producer mirko loko comes with the follow up to 2009s >seventynine< as he catapults us into the techno and electronica galaxy with >comet plan<.

>sidonia< opens, immediately announcing that this wont be merely business as usual. with its groaning sub-bass and flickering percussive flashes, the track echoes the dubby, drifting melancholy of classic warp records-always, in truth, a key influence for cadenza. bells and voices lend an atmosphere of shimmering energy thats carried over into >around the angel< which sails jubilantly forward, propelled by intricate polyrhythms and uplifting female vocals.
