new release by jeff mills on his something in the sky installment!

this ep is somehow special for us because we’,ve been wanting the original track for 4 years…,. back then, this very track called ‘,san pellegrino’, by rj valeo aka isomer transition grabbed our attention. our first offer to release rj’,s music was declined because he had different plans for it at this time. but our enthusiasm never really faded out, and nearly 3 years later we simply asked him again. this time is visibly worked. the b side has been confided to british producer och, undoubtedly on fire at the moment with his excellent publications on trelik, pal sl, his own autoreply or more recently on all inn records. he delivered a powerful floor remix, designed for nocturnal peak times –, as the name ‘,och’,s 4am mix’, suggests.
