marco bailey & david schwartz serving us an ep full of slamming analog dance floor killers.

superb berghain infected techno.

having carved out a lane truly his own in the often harshly competitive world of techno, argentinian-born / barcelona-based producer sebastian lopez, alias flug, has long proven to be no bit player in the scene and his compositions have kept signalling a fighting fit producer, whose highest standards of floor skippering and experimentation-friendly approach have never failed him over the years. resurfacing three years after the drop of his debut vinyl album, -in safe hiding-, flug clocks in on quartz rec with -flug i the collection- - a long-player bound to reconnect fully with the club and produce very energetic tracks that represent the techno he loves playing during his dj sets. all tracks were originally written on tour, on the plane or in hotel rooms to better capture the dancefloors vibe, using field recordings from around the globe and later processed in the studio via his analogue arsenal of preference.

rolling techno from habgud, remixed by kwartz.

cardao is back on quartz rec with a limited edition vinyl containing the title track from his previous digital ep acid andromeda >qrz040< and phenomena, first released on thunderstorm ep >qrz034<, two tracks that received great feedback from djs and fans alike. french producer kmyle >skryptom, clergy< delivers a stunning interpretation of acid andromeda with harder distorted beats, while label head paul ritch completes the package with a relentless original track doubies.

limited to 200 copies, the handmade vinyl cover is painted by sasha sime, thus making each copy unique. hot on the heels of paul ritch s >s.c.u.d< ep, quartz rec welcomes joton for a slamming ep >the fourth d<. the spanish producer and new rhythmic label owner delivers highly effective techno grooves on >the fourth d< and >dark sculptures<, while distant sounds on >different faces< and mystic chants on >diatomic< give this ep a shamanic dimension.

quartz rec kicks off the new year with >a man lost in time< by fragmentor. the italian, japan-based producer is a resident at mind off, tokyo, and recently started his own imprint follow the flow with a jonas kopp ep for which he delivered a stunning remix. here, he delivers two thumping acid tracks: >a man lost in time< comes first, bleeps and hisses unraveling on a booming kick, followed by >blowtorch< with its escalating frenzied acid lines on the b side. >synthetic rain< the ambient cut closing this ep illustrates even more that fragmentor is a master in creating slowly building atmospheres full of twists and eerie sounds and a producer to watch for. >a man lost in time< will be released on grey vinyl limited to 200 copies on january 21st 2019.

overdriven, scuffed up techno from newly born uk label, eternal damnation. 100% pure energy.

following releases by label boss paul ritch and portuguese producer cardao, quartz rec welcomes a new addition to its roster, dj sodeyama, with >i wanna dance< ep. dj, producer, label owner & founder of arpa records, yoshifumi sodeyama started djing in the early 90s in his native tokyo. his well crafted productions have been released on japanese and international labels, including a recent appearance on nina kravitzs trip compilation >i have a question<. on this ep, from the building tension of the opening track, to the beautiful acid sounds of the last, dj sodeyama manages to create great atmospheres using repetitive patterns with drifting sounds that will surely make the dancers mind wander.

quartz hits it hard!

ltd repress , balck vinyl - knarziger kwartz techno

forging a distinctive sound in todays crowded techno landscape is no easy task. madrid based mario campos aka kwartz has grown his robust, propulsive sound into one of the most interesting and vital strains of modern techno. after notable releases for mord, warm up, pole recordings, and his own label ‘order & devotion’, we are excited to present a 6 track kwartz offering for horo.
purists will have their desires satiated with the driving, undulating title track and dancefloor favourite ’altered states of consciousness’ while the rest of the ep sees mario take his style into exploration mode. ‘beyond belief’ functions as an emotive centre point to the releases’ varied moods, while the off kilter static of ‘over a sign recognition’ and the writhing bounce of ‘recoil’ and ’frame dislocation’ complete the carefully sculpted form of the release.
‘body sedation’ works in a listening environment as well as it does on an open minded dance floor, and we can confidently say, it’s built to last.

after releasing in labels such as offworldcolonies, undveld brings to order&devotion an obscure journey through far landscapes. the beginning of the trip starts with two cuts starred by hypnotic beats, tense pads and abstract synths. following this, on the b side you’ll find a strong remix by label’s honcho kwartz, adding heavy industrialized elements to the lithuanian artist work. the journey ends with an ambient excerpt.

limited pressing on marbled vinyl.

not much to say about our 6th release, as the music speaks for itself. a heavyweight v/a with some of the finest artists of our scene, including bomb tracks from uvb, endlec, kwartz and, one of our all-time favourites, dj boss! proudly compiled and presented!

shrunken heads” is something we were just kicking around at the time the label was starting to take shape, we felt it to be a good narrative of our influences and visions of how we see acrylic taking shape in the future. kid drama has kindly put together a killer remix for us to celebrate the labels beginning. he has been a massive inspiration for us all musically over the years and we are very humbled to have him on board with the first output. thanks hugely damon for taking time out of your schedule to do that. “motion design” came together fairly quickly, it was made with intent to homage the sound of the old guard we admire to o er our own contribution to that sound. all vinyl are strictly limited edition, and limited to 300 pieces per run. there will never be a repressing of any series. once each release is gone, they are gone forever. mastered and cut by beau at teneightseven. artwork and design by dave knapton at multiplex

knarziger kwartz techno

hertz collision takes over the third release on kwartz’s label order&devotion. the italian duo, whom have released on labels such as frozen border, deliver a moderated charming trip leaded by melodies. on the b side the label honcho and polegroup affiliated, kwartz, assumes the remix duties. adding some electric sounds and increasing the intensity delivered by the original. undoubtedly this two tracker shapes even more the already reputable sound signature of the imprint, with a prospect to the future.

after a successful year with releases on cocoon, cadenza and get physical, gavin herlihy teams up with brothers in crime evan baggs (get physical) and julian ganzer (get physical, meerestief), to deliver a sci-fi soundscape which bounds into a banging bassline driven groove. doing the honours on the remixes are chris carrier and e-contact (half of gimikk), chris turns the track into a funky house tune, while e-contact adds a more of a chicago groove feeling to the track.

phat analog deep house ... secret 1 to 3

with the seventh vinyl release evod music welcomes kwartz, well-knowed spanish producer who released on label like pole group and mord. the release is splitted with evod, two tracks for side. the two tracks by kwartz are noisy, warm, with turbulent grooves, both tunes are overwhelming, with twists of low frequencies sequences and brilliant noises/rhythmics. evod s tracks are a true compromise between old school and modern sonorities, thanks to the raw/analog warm accompanied by abstract and synthetic sounds.

for the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing.

reissue part. 1 is the first release of our new series where we select some of our past tracks, released in the beginning only in digital format on sonntag morgen and now available also on vinyl. enjoy this 4 tracks ep with kwartz, rommek, phara and mental resonance.

nice price deal !!! finally we can make public the sounds these two outstanding talents have been cooking for a long time. damian and santi, 2 artists with a very personal and different vision of techno, have joined forces to bring an amazing piece of 21st century electronic music
