lando is known for teaming up with low limit as lazer sword, a future hip-hop from group from the bay area. his solo tracks are freaked out juggernauts of electronic music, primarily experimenting with various mutations of house. dense instrumentation, analog synth and drum machine work, complex melodies, and creeping basslines are pooled from his musical obsessions with 90s rnb, classic house, freestyle, garage, detroit techno, early synthesizer music, timbaland, and… to be honest, everything in between.
>maneuver< is a sure shot banger, a futuristic synth piece with heavy garage leanings and even a hint of robin s classic >show me love<. on the flip we find >run it<, a more introvert electro fused b-boy classic from future times.

braille serves up a firing couple of tracks on rush hours direct current sub label.... tip!! braille is better known as praveen, who forms sepalcure together with machinedrum. he uses this new alias for his house orientated output. >the year 3000< is a vocal house mover of anthemic proportions. it craftily reworks a classic chicago house vocal and gives it new life back into the future. banging! >leavin without you< is built around a heartfelt vocal soul sample, which cuts in and out of the mix leaving room the music to take off leaving planet earth.

we are pleased to announce the debut release of a young producer from the uk, bnjmn. his adventurous electronic sound is one we haven t heard in a while, and excited us on first listen. while on one hand his music has a traditional sound (early 90s uk), bnjmn does create a world of his own due to the versatility in his productions. it is this versatility that creates an exciting hybrid sound, therefore pushing the envelope and making it sound very current, future even

its not every day that we receive demos from new artists that totally rock our world, but when its happens its a joy and a reminder of why we are still doing this. and so tears of joy rolled onto the speakers when we played policys demos. when contacted policy he told us he is from nyc, is a part time movie director and only started making music recently. out of the bunch of tracks we received >specialty party< and >light over fort lee< form his debut ep. both tracks challenge the beat spectrum once again and definitely speak his cinematic mind. expect more music from policy on rush hour later this year. he surely is our contender for best newcomer of 2011.

when we released aardvarcks nosestep as part of his well well well ep in the summer of 2007 it cause quite a stir in the then formative dubstep scene, almost anybody played that track. now we re-release it with a new version by cosmin trg, who transformed it into a strong acidic stepper, 2010 style. on the b-side we find an unreleased nubian mindz remix from aardvarcks spoken release from 2001. we didnt release it at the time, but with the whole new future house movement coming strong, the timing couldnt be more perfect

cosmin trg is back with his 2nd release in the direct current series on rush hour. this time he loses the steppy beats and turns out two fierce house tracks, yet he keeps his signature cut up r&b samples and the future attitude. trg is fast becoming one of our favorite new house producers

experienced dutch producer tom ruijg rightly won praise for his first 12inch as tracey, skyfall, which surfaced on voyage direct in early 2017. combining elements seemingly inspired by vintage detroit futurism, ‘90s ambient techno and his own love of colourful synthesizer melodies, the ep saw tracey set out his stall in impressive fashion.

5 track ep. yamahas dx series of synthesizers has long been a source of inspiration for tom trago. the dx7, in particular, appeals to the dutch producer thanks to a unique sound that he describes as glassy but classic and icy. 34 years after it went on sale the same year as trago was born, interestingly the synthesizer’s sound still bristles with futurist appeal. trago, who was partially trained in how to use the dx7 by studio friends bok bok, sterac electronics and juju and jordash, has decided to pay tribute to this most distinctive of synthesizers by using it as inspiration for serene waters, his first ep for voyage direct since 2014 epic hidden heart of gold.

weiss blasts off via “brain fever”, where raw, mind-altering arpeggio bass, fuzzy drum machine hits, spacey chords and alien electronics thrust our hero skywards. think of it as techno for funk-fuelled, italo-disco loving astronauts whose journey to the end of the universe is only just underway. this intergalactic funk blueprint is explored further on the deeper and more melodious “you want a cigarette”, where weiss’s vocoder vocals wrap themselves around mutant tb-303 lines, rush-inducing chords and clattering machine percussion. on “space ghetto (booty)”, our hero celebrates the discovery of previously unknown worlds in the only way he knows how. with kaleidoscopic, full-throttle electronic motifs and funk-fuelled synth-bass to the fore, weiss offers his own unique take on electrofunk. pleasingly fuzzy and tightly wrapped in the syncopated drum machine handclaps of ghetto-house, it’s a typically far-sighted and attractive proposition.

dope archival release of steve rachmads long time side project where he exposes the more funk / electro side of his talents. this is musical machine-head side of the amsterdam electro scene (also purveyed buy the likes of comtron). dense undertones of cybotron/ model 500 on this one. top notch productions from a dutch master. check!

amongst those on the amsterdam club scene, tom ruijg is highly regarded as a dj and producer. with a production history that stretches back to the turn of the decade, and includes releases under his given name on bangbang!, karat, hot waves and soweso, he’s no newcomer, either. skyfall is his first 12inch for voyage direct, following a fine contribution to the first mission compilation – alongside friend and sometime studio partner efde – back in 2015. more pertinently, the ep marks the first time hes used the tracey moniker for a release

efde s first release on voyage direct. the label embraces efde, regarding my bleep as arguably his most stunning production yet. some may be familiar with efdes work through his occasional 12inch singles for nordik netrecords and soweso, where he distilled a variety of influences think dreamy, ultra-deep house, the chicago bump of chez damier, and the sci-fi pulse of detroit into tracks that had a distinctive vibe all of their own. here he gets a chance to showcase his trademark sound on a four-track ep for the amsterdam-based label.

djoko is no stranger to voyage direct. having first appeared on the label way back in 2012, hes returned numerous times since, becoming an integral member of the imprints growing family of artists. x rated stuff.

as part of the labels mission to champion dutch talent, voyage direct has always promoted new, up and coming, and little-known producers. boss tom tragos master plan includes building a family of artists, in part through helping unheralded local producers to fulfill their potential.

following a summer of fifth birthday celebrations, tom tragos voyage direct label returns to action with a brand new 12inch from amsterdam scene stalwart simon weiss. although a new member of the voyage direct family, weiss is no newcomer to the scene. hes previously delivered high grade eps for rush hour, deepermotions and home taping is killing music, and his contribution to first mission, voyage directs fifth anniversary compilation, was one of the undoubted highlights of that set.
