Press Info:
Stanz Amor delivers a five-track EP that blends crunchy sound design, tribal influences and driving grooves into a cohesive statement of energy, movement and atmosphere. Hailing from Blackpool UK, Stanz Amor Emerged in 2023 with a distinctly old-school approach, channeling groove, rhythm and intensity into a modern context, which he showcases on his Backspin Records debut EP ‘Mercurial’.

Opening with ‘Kong’, the EP sets the tone with an old school spirit reimagined through a contemporary lens. Loopy structures, banging percussions and textured, gritty elements create a hypnotic flow designed for peak-time moments. ‘Mercurial’ raises the intensity, propelled by fast-paced hi-hats and shimmering rides that inject constant motion, while a rolling low end give the track serious weight. A striking Latin vocal lingers throughout, leaving a lasting impression long after the track fades. On the B-side ‘Count’ shifts the energy into a groove led by bongos underpinned by a heavy sub and catchy, repeating vocals that lock into a tight, circular rhythm. ‘Yawhoo’ follows with a punchy kick, rumbling foundation and driving percussion, elevated by a check vocal and a whistle straight out of the 90s rave era, adding a playful, nostalgic edge. The closing track is a remix of ‘Count’ by Steve Redhead, who reinterprets the original with forceful yet hypnotic percussion and finely detailed vocal work. A Belgian techno mainstay since the early 2000s, Redhead is known for his uncompromising, groove-driven sound and lasting influence within the underground.

With this release, Stanz Amor delivers a focused and effective collection built on groove, repetition and dancefloor functionality. Released on Regal’s Backspin Records, a label rooted in the underground and dedicated to honoring techno’s origins while pushing its future, the project balances nostalgia with modern clarity, designed to resonate in clubs and to leave a lasting impact.

Press Info:
“Live From Earth” is proud to present the highly anticipated album “Løvehjerte” by MRD who has spent two years putting together a collection of 10 songs that showcase his signature sound. This album is a dedication to his journey as a writer and composer, taking influences from new wave, post-punk, techno, and pop music.

Drawing inspiration from his experiences and nature’s beauty, MRD has imbued his compositions with a deeper touch, creating a beautiful and introspective album. The title “Løvehjerte” pays homage to the Astrid Lindgren movie “Brødrene Løvehjerte,” which tells a heart-warming story about brotherhood and perseverance.
The themes of the songs are centered around experiences of breakups, lost friends, loneliness, new friends, and the constant pursuit of quality in life. MRD’s melancholic yet captivating lyrics come from both real-life experiences and fiction, creating an emotional journey for the listener.

The album features collaborations with some talented artists who have contributed their perspective to the artist’s sound. “TDJ” on “Memories Of You” was recorded in Canada, Montreal, while “Caiva” adds her beautiful vocals and saxophone solo to “Find My Way.” “Narciss” also lends their magical production to “Midsommar,” while the artist’s good friend Kristoffer Scheie helped record the vocals and co-wrote the lyrics.

This latest work is sure to become a crossover sensation. Bridging the gap between Indie and Techno in a way only MRD can. MRD’s album launch will be one of our highlights of this spring.

MRD has dedicated this album to his dog “Daffy“
