Press Info:
Following on from September’s “Sonic Underworld EP” by Shlomi Aber & Kashpitzky, James Ruskin’s label delivers another first as Chloe Lula presents her Blueprint Records debut with the “Torpor EP”.

Chloe is a resident DJ at Tresor. She’s played at Berghain, Boiler Room, Khidi, Movement weekend in Detroit, and countless clubs, festivals and parties across Asia, Europe, and North and South America alongside artists like Kanding Ray, Helena Hauff and Lewis Fautzi, becoming known for atmospheric, acidic sets that dig deep into the niche recesses of techno. In addition to her career as a DJ and producer, Lula is a cellist—her debut instrumental full-length will be out on James Ginzburg’s Subtext label in November 2024—and the senior producer of Resident Advisor, where she hosts and curates panels and interviews as a broadcast journalist at festivals like Nuits Sonores, Dekmantel, Unsound, Rewire and more.

Her debut on Blueprint, “Torpor” is a reflection of her stylistic evolution, bringing the sounds of ambience and synths into a clean, contemporary techno framework. A lifelong reader, each track—and the EP’s name itself—pays homage to a book or piece of writing that has been influential in her development as a writer and an artist.

Press Info:
After new releases by Alexander Johansson & Mattias Fridell in April and Vinicius Honorio in May, James Ruskin welcomes back Kr!z with his third EP for Blueprint.

Kr!z has been at the forefront of techno for more than a decade. Influenced by the hypnotic and energetic sound helmed by veterans such as Jeff Mills, Steve Rachmad and James Ruskin, he gradually but steadily developed his own identity in the international techno scene. After making a name for himself as a skilled DJ in home country Belgium and the Netherlands, Kr!z launched Token Records in 2007. It has since been a leading outlet for heady, purist sounds. He rapidly established the label as a fixed value with a timeless and powerful sound and took it around the world with label nights on every continent.

After 12 years spent assiduously focused on curating the Token discography, showcasing artists he has nurtured and supported over this time, 2019 saw the release of his long awaited debut EP on Token. “Mantra” received high acclaim by both media and the scene’s key DJs. This continued in 2020, when he released the track “Scorpion’s Tail” on Voltage Imprint and “Malice” & “Imperative Needs” as part of a split EP with Pfirter on his MindTrip label. 2022 was his most prolific year to date with three full EPs seeing the light of day: “Neutrino EP” on James Ruskin’s Blueprint Records, “The Tunnel” on Setaoc Mass’ SK_eleven and “Atlantis” on his Token. In 2023 he released a follow up on Blueprint “Revelation”, a split EP with Steve Rachmad on Reclaim Your City and “Marbles” on Token.

Now, the Belgian DJ and producer returns to Blueprint with a new 4-tracker this summer, entitled “Horo EP”.
