Press Info:
As EPM celebrate their 25th year, a stunning full length-compilation and accompanying vinyl EP are set to cap this landmark 12 months.

Acting as a taster for the full label compilation, the “25 Years of Music EP” release features tracks from some of techno’s most revered and exciting producers. This stellar line-up includes IMOGEN, Marcel Dettmann, Donato Dozzy and Robert Hood who provide a brand new and exclusive track each.

IMOGEN’s “Losing Myself” is pure dance floor dynamite! Sharp, cavernous and pierced by explosive stabs this is prime time techno in its rawest and most primal form. Utterly exhilarating! Marcel Dettmann’s “Unknown Pressure” is a more hypnotic take, featuring muted stabs that brim with pulsating menace before Donato Dozzy shows us that acid is well and truly back with the energetic drive of “Calzetta”. Finally, the minimal master himself, Robert Hood brings us that divine “less is more” magic with the glorious “Hologram” – a track that only he could make sound so irresistibly instant, driving and downright funky.

As respected DJs and producers in their own fields of the techno axis, this EP is a must have for lovers of the genre.

“25 Years of Music EP” is released on vinyl and digital on 20 November.

The “25 Years of Music” digital compilation album is released digitally on 27 November.

out now: Cristian Vogel – NEL And The Instrument Of Shapes [EPM Music]

Artist:
Cristian Vogel

Title:
NEL And The Instrument Of Shapes

Label:
EPM Music

Cat#:
EPM124

Release Date:
13th March 2026

Format:
download & streaming

Tracklist:
01.
The Instrument Of Shapes

02.
Stepping Stones

Press Info:
Cristian Vogel reprises his NEL alias for his sixth outing on EPM as he presents ‘NEL and The Instrument of Shapes’, an EP featuring two new tracks from the electronic maverick.

Cristian Vogel is a long-term innovator in the composition, mixing and performance of electronic sounds. Spanning over 30 years in the vanguard of international electronic music, his work has been acknowledged as an outstanding influence in the fields of composition for stage, club culture and studio. His numerous album releases have graced such esteemed labels as Tresor, Mille Plateaux, novamute, Shitkatapult, Sub Rosa and more recently his own Endless Process label.

His studio work as NEL is a departure from his more experimental album and sound design compositions and while these will continue, NEL tracks bear a closer resemblance to Cristian’s earlier production style, delivering tougher beats and rhythmic textures primarily using Modular synths in a hands on, improvised live-to-tape process.

‘The Instrument of Shapes’ sees Cristian bury himself back into the deep grooves of dub techno with wonderful subtlety and sound craft to create a slow burning cavern of sound whilst ‘Stepping Stones’ is a more carefree and loose modular affair that flits across bass and dark electronica with scant regard for a regular beat.

out for a while: Oliver Way – Stained Glass Shadows (Remixes) [EPM Music]

Artist:
Oliver Way

Title:
Stained Glass Shadows (Remixes)

Label:
EPM Music

Cat#:
EPM066

Release Date:
30th June 2018

Format:
download & streaming

Tracklist:
01.
Stained Glass Shadows
(Robert Hood Remix)

02.
Stained Glass Shadows
(Esteban Adame Remix)

03.
Stained Glass Shadows
(DJ 3000 Remix)

Press Info:
EPM’s co-founder and one half of the Detroit Grand Pubahs, Oliver Way released his debut solo album ‘From the Shadows’ at the end of April. The album is multi-hued; conveying many of the styles that have influenced him over the last 25 years and ‘Stained Glass Shadows’ is its funk-fuelled entry featuring keys by Mitch Marcus, drums by Paul “Feathericci” and bass by Robert Way.

Now three icons take on the remix mantle for this distinctive track and it’s a markedly Detroit-themed cast of Robert Hood, Esteban Adame and DJ 3000.

One of the founding fathers of the Detroit Techno scene and in particular his own brand of Minimal, Robert Hood brings ‘Stained Glass Shadows’ into Techno’s realm with pleasing stomps of the kickdrum, tough stabs and just a hint of the groove we’d normally expect from his Floorplan moniker to maintain a touch of the original’s funk.

Esteban Adame, although hailing from LA (where he runs ICAN with Santiago Salazar), has his own Detroit story having been invited by Mike Banks to Underground Resistance as a keyboardist, performing with Galaxy 2 Galaxy and Los Hermanos, so it’s no surprise that he brings his own level of hi-tech jazz to these remix proceedings.

DJ 3000 lives and breathes Detroit, which is home to him and his firing Motech Records label. Having just presented another top-notch DJ set on the Resident Advisor stage at this year’s Movement festival in Detroit, he now brings his characteristic Motech groove to ‘Stained Glass Shadows’.
