Press Info:
Steve Rachmad, aka Sterac returns to Luke Slater’s Mote-Evolver imprint this May to release the ‘Numbers’ EP.

Since his earliest days in the scene, Amsterdam’s Steve Rachmad has created a legion of monikers to cover his compositions’ variety and broadness. One of them being Sterac which focuses on the deeper and more obscure end of the techno genre. The Sterac discography consists of signature cuts, spread out over genre-defining labels such as M-Plant, Tresor, Klockworks, Afterlife, Mote-Evolver, Indigo Aera, and Delsin.

His ‘Numbers’ EP sees Steve drop the first release of 2021 under his Sterac alias as he makes a return to Luke Slater’s Mote-Evolver label with four tunnelling techno tracks.

Kicking off the release is ‘Ghost 37’, which employs vacillating grooves, ominous synths and intricate mechanics before ‘Lost Track 22’ fuses sizzling 303s, dynamic drums and mammoth, alien-sounding modulations.

On the flip, ‘Rey Fur 2.1’ keeps the energy flowing with a high-impact clapper featuring bustling fx and expansive tones until ‘Tr-15’ masterfully rounds off the EP with twisting synth flutters, rattling highs and hypnotic bass grooves intricately unfolding underneath.

Press Info:
As a follow up release to The System EP released in March, three remixes are presented along with a new original track.

“No Future” serves up dystopian new beat for 2021, an industrial club banger further building upon the themes introduced on The System EP.

“The System” gets remixed by San Diego’s Vaughn Avakian (Club Sabbat), hot off last year’s darkwave floor fillers for Famblood and Matte Blvck and his forthcoming remixes for Alien Sex Fiend.

“The Beat” receives two brutal techno treatments from Los Angeles based AXKAN (Omen Recordings). AKXAN inflicts his signature dark wherehouse sound in both broken beat and 4/4 flavors (Remix A and Remix B).

Press Info:
2021 sees EPM hit a new milestone as the digital distribution, rights management, PR company and record label celebrates 20 years of electronic music. The first part of the EPM20 celebrations sees a series of three multi-artist EPs released across the summer, each focussing on a different genre – techno, electro and house – the three main pillars of EPM’s musical heritage. Each EP features four brand new and exclusive tracks released digitally and on vinyl in specially designed sleeves.

The first of these EPs focuses on techno and presents new tracks from four of the world’s leading techno artists, Robert Hood, Ben Sims, James Ruskin and Mark Broom. The choice was an easy one for EPM, not only because of the artists’ excellent production skills but also because of a long working relationship, which includes the digital distribution of their respective labels – M-Plant, Hardgroove, Blueprint and Beard Man.

Robert Hood opens the release with ‘Shadows’. It’s classic Hood with a modern twist, as the minimal techno master segues between a tough line and delicate bells. Next, Ben Sims infuses ‘Xotnuc’ with all the upbeat energy and tech-funk he brings to his skilful DJ sets. James Ruskin then steps up, bringing a dizzying experimental edge to ‘There Was A Time’ that’s championed 25 years of his Blueprint label. Last but definitely not least is the UK techno icon, Mark Broom. ‘The Three Swords’ builds with a beautiful precision that will make you yearn for the dance floor even harder.

The second EP featuring four electro tracks follows in June, with the third, house EP in July. The compilation ‘EPM20’ will follow after the summer.
