Press Info:
Wrapping up our 20th year in fine style EPM are delighted to reveal the release of ‘Beyond the Reach of Time’, the surprise 4th instalment of our EPM20 vinyl series from UK techno master, Regis.

Karl O’Connor (aka Regis) has remained a maverick and iconic figure on the global techno stage, ever since his ‘Montreal’ EP burned his name across the world’s dancefloors some 25 years ago. His unconventional and single-minded label, Downwards, often shrouded by mythology, has also helped to launch fellow protagonist Surgeon as one of techno’s most revered DJ/producers.

Never one to tread the easy path, O’Connor alongside known projects such as British Murder Boys (with Surgeon), O/V/R with James Ruskin and Sandwell District alongside Function and Silent Servant has more recently collaborated with artists such as Ann Margaret Hogan (piano) and Justin K. Broadrick on guitar (previously of Godflesh) for a one-off concert performed live in the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus, Argolis, Greece as well as releasing last year’s stunning new album ‘In This Is The Light That You Miss’ on Downwards. In his continuous search to side-step convention, he remains one of the more highly regarded creative forces within the British techno/electronic scene.

The genesis of the tracks on ‘Beyond the Reach of Time’ go way back to 1999 and thanks to various internet leaks have, over the following years, added to the mystique that surrounds them and the artist. Recorded in a period when O’Connor was putting tracks together for both an album on Tresor and an anonymous shortly-lived house label called Housework, these tracks seemed to fit neither the hard-edged Regis sound of the time nor the Housework style and simply slipped through the cracks.

Now over 20 years after their creation we are proud to give these long-lost Regis tracks the official release they deserve. The EP opens with the thumping yet muted tribalism of ‘No Love From Above’ whereby O’Connor approaches the dancefloor with malevolent restraint before ‘At the Side of Silence’ fuses this approach with the chord motif that runs through the beating heart of this release.

Rolling in at just under 13 minutes the closing ‘Beyond the Reach of Time Pt.2’ is epic in both scale and sound, its synth drenched chords taking it closer to Motor City emotionalism than anything O’Connor has committed to wax. Its sister piece ‘Beyond the Reach of Time Pt.1’ can also be found on ‘EPM20’, the 21-track digital compilation marking EPM’s 20th Year.

Press Info:
Vitus’ Curse strikes once again and brings its second compilation coming in two parts „sonus noctis“ and „sonus diēi“ representing the sound of both, night and day featuring 19 artists with a total of 20 tracks. With a journey from multifaceted rave atmospheres and pumping locked grooves to vivid after hour euphoria and pure emotions we proudly present our meticulously curated selection of modern, dynamic club sounds settled in and around the realm of Techno.” Vitus’ Curse stands for freedom, peace, and togetherness. Diversity is our message, dancing is our weapon.

Aethernal – “Distant Arrival”
Resembling the feeling when the first sunbeams touch your skin at sunrise “Distant Arrival” carries you along with warm, uplifting, almost divine synthesizer melodies. Full of emotions Aethernal’s latest atmospheric gem lets you lose yourself in its tapestry of sound that transforms back and forth from tranquility to utterly elation driven by its intense and thoroughly crafted sound design.

Talfelt – “Memories”
With “Memories” Talfelt once again delivers a joyful but driving journey through ethereal spaces spiked with moody twists., its distinctively analog charm, and slightly melancholic touch. Perfectly reflecting after hour vibes as well as particularly emotional moments this gem shall lighten up all present souls with seldomly heard excellence.

Murky fm – “At Peace”
To continue the captivating yet sentimental streak of Sonus Diēi, Murky fm provided his moderately paced but charming opus “At Peace”. Clean and powerful it drifts like a flying carpet flying over the hustle and bustle of raving conveying a deeply peaceful and relaxed state of mind – mesmerizing but still pounding.

Antic Soul – “Licht Und Schatten”
Like a dichotomous interplay between light and darkness Antic Souls’ “Licht und Schatten” takes the listener along on a vivid and driving ride characterized by the alternating appearance of high and low melodic sequences that give the track its unique energy and joy. Authentic and ever-changing layers of textures, classic drum patterns, and percussions at a spanking pace make it the perfect tool for playful vibes on every dancefloor causing an irresistible and endless urge for dancing.

Blanka – “Current Vibrations”
Functional and with a more tool-ish approach Room Trax co-founder BLANKA contributes her hypnotic, percussion, and bassline-driven track “Current Vibrations” that assertively captures and evokes endless dancing with style. Groovy and in an old-school manner it uncannily blends into a moody almost cloudy version of itself and back to its original bouncy state revitalizing the power of the audience.

Mamwadi – “Rotation”
Driven by groovy drums and percussions and its propelling bassline “Rotation” excellently works as a bouncy tool perfectly warming up for any kind of dance-off. Strongly defined by ist spacial textures moving throughout the stereo panorama it fetches the listener with its pure and unstoppable flow – another gem by young talent Mamwadi.

Noah Choi – “Mr. Anderson”
Deep but mesmerizing Noah Choi’s “Mr. Anderson” sucks all present courtesy into a mindbending and otherworldly atmosphere filled with hypnotic progressions, textures, and the distinctive acid lead melody. Combined with the punching bass letting you plunge into a sensual state of mind it almost seems that the rules of gravity no longer matter – it’s time to get lost.

Swooh – “Asphyxia”
Apart from her devotion to fast Trance-infused Techno weapons – that she proved more than once – Swooh seamlessly creates the finest offgrid electronic cuts once of a kind. Following this approach “Asphyxia” comes as a breathtaking and sweaty heater with a savagely blasting bassline, nasty breakbeat patterns, and its fiery energy quickly changing the mood with style.

Not Modest – “Fainted Signs”
Embedded in an experimental set of percussions and atmospheric pads, paired with the abrupt onset of a deep synthesizer and the advent of the distant angelic vocals “Fainted Signs” comes as an ambivalent off-grid excursion. Both, otherworldly harmonious and imposingly oppressive it tells a smooth, weightless, and unique story contributed by Vitus’ Curse label head Not Modest.

Any Mello – “Wimm”
As if in a dream, Any Mello asks one of the most existential questions one can ask, answering it with playful ease through a melody that is both firm and mellow. “Wimm” conveys peacefulness, depth, and tranquility as few other tracks can. It is playful with emotional depth, melancholic with optimism, like waking up to birdsongs after unsettling dreams – Any Mello like never heard before.
