Following a five-year hiatus the #Stockholm based label, Finest Blend makes its return in March. With previous releases from the likes of Orlando Voorn, Shawn Rudiman, Terence Dixon and label head, Kenny Black it became synonymous with hi-tech grooves, breaking barriers, crossing genres and developing new ones. For its re-launch Finest Blend turns to Santiago Salazar with three tracks of his characteristic house / techno sound.

Santiago Salazar, otherwise known as DJ S2 started DJing in the early '90s inspired by mixtapes his brother was bringing back from LA's gay underground scene. After moving to Detroit, Santiago began his musical training with non other than UR's Mike Banks, going on to mix and edit several UR releases, most notably remixing the mighty 'Return of the Dragons' and DJ Rolando's 'Aguila'. Santiago released his own tracks under monikers like Aztech Sol and Seldom Seen and became a core member of the Los Hermanos and Galaxy 2 Galaxy live bands, using his DJ skills to control the flow and intensity of the live performances. Alongside long time friend Esteban Adame, Santiago formed ICAN (short for Mexican) and has released highly acclaimed tracks for the label as well as Carl Craig's Planet E.

His new EP for Finest Blend opens with the upbeat 'Galactic Stomp' full of shimmering flourishes and a tough bassline, before the funked-up shuffle of 'The Twang' makes its hit, ending with the spacey electronics of '3000 Northend'.

Mat.Joe - Luvit :
As steady providers of some of the most exciting club music around, we brought one of our busiest core acts, Mat.Joe, back in the saddle with an outstanding 2-track EP to do the honors.

"Luvit" is one of those songs that turns a night around, with infectious piano stabs, hypnotic pads and vocals and a massive breakdown this groovy summer jam will uplift the spirit of everyone in any discerning dancefloor.

With 'Lost Your Mind' on the flipside, the Berlin duo brings Zach Joss, one of the most sough after set of vocal chords in the scene under his Forrest alias, to the mic and together they create a french house/disco infused house vocal monster with incredible arrangements and a catchy funk bassline. Once again the breakdown build up is huge and turns this one into a mad floorfiller...

Summer is at its peak and we are very happy to keep providing the perfect soundtrack for a great party! Mat.Joe did it again!

Purple Disco Machine - Musique:

One of the fastest growing names in our roster and probably throughout the whole scene as well, Purple Disco Machine, creates such a level of expectation that we can't help to feel overthrilled every time he delivers one of his perfectly crafted EP's. We truly love him here at OFF recordings and he keeps paying back with incredible music.



This is probably one of his biggest works to date, "Musique" is one of those tracks that turns all the heads around, a game changer. With his trademark disco vibe and a touch of french house influence, PDM sends us on a soul trip with infectious chords, intense drums, inmense breakdowns and just the right amount of epic in what will sure be one of this summer's biggest anthems.



Flip for "Let The Rain Pour" where its all about the synth disco vibes and indie melancholic vocals working their magic around wonderfully arranged keys. The energy in this two songs is through the roof, we are happy once again to be able to bring you music from the heart. Dont sleep on this!

!!! limited repress coming shortly - exclusively signed by manfred vokuhila !!! mihai popoviciu, der schon auf dj hell's gigolo records einen club hit gelandet hat, kommt hier mit
einem hammer harten 4 tracker. with this ep you take control about the danceflloor! big support by hell and vaeth.

For their 100th release SCI+TEC are excited to present something very special...

Rolling with a lucid low-end groove and Asia Argento's sultry purring sermon, this rich, bulbous bass joint is coded with the intricate attention to detail Dubfire has long since been associated with. Dynamically deep but sonically hulking, this is Dubfire at his darkest and most demonstrative. And it comes with a unique story that befits such an exceptional release...

Several years ago Ali Naderzad, an old college friend of Dubfire's, moved to Paris, became a film critic and befriended critically acclaimed writer, director and actress Asia Argento. Famed for pushing herself creatively in a myriad fields - from writing novels to modelling - her involvement and passion for music led to an album. Released last year on Nuun Music, Total Entropy was penned with scene-shaping Italian producer and musician the.art.of.FY (Michele Pauli). When he heard 'Come', Ali Naderzad instantly thought of his old friend for a remix project. 

'I met Asia at the Cannes Festival in 2013,' says Naderzad. 'I heard her album and got hooked immediately.  The music has a lot in common with Dubfire's deep and dark sound and I thought of him immediately for a reboot of "Come." It was that eureka moment, I guess!'

He instantly joined the dots between Dubfire, Asia and producer Pauli and the talented trio knew they had something special on their hands: Pauli's original stark sonic bedrock, Asia's sensuous spoken words and Dubfire's ability to inject his twisted sonic signature while paying complete respect to the original ensured this remix of 'Come' would smash in all directions.

With such strong connections and such a wealth of creativity behind it, SCI+TEC knew it would be the perfect record to highlight their centennial release. Celebrations don't get deeper or more discerning than this.

After Martinez and it's "Interaction" EP, it's another great honor for JETT to welcome a king size artist on the label.

Andreas Henneberg is the founder of Voltage Musique Records and Cascandy as well as part of 'The Glitz' and 'Hennon'. He is also parts of the famous Plantage 13 family and regulary releases on record labels like IDEAL Audio, Confused Recordings, Herzblut, AREAL, Kiddaz.FM, Material and Toolroom.

Aldo Cadiz is already well known on JETT with his famous EP 'Zaze Tripa' in 2011, he strikes again with his very own groovy and techy style. JETT label owner Fred Siera delivers the second remix in a dark and deep mood.

Support from :

Dubfire, Mihalis Safras, Hermanez, Marco Carola, Piemont, Dan Drastic, Riva Starr, Zoe Xenia, Dole & Kom, Stacey Pullen, Macromism, David Herrero, Marc DePulse, The Junkies, Andre Butano, Dubnitzky, Wollion, Heartik, Neverdogs...

The guys from Ektschn! perfectly capture the muffled sounds that occur as the sun hits the horizon. In case you wonder how come you have not heard of this live act before or why you have not seen the boys in any of your favorite underground clubs, you are in for quite the surprise. Beatamines and Mirco Niemeier are the two friendly faces, hiding behind their new monicker - Ektschn! It seems that the collaboration between to two is quite a fruitful one listening to these two monster tracks, charged with such an electrifying rhythm. Ektschn & Chunky are made for dancing, sweating and excessive exchange of positive vibes. Sunset Handjob must be definitely pleased with its 7th hyperactive kid...

Die dumpfen Klänge, die entstehen, wenn die Sonne auf den ebenen Horizont trifft, haben die Jungs von Ektschn perfekt eingefangen. Wer sich fragt, warum uns dieser steppende Liveact noch nie auf den gewienerten Bodenfliesen der unter Tage liegenden Nachtclubs begegnet ist, dürfte überrascht sein, dass sich hinter Ektschn die altbekannten Gesichter von Beatamines & Mirco Niemeier verbergen. Sie haben die vibrierende Stille in ein enges Korsett der feinsten durch elektronischen Strom erzeugten Rhythmen gepresst und herausgekommen sind zwei Bretter, die eine Maserung Richtung vorwärts haben. Ektschn und Chunky sind zum Tanzen, Zappeln und Schwitzen gemacht. Und so freut sich Sunset Handjob über das 7. hyperaktive Kind.

Almighty is an intelligent and fun tribal tech-house track from swedish producer Hakan Ludvigson and offers complex rhythms and a quirky voice.Per Hammar (Great Stuff Recordings) adds a huge mainroom house remix tothe pack - real chart-topping material!

On the A side, Leftwing and Kody have called up German Brigante to bring his infectious dancefloor grooves to this Lost Records latest release. Their Spanish hombre has released music on some impressive labels over the last few years, and has been on the Lost A&R radar for while now. Kimbo sees German stepp up with a characteristic tech house vibe. This bassline heavy groove fits in nicely with some hidden vocal samples and an unnerving synth effect, on top of a big drop. The spaced out drum patterns throughout will have the dancefloor fixated on their feet. On a remix tip is one of Brigante's friends and countryman, Cuartero. He reworks the original with his trademarked techno tremors, taking the track further underground with deeper hooks where the method on the raw synths requires no special effects. Unalloyed rare energy throughout which will work up a mysterious groove on any dancefloor.

Flipping to the AA side, straight off the bat Hector Couto kicks off with the title track "I Believe", a hypnotic and infectious number armed to the teeth with precise hi-hats and brooding basslines. "I Believe" cements Hector Couto's production to an ever evolving sound while setting the stage perfectly for the follow up track "Knight Riders". Built on similar foundations to "I Believe", "Knight Riders" introduces a rich soundscape, playing deep and shadowy attributes against a field of succinct vocals and lead synth lines.

Following on from last year's colossal success, Hungarian producer Jay Lumen is set to drop a two track EP on the Kittball imprint this February.

Jay Lumen has been making a serious dent in the Beatport Overall Charts in recent years by making a habit out of recurring Top 10 chart appearances. The talented producer has also achieved a slew of number ones within the Tech House and Techno categories such as with 'The Drummer', 'Get Ya!' as well as his massive remix of Kevin Saunderson's 'The Sound'. Furthermore with only a month into 2014 Lumen has already seen 'Say What' and 'Nobody' achieving number 5 and 7 positions in the Tech House charts respectively, an early forecast of another thriving year for the artist.

Continuing this momentum into February, Jay Lumen's upcoming release on Kittball is one which will undoubtedly follow suit. 'Find Myself' is a percussive beast complete with drum rolls and a punchy hook to forge a track geared for that peak time dancefloor frenzy. On the other hand 'Radio Ready' provides a more debauched affair, using a concoction of pulsing bass, whirring synths and remorseless build ups which continuously fuel the intensity of this unbelievably sinister cut.
