With his Internet radio station/blog Brick Lane Radio running at full steam, London house DJ/producer Pablo del Monte (a.k.a. Paul Whelan) also champions house music on the label front with his East Recordings.
Today he presents his Feel Feeling EP, which is the imprint’s fourth release featuring a re-rub from America’s DJ-Vox.
We’re pleased to world premiere the deep-as-hell title track, an edgy sample cut brandishing a crafty groove, smokin’ hot bassline and sweet hi-hat action. Be on the lookout for Glen Brady’s Redeemer EP out July 14 on East Recordings.

Slam‘s Orde Meikle and Stuart McMillan are techno trailblazers. As DJs, producers and proprietors of Soma Recordings, they’ve created groundbreaking, highly influential tracks like “Positive Education,” curated gems including an early version of Daft Punk’s “Da Funk” and have fostered the careers of too many producers to mention. And that’s only a snapshot of their credentials.
On Soma’s Slam Present: Transmissions: Glasgow, the Scottish duo shine the spotlight on like-minded techno artists living in their beloved home city. Glaswegians Clouds, Harvey McKay, Edit Select and Hans Bouffmyhre are but a few of those who contributed tracks to the compendium.
In advance of the release of Transmissions: Glasgow, we’re thrilled to world premiere Gary Beck‘s floor rocker “Tomorrow You’ll Know.” Those who follow techno will know Beck’s star has been on the rise for some time — his brilliant Bring A Friend album is incidentally Soma’s 100th release — thanks to his raw, edgy and evolving sound which epitomizes the essence of the label’s musical wanderlust.
Says Beck of the cut, “This is a track I made a couple of years ago, it’s a very versatile track and can be played at pretty much any point of a set. I still play it to this day and it never seems to sound old. It’s a pleasure to release it on the Transmissions: Glasgow compilation.” Hit the play button below and discover Beck’s timeless effort.
The 15-track Slam present Transmissions: Glasgow compilation is released June 29, 2015.
An explorer of deep and dark sounds, emerging Milan-based DJ/producer Pisetzky‘s modus operandi is about uncovering the euphoria that lies within the shadows of the downbeat. Where the North Star for some of his musical peers is navigating to the short-lived climax, Pisetzky conversely chooses to bring his grooves to a slow, steady boil. It’s this mindset which has helped him evolve from sound designer Fabiano Vallis in the fashion world to becoming ensconced in Milan’s vibrant techno scene.
This month the up-and-comer will release his Off The Map debut EP on pisans Hunter/Game’s Just This imprint, and we’re elated to world premiere Locked Groove’s magical remix of the title track.
The Berlin-via-Antwerp stalwart builds upon the techno-drenched original, expertly infusing the track with a hypnotic, punchy bassline and cracking percussion.
With the term “deep” now commoditized and ubiquitous, hit the play button below and hear how deep is really supposed to sound.

Today is an important day for prolific Dutch DJ/producer Roland Klinkenberg. With over 100 releases to his credit, his new album, Construct, is out on Joris Voorn and Edwin Oosterwal’s Green, a fast-risng imprint who have issued showstoppers from Ripperton, Patrice Baumel and Stimming.
On Construct‘s12 tracks Klinkenbergexplores deep techno to dub, adding in sprinklings of ambient and field recordings. His artistry is informed by 25 years of making music, with this classically-trained artist’s finesse evident on every note.
We’re excited to world premiere “Construct #1” from Construct. The blissful tech-house journey radiates like the sun slowly burning through the clouds after a shower. Calling to mind the ’90s production work of Terry Lee Brown, Jr. and The Timewriter, Klinkenberg draws influence from Chicago and Detroit while investigating his own realm.
Dance music as beautiful and engaging as this doesn’t come along nearly enough these days.
