Laurent Garnier presents a COD3 QR family reunion for the next digital release, featuring new tracks by Works Of Intent, Jules Wells, Marco Bailey, Madben, Lois (fr), Kmyle and Electric Rescue (with ABD Al Malik feat. Gaspar Claus) who will also be dropping an artist album on COD3 QR later this year. The made in England mix-engineer-designer-essayist, activist and project manager of DAYTIMERS, Works Of Intent's productions are rooted in the UK underground but dripping in techno and pop sensibilities. He's found a home on labels like Monkeytown, Turbo, Rekids and COD3 QR. He gets the ball rolling here with the deep and atmospheric builder, "Black Ribbon". Influenced by the Motor City, Jules Wells has released on several respected Detroit labels like Electrofunk, Submerge, Twilight 76, KMS and Planet E, but also on the likes of Brique Rouge, Purebox and Logos. Most notably his track "Song4Clara" on KMS, which inspired Laurent Garnier's "Enchante". He now returns to COD3 QR with the grooving "Hey!!". A luminary figure in global techno, Belgian DJ, producer and label owner (Materia, MB Elektronics, Elektronik Zoo Sounds, Fundaments Ltd), Marco Bailey boasts a career that has spanned over three decades. Beginning in the early '90s, his tracks have also appeared on the likes of Intec, Bedrock and Cocoon. Now he delivers the dark, breaks-led "Dust on my Soul". Born in the North of France, Madben has retained a taste for DIY culture and a nickname that comes direct from the warehouse. The Lille resident has been "living" techno since his emergence in the scene, going on to release on labels like Astropolis Records, Ellum Audio, Skryptom, Obscura, Mobilee, EPM Music and COD3 QR. On "Antigravity" he brings some subterranean Electro-tech to the release. Lois (FR), who has also produced under the name Lois Plugged, is a sound engineer (Intelligent Design), label owner (Wefine) and music producer who has released on labels including Trax, Boxon, Wefine, BombStrikes, Sony and COD3 QR, becoming one of the key players in the Bordeaux electronic scene. The epic and textural "Danza" is his latest contribution to COD3 QR. Kmyle is synonymous with boundless audible exploration who seamlessly blends magnetic techno, hypnotic rhythms and ethereal melodies like his new COD3 QR offering "Attrape-reves". Other labels such as Soma, Mord and Skryptom have placed their unwavering trust in his musical prowess, and in 2020 he launched his own Kmyle Records. French producer, DJ and live artist, Electric Rescue is world renowned. His productions have been signed on labels like Cocoon, Virgo, Arts, F Communications, COD3 QR, Soma, Sci + Tec, Boys Noize and his own Skryptom. Here he teams up with French rapper and spoken word artist, ABD Al Malik (from N.A.P.) and cellist, Gaspar Claus for "les demons periodiques", the first track taken from his forthcoming artist album, due for release on COD3 QR in October.
SoundFocus continues its steady rise with the sixth release on the label, as Acrobat returns with a new single titled 'We Danced.' Rooted in the emotional core of the dancefloor, the track captures that timeless moment when music, movement, and connection become one. Blending melodic house and indie dance elements, 'We Danced' unfolds with warm grooves, uplifting melodies, and a driving rhythm designed to keep bodies moving from sunset into late night. It's a track built with intention - equally suited for open-air settings and intimate club spaces, where the focus is simple: to dance. On remix duties, Stil & Bense deliver a refined reinterpretation, adding depth and texture while pushing the track further into the indie dance spectrum. Their version leans into hypnotic basslines and nuanced melodic layers, offering a fresh perspective while preserving the spirit of the original. With 'We Danced,' Acrobat once again reinforces the SoundFocus vision - music made for real dancefloors, real moments, and lasting memories.
Jerome Isma-Ae steps in with a new take on Begin Again, the Dennis Sheperd x Ayandra collaboration first introduced on The Next Generation. His remix keeps the emotional core intact while shifting the track into a more driving, progressive frame, giving this album standout a fresh sense of weight and motion.
