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.
Laurent Garnier presents six spicy audio snacks from Danny Parton, Dukwa, ProOne79, Eddie Merced, Marc Romboy and Saytek for the next various artists digital release on COD3 QR, "[QR]D.142.SSAS.26". As the co-founder of Jolene Records, Danny Parton is a true architect of groove. Blending the raw energy of '90s house with the timeless spark of disco-funk, he crafts a sound that is both modern and sophisticated. A master of sampling, he reshapes his influences into unique tracks built for the club. Following "Know Body" for February's "[QR]D.037.TNCM.26", he returns to COD3 QR with the soulful "Poelvoorde". Italian DJ and producer, Dukwa has been making waves for over a decade. His love for machines, classic house and raw experimentation infuses his musical process, which he's brought to Bosconi, Dont Be Afraid, Numbers, Tdsr, Shall Not Fade, his own Dukwa Music and COD3 QR. He now returns to the label with his meticulous, well-oiled productive regime of hardware, sampling and editing on "Empty Slot". Italian based producer ProOne79 (Gioele Cantoni) lives for dance music. Having been exposed and influenced by the sounds of Chicago and Detroit, he has been crafting high-powered and catchy techno and house for labels like Nervous, Circus, Kneaded Pains, Flashmob, WRKTRX. Last year he gave COD3 QR the funky groove of "Lysergic". His new offering is the Acid House stylings of "You Can't Feel Lonely With A 303". Eddie Merced's sound speaks on a universal level. The Connecticut DJ and producer has honed a strain of techno and house that matches driving rhythms with richly melodic machine soul. He established R4808n as a platform for his creative vision, while elsewhere his productions have appeared on Upon.You, MB Elektronics, Circus and Mixx Records. Here, he makes his COD3 QR track debut with the emotional and atmospheric "Send Your Angels". Throughout time artists and genres come and go, sounds evolve and trends recycle, but an artist who has stuck true to his destiny and path is Marc Romboy. From his first self-produced record on Adam & Eve Records, the co-foundation of his first label, Le Petit Prince, his Marc Et Claude, single "La" on Positiva reaching the UK charts and a pivotal performance on the Top Of The Pops with "I Need Your Lovin' (Like The Sunshine)", to releases on Superstition, his own Systematic Recordings, and most recently finding himself on the prolific Awesome Soundwave. It's been some time since he's appeared on COD3 QR (a collaboration with Tamar Halperin in 2022), but "Music Is God" was worth the wait. Over his 20 year career, Saytek has emerged as one of the most revered live acts in the underground techno scene. Hailing from the UK, he has captivated audiences worldwide with his innovative performances, earning a dedicated following and significant acclaim. His mastery has been lauded by techno legends and his live jam videos have garnered 10s of millions of views. In the studio, his prolific output includes over 500 tracks and 10 albums, primarily recorded live, on Awesome Soundwave, KMS, Bedrock, Soma, fabric, R&S and Trax. Now he's back on COD3 QR with the driving techno of "Sh4dub (live)" to close the release. COD3 QR: Music diversity is our strength! www.cod3qr.com
