We have received the first feedback on GEM002 and we’re more than excited! It will be kept up to date below:

Stephan Bodzin – “The original could be one of the best techno tracks i heard lately. Inspiring! Respect. FULL FULL support. 6/5.”

Paul Ritch – “Full Support for Nymph, and Marzenit remix is huge for me!”

Marco Carola – “Nymph is a good track ”

Joel Mull – “What a strong package. Great stuff. My favourite is Nymph (edit) But the two other tunes are BIG!!! Will play them all. Big up GEM records.”

Christian Smith – ” I will hammer this one for sure! Awesome! Groovy, fat, and dirty! Just my style! The remix is a big fat progressive monster!!!! I will play both!”

Gem is proud to present Peter Horrevorts’ ‘Bloody Hands EP’ to be released in Febuary of 2010! The title track (Bloody Hands) has a unique futuristic sparkle with plenty of funk and loads of interesting effects, characteristic of Horrevorts’ productions. The lead and bassline build up tension throughout the track, subtly climaxing after 5 minutes with some guaranteed hands in the air action!

On the B-side we find ‘Nymph’. This funking deep techey track will slot perfectly into many a DJ set during those hypnotizing moments. Quality production! The B2 is by Marc Marzenit who captured the subtlety of ‘Bloody Hands’ perfectly with his ‘Monster Remix’. This monster has a slightly deeper, more progressive flavor than the original yet maintaining its energy.

One impressive release from two of today’s most promising producers!

Karotte playing ‘Egbert – Vreugdevuur’ (To be released this month on Cocoon)

Egbert live @ Secret Cinema Invites 25-09-2009

Cocoon on Egbert
‘Egbert Van Der Gugten is currently one of the most promising talents within the field of electronic dance music. Jeroen Verheji alias Secret Cinema, whose attention was drawn to Egbert via myspace.com, invited him on the spur of the moment to his parties and his studio last year, and thus smoothed the way for Egbert to the Dutch Techno scene. After his debut on Lo-Fi Stereo, it was mainly his “Vlammen-EP” on Michel de Hey’s EC Records in February 2009, which went down a bomb on the dancefloors and belonged to the basic vinyl inventory of Sven Väth’s record case in this season. With “Vreugdevuur”, Egbert still tops this and provides us with a musical exclamation mark that sets standards in harmonic but consequently demanding TechHouse somewhere in between Dub, Progressive House and Detroit. The subsonic bass around the central organ motif will be your companion in between dreaming and dancing in this late autumn, promised! A different sound approach is taken by the flipside “Groots Uitpakken” with its tremendously energetic wall of sound, a nocturnal trip through slow-motion vocal tatters, whose string breaks provide it with an irresistible pull.’

GEM001 will be Egbert’s “Dezelfde weg EP” (sneak preview below). Secret Cinema has been dropping it regularly and the crowd response has been amazing! Side A is a hypnotic melody driven techno slammer titled “Dezelfde weg”. On the flipside is a deeper darker track called ‘Vette Sounds’ with creepy yet commanding synths over a pounding bassline driven groove. This track has also received the Secret Cinema remix treatment to brilliant effect!

Release date: December 2009
