released November 1, 2024

CLARK DAVIS
1998 he bought his first record player. Ten years later, his first solo production was released on fach05 -VA – Treacle. In between he became an active member of the techno scene by organizing thrilling off-location parties and starting his career as a DJ. For him, diversification was always very important. Whereas other DJs just play four-to-the-floor sounds, he combines plenty of genres. His music style can be described as a conglomerate of Detroit, House, Techno and Chill Out – as DJ as well as producer. After his debut, several more releases followed on labels like AFFIN , 3rdWAVEMUSIC , Connect FOUR Recordings, and WALL Music.
In 2017, the Hamburg-based and multi-talented techno artist founded his own label District 66 together with an old school friend and he later released on Snork Enterprises.

STEVE STOLL
Producing pure, minimalist analogue-minded techno in the vein of early Plastikman and Joey Beltram (even though his career began as a drummer with the industrial label Wax Trax), Steve Stoll has recorded for Nova Mute, Probe, DJax, Delirium, Synewave and his own Proper NYC label. Raised in Brooklyn, Stoll listened to hip-hop and disco as a child, then joined the Army straight out of high-school. He served for five years, including a period in the Gulf War when he plotted bomb runs by satellite. After being released, Stoll shifted around: he played drums for the industrial group Sister Machine Gun, studied jazz and began recording straight-edged techno for Big Apple labels like 212 Productions and Damon Wild's Synewave.

Stoll debuted for Sm:)e Recordings with the 1995 album Pacemaker. The following year brought another album, Zero Divide (recorded as the Operator) and an EP for Nova Mute (as the Blunted Boy Wonder). After he reverted back to Steve Stoll, Damn Analog Technology followed in 1997 and The Blunted Boy Wonder one year later. He stopped because of parenthood but now picked up the gear again.

ROSEEN
Hailing from Berlin, Roseen stands as both a DJ and a prolific producer. His journey into the realm of electronic music began in the early nineties, and from those early days, he's been spellbound by the pulsating rhythms of American techno, particularly the sounds echoing from the streets of Detroit. Yet, his musical compass doesn't merely point to one city; it's an amalgamation of Berlin, New York, Birmingham, and Brighton that shape his sonic landscape. These diverse influences converge in his productions and DJ sets, crafting a unique sonic tapestry that defies convention. As a producer, DJ, label co-owner, and one-half of the enigmatic duo Ausgang, Roseen operates in the shadows, quietly carving his path in the underground. His releases are a testament to the raw, unadulterated essence of techno - a genre he believes should maintain its purity. There's a certain naivety intrinsic to his music, a purity that emanates from spontaneous and sketchy moments, creating an unmistakable vibrancy. Many attempt to replicate this spirit, but few succeed. For Roseen, that's the artistry of making music. It's something that, if you listen closely, you can discern in both his productions and his mesmerizing DJ sets.
