Press Release

“Ed Rush & Nico’s ‘Defect’ was originally released in 1996 on the No U Turn label as the flipside to ‘Mothership’ and featured on the classic ‘Torque’ compilation album. No U Turn not only influenced a generation of drum & bass producers but the label’s sound also resonated with techno producers around the world and that influence can still be heard today.

First up is Belgium’s Peter Van Hoesen. Peter’s rise up the techno ranks has been unstoppable since the 2008 launch of his much-respected Time To Express label. Peter’s mix is everything you would expect from his current style, a bass-driven, dubbed-out excursion that retains the paranoid atmosphere of No U Turn yet melds it with his own bleeding-edge techno sound.
Perc is currently receiving a lot of attention thanks to his ‘Mathlete EP’ on Josh Wink’s Ovum imprint picking up huge support from the terraces of Ibiza to the basements of Berlin. From a typically percussive beginning snippets of Defect’s pad and drone sounds are introduced until the mix hits a breakdown to match Perc’s biggest tracks including ‘Up’ and his remix of DJ Hell’s ‘ Buttersaure’.
Support already from Luciano, Luke Slater, Damian Lazarus, Mauro Picotto, Chris Liebing, Josh Wink, Paco Osuna, Phil Kieran, Dustin Zahn, Gel Abril, Damon Wild, Deetron, Technasia, DJ Hell, Laurent Garnier, Danny Tenaglia and many more”
