Sales Note
'Stronger Than Fiction EP' is a result of investigating sounds and information while channeling techno in an oldschool manner. Arising from sheer call and response strength and folded into a no-nonsense, momentum-feeling arrangement approach rather than considered thought. Designed to push things off the rail a bit long after sunset and far from dawn.

A delightful blend of 5 tracks reflecting the years on our 5 year anniversary celebration.

Release Note:
Remco Beekwilder is back on both sides with his 'Moortgat EP' on EMERALD. As infamous as the EP title implies, he's bringing the balance between cold mistily remembered sounds and a heart-warming practical feel. A constant shift in mood and intensity, driven by stark drum programming using the right amount of funk to interact with the opposing fundamentals. All cuts share a lot of DNA with each other and makes you reminisce of simpler times.
