Special remarks: After two years of colaborations and remixes, Secret Cinema is finally back with a solo EP. We think it has been worth the wait. Artwork in charcoal and paint by Everything Is Visible.

Tracklist:
A1 Séance
B1 Ex-Drummer
B2 Séance (Voc-less)

Shortinfo:
After two years of releasing collaborations and remixes, Jeroen 'Secret Cinema' Verheij returns with a solo EP. The Amsterdam based techno producer has never been one to copy others with many timeless classics to his name. He pushes himself to write music that sounds different while at the same time appealing to the often large crowds he plays for. After two years of searching, the peaces fell into place. With Séance EP Verheij has ushered in a new creative era for himself.

Séance EP is trippy, complex, strange and powerful. Secret Cinema proves once again that he is one of those artists who really knows how to bring machines to life.

Shortinfo:
"Sequel is about rebirth. It's the culmination of everything I have loved, lost, learned and experienced in the last 10 years as a musician," he says. "This cycle is the only constant factor in my music and my career, and by learning to accept it, I've come to terms with the music I make. This album is a reflection of who I am right now at this moment. It's me, no compromise."

Embracing a fresh approach that combines the use of numerous pieces of analogue gear and recording his own samples in the field, the album represents the new sound of SQL in its purest form.

Vital Sales Points:
Bloody great album with beautiful artwork. The one and only Ro Sakhardande of Jukebox rocking the PR with many articles about the album confirmed. Must-have album for summer 2017.

Egbert has been dazzling us with the speed at which he seems to have skyrocketed to being one of the world's top players in the techno scene. Within a short period of time he has managed to create a rapidly growing fan base who have all been avidly waiting for him to release an album for some time now. Come end of October, Egbert will finally be releasing 'Warm' on Secret Cinema's Gem Records! His story has been an exciting rollercoaster ride going from being discovered by Secret Cinema through Myspace, to being picked up by Cocoon and their booking agency and now touring the globe as a part of the Gem and Bonheur agency roster. September 20th, Egbert will be playing a sold out, astonishing 6 hour solo live set in Melkweg Amsterdam to kick off his album promotion tour. The album takes you on a trip through Egbert's vision of melodic techno. Well produced and euphoric but without stepping in to known territory. In his own words: 'One thing I often miss at techno parties is warmth. I would like to bring that back to techno'. While his live sets are usually filled with percussion and rhythm, this album compiles the tracks that bring warmth to his set. We also get a taste of Egbert's raw side with the powerful pumping grooves and punishing dark basslines on 'Tegno' and 'Shulgin'. There's even a new flavour added to the versatile producer's palate with the trippy ambient sounds of 'Ondergronds' and 'Trip'.

UPC: 827170496361 Release : May 6th 2013
Tracklist EP: A1. Kaap De Goede Hoop ft. John Mood & Eversines - 363A B1. Kaap De Goede Hoop - Mi Fella B2. Kaap De Goede Hoop - Mi Fella (Ramon Tapia Remix)
After a two year stop we decided there could be no better EP for Gem Records to return to pressing vinyl than this analogue tape recorded Kaap De Goede Hoop jam. "When we were putting together 363A everything just fell in to place" Kaap de Goede Hoop's Bobby van Putten says. "We spent an entire evening programming the equipment and tweaking with Robbert van der Bildt (also Kaap De Goede Hoop) John Mood and Eversines in the studio. After that we just hit record and started playing. Originally the track was close to 13 minutes long. All we changed afterwards was cutting a piece out to keep the energy up during the track. Everything else was spontaneous!". Mi Fella (as in Fela Kuti), was created with afrobeat in mind. The deep subby bass line rattling hats and high pitched chanting combined with echoey guitar sounds make for an amazing combination and a an absolutely unique track. Ramon Tapia complements the release with his more controlled yet equally energetic clean but rough sounding remix!

The tracks on Secret Cinema's new album Minerals, are inspired by the hardness, color and material of various minerals. CD1 consists of dance floor hammering tech-house and techno as we have come to expect from Secret Cinema. With contributions from Ramon Tapia, Egbert and m0h, timeless gems are guaranteed once again! Alongside these floor friendly tracks are some more abstract jams. All is woven together in a powerful continuous mix on CD (with download voucher for single tracks) and all tracks are available separately on vinyl and download.
The Second CD is an ambient mix consisting of the sounds that form the base of the tracks on CD1, mixed with bizarre instruments, tuning forks and other sounds. Dirk-Jan Hanegraaff and Robert Kroos also known as Mental Youth, collaborated with Verheij on this creation. Perfect for relaxation after the party on CD1. Some say this could be some of the best work from one of the Netherland's top techno producers of the past 18 years!

Jeroen Verheij has been churning out dance floor smashing tracks for almost as long as many of today's clubbers can remember under his aliases Secret Cinema, Grooveyard and Meng Syndicate to name a few. Tracks like Timeless Altitude, Mary Go Wild (EC Records) and Kurzweil (Cocoon) invoke warm memories in many of us. In December of 2009 Verheij set up his own label 'Gem Records' and started to release the unique sound he is famous for as a DJ. Now, just over a year later, Gem releases its first full album! This EP is the first preview from it! The tracks on Secret Cinema's 'Minerals', are inspired by the hardness, color and material of various minerals.

GEM010 features Ramon Tapia's own production 'Pelican' and 'Opal' in collaboration with Secret Cinema. The EP is completed by Belgian golden boy Steve Slight. A tasty 3 tracker! Ramon Tapia's solo track 'Pelican' on the X-side is a tribal tech house hammer that will go down a guaranteed killer on the floor. This is some seriously bangin' shit, people! On the Y1, Secret Cinema and Ramon team up to create a euphoric techey piece of work. On this jam, simplicity is its beauty. These two make for a great production duo! The Y2 comes from rising star Steve Slight who was introduced to us by Ramon as being one of Belgium's hottest producers at the moment. The first track we snatched up is 'Who Knows'. This is the most explosive one on the EP. A well balanced smooth yet energetic and raw techno track. Keep an ear out for this guy!

Created back in '94 by Secret Cinema, no one could have predicted how timeless this track would turn out to be! If you are in to electronic music and live on this planet, there's a 75 percent chance you'll recognise the weird reversed, reverbed piano riff! Now, for the first time, the original is available digitally with remixes by Slam, Egbert and Secret Cinema himself that made their way to vinyl as well. The massive techno tune from '94 is ready for a little update! It can be a challenge to remix a track with so much history, but all three managed to complement the original while giving a unique spin to the track. The Secret Cinema 2011 remix is a peak time main room power tool that will turn a big crowd into a riot any day. Slam take a deeper, more subtle approach that can hypnotize and rock a main room crowd without blowing their wigs off. Finally Egbert takes the track to a warmer funkier level, equipped with a funk-filled bass line and some warm pads over the top. A truly timeless package!!

A1 Secret Cinema and Egbert - Bier A2 Peter Horrevorts & Dosem - Truetone B1 Roger Martinez - Jack This B2 Arjuna Schiks - Mahesvari
Gem Records Summer Sampler 1.0 showcases six festival and beach friendly gems that are essential this coming season. The Sampler includes tracks from Secret Cinema & Egbert, Peter Horrevorts & Dosem, Roger Martinez and Arjuna Schiks on vinyl and two digital only tracks from Kaap De Goede Hoop and Lemontrip.
A1 Secret Cinema & Egbert - Bier
Bier is an upfront melodic big room stomper with a big fat synth bouncing over the beat that gives the track its most defining feature. It has proven itself to be a huge crowd pleaser in Secret Cinema's and Egbert's sets. The title 'Bier' (beer) refers to the track's positive effect on drunk people A2 Peter Horrevorts & Dosem - Truetone
This collaboration with Peter is Dosem's first contribution to the label; A meaty electronic tech-houser. The kick and bass line form a solid train on which hats, percussion and melody comfortably ride along. Try and stop your ass from moving to this one!
B1 Roger Martinez - Jack This
Martinez also brings tech house to the Summer Sampler, but with an analogue feel. The rhythm provides plenty of funk, accompanying some nicely filtered synths and warm keys. There's a lot of energy bottled up in this one, making it useful either to funk up a techno set or to beef up a house set.
B2 Arjuna Schiks - Mahesvari
Mahesvari really gets the summer vibe going on the EP with a beautifully composed harp melody over the top of a lazy bassline and a calm beat. Nevertheless this track will be sure to bring more energy, love, peace and happiness to a dance floor than your average hit of ecstasy!
