HEJ is proud to announce the first of many innovative releases by JASON DUNLAP (Chicago) & REESE TURNS (Australia), a musical duo that met, connected, and moved to opposite ends of the earth where they create amazing music together through virtual means. The first single “SMOS” is remixed here by BRYAN ZENTZ (Plus 8, Disruptor, Morris Audio). The original track begins with an infectious rhythm that is pieced together like a collage of movement. The hypnotic atmospheric tones and voices create depth and deliver you right into the funky synth bass melody. Later they come back, guiding you to the next part of the track where it jams out again before winding down into drifting spatial soundscapes. BRYAN ZENTZ Cascadian séance remix is the perfect complement to the original tune. He works his magic with the main synth line adding layers of tones and a thick bass that makes it drive. The low end pulses in the breakdown, massaging you for the immense drop that follows completely destroying the dance floor.

Hej Records welcomes two new artists to the growing techno family, STEVE PARKER (Autist, Attary) and KYLE GEIGER (Drumcode, Droid Recordings). STEVE PARKER’s “Crawling” lives up to its name, leading off with a hypnotic, haunting soundscape that builds and grows in depth. Drums pitter patter over the chugging kick as the panning, hissing crawl creeps in over the bass creating infectious movement and captivating the listener. KYLE GEIGER’s mix takes the atmospheric madness from the original and warps it even further with cunning effects that stretch and contort the waves.
