Deep, moody, yet powerful techno from the Reclusive Perfectionist. Myles come up with two deeper, slower, moodier minimalistic tracks, venturing in more house territory: “Red Eye to Bogota” and “When I Meet God”. Both tracks go over 10 minutes during which Myles slowly tweaks the rhythmic elements, basslines and chords for your aural pleasure. Myles also delivers a more stripped-down uptempo techno track that we love him for, “TransMilenio”: its full on repetitive bassline should for sure inflict some dancefloor damage.

Myk then goes in more minimal territory with Omage and See, both tracks making use of nice background repetitive voices, heavy basslines and dubby synths that remind you of late nights in Berlin. The E.P. ends up with with Synda, a peak time atmospheric dub experience that will not leave you indifferent.

“For our second release, I am very glad to welcome on board Myk Derill! Myk comes from Berlin, Germany. He already has several releases under his belt.
He creates a very dark techno, without any concessions, influenced by the current sounds of the techno underground I love. Myk Derill is a dj/ producer from Berlin , already well immersed in the german techno scene. As a big techno activist, he is the label owner of Glare records and regularly plays in several clubs and parties in Berlin. From the beginning , Myk Derill has developed a passion for the Detroit techno sound, particularly for the dub style of this sound. His inspiring influences are Mike Dehnert, Jeff Mills or even Ben klock. He started mixing in 1995 and nine years later began production. In 2006, he released his first EP "Meileinweit" on 2 sides records, which was a real success. Since then, he has worked with national and international artists as a remixer and producer and has also released many EP’s on several labels.”

Knotweed Records is a new label launched out of Chamonix, France, by Belgian DJ and producer Philippe Petit. Philippe Petit has been around the dance music scene for a good 20 years. When he was not playing in his thrash metal bands, he was going out but did not like the music he was hearing. That is when he started DJing. Very eclectic in the beginning, he quickly veered towards funk, hip hop and acid jazz in the early nineties, playing for Guru, Ronnie Jordan, Galliano, the Goats, Palm Skin Productions etc. In 1995, he moved to London. Having to stop his sweaty metal activities, he needed to find another way to release all his extra energy, this time on his own. That is the reason why slowly but surely he started to incorporate more and more techno into his DJ sets. By 1997, it was only techno that was coming out of his needles. Having no time to start producing tracks, he focused mainly on playing gigs across London, as well as the one-off gigs in Belgium, France, Italy and Spain, mixing deep house and techno, always with a funk twist. By 2000, he was sharing his time between Chamonix and London, where he became a regular at Cantina Club and at Soulfood. Two years ago he moved permanently to Chamonix where he now spends 100% of his time focusing on making music. After one year of trial, he comes with this first release. As Philippe is composing music mainly when the weather grounds him at home, the dark atmosphere of the steep-sided mountain environment can be felt in all tracks of this release. The sound is techno at its best, Detroit influenced, hypnotic, dubby, but always with a funk element incorporated in the tracks. The key here is energy and groove
