Dutch producer Daniël Jacques will launch a new label called Jadac Recordings in December.
Most people will know the Amsterdam artist for “End Of My World,” released last year on Mistress Recordings and labelled as one of RA’s top tracks of 2014. Jadac will only release Jacques’ music, starting with “Discovery Change (Part 3),” the first EP in a tetralogy vinyl series that will continue into 2016. All the tracks on the release were produced between 2005 and 2015. Listen to the A1, “Slaves Of Rhythm,” below, and if you like what you hear, download it for free.
JR-001 is scheduled for December 11 release, with JR-002, 003 and 004s scheduled for early next year.

Spanish producer Juan Rico (a.k.a. Reeko) will follow up his 2015 release La Metamorfosis—released via Mental Disorder and inspired by Franz Kafka’s novel—with Amour, a new LP under his Architectural moniker.
Highly detailed and cinematic in its approach, Amour is a beautifully towering album that ebbs and flows from dense ambient excursions through to hard-hitting techno structures. Within its eight tracks, Rico has created a monolithic sonic realm filled with futuristic synth textures, thumping machine-driven rhythms, and soaring choral backdrops, all wound together with surgical precision.
To find out more, XLR8R fired a few questions to label head Darko Esser (a.k.a. Tripeo) and Rico, who also offered a full stream of the album. Full story.
The Spanish producer’s latest full length lands on Wolfskuil Records today.
Raving George no more, the Brussels based DJ has switched things up slightly, re-naming herself as Charlotte de Witte. Her first release under her name,Weltschmerz, will be released on Tiga’s Turbo Recordings. Without digging too deep into the inequalities of the music industry, Charlotte initially chose the name ‘Raving George’ at a younger age, when she wanted to play dark techno in clubs but was all too aware of the ever-dominant ‘boys club’. In her own words.
Regardless of alias, name or gender, Weltschmerz is a piece of interstellar techno that starts off with twinkling overtones, before dusting them off to delve deeper into its dark techno foundations. A chugger of a track, it’s no-time-to-breathe techno for all-night partying.
Weltschmerz is set for release on Turbo Recordings in December.
Slamming stuff from the man like Tripeo, making his first foray into Boiler Room terrain. Undaunted by the afternoon light, he proceeded to put our stage through a serious work out.

Swedish producer Sebastian Mullaert delivers a hypnotic segment of a recent live set for this week’s XLR8R podcast.
Reflecting on the events of the past year, Mullaert sent across a one-and-a-half hour segment of a four-hour live set that he played at The Block, Israel earlier this summer. This is what Mullaert said about his live set.
Mullaert’s new release on Green is dropping in a few weeks’ time.
After a seven year hiatus, Amsterdam-based producer Daniël Jacques made a come back last year on DVS1’s Mistress Recordings in 2014 with his Livet Efter Detta EP. A year later, he has founded his own label: Jadac Recordings.
The label will be an outlet for his own music productions and its debut release, entitled Discovery Change (Part 3), is the first part of a tetralogy vinyl project. When putting the four separate covers of the releases together, it will depict one large image of a very important person in his life. All songs of the project have been created between 2005 and 2015 and the music will be pressed on 180 grams vinyl (12″). JR-001 is scheduled for December 11 release, with JR-002, 003 and 004s scheduled for early next year.
To celebrate we have an exclusive mix from the man himself pulling some of his favourite tracks, and a few exclusives of some upcoming releases.
