Behind the House : Release Notes

This digital only release on Laurent Garnier’s COD3 QR is accompanied by a vinyl release dropping concurrently, with each format featuring a different track by K’ Alexi Shelby, Voltaire, Finder, The Lost Souldancer, Squal G and Electric Rescue it’s double trouble or nothing! K’ Alexi Shelby is a prominent figure in electronic music with a career spanning decades. The cultivation of his massive music catalogue has overflowed into albums and the three labels he heads. It’s also led to legendary collaborations with artists like The Pet Shop Boys, Robert Owens, Kenny Dixon, Roy Davis Jr., Joe Smooth, Steve Silke Hurley, Tyree Cooper, Ron Trent, Glenn Underground, Larry Heard, DJ Pierre, Carl Craig, Felix da Housecat, Marshall Jefferson and more. He makes a welcome return to COD3 QR with the soulful Latin-jazz house of opening track, “Jack Jazz”. Voltaire has built his career through passion and a perfectionist approach to music, creating a richly emotional eclecticism, with inspiration from the pioneers of Detroit to the glorious electro decades of the 2000s and 2010s. Today he’s a COD3 QR regular and released his debut album, “Echoes” on the label last year. Here he delivers the heartfelt and uplifting “Days of Hope”. Benny Rodrigues a.k.a. ROD’s other moniker, The Lost Souldancer has already seen him drop “No More Voices” and “Life and Death” for the label. In his own words, Benny says: “The Lost Souldancer is about coping with the loss of what once was. Finding comfort in the invisible rather than what can be seen. Disconnect to connect in order to be loved rather than liked.” He returns with the deep yet shining “Memories of Maastricht”. Producer and manager of Slates Records, Squal G is a French artist who has been passionate about electronic music since the ’90s. Initially a DJ, he soon turned to machines and computers. This enabled him to progress with his production and remixes. He never tries to stick to a single style, which, depending on his inspiration, can lead him to be more or less hard, while remaining in the spirit of techno. A popular COD3 QR regular, he’s back with the dark sci-fi infused techno of “Close Encounter”. French producer, DJ and live artist, Electric Rescue is world renowned. His productions have been signed on labels like Cocoon, Virgo, Arts, F Communications, COD3 QR, Soma, Sci + Tec, Boys Noize and his own Skryptom. Ahead of his forthcoming artist album (to be released on COD3 QR in October) he delivers the bright and shiny techno of “Stellar Ship”. Finder is the alias of Radial (Jeroen Liebregts), originally from The Netherlands but today residing in Spain. He started mixing records around ’98 and in 2002 teamed up with Bas Mooy to started the now legendary label, Audio Assault. He’s also released on Token, Perc Trax, Mote-Evolver, Numb, Drumcode, Planet Rhythm, Mord, Will & Ink and MDR, alongside his label, Radial Records. He close the digital EP with the meditative beats and melodic groove of “Spin City”.
