ETK026

Brighton based Elektek Recordings are set to release their latest EP from label owner D’Funk with a host of excellent remixes....

Elektek Recordings having been releasing consistently quality house and techno over the last couple of years gaining support from A-list Djs such as Stacey Pullen, Richie Hawtin, Laurent Garnier & Dubfire. The Manchester born and now Brighton based imprint has a roster of artists who remain faithful to the label and it’s vision and none more so (not surprisingly) than label owner D’Funk. Following up his recent well received ‘It Happens Remixes EP’ from last years 'Times Ahead EP' he now returns with the rolling techno of ‘Stranger’.

D’Funk began his musical career in Spain originally, where he honed his DJ skills through the early noughties before moving back to the UK in 2005 to focus on studying music production and developing his studio skills. Since the launch of his label Elektek Recordings and Elektek LIVE club nights in 2007, he has been building momentum ever since.

This latest release kicks off with the original of ‘Stranger’, a deep, brooding slice of techno with a twisted, intense edge. The track is build round an undulating bassline, tight percussion and dark, discordant sythn lines and is bound to find favour with techno and tech house DJs alike.

There are 4 remixes on offer kicking off with Nikkolas Research’s reinterpretation, which takes things into the realms of dark and tense techno in superb style. Next comes Chris Firenze’s version that strips things back and provides a bumpin and jackin mix that has a superb old school techno flavour, simple, uncluttered and deadly effective. The penultimate remix comes from veteran DJ/producer Laurie Laptop who has been on the scene since the late 80’s, here he distils his experience into a hypnotic and atmospheric mix that provides an entrancing alternative to the original. Finally we have PJC Project & Gaz Donning who pull out all the stops with their techno/house fusion mix that is certain have the floor moving wherever it is dropped.

‘Stranger’ is a great single with a broad remix package that perfectly reflects this exciting labels musical ethos, enjoy!
