Sequel, the long-awaited debut album from SQL, takes the young Amsterdam artist in a new musical direction. The Prophet 5 synth takes center stage on this lush double LP. "Sequel is about rebirth. It's the culmination of everything I have loved, lost, learned, and experienced in the last ten years as a musician," he says. "This cycle is the only constant factor in my music and my career, and by learning to accept it, I've come to terms with the music I make. This album is a reflection of who I am right now at this moment. It's me, no compromise." Embracing a fresh approach that combines the use of numerous pieces of analog gear and samples of his own field recordings, Sequel represents the new sound of SQL in its purest form. "Antipode" features Hessel Stuut. Black-and-white cover with artwork from Hessel Stuut.

Egbert has skyrocketed to being one of the world's top players in the techno scene. Within a short period of time, he has managed to create a rapidly growing fan base who have all been avidly waiting for him to release an album for some time now. Egbert finally releases Warm on Secret Cinema's Gem Records. His story has been an exciting rollercoaster ride, going from being discovered by Secret Cinema through Myspace, to being picked up by Cocoon and their booking agency and now touring the globe as a part of the Gem and Bonheur agency roster. The album takes you on a trip through Egbert's vision of melodic techno... well-produced and euphoric but without stepping into known territory. In his own words: "One thing I often miss at techno parties is warmth. I would like to bring that back to techno." While his live sets are usually filled with percussion and rhythm, this album compiles the tracks that bring warmth to his set. We also get a taste of Egbert's raw side with the powerful pumping grooves and punishing dark bass lines on "Tegno" and "Shulgin." There's even a new flavor added to the versatile producer's palate with the trippy ambient sounds of "Ondergronds" and "Trip." Download code for mp3 included.

For the past years, Egbert has been remixing, touring and working on his album Warm. After residing at the top of the techno charts for months with his remix of "Watch Me Now" by D-Nox & Beckers, Egbert is finally back with his own EP. This is a very highly-anticipated release and Egbert doesn't disappoint. All three tracks are serious crowd-pleasers, but in their own way. From in-your-face big-room techno through melodic, anthemic tech-house to watermelon ball minimal, this EP has it all.

"When we were putting together 363A everything just fell in to place," Kaap de Goede Hoop's Bobby van Putten says. "We spent an entire evening programming the equipment and tweaking with Robbert van der Bildt (also Kaap De Goede Hoop) John Mood and Eversines in the studio. All we changed afterwards was cutting a piece out to keep the energy up." "Mi Fella" (as in Fela Kuti), was created with Afrobeat in mind. Ramon Tapia contributes a controlled yet equally energetic remix.

The tracks on Secret Cinema's album Minerals are inspired by the hardness, color and material of various minerals. CD1 consists of dancefloor hammering tech-house and techno as we have come to expect from Secret Cinema. With contributions from Ramon Tapia, Egbert, Cosima and m0h, timeless gems are guaranteed. Alongside these floor-friendly tracks are some more abstract jams. All is woven together in a powerful continuous mix on CD (with download voucher for single tracks). The second CD is an ambient mix consisting of the sounds that form the base of the tracks on CD1, mixed with bizarre instruments, tuning forks and other sounds. Dirk-Jan Hanegraaff and Robert Kroos also known as Mental Youth, collaborated with Gem Records-head Jeroen Verheij on this creation. Perfect for relaxation after the party on CD1. Some might say that this is some of the best work from one of The Netherlands' top techno producers of the past 18 years.

Created back in '94 by Secret Cinema, "Timeless Altitude" is truly timeless. If you are into electronic music and live on this planet, there's a 75% chance you'll recognize the weird reversed, reverbed piano riff. Now, remixes by Slam, Egbert and Secret Cinema have made their way onto vinyl. The Secret Cinema remix is a peak-time main room power tool, Slam take a deeper, more subtle approach, and Egbert takes the track to a warmer, funkier level.

One of techno's fastest rising stars brings his strongest EP to date with two huge tracks. "Haasten" (trans. "hurrying") has been destroying crowds during Egbert's live sets around the globe for the past few months. A dark, commanding bass line that skips over the beat is accompanied by a retro-sounding orchestral jab. "Yourself" is paving the way for the future of percussion-based techno with punishing drums, deep basses, narrow mids and rattling hats that kick ass.

Jeroen "Secret Cinema" Verheij launched Gem Records in December of 2009. The label represents the versatile array of sounds that Verheij himself plays in his DJ sets. The first two releases came from Dutch super-talents and Secret Cinema protégés Egbert and Peter Horrevorts. Welcome To My Club, mixed by Secret Cinema, explores the realms of Verheij's club sound and his flavors for the coming season. The package includes Secret Cinema's "Glad Chord" and an exclusive preview of two tracks from the forthcoming EP Haasten by Egbert. The CD kicks off with vintage synth chords from Jamie Lloyd but soon twists in another direction with the sexy G-funk electro-beats of Big Bully. After that, the CD picks up pace and reveals the energy that drives Secret Cinema's sets. With 20 tracks in the collection, this is one of the most action-packed compilations out at the moment, taking the listener on an audible trip beyond stylistic barriers in electronic music. Other artists include: Ahmet Sisman, Steve Parker, Handycraft, DJ Sodeyama, Norm & Jochen Pash, Norman Zube, Andreas Saag, Jewel Kid, Masi & Mello, Christopher Benjamin, Psycatron, So It Is, Marc Marzenit, Cyro, Dirty Disorder, Tim Deluxe, Oculus, Jakiro, Itamar Sagi, Shinsuke Matsumoto, and Kuba Sojka.

"Bloody Hands" has a futuristic sparkle with plenty of funk and loads of interesting effects, characteristic of Peter Horrevorts' productions. The lead and bass line build up tension throughout, climaxing after 5 minutes with some guaranteed hands-in-the-air action. "Nymph" is a funky, deep techno track that slots perfectly into those hypnotizing moments of the night. "Bloody Hands" is remixed by Marc Marzenit into a monster that has a slightly deeper, more progressive flavor than the original, yet maintains its energy.
