Following the release of Electric Rescue’s new album, “Different Horizons”, Laurent Garnier’s COD3 QR returns to its signature various artists format for a new vinyl-only release featuring six new tracks, by WheelUP, Rapson & Kathy Brown, Mirko Loko, Costello, Jules Wells, Rod20 and James Warburton.
WheelUP is West London producer and DJ Danny Wheeler who’s released music on CoOperation Records, Jamz Supernova’s Future Bounce and his long-time home Tru Thoughts. After appearing on COD3 QR in July with a track alongside Blu James, he now teams up with regular collaborator, music producer, DJ and keys player, Rapson, alongside acclaimed US vocalist Kathy Brown for the intensely soulful “Music”.
Mirko Loko is a prominent Swiss talent, known for his work as resident DJ at Couleur 3 and Loft Electroclub, artistic director of Polaris festival and releases on Planet E, Border Community, Cocoon and Visionquest returns once again to COD3 QR with the Detroit-influenced “Silent Failure”.
French electronic DJ and music producer, Costello returns for his sixth track on COD3 QR, having also released on Solomun’s Diynamic, Chloé’s Lumière Noire and most recently Maceo Plex’s Ellum Audio. His bright Techno groover, “Cocotte” closes the A-side.
Another COD3 QR regular, Jules Wells opens the B-side. Influenced by the Motor City, Jules has released on labels like Electrofunk, Submerge, Twilight 76, KMS, Planet E, Brique Rouge and Logos. Here, he takes the EP into atmospheric territory with “The Rooster”.
Benny Rodrigues has previously delivered tracks for COD3 QR as The Lost Souldancer. But now he reprises his Rod20 alias with “Stars Of Bethlehem”. Rod20 is the dedicated hardware-only techno project he began in 2020, which prior to its standalone vinyl imprint, launched with a self-released compilation, followed by a dual-part album on Jeff Mills’ legendary Axis Records.
To close the EP is the experimental ambient work of “You Are Carried On Waves Of Endless Love” by James Warburton. James is a composer and multi-instrumentalist from a background of experimental bands and live performance leading to showcases at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, plays on BBC Radio 1 and 6 Music and his work’s been widely-licensed for international TV and Film from Netflix’s Squid Games to HBO’s Succession.
