Omen Recordings introduces another new artist for their twelfth release, welcoming JGarrett from Vancouver, Canada, who contributes three original tracks to this Techno EP. The label is also pleased to feature such a talented list of international remixing artists to this release: Los Angelesā own Drumcell, Italian producer Irregular Synth, and Sebastian Bayne from Australia.
Vancouver-based producer and performing artistĀ JGarrett has been heavily involved in the techno scene for nearly twenty-five years now. In 2012 he started the Subspec Music imprint which became a home for many of his productions along with labels such as Perc Trax, Gobsmacked, Decoy and Dirty Minds.
JGarrettās heavy hitting, industrial productions have picked up support from techno giants such as Dax J, Dave Clarke, Electric Indigo, Mark Broom and Kyle Geiger, in addition to gaining him sets all over North America. Leverage sees JGarrett return to SubSensory for his latest EP on the imprint following the likes of Sergio Vilas, Dmux and label owner JAK.
āUnsupported Fulcrumā gets things rolling with roaring modulations, shimmering kicks and energetic grooves before āLeverageā offers up stabbing melodies, driving synth swells and tantalising tones. Partisan, the new moniker of Mick Finucan, who has releases on ARTS, Decoy and Subspec, provides an uncompromising techno remix of āLeverageā through shaky drums, haunting oscillations and popping swirls.
For this week’s Global Vibe Radio episode we look no further than one of our own nights here in LA dated January 5th, 2019, when we hosted I Hate Models, JGarrett and Tap Newo.
