“Alien Biosymmetry” starts off proceedings with thrashing percussion and enchanted vocal snippets the lead to the euphoria of the main breakdown, before the throbbing acid-line and kick drum lift things up a gear to devastating effect.
Next up “Breaking Silence” has a brooding tension that swells up from the low-end frequencies of the bassline. Squelching stabs and analogue pops give driving force to the fast-flowing rhythms that reach critical mass with an explosion of relentless energy.

Carl Cox is an industry figurehead who’s legacy in music includes his iconic label Intec, which he runs with friend and business partner Jon Rundell, and the new release is the debut collaboration EP from Italian artist Giovanni Carozza, plus Dutch techno maestro Steve Mulder.

It’s rare for a label with a roster of artists like Intec’s to release two EP’s from a new talent in the space of a year, but Luca De–Santo is making his second solo EP on Carl Cox and Jon Rundell’s label in only six months.
Intec in recent months championed a number of relatively new talents such as Brennen Grey, Carl Bee, Frazier and Rudosa. Each of whom have made their debut on the label in 2018, but out of all its rising stars, it seems Luca De–Santo’s light is shining brightest.
Jon Rundell makes his return to Octopus with an hefty, high energy techno two-track EP titled “Reality”.
Hot on the heels of his Time Warp debut, “Reality” is Rundell’s second release on the Barcelona-based Octopus imprint and it is bound to excite people.
The EP’s two tracks consist of the title track makes no pretensions on turning up the dance floor heat, with beats described as “insistent, demanding…to keep clubbers going til dawn. There is also “Shadows” which has a darker mood that is “still pounding out the imperative to dance and keep dancing with its discordant dirty rhythms.”
Jon Rundell‘s new release “Poetry” marks a controversial new direction for the British producer, DJ and label owner, as he seeks to challenging the status quo by giving away his music and the individual parts to them for free.
The moves is complete counter-current to the way the industry has been operating for years. Rundell has decided enough is enough. Increasingly frustrated with the underground music industry’s general resistance to change across the board, he’s decided to ditch the traditional DJ-only focused way of releasing music for multi-platform streaming, ensuring free to listen (in both senses) access to his tracks and even encouraging remixing in fans’ bedrooms across the world by releasing individual parts to this new track.
How? Rundell has decided to revive his own ETCH label to release a brand new single entitle “Poetry,” the first of a series that will see the label churn out tracks that will go straight to Soundcloud, Spotify and Youtube. Each track will be available for free download on SoundCloud, with its parts also available for download to make it easier for aspiring & professional producers to remix it or do whatever they want with them. Eventually, Rundell plans to keep an eye open for anything that may stand out to him from the result of his project and, if appropriate, release it in the same way on the label.
Rundell has been around for years, and this is in a way how he has decided to give back to the younger demographic of dance music fans that he knows have been coming out to party and dance to his music.
6AM caught up with the producer to get more details about the project and how it came about.

Following recent releases from the likes of Boris, Darren Emerson, Cristian Varela and Tomy DeClerque, this new collaborative EP presents Olly Davis and Carbon Electra.
From a young age Northern Ireland born Olly Davis had a fascination with rhythm and grew up playing the Irish Bodhran Drum. Getting older, he soon discovered electronic music and his love of percussion translated well into the sequenced loop of a drum machine. Picking up DJ residencies and playing for nights such as Defected In The House, Cream, and Ministry Of Sound, Olly has supported some of the world’s biggest DJ’s including Carl Cox who has signed him to Intec after spotting his talent both behind the decks and in the studio.
Olly, who now lives in Australia, has previously released on Rawsum, Hausity, Witty Tunes, plus Sam Devine’s label D-Vine Sounds. This collaboration with Carbon Electra showcases why Carl Cox considers him to be such a talent. Carbon Electra is a secretive artist making their debut release with this stunning collaborative EP.
The latest release to come from Carl Cox and Jon Rundell’s Intec Digital label is a two-track EP entitled Blacklight from Drumcomplex & Roel Salemink, who since their first appearance on the label in 2014 have been two of Intec’s most popular artists.
Collaboratively the pair has also released music on Bush Records, Bulletdodge and Marco Bailey’s label MB Elektronics, and although both are respected solo artists in their own right, many would argue that their collaborative releases are some of their most exquisite.
