Vinyl-Only Label Another Earth Drops Fourth EP Featuring Dave Simon, Anders Ilar and John H

The fourth release of Another Earth, a small Dutch vinyl only label with limited 300 pressings, has finally arrived.

The A side is proper techno created by Dave Simon, beginning with the peak-time acid techno track we are premiering exclusively for you today titled “In Acid We Trust.”  The second from Simon, called “Path of Ability,” has a warm Detroit feel.

On the B side we see Anders Ilar together with John H for a more obscure offering, delivering deep weird acid techno that seems to come from another planet. “Uncertain Principle” feels like its exploring the surface of a strange planet with its weird soundscapes and “Field of Vision” is a deep obscure acid track with a proper groove. Both tracks have a great analog feel to them.

Q&A and Global Vibe Radio 126 Feat. Joachim Spieth

We are honored and proud to welcome Affin boss Joachim Spieth for his Global Vibe Radio debut.

It’s hard to summarize Joachim’s accomplishments in a few words. Calling him a talented producer is barely scratching the surface,  considering his large discography that began with early releases on Kompakt and continues on, over a decade later, with top-quality tracks featured on his very own Affin imprint.

His career has brought him to perform in a myriad of countries, including Australia, Denmark, France, Georgia, Iceland, Ireland, Mexico, Netherlands, Russia, South Africa, the UK and more — a testament to the respect his DJ sets have gained over the course of his long career.

But beyond his stellar work as an artist, it is his output as the head of his label that is even more recognized by peers and music aficionados alike. Joachim created his label Affin to be as independent as possible and focus on his own vision, surrounded by artists with a similar vision such as Keith Carnal, Svarog, Reggy Van Oers, Deepbass, Ness and Toki Fuko.

In honor of Joachim’s contribution to Global Vibe Radio we took the chance to talk with him in depth about his work as an artist, as the head of Affin and much more.
