/in /by

1605 is the record label of Slovenian techno artist UMEK, and the imprint’s latest release is a new EP from the owner himself. Both tracks are peak time techno that ooze energy to whip the dance floor into a frenzy. Along with UMEK’s own music, 1605 has built up a roster of artists including up-and-coming talent such as Mhi iri, but it also champions the music of established names such as Space 92, Cosmic Boys, The YellowHeads, and Teenage Mutants.

UMEK has made 1605 a regular output for his own tracks, which in the past, he had also been featured on the likes of Christian Smith’s Tronic and Reinier Zonneveld’s Filth On Acid.
