Seamless to their first release of the Stone Techno series, The Third Room presents the second edition of this unique concept. Yan Cook marks his debut with The Third Room collective. Cook was born in Kiev, Ukraine, 1991. At the age of 16, he was introduced to electronic music, more specifically techno and his love for it was instantaneous.
Excise is thrilled to host San Francisco underground fixture Max Gardner on the label’s 3rd vinyl release. Max runs the legendary Californian party crew Direct to Earth, and he’s equally a hypnotic DJ selector and highly skilled synthesist. As you’ll see on this release, Max’s tracks are not only excellent DJ tools, but also deeply interesting for close-listening: truly unique electronic music difficulty to pigeonhole into a genre.
TheĀ Broken Knives and Pinkies EPĀ begins with the track we are premiering today, “Mona Loops.”Ā It is an immersive experience on club speakers as an eerie high-pitched synth line twists in unexpected ways over powerful waves of bass. Next, Max remixes label co-owner Muon‘s track “KMC”, redefining its raw elements into a blitzing four and half minute romp held together by a jagged low-mid frequency lead line.
