DJ Deep - "What's Going On" - (6:13) 124 BPM
Avision - "Hold No Groove" - (5:56) 128 BPM Hot
Deetron - "Pulse" - (6:36) 140 BPM
Review: Next up on Laurent Garnier's label is a split release that explores the deeper end of house and techno. DJ Deep is up first with "What's Going On". Powered by raw, tribal beats and featuring lush pads, it sounds like the veteran house head's tribute to Joe Clausell's organic sound. Avision's "Hold No Groove" is also inspired by house music, but on this occasion, Chicago rather than New York is referenced. Combining a snaking bass with busy, layered percussion, the result is mesmerising. Deetron ups the tempo but maintains a deep sound on "Pulse", its musical but insistent rhythm recalls classic Kenny Larkin.

Review: More mysterious music from Laurent Garnier and Scan X's COD3 QR label. In keeping with the imprint's house style, the identities of the producers who have contributed tracks to this expansive, multi-artist extravaganza have been replaced by oblique code numbers. There's naturally plenty to set the pulse racing throughout, from the collaborative 'Last Night', where part spoken, part sung vocals rub shoulders with alien-sounding synth motifs and classic US house tropes atop a snappy deep house groove, and the piano-sporting deep techno-goes-deep house wonder of 'No Way' (another joint effort) to the breathless, Rex Club-friendly techno heaviness of 'Dealing With Loneliness' and the warming ambient jazz-meets-nu-jazz swell of 'For Gwen'.

Review: After initially refusing to reveal their identities or those of their artists, CD03 QR founders Laurent Garnier and Scan X softened their stance a little. It's interesting then that the label's latest expansive EP once again features no explanation of the producers involved, who in true sci-fi techno style have been given numeric codes. Their point is that it doesn't matter who made the music as it should be about the quality of the tracks on show. Helpfully, this is another very strong collection that variously touches on warming, intergalactic deep house ('Get Down'), hypnotic, retro-futurist techno positivity ('Meraki'), sleazy slo-mo chuggers ('Midnight Run'), skewed hip-hop ('Permission'), dark-room intensity (the Sxan X-esque 'No Joke' and 'Flexible Life') and vocal tech-jazz brilliance ('It's That').

Review: The brainchild of Laurent Garnier and Scan X, the COD3 QR label now releases its first album. As always, the identity / identities of who is behind the music remains a mystery, but there is no doubt that each track exudes quality. "Fully Focused" and "Dong" are fine, Detroit techno-inspired jams, with the epic synths on the former and a booming bass on the latter really impressing. Meanwhile, the brooding build up on "Melancolia" is exactly the kind of spine-tingling moment you'd expect to hear in a Laurent Garnier set. In contrast, "Keep On Holding" is a beautiful break beat track, populated by glacial synths. All these tracks come together to make for a great first LP from COD3 QR.

Review: Mysterious split release series COD3 QR reaches double figures with a fine four tracker. The label, which has previously put out music from Remotif, Agents of Time and JoeFarr, promise that it will reveal the identity of the producers behind this tenth volume in the coming months. In the meantime, it's all about the music:
"How D'ya Like Your Beef" is a grinding, low-slung electro jam, while in contrast, the fluid groove. purring bass and airy synths of "Poliritmo" and "Bye Bye" are reminiscent of producers like Vince Watson and Circulation. Meanwhile, "Internal" is based on a tougher rhythm and features more dystopian synths, which is sure to make the reveal fascinating.
