Our next release comes from Australian tech house wonderkid, Deepchild. Dividing his time between his native Australia, Germany and the United Kingdom, Rick (as he's also known) has spent the past several years forging a very respectable name on the international DJ circuit as a serious and versatile DJ and performer. Adding another dimension to his profile, he has also been responsible for some very unique and exciting production work on top labels such as Freerange and Get Physical amongst many others, so we are very excited and privileged to present you with this EP of his original works. Kicking things off we have "Donut Hound", a track that is already receiving lots of attention and support and has been featured on Hipp-e and Style of Eye's recent "OM Sessions" CD. All of Deepchild's production hallmarks are prevalent here, from his bouncy, funky basslines and swingy, shuffly hi hats to the quirky FX sounds that often accentuate his music.

On remix duties for this track, we have drafted in the mighty Tiger Stripes who turns in a stripped back, minimal techno interpretation. Utilizing the key elements of the original and with a keen focus on swing and groove, Tiger Stripes has created a simple yet powerful remix that is sure to find favor with a wide variety of DJ's and heat things up on the dancefloor!

On the flipside, Hipp-e treats us to a deep, tech-house excursion on his remix of "Twitch". Taking a completely different approach to Deepchild's twisted and glitchy original, he instead constructs his remix around a catchy and hypnotic arrangement of chords and melodies. The result is an excellent melodic journey with plenty of groove and rhythm that perfectly complements the package while remaining faithful to the original.

Last, but not least, label boss Stel steps up to the plate with his re-interpretation of "Spambot". His version remains close to the overall spirit of the package, serving up a fresh, underground slice of tech-house complete with techno-inspired chord stabs, fizzy rides and FX galore!

On the digital package, you will find 2 bonus tracks which are the Original versions of Deepchild’s “Twitch” and “Spambot”.

Dieb Audio continues its mission to provide quality, futuristic electronic music with this undeniably cool and diverse package. Two artists that need little, to no introduction for those who follow cutting-edge house and techno- DJ Yellow and Perc.

While many will know DJ Yellow as the influential, original pioneer behind "Yellow Productions" (with longtime friend Bob Sinclair), and the acclaimed "Africanism" concept, DJ Yellow's sound and style has gradually evolved and moved towards a more techno-inspired, twisted and cerebral state of affairs. HIs recent output has been documented and enthusiastically received on labels such as SAW, Ovum, Slip 'n' Slide and many more. A producer that remains true to his goal to confound expectations, here on "Space Soon To Vanish" demonstrates his mastery of blending percussive, staccato rhythms with haunting, sustained tones that create a soundscape that builds, snakes, slides and freaks out in all the right places with it's dive-bombing horns, fizzy rides and offset grooves. Filled with urgency and expectation, this wonderfully layered tune is sure to find favour with any DJ that loves a dramatic peaktime techno record built on old-school foundations with a solid emphasis on groove.

"Under The Silence" again confirms Yellow is still an absolute master when he visits the deeper reaches of house. Sublime and again, brilliantly produced, this cut oozes the genuine warmth Yellow consistantly strives for in music like this. Straddling the fine line between successfully complementing the A-side, while also providing a standout production that remains faithful to the style of his "Mindz Kontrol Ultra" concept "Under the Silence" sees DJ Yellow effortlessly add further depth and substance to the package.

Perc has been on fire of late, releasing storming releases for esteemed labels such as Kompakt and Drumcode amongst many, many others. Here, he transforms Yellow's "Under The Silence" into 2 outstanding, mutilated drum excursions. This truly is futuristic percussive techno of the highest calibre. Perc's Yellow Fever Remix retains the house stabs of Yellow's original and proceeds to violate them creating the ultimate techno journey whilst his Green Dub forgoes these stabs and heads straight for the jugular with it's sliced 'n diced beats. An outstandingly inspired re-interpretation of the original that completes the package with style and class.


Supported by Carl Cox, Dubfire, John Digweed, Laurant Garnier, Dave Seaman, Umek, Sander Kleinenberg, DJ Yellow, Monika Kruse, Mark Knight, Danny Howells, Nick Warren, Timo Maas, Gregor Tresher, Roger Sanchez, Agoria and many more..

On his first release for Dieb, "Keep her Space" we find Jamie venturing into exciting, sci-fi techno territory, using hypnotic, intertwining analogue synth sequences and understated shuffling rhythms to create a building, tense monster of a track that has generated early support from DJ's such as Dave Seaman (who has included it on his latest Renaissance Master's CD) and Umek.

Smith and Selway arguably deliver the more "peak time" mixes here, as they strip the track down to its bare essentials, focusing primarily on dynamics and groove. The first “Mayhem Remix” is sure to cause exactly that on dancefloors and at festivals around the world for many months to come. Not since Josh Wink's Higher State Of Conciousness has a breakdown been constructed to such dramatic effect. Already given the double thumbs up from Dubfire, James Zabiela and Carl Cox, this stormer ticks all those “special moment” boxes. The "Control Mix" retains similar elements and sounds, while showing restraint in the drops and is more suitable for a more subtle and smooth set. This mix has already found favor with John Digweed and Anthony Pappa who have included it on their latest, respective CD releases!

Last, but definitely not least, Onionz provides and excellent, jacking house interpretation which adds another dimension to this package. Implementing old-school house stabs, a bouncing, funky bassline and thunderous, cracking tom fills, Onionz re-interprets the track in his own unique style while remaining faithful to Jamie's original vision.
