Stojche

Review: Newcastle via London label Jaunt Records revisits its 10 year anniversary EP from 2017 with a series of great remixes by Inland, Jonas Kopp, Jasper Wolff & Maarten Mittendorff and Stojche. This is the first of two EPs planned, and it offers up a timeless mix of heady techno and slick electro.
Berlin based Brit Inland tackles Jaunt resident Blackhall & Bookless's 'Spirit' and serves up a heavyweight wedge of warehouse techno. On the same side, Jonas Kopp flips 'Itria' into a sci-fi tinged bit of dub techno and long time studio partners Jasper Wolff & Maarten Mittendorff from Indigo Aera offer widescreen synth work and blissed out pads all tethered to rolling and rubbery drums. Stojche's take on Gian's track is a fantastically crisp and futurist piece of electro that will get anyone on their toes. This is a classy EP that showcases the sort of sounds you will hear on any Jaunt dance floor.

Review: Over the last decade, Stojche Cvetanovski has appeared for many top labels, such as liebe*detail, Dogmatik and Subwax BCN. Here he makes his debut on Don Williams' esteemed Berlin imprint a.r.t.less, with some soulful techno excursions on the Magnitude EP. From the steely and austere energy of the title track - a dubby excursion from the factory floor which is perfect for those heads down moments, to additional A side cut "Matrix" - a deep and almost beatless number which displays even more emotive qualities. Featuring layers of life affirming strings/pads working their subtle magic - pretty awesome stuff. On the flip, Cvetanovski certainly proves that there is real diversity in his repertoire, on the sombre electro bass of "Compassion" which closes out this fine EP. Tip!

Review: The Jaunt Records 10 years series shores up with the Land installment featuring another four adventurous souls that have the spirit of deepest techno in their bones. Stojche lets lush Motor City synths lead the way on the energetic "The Exchange" before AWOL gets into an intricate broken beat groove on the stunning "54.973379, -1.614705". Luke Hess brings some unabashed acid gurgles to the front of the mix on "TDY" and then Deep'a & Biri plot a course for dubby waters with the growling tones of "Pilgrim".
