While the grimy acid and electro of Ekman’s Panzerkreuz release was one of 2014’s best records, last year also saw the Dutch producer strengthen his ties with Berceuse Heroique, the UK label that he had provided the debut release for. It seems that after years of working and preparing, it has all paid off for Roel Dijks, and he now finds himself in the enviable situation of being able to pick and choose whom he releases for.

The Dutch artist will issue GMMDI, a fourth record through the London label in February.

With releases from Ekman, MGUN and the mighty Gesloten Cirkel to its credit, the Berceuse Heroique label has been the subject of some well-deserved attention. Judging by this latest release, it’s about to get a whole lot more praise. Like the Buz Ludzha release for All City earlier this year – in attitude rather than substance – this record feels like a breath of fresh air. With one grand sweep, it renders the majority of releases around it obsolete and redundant.

Whilst record labels are started and achieve success or failure for all manner of reasons, those borne out of the momentum already in place from a club night (or indeed a venue) with an established aesthetic tend to brandish the most impact. Similar amounts of dedication, passion and stress go into promoting nights and releasing records, as Night Slugs or Live At Robert Johnson will surely attest. It’s far too early to proclaim Forbidden Planet a success, but the Montreal label is heading in the right direction. It’s the latest extension of the radio show and club night of the same name overseen by Jurg Haller, with the latter only taking shape in the last year. As a promoter, Haller clearly knows his onions, with Terekke, Young Male, Container and Bill Kouligas amongst recent guests, and this knowledge has seeped into the label too.
