- The DJ/producer is set to begin his own digital label next month.
- Dutch DJ/producer Speedy J has announced plans to launch a digital-only label. Still in the comedown glow after his headlining set at DEMF, Speedy has produced his first dance floor-oriented release in more than two years for the imprint's debut release, "Red Shift." In press notes, the man sometimes called Jochem Paap promises that the Electric Deluxe, as he's calling it, will be "platform for artists, operating within any conceivable genre in the broad spectrum of techno, who wish to fully explore and embrace...ever-expanding technological possibilities." That platform apparently includes libraries of sounds: Paap already released a 4GB bank of "drum kits, individual hits/tones, loops, sequencer-based instruments, fx and konstrukt instruments" mapped out especially by him in Native Instrument's Kontakt Player 2 earlier this year. Paap will undoubtedly be drawing on some of those sounds when he plays a five hour set as part of his residency at Melkweg. Set to appear alongside him? Radio Slave, Nathan Fake, Pan-Pot and Marcel Dettmann just to name a few... "Red Shift" will be released in November on Electric Deluxe.
