Our Visionquest catalog countdown ends with the landmark VQ001- the Where The Freaks Have No Name EP, the label’s absolutely massive debut release delivered by production maestros/extended Visionquest family members @benoitandsergio. The DC/Berlin duo are seasoned producers with finely honed electro pop sensibilities who have been showcased via notable releases on DFA and Spectral Sound. The opening track “Walk and Talk” is the EP’s ironic and iconic sing-along barnstormer, featuring a heartfelt lament documenting the narrator’s sad resignation to the compromised state and aloof nature of an anesthetized lover. Rarely has such a mournful refrain adopted the form of such a buoyant earworm; appealingly emotive while its psychedelic touch caresses willing crowds worldwide, unified under the spell of this quintessential slice of blurred romantic techno. Hissing, breathing sounds weave in and out of its steadily hypnotic groove as the ethereal vocal adds yet more hallucinogenic resonance to this masterpiece of a track.

The EP’s title track “Where The Freaks Have No Name” is another killer venture into electronic psychosis, with undulating arpeggios and ominous sounds that dramatically rise and fall atop busy congos and pitched-down phantom voice snippets that manage to create an atmosphere of compellingly seductive dread- like the soundtrack for a heated tryst in a haunted boudoir. The release closes with the beautifully warped last opus “Day Residue” which initially evokes a nostalgic 80s synth feel, like Human League via a hybrid Vangelis/Moroder filter; rich textures then arise and run wild to conjure dynamic depths and highs, and bubbling widescreen sci-fi sounds give way to a wave of gleaming pads and jewel tones that envelop the listener in a rush of sparkling sonic optimism. At nearly 10 minutes long, it’s an epic and enthrallingly experimental close to the EP that began Visionquest’s 15 year legacy of releasing ambitious, witty, and exciting electronic music that can’t help but extol heightened emotion within its irresistible grooves.

VQ002 is the Utopia EP, the superbly beatific release by the masters of sublime synthpop songcraft Footprintz, aka @addy_weitzman and @clarianmusic. Footprintz possesses a unique kind of musical skill borne of this magnetic partnership’s perfectly balanced pop sensibilities. Title track “Utopia” opens the release with a plucked guitar line and a charming synth melody over which blissful intimately delivered vocals complete the track’s warm, dreamy atmosphere.A captivating blend of pop magic, hatched in a dream and painted in vivid colour, it beguiles the listener with its genuine heartfelt hooks.

“Golden Dreams” follows with a touch of romantic darkness, cloaked in mystery and soaked with mood. With a clanging metal pulse, uttering choral cries, and apocalyptic echoes, it evokes a thrilling sensation of sweeping drama unfolding within a new wave noir atmosphere. The EP closes with @ewanp’s inspiring take on “Utopia”, which steers the track to the dancefloor by adding a bit of 4/4 clubby heartbeat energy along with beds of pulses and bleeps and a complementary minor key synth figure, leading to a climactic chorus of sighs that soars with melancholic beauty and grandeur. With this EP, Footprintz announced themselves as creators of songs that seem at once familiar yet strikingly new; a hybrid of early morning synth sounds, improbably lovely vocal harmonies, and forward-thinking recontextualizations of dance, indie, and folk moods that captivate both hearts and dancefloors alike.

VQ003 is The Dark Song EP from melodic techno luminaries @taleofus, which marked the Italian duo’s Visionquest debut with a stunning trio of tracks that captivate with their evocatively serene yet haunting atmospheres. Engulfing the listener in a luscious wall of sound from the onset, “Dark Song” begins the EP with a mournful flutelike melodic figure accompanied by simple, sparse percussion. Understated beats then kick in along with more percussive elements and yearning vocals soulfully make the request to “activate your mind” in a reflective take on house music that subtly stimulates the senses through a warm tapestry of sound.

Using a similarly dreamy production style that resonates from the depths, “Circle Of Love” is a magnetic slice of ethereal dancefloor music. Its skittering beats and rippling bass enthrall as soft ambient pads fill the track’s vast skies, but it’s the sensual vocal that gives “Circle Of Love” its unique edge by adding an intimate, highly emotive element of mystery. “Valiant” completes the package, starting out strong with a muffled pulsing beat over which a running synth line is slowly revealed; it then acidically accents its melody with bubbling fervor and urgency, building towards a widescreen climax bolstered by swirling pads and meticulous 909 pattern flourishes that concludes this accomplished EP with a spellbinding, masterful hybrid of techno and deep house.

VQ004 is The Visionquest Club Collection (Spring Summer 2011) EP, a special release intended to showcase some of the most promising artists of that year. @vernon_bara & @signorvicente open the EP with their rolling tech masterpiece “Don’t Feel No Way” - a powerful display of energetic drive exemplified by layered percussive textures and a rumbling bassline that builds the momentum. Wisps of a soulful electric voice slip in and out accompanied by birdsong transmitted from the outer reaches where the electrifying currents of deep techno take hold and don’t let go.

Hurting from the lack of love Next Matthew Burton & Nick Lawson provide “Gruff It“, a sinuous slice of deep groovy house. Trippy FX bring the weirdness and are underpinned by a moody funk bassline, along with off-kilter beats and bleeps that give “Gruff It” its edgy, playful, mischievous soul. Last, @laura.jones.music cements her place in the Visionquest canon by lending her cool, melodic style to the package via her track “Live A Little”- a classic blend of fluid house grooves and hypnotic sunrise techno, warm and gritty in equal measure with sharp oscillating stabs, spectral voices, and a plucked melody that threads the whole affair together until shimmering glassy moments gleam atop the irresistibly bouncing rhythm that closes this immaculate collection of fresh and beguiling sounds.

VQ005 is the Visionquest Beach Collection (Spring Summer 2011) EP, a selection of sun-dappled feelgood summer jams from a dream team of producers consisting of @maceoplex, @taleofus, and @pillowtalkmusic. This three-tiered melting pot of hot talent dishes out a warm mix of sun-drenched house steeped in soul both dusky and bright. House maestro Maceo Plex steps up first with the bittersweet summer anthem “Falling”, featuring a dreamy vocal that drifts into an uplifting melody, funky guitar licks, and subtle undercurrents of softly jacking beats that build into a psychedelic wave of hooky synths. Next, Tale Of Us return to Visionquest after the success of their moody, epic Dark Song EP with the deep melancholy of “Winds Of Change”, whose eerie atmospheres unfold with gently broken beats, minor key bass notes, and a mysterious vocal that penetrates the soul with its yearning, heartfelt clarity.

The trio of Michael Tello, Ryan Williams, and Sammy D aka Pillow Talk closes the EP with “Love Makes Parks”, a majestic slice of straight-up soul dance music. Sammy’s velvet vocals, influenced by the soulful stylings of 50’s/60s R&B, glide over the reverberating energy of the laid-back swinging groove, with a warping synth line and a hooky layered Motown-style vocal section that joins hands with the production’s hazy sway. A testament to the range of moods evidenced across the Visionquest sonic footprint, this collection evokes the breeze and the heat of a memorable summer romance, soul music for the body.

VQ006 is the Time To Lose It EP, the Visionquest debut release by Chilean-born, Barcelona-based DJ and celebrated producer @dinkyiglesias. After a series of notable releases on labels such as Cocoon, Wagon Repair, and Ostgut Ton, here she unveils a superb three track EP of mesmerizing beauty and elegance. Opener “Teka” is a monster of a track that effortlessly opens with an intricate conga pattern upon which is unleashed a thumping kick and quirky filtering melody line that soars throughout the track’s length. Some subtle vocal coos and unintelligible vocal snippets shift and coalesce in the background, seducing listeners and transporting them away into the track’s deep atmospheres.

The following track “This Is Your Heart” is a deeply magical beast with hypnotic glowing arpeggios that capture the listener, lulling them along with lush ambient waves and housey congas while the title phrase rhythmically repeats as a beguiling whisper within the shimmering details of the production. Finally, “Time To Lose It” is languorous, trippy funk outing balanced by an absorbing folkloric hymn soothingly sung by Dinky like a gentle wind blowing through phantom trees, while a low squelchy bassline provides the bed for the track’s lush melodic groove and spaced out beats. With this set of productions, Dinky succeeds in creating three entirely different moods that showcase her ability to seize the principles of dance music creation and infuse them with her vital heart and soul.

VQ007 is the Visionquest Fall/Winter Collection EP, a collection of three elegant tracks that displays the label’s trademark curatorial skill in selecting the best offerings from across the broad spectrum of dance-oriented electronic music.
The EP’s inspiring juxtaposition of David K, My Favorite Robot, and @mirko_loko_official together works to create a unified whole, a remarkably versatile collection for the season’s darkening months. France’s David K starts things off with “Ghost Train”, a serious genre bender centered around a galloping, urgent synth line and driven by snarling, disaffected vocals that comment upon the despondence and monotony of urban life, evoking foundational post-punk artists such as Gang of Four, John Foxx or P.I.L. within a contemporary techno approach.

Next up is “Forest Fires” by My Favorite Robot, a heady exotic blend of a track that resembles a low key anesthetized homage to Vangelis’s “End Titles” with a tone and atmosphere compatible with works by artists as diverse as Carl Craig, Human League, and Benoit & Sergio. It’s an outstanding emotional track whose mournful vocal leads to a simple repeated phrase harmonized chorus that sticks in the mind with its elegiac beauty. Lausanne native Mirko Loko closes the EP with the melancholic 13 minute odyssey that is “Gloria”, Sweeping, heartfelt, detailed, and nothing short of panoramic, the production’s glassy tones and serpentine melody curl atop a heartbeat rhythm bed that churns insistently with almost imperceptible moments of micro-percussion that call to mind the best of Villalobos. It’s a track that reiterates Visionquest’s affection for the outer-boundaries and experimental possibilities of dance music, ending this collection of diverse and distinctive works in grand cinematic fashion.

VQ008 is the DRM (Pt.1) EP, the first half of a double single release by @cesarmerveille_official & @ryancrosson that presents a sublime collection of enchanting, innovative electronics from the outer reaches of the dancefloor. Cesar & Ryan have utilized elements of electronica, jazz, deep house, ambient and techno in this EP, all expertly woven into an expressive and radiant tapestry. The lead track “DRM” features loose tribal drum patterns that underpin a laidback groove; an increasingly driving rhythm pushes the track forward while an aching, otherworldly marimba delivers a haunted, melancholic song to the soul. Evocative and mesmerizing, “DRM” is an exquisite work of beauty, suitable for dancefloors and interior journeys alike.

“Orca” follows with an atmospheric heady blend of effervescent chimes and xylophones that rise and crash with swelling energy; the sounds swirl amongst the percussive waves as they crest and fall to breach around the syncopated rhythms of the shore, until the track’s climactic polyrhythmic burst propels the track towards its exhilarating conclusion. The EP closes with “The Day You Left”, a lovely piece of heavenly sonic sculpture with a transcendental, soothing nature thanks to the interplay of airy crystalline sounds that sparkle as they dance between raw hand claps. It’s a beautiful and concise bit of production wonderment that has echoes of Global Communication’s 76:14 as well as the work of Jean Luc Ponty, bringing a poignant conclusion to an accomplished EP full of impressive and exciting musicality.

VQ008 is the DRM (Pt.1) EP, the first half of a double single release by @cesarmerveille_official & @ryancrosson that presents a sublime collection of enchanting, innovative electronics from the outer reaches of the dancefloor. Cesar & Ryan have utilized elements of electronica, jazz, deep house, ambient and techno in this EP, all expertly woven into an expressive and radiant tapestry. The lead track “DRM” features loose tribal drum patterns that underpin a laidback groove; an increasingly driving rhythm pushes the track forward while an aching, otherworldly marimba delivers a haunted, melancholic song to the soul. Evocative and mesmerizing, “DRM” is an exquisite work of beauty, suitable for dancefloors and interior journeys alike.

“Orca” follows with an atmospheric heady blend of effervescent chimes and xylophones that rise and crash with swelling energy; the sounds swirl amongst the percussive waves as they crest and fall to breach around the syncopated rhythms of the shore, until the track’s climactic polyrhythmic burst propels the track towards its exhilarating conclusion.
