Techno purists, take note—Myles Sergé and his (MS) imprint deliver a heavyweight remix package for his recently released track ‘Shoplifter’, featuring an all-star lineup of producers bringing fresh, club-ready interpretations. At the forefront is the Anders Ilar & John H Remix, a standout rework that transforms the original into an expansive, acid-fueled odyssey.

The Swedish duo, known for their work on New York Haunted, Another Earth, Echocord, and Shitkatapult, craft a bouncing, rubbery 303 bassline that evolves into a colossal, hypnotic groove. Their remix pulses with energy, maintaining the stripped-back, jackin’ essence of the original while injecting a dynamic, infectious acid flow perfect for late-night dancefloors.

This remix joins an eclectic selection of reimaginations from techno heavyweights, including Dustin Zahn, Lester Fitzpatrick, Chicago Skyway, Nuntius Noctis, and Black Mirror Park, each offering their own unique spin on Myles Sergé’s hypnotic and immersive original.

🔥 Stream the premiere of ‘Shoplifter (Anders Ilar & John H Remix)’ now on Data Transmission and grab it on Bandcamp.

Renowned for his boundary-pushing productions, Quenum kicks off 2025 in style with his latest EP, ‘Detox’, a three-track exploration of deep, groovy house rhythms designed for the dancefloor.

Leading the charge is ‘Detox’, a playful yet driving house cut built on a pulsating bassline and dynamic vocal interplay between a boy and a girl. The track unfolds with rich, atmospheric breakdowns before a funk-laden, guitar-like synth line injects fresh energy, locking listeners back into the groove. It’s deep, infectious, and brimming with character, showcasing Quenum’s knack for crafting hypnotic, late-night heaters.

With ‘Movement’ and ‘Give Me My Body Back’ rounding out the EP—delivering a mix of shuffling rhythms, nostalgic piano stabs, and trippy chopped vocals—this release is an essential selection for any DJ crate.

As a world-renowned DJ and producer he continues to shape the electronic music landscape with his characteristic atmospheric sound, defying predictability and embodying his lifelong commitment to innovation.

Stacey’s musical journey began at age 9 with the flute in school bands, setting the stage for a lifelong connection to music.

From his debut gig in 1992, Stacey recognized the challenges and rewards of DJing. The release of his first track was under the moniker “Bango” on Derrick May’s Fragile Records. In 1993, Stacey moved to Amsterdam for more than a year and solidified his status as an innovative and influential figure in the techno landscape. In 1998, he continued his growth trajectory and started Blackflag Recordings featuring the future classic “Sweat”.

As a luminary in the music industry, Stacey Pullen continues to grow Blackflag Records: a label of abstract aesthetics– an outlet of free speech, thought and sound. Stacey’s goal is to hold no boundaries in his approach to music and its artform. With the goal of growth alway
