Seasons, eh. One moment it’s all the light, bright and emotional summer height and then (with a swift, distinctly Schulzian rug-pull) we’re back to black! The Coldharbour Recordings family’s bloodlines are getting mixed this fall, and with results most tonally dark & thrilling in nature. Legends both established and new are in the mix, with an incestuously interconnecting cabal of producers pulling the studio levers.
Wave goodbye to your comfort zone. Next stop Rabbit Hole: Level 5!
Your cast for the trip, well presiding, naturally, the darker arts master himself, Markus Schulz (and by natural extension Dakota). Also in the mix are trance immortal Jam El Mar and Gotham’s (alright Leeds’!) finest, Arkham Knights. The occasion: the bottle-break for Coldharbour’s new Black imprint, which, going forward, will quarter the most suspenseful and technofied offerings the label has to supply.
Born out of Global DJ Broadcast’s “Afterdark” show, the fourth edition of Markus’ annual winter-wave-in, aired last week. Premiering over the course were three new creations, that today form up as the Afterdark Vol. 1 EP.
Music to lose yourself in, Afterdark Vol. 1 paints the clearest of portraits of the coming sound of Coldharbour Black. You can pick it up here.
Afterdark Vol. 1 tracklist:
- Markus Schulz & Jam El Mar – The Lotus
- Markus Schulz pres. Dakota vs. Arkham Knights – Something About You
- Arkham Knights & Jam El Mar – Wake Up
