Maksim Dark & Diatonik - Dub Space Ep
With its newest release, Jannowitz Records is sticking to the tried and true. “Dub Space” is an EP compiled of four weapons. And the original creators of these weapons are no others than Maksim Dark and Diatonik. Both have been part of the label for quite some time, with Maksim making his first appearance in 2016 (remixing Joseph Disco's “Bodymoves”) and Diatonik in 2017 (remixing Touchtalk's “Rescue”). Since then, both have become regulars on the labels, working closely together with Jannowitz label head BOHO and being two of the main players ensuring the imprint's success.
We're happy to announce that they've joined forces to create what can easily be the heaviest release this year. Because if you've followed both artists you may know that they're known for proper techno, driving beats, strong kicks, progressive sound and a futuristic vibe. Title track “Dub Space” is the perfect example of what electronic music means to Maksim Dark and Diatonik. Similar to it's sister track “Menacing Rise” - you will find signature bits and bops of the Russian and the Indian in both productions, meaning that they combined their strengths in order to provide the best result possible.
As always, to support our JAW heroes, we asked two of our favorite artists to remix “Dub Space” and thereby become a part of the Jannowitz family. We had laid an eye on British DJ and producer Transcode for an awful time before finally getting him on board. With his releases on Filth on Acid (Reinier Zonneveld's uber label) and Stil vor Talent (do we really need to say any more?), Transcodes tracks were picked up by the likes of ANNA, John Digweed, Laurent Garnier. We're sure that these huge names will be very pleased with what Transcode has done with Maksim's and Diatonik's track: It's a peak-time bomb that starts off strong but has its most epic moment in second half when an underlying synth line sneaks in and climaxes with an exciting drop.
Last but not least, Berlin based producer The Reason Y joins the label. You should know him from his work on Pan-Pot's Second State label or maybe from his TRY Land parties at legendary Watergate club. All of this has happened within only three years for The Reason Y, when he first started working under this alias - insane! His remix is what you would call unusual for Jannowitz Records, mainly because of the softer kick drum he used. But nevertheless, The Reason Y's producing skills are unbelievable. His interpretation will transport you to a whole different planet which we call “Dub Space” - give it a listen!

The story began during a dimmed night very close to dark and purling Spree river in Berlin – directly under the legendary and well known Jannowitz brigde, which connects the southern Luisenstadt (Berlin-Friedrichshain) with Stralauer Viertel (Alexanderstraße) in the north. Right under the brick crafted bridge, Lars Kohl and Linus Elter had the very first spark of an idea, which they implemented to hundreds of technolovers within short time: rearrange your boarders and be authentic! Since that day, individuality and personality are in the focus of the productions of all labelacts – counting international names such as Khainz, Cosmic Boys, Carlo Ruetz, Matt Sassari, Betoko, Makism Dark or a row of brasilian superstars like Alex Stein, Fractall, Flow & Zeo, Eudi and Andre Gazolla in. It’s a continuous process and change, who is driving the Jannowitz family to new dimensions. The inner circle of the imprint raises regularly as a phoenix out of the masses, always in focus, not to lose all connections to mainstream landscapes. Our motto: „We develop groovy techno with a special touch of melodic & minimal madness“ and yes, that’s why we are Jannowitz Records! The label has received some amazing support from techno pioneers like: Richie Hawtin, Adam Beyer, Dubfire, Laurent Garnier, Chris Liebing, Alex Stein, Marco Carola and many more.... And dropped some nice Beatport chart hits.
