DNA

Techno speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul.

After five consecutive years of hosting succesful events around the Netherlands, taking their 'DNA" concept a step further seemed only natural to its founders, Emiel Zwart and Arjan van Rij. With DNA already in possession of a solid reputation for providing quality techno to those in need, creating a platform for putting out just that kind of music made perfect sense.

As a result DNA_rec is now a reality: a purely techno-oriented label that aims to put out an array of diverse and distinctive releases. Much like their Rotterdam-based clubnights DNA_rec will look beyond the obvious names towards both well-known underground artists and upcoming talent alike. Emiel and Arjan are keen to think and look outside of the box for artists that produce exciting, intelligent techno that inspires and refreshes, as they have also done (and still do) when it comes to the line-ups for their DNA events. Whether deeper and more melodic or raw and banging; if it's great techno, DNA_rec will be the imprint for it.

The label's first EP's have already been scheduled and will feature mostly new talent, many of which are close friends of the DNA concept. Active as DJ and producer himself, Emiel will also be releasing his music through DNA_rec. With more parties in the pipeline and a promising label in their pocket, one would do right to expect a lot more from Emiel, Arjan and DNA.
