Speaking on why they’ve decided to set up a separate label for techno releases, the pair commented: “We’re quite picky when it comes to techno and we came to it through an unusual set of influences, so we’ve created our own kind of bubble. When played out, the music seems to mess with people’s expectations sonically and structurally.”
