The latest EP from bass music producer and label friend Destrata lands on Club Designs with a sound that’s deeper, heavier and more techno-driven than anything the label has released before.

Fresh off acclaimed releases on !K7, Scuffed Recordings and Martyn’s 3024 Records, the Vancouver-based producer sharpens his focus here on techno framework, layering complex percussion with dense, low-end pressure.

The release also includes 2 collaborations with label founder Garneau. The tracks carry Destrata’s detailed production front and centre, while Garneau’s ghetto house grit simmers in the background, creating a dark-room atmosphere built for heavy systems.

On remix duty, GREAZUS twists one cut into a bass-loaded global club weapon, while ZDBT delivers the EP’s most striking moment: a sleek and deep techno-fuelled reimagining that refracts Club Designs’ Detroit electro roots through a 4×4 lens.

Overall, the EP signals a bold shift for the label into a leaner, tougher, and more techno-focused, while still retaining the experimental spark that defines its catalogue.

Vancouver/Paris -based imprint Club Designs is back with its biggest compilation to date. CDMUSIC012, the latest in the label’s ongoing series of electro inspired VAs, boasts an eclectic mix of producers from across the globe, paying their respect to the classic Detroit genre.

The compilation features music from Vancouver heroes Greazus, French DMC champion Saligo, Berlin’s Insomniast, and label alumni Shanx, alongside label co-founders Sharkki, who teams up with hot French producer Body Hook, and Garneau who brings a deeper cut to the pack.

Tokyo newcomer Kanse keeps it old school, while Aleister and Minor Sine Project bring the modern productions into play. Sonically, the release traverses the full scope of the imprint’s sound, with streamlined percussive club tracks, bass-heavy workouts, and leftfield electro explorations that nod to both UK club culture and North America’s undergrounds.

Club Designs has been steadily building a reputation as a stronghold of gritty and raw dance music, and CDMUSIC012 sounds like both a rallying cry and a celebration of the collective energy that powers the label.
