Crookers Signs New Duo, Louis Benoit, to Ciao Recs

The second EP on Crookers‘ new imprint, Ciao Recs, has been released today, and it comes from London-based duo, Louis Benoit — two producers (Unitz + Arc 88) that had previously worked individually before coming together and producing the Clark Kent EP, which Crookers just couldn’t pass up. The title track brings back memories of the glory days of Electro in 2008 — wonky, crunched-out synth leads matched with thumping, relentless bass — while the B-side “What’s Your Angle?” incorporates a Progressive build-up before dropping a deep, bassline that pummels into the Techno realm. Support already in from Boys Noize, Riton, Crookers, and more. Pick it up on Beatport.

[VIDEO] THE FINAL VERSUS / 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY

VERSUS was our humble weekly event @ The Central in Santa Monica, CA over the past 2 years. We’re sad to have it come to an end, but we sent it off proper with a biblical b2b set from Skrillex x Congorock x Crookers x 12th Planet, along with Doorly and our very own Bones. We thank everyone for all the memories, never forget what we’ve built.

GDD x DANCEiSM = VERSUS

Bot (ex Crookers) Unveils 11 New Futuristic Techno Originals

After an amicable split in late 2012, Bot (ex Crookers) took to the studio to start a new chapter in his musical career; aiming his production sights at a new futuristic Techno sound. 11 brand new originals came of this self-inflicted studio lockdown, including a handful of new collaborations with Astronomar, TAI, David Heartbreak, and more. He’s put together a 24-minute teaser to give us all a taste of the new side of Bot, and it’s brilliant. Bot’s first release will be out this March on Mad Decent.
