Esc.rec.

03/06/2026

*** OUT NOW! ***

PICK & MIX is a series of Esc.rec. catalogue deep dives by DJ. This is the sixth result, carefully selected and constructed by Peter Grevinga aka p/ttg//. Peter is arguably the one and only godfather, supporter, and guardian of the Deventer dance scene throughout the years. And he actually made the most intensive Esc.rec. catalogue mix in this series yet. By far.

Blending 4 tracks simultaneously, paying hommage to an insane amount of uncovered catalogue gems and combining the essence of Esc.rec. diversity with a fresh interpretation of the material and some serious crate-digging, this feels more like an extremely well executed collage than a DJ mix. But even with this intense density of short multi-layered fragments the mix still feels natural in its progression and really tells a story.

Peter was so taken by the richness of the catalogue that the result is not one, but two mixes, which can be experienced as both sides of a tape. After finalising this impressive feat he was even still a bit dissapointed that he couldn't do justice to all that he found, and had to skip some artists he had grown to admire. Peter even went so far as to say that "his life and musical journey are more or less captured in this mix".

Label owner Harco Rutgers: "The way Peter approached this project caught me totally by surprise. Even when he showed extreme enthousiasm for the catalogue as he was discovering it, and was often passionately telling me about his labour intensive work in progress, I still sort of expected the result to stay in Peter's own realm, which is mainly dancefloor orientated electronic music and techno/house music in particular. It was a really emotional moment for me to hear for the first time how he had managed to re-contextualise a substantial portion of the Esc.rec. catalogue. Truly an honour and a tribute."

Dear artists! I'm extremely honoured by the amazing stuff you keep sending to my small independent label. But it's just too much to process. Too much for me to carefully listen to, let alone to consider it for a release or even reply to your many emails and messages.

That's why I now feel it is necessary to close the gates. Please stop sending me your demos (even when you think this doesn't apply to you). I have enough releases lined up to maintain a continues stream of releases for a long time coming. Maybe in the future I'll open things up again, when work pressure has reached acceptable levels. Who knows.

Today we release the compilation 'Nieuwe Electronische Waar 20'! Get it for free (or pay if you want): escrec.bandcamp.com

Nieuwe Electronische Waar (NEW) is celebrating its 20th anniversary! For the 20th edition, a promising selection of ten producers from the East of The Netherlands has been made. After a three-week recruitment period, a diverse jury thoroughly assessed all submissions. This resulted in a selection of the ten most striking and innovative tracks. These tracks are now featured here on the annual compilation, and the producers will have a year full of development opportunities.

What once began as a small initiative by several producers and labels from the Nijmegen area has grown into one of the most idiosyncratic projects in the East of The Netherlands. Producers from the Dutch provinces Gelderland and Overijssel could submit their tracks. A broad expert jury, consisting of DJs, producers, programmers, and talent developers, then thoroughly listened to each track. Each entry was judged on originality, uniqueness, and quality. This resulted in the NEW20 selection, ranging from ambient to techno, from electronic experiments to drum and bass.

celebrates its 20th release on Friday, March 27th at . The compilation will be officially presented at 7:30 PM. Several selected producers will also present a diverse program with live electronic music and DJ sets.

NEW is an initiative of Poppunt Gelderland, Poppunt Overijssel, BRUT, Booster festival, Hedon talent support, and De Basis Nijmegen. In addition, there are frequent collaborations with venues and partners in the region: De Perifeer (Deventer), Burgerweeshuis (Deventer), Luxor Live (Arnhem), Doornroosje (Nijmegen), Metropool (Twente), GIGANT (Apeldoorn), Astrant (Ede), Studio Wonder, Valkhof Festival, and of course Esc.rec.

Big review/interview in La Liberté!

"Sur quelle planète enregistre-t-on une musique pareille? Se poser la question est bon signe. Ça prouve qu’en une poignée de secondes, on a laiss la norme à quelques annéeslumière. Au cœur d’une de ces nuits spatiales comme on en voit parfois sur l’écran large, des particules soniques flottent au plus près de nos tympans. Bientôt, un souffle stellaire les aimante pour recomposer un blues électronique sur lequel se greffe le flow atone ou subtilement harmonieux d’Infinite Livez. L’effet est vertigineux."

Today we release 'PICK & MIX 05' by 💫 More info, stream, download 🔗 escrec.bandcamp.com

PICK & MIX is a series of Esc.rec. catalogue deep dives by DJ. This is the fifth result, carefully selected and constructed by Debbie Huisman. Her mix is more dancefloor orientated and accidentally almost every track she selected was produced in the east of The Netherlands, where she used to live. What are the odds?

Debbie Huisman is an interdisciplinary artist exploring the connection between brain and body - how sound, movement and space create an experience that resonates physically and mentally. In her project Digital High Lab she produces sound and choreography and connects subjects of life. Because of her movers mindset, she works intuitively with different structures and shapes, and when DJ'ing, she is mentally dancing, storytelling through sound - creating layers, like a collage. Debbie loves many artforms and thinks it is necessary to express ourselves to (re)connect.

Debbie Huisman: "I enjoy telling stories and that's also how I mix tracks in a set. In this selection I wanted to incorporate experiment, while at the same time making it danceable and emotional. Discovering artists like Maga was so cool, I would have liked to use even more of his tracks. On the sly I also used quite a lot of tracks from the compilations."

Label owner : "I decided to ask several people to dig deep into the vast Esc.rec catalogue and make a mix of their favourite tracks. Their fresh pairs of ears will no doubt have you listening and (re-)discovering tracks that are buried deep in the catalogue, but haven't lost their shine."
