  • Deetron is getting ready to launch his own label, Character. The Swiss purveyor of soulful techno and house is already known for his longstanding connection with Belgium's Music Man Records, for which he's produced two albums and more than a dozen other singles and EPs. In recent years he's also appeared on the likes of Aus Music and Crosstown Rebels, and last month, his contribution to the fabric mix series saw release. His next endeavor, Character, "will be a platform for recordings beyond the confines of one particular genre," according to a press release. The label's first record is Mars, a two-tracker from Deetron's Roots Panorama collaboration with fellow countryman Ripperton. Mars looks to have the duo sticking to a process used for their 2011 release Threee on Versatile: after jamming together in the studio, the two artists individually went to work with the recording of the session to form their own versions. The press release describes Deetron opting for a "melodic and bright" interpretation and Ripperton getting "deeper" and "darker" with his effort. Tracklist A Mars (Deetron Panorama Version) AA Mars (Ripperton Roots Version) Character will release Mars on September 1st, 2014.
