After the success of Mija Recordings’ first release, Android Cartel - Notorious Saints EP, with the Alan Fitzpatrick remix gaining a license to Emerson Todd‘s forthcoming “Electric” DJ Compilation on EQ Recordings, the label rolls on with an excellent release from Northern Ireland’s Celtec Twinz.

When some bright spark at BBC Radio 1 described the Celtec Twinz as - “Technasia meets Underworld for a pint of Guinness” - they may have unwittingly hit the nail on the head. Twin brothers Mark and Richie Thompson have been producing and pushing their own sound for several years.

Now, with their superb debut release for Louis Osbourne’s new Mija Recordings, they have delivered two stunning tracks that are true to their roots. Both “Sorbit Orbit” and “Keralan Skies” are exceptional examples of exactly why Celtec Twinz are held in such high regard in the global techno community.

First up on remix duty is Jamie Anderson, who has been a pioneer on the global tech house & techno scenes for over 15 years. This past year has seen his partnership with Deepgroove aka Deepgroove & Jamie Anderson, land them releases on Cocoon, Rekids and Harthouse. Jamie is also working on a project for the fourth release on Mija Recordings with vocals by the Chicago Acid House legend K-Alexi. Watch out for that! In the meantime check his stripped-back, funked-up, latin, percussion fest remixes of “Sorbit Orbit”.

Jamie’s remix has been gaining huge support with Carl Cox playing it on his Global Radio show (show 345), and Richie Hawtin playlisting it (see Richie’s Twiiter feeds Oct 24th / 25th).

Bringing this outstanding Celtec Twinz package to a close is none other than the mighty Psycatron. Having spent the past seven years hosting their residency at Shine and the Stiff Kitten in Belfast (N Ireland), where they’ve supported some of the biggest DJ’s on the planet, 2009 has seen Psycatron emerge as one of the biggest Irish acts of the year as their profile continues to grow on a global scale with every single release and remix. They have taken things to the next level with a string of releases on Fergie’s Rekluse, Christian Smith’s Tronic, Carl Craig’s Planet E sub-label Guilty Pleasures, and Will Saul’s Simple. You can hear what all the fuss is about when you check their deeply hypnotic remix of “Keralan Skies” here.

“Sorbit Orbit” is only the second step in what is set to be a very strong release schedule for Mija Recordings over the coming months. With singles and remixes coming from the likes of Jamie Anderson, Miniminds, Daniele Papini, M.in, K-Alexi, Reset Robot and Tony Rohr & Alexi Delano, and more to be announced soon, it’s going to be an amazing ride!
