Once a week, Proton Radio selects a special DJ or producer to be its Featured Artist of the Week. Each Wednesday at noon EST, Proton Radio will broadcast the Artist's works. It can be DJ sets or tracks produced or remixed by the Artist. Or possibly both! Read about this week's Featured Artist as you tune in.
Spektre has been associated with Sixteenofive for a while now, in one way or another, so it should come as no surprise that they have chose us to release their awesome new "Sixteen Sins" EP. Fitting right in with our formula and recipe for good techno, we are delighted to have them on board and happy to present their latest opus. Containing two brand new original productions, the EP is further evidence (as if it were needed) of why the boys have become such hot property. Having had a phenomenal run in the last months, from barnstorming, blinding live shows and gigs to heavy support and rotation of their studio work from pretty much every self respecting techno jock, they seem to be going from strength to strentgh. Don't say we didn't warn you!!

We're especially pleased to present a spanking new EP from up and comers Loco and Jam in the form of the "La Surco" EP. For those living in a cave or not paying much attention to the techno radar in the last few months, Loco and Jam are one of the fastest rising production outfits on the scene, making waves with their awesome and versatile productions. On their two track EP containing "La Surco" and "Hex", the guys go straight for the jugular, donning their "peaktime" hats and throwing everything but the kitchen sink into the mix. Pounding rhythms, relentless drum programming, emphatic FX use? Check. Definitely not for the faint of heart and we love it. Enjoy responsibly. On a dancefloor!

"If there was a check list for success, Spektre would have crossed off everything by now. Played gigs all over Europe? Done. Produced lots of strong releases & remixes? Done. Topped the Beatport sales chart? Done. Got support from all the big techno guys - Sven Vath, Dubfire, Stephan Bodzin and Laurent Garnier? Done. Won the respect of their peers? Done (James Zabiela said, "Spektre's music is cool but also fun and highly danceable. These guys are just going to get bigger!") And been featured in Mixmag? Done" - Mixmag
“The homegrown producers tipped to give Berlin’s techno crowd a run for their money” - DJ Mag
"Spektre's productions consist of solid techno that really remembers the rave. Music that is cool but also fun and highly danceable. This guys are just going to get bigger" - James Zabiela
“Spektre have been one of the most consistent and solid production outfits in recent memory and I, for one, have become a huge fan and supporter of their sound. Whether they are producing mad, peak time bombs, or setting dancefloors on fire with their awesome live sets, these guys are definitely ones to watch and a bright shining light for the shape and sound of techno to come!” - Umek
