We are very proud to present this timeless mix crafted by Roger Gerressen exclusively for our Sol Asylum mix Series. Roger, along with the Dilated Pupils, was one of the first artists we have been honored to have on our label. Since then, we have had the pleasure to hear him numerous times at our party in Club Der Visionaere and Hopetosse and we hope you enjoy this eclectically solid mix as much as we do. Roger Gerressen was born in Arnhem (the Netherlands), raised on early 90’s hiphop in Nijmegen. His passion for house music began when he got the chance to warm up crowds on a regular basis at the legendary Planet Rose clubnights, which made his hometown Nijmegen an excellent place to develop his skills as a warm up DJ and to obtain a broad taste in music.

After his first solo releases on the local Wolfskuil Records he co-founded ESHU (and ESHU Records) in 2011. Recognition came after a string of well received solo releases on Fear Of Flying Records (and sub-label SuddenDrop), his many collaborations with Ivano Tetelepta and numerous other collabs (like Dilated Pupils, ARC# and Novio Dub Tribe). A few years down the line it was time for a new direction which resulted in parting ways with ESHU to start his own label OGUN Records and a few monikers (like the recent Monoaware and less recently Gasometric Run) to provide him with the creative freedom he was looking for. Since he joined Paris based Yoyaku (label/store/distribution) he had the chance to release music on a few of the recordstore’s in-house labels like Joule Imprint, Aku and Tartouffe and on the renowned label Sushitech. With their support, he set up two more labels to meet his output; Irenic Records and Autodidact Records. Keep and eye and an ear out for this outstandingly dedicated artist.
