Having already mixed one of the most standout albums in the series, and with his distinction in the global scene still remaining unmatched, it seem only fitting that 1605’s head honcho be the first to return: blending a second round of blistering techno cuts it’s ‘Toolroom Knights Mixed By UMEK 2.0’.

Within 14 huge album exclusives there’s 2 brand new original arrangements from UMEK himself; ‘Love To Dance’ offers a quirky, different funky groove, while ‘Fluid Feel’, an exclusive collaboration with fellow countryman Mike Vale, takes things down a techier route. Keeping the flair high throughout 2 DJ mixes, this is a hard rolling assault of an album that takes in all the different shades of UMEK’s brand of electronic music.

Other highlights include new and exclusive material: from Ant Brooks’ tough n rolling ‘Blasted’ to Koen Groeneveld’s heavy and experimental ‘Blue Stratos’; from the punchy tight beats of Siwell’s ‘Tech This Out’, to the funky clean journey of ‘Just Clipper’ exclusively from Guille Placencia & George Privatti. Plus complementing the journey there’s upfront grooves to underground rolling monsters courtesy of Uto Karem, DJ Anna, Simon Doty, Federico Scavo, DJ Chus and many more.

Mixed especially to give you the distinctive feeling only experienced at UMEK’s live shows, this is a unique blend of inspired techno sounds. Featuring a whopping 42 tracks across 2 DJ mixes, ‘Toolroom Knights Mixed By UMEK 2.0’ is the perfect continuation to UMEK’s outstanding contribution to the series.
