Heiko Laux & Teo Schulte – “Polyrhythm” out now
BUY NOW ON BEATPORT
Heiko Laux was one of the very first artists to grace the Rejected catalogue with his double-header “Mirabella / Zeitluke” back in 2008. Renowned for his emotional and powerful productions, Heiko is also the owner and driving force behind the legendary German imprint, Kanzleramt.
The success of Heiko and his label is the result of an incredible level of musical consistency and it is this quality that has kept both at the forefront of modern electronic music since 1994. 2011 has seen Laux in imperiously productive form and whilst his techno persona has shone on the likes of Soma, Truesoul and of course Kanzleramt, we have also seen him heading into deeper and slower territory on releases such as “Can’t Unspill The Milk” his co-production with Teo Schulte on Suol.
Teaming up with Teo once again and returning to Rejected for the first time since 004, Heiko presents a stunning trio of mixes of, “Polyrhythm.”
Joris Voorn vs Moby – “After The After” out now
BUY NOW ON BEATPORT | PREVIEW ON SOUNDCLOUD
Amsterdam label, Rejected are proud to announce a special remix of techno pioneer Moby from their very own head honcho, Joris Voorn. The on-fire producer has delivered a brand new re-work of ‘After’ taken from the American stalwart’s tenth studio album, Destroyed which has since seen a series of remix packages through the Little Idiot label. Now, Joris’ remix will be made available through Rejected’s usual digital platforms in addition to a limited edition 12″ vinyl. Taking Moby’s original, Joris injects a club sensibility with rolling bass and punchy beats. Instilling his unique feel for dancefloor-funk, the Dutchman adds plenty of soul to remix, leading the original away from its darkened edge and into the light. Subtle melodies and progressive keys build purposefully throughout the track to deliver yet more party fodder from Joris Voorn and Rejected. This will keep you dancing After the After!!

Carlo Lio – Mike Loves The Horn (Original)
Carlo Lio – Mike Loves The Horn (Edwin Oosterwal’s Twisted Soul Mix)
BUY NOW: http://www.beatport.com/release/mike-loves-the-horn/821184
Rejected look to round out the summer and call in the autumn with a track that has been igniting floors all season for label chiefs Edwin Oosterwal and Joris Voorn. “Mike Loves The Horn” also sees a Rejected debut for two artists who individually have rapidly risen to the top of their game.
Canadian producer and Rawthentic label boss Carlo Lio has enjoyed a whirlwind couple of years. As an artist his sound sits proud within the far reaching realms of Techno and Tech-House. Having spent the summer enjoying the delights of his Barcelona base, he also found time to step into the studio with friends, one of which being, Coyu. Spanish producer Coyu has followed a similar musical trajectory to become one of the most in demand young producers of today. As a label owner he has also seen his Suara imprint go from strength to strength and become a home to many an established name.
“Mike Loves The Horn” finds the pair in full party mode. Borrowing heavily from the legendary Jon Cutler, we are treated to a funky guitar riff, which is soon overpowered by the aforementioned ‘Horn’. Both underpinned by the strongest of kickdrums. Edwin Oosterwal steps up on the remix and takes the original on a twisted run. A blunted filtered bass pulses throughout, backing a fearsome kick drum as the original’s guitar is fed through the wah wah. Fine performances from all involved…It’s yours!
Rejected at Fuel Grand Closing!
Next to their 15 years on stage celebration at Trouw Amsterdam this Saturday. You can also catch Joris Voorn and Edwin Oosterwal together with Eva Maria at the Grand Closing of Beach Club Fuel this Sunday September 18 in Bloemendaal aan Zee. We’re already looking forward to the weekend and we hope to see you there! 
Deetron – “Starblazer” on Rejected!
Whilst we are used to finding the lush anthemic techno of Deetron on our sister label Green. We couldn’t be more excited to be welcoming the Swiss artist today with two fresh cuts and a debut, for Rejected.
More suited a Rejected double-header you will struggle to find, as Deetron delivers in outstanding peak time fashion. “Starblazer” growls and grooves from the off. The snare rolls announce the piano, and we are treated to an escalating riff, culminating in a classic ‘hands in the air’ moment. Bass and piano lead the way on the flip too, as “Solar Surge” certainly brings the heat as its oldskool dubby bassline rolls along and its piercing key riff stab throughout.
Both tracks are set to have a major impact on the summer’s floor, as of course one would expect from Deetron productions.

Nic Fanciulli & Joris Voorn – “Together” out now
Following their blistering opening to the year with Ben Klock & DVS1′s remixes of Rejected’s “For The People”, the Dutch imprint turn to their chief of command and a brace of Fanciulli’s for this, their Fourth release of 2011.
On the A we find Joris Voorn locked in a dream-team combo’ with Rejected regular, Nic Fanciulli. Having reveled in the techno sounds of the labels previous release, “Together” drops us head first, into filter fueled tech-house territory. Oozing summer vibes and lavished with familiar vocal samples, this rolling number is set to take the summer’s terraces by storm…
On the B its the turn of the younger Fanciulli to take center stage. 2011 is set to be a big year for Mark and he kicks thing off in style with his debut Rejected release, “The Tide.” With Joris on the Edit, we are treated to a stripped, sleazy and bass-heavy groove… the hypnotic vocal is the key and instantly whisks us away to our very own electric ladyland… This is one tide that will never be out… Enjoy!
