REQUIEM by Shamus Coghlan

Digging deep and with a slightly slower BPM I present to you Requiem. This is a bit more towards the Dub Techno side but with some heavy modulations that should dig you deep.
Requiem was done with a deep focus on analog delays, analog synths, and something for the mind to explore.

Combined forces on a very special collaboration with Sean Tate on Remember Why You Started Records RWYS 005 this was pressed to vinyl. Vinyl was mastered by the legendary Simon with myself helping get the digital files mastered with Paul Mac. We all agreed to make the artists sound the best and fullest over the loudest. In short the louder it is played the better it sounds.

The vinyl includes some very talented artists and exceptional and unique releases that must not be missed. If you love Techno, and especially Detroit style techno you owe it to yourself to grab a very limited edition of this vinyl.

Thunder Bay EP

In this modern world of technology it truly is a marvel that we can share our music across the world for all to hear in basically the same high quality that came out of the studio monitors. Yes I do have good monitors and acoustics so what I make here in the Magix Snap Studio is very close to what the final art should be. No loss in generations, tapes not being calibrated correctly, lacquers changing the sound due to the physical limitations but rather an exact representation with out middle men and incompatible costs not to mention compromises.

The Thunder Bay EP marks a change and direction in acknowledging where I come from, why I make the music I do and subtly pays homage to a part of my heritage. IT IS about the MUSIC and having it accessible to anyone who wants to appreciate this in the least compromised format(s).

Working closely with Paul Mac on the mastering I believe we have achieved some of my best sounding music to date. The Buzz EQ Paul used seemed to be the perfect tool to help us achieve a dynamic and not compressed sound scape that stretches wide, deep, with all the subtleness of the analog gear used. No question the acoustics in the studio have helped greatly to achieve a more accurate mix also and an great ROI but being able to send files back and fourth in perfect quality is no small change in the progression of how far we have come as a society.

Collaborating with the best people around the world to help push music and art forwards well not forgetting the important values quality is what this EP is about well being it accessible on all streaming services.

Aurora Borealis:
Dance Floor Big Warehouse banging techno track to bring it home for that (“just one more”) end of the party feeling. ENCORE!!

Space Odyssey LP by Shamus Coghlan

Many years have passed since the dawning of my Space Odyssey. At least two years had passed from the finishing of Full Of Stars. Full of Stars was the spark in me that said you are now going to start this LP. At that time I only vaguely knew I was moving towards the Space Odyssey but after the second track it had become pretty clear this was the direction I was going with the help of my influencers.

Countless days and nights getting the gear to sequence with the effects and delays until the pictures for each of the Sequences came to life. That special moment where the music is no longer something you are making but part of a larger energy that your are privy to be part of. It is very hard to explain that energy but you will know when you are there as it shows there is something greater than us that we can tap into when we devote all our passion and hone our skills.

This journey brought in my deepest thoughts on the whole process of my music production. With (807) Recordings I made the mission statement “To Destroy Mediocrity”. This really came into question this time with trying to get the vinyl ready for release.

With high costs of pressing vinyl, and the artwork still somehow not being formatted correctly to go to press it left us in the position of should I release the vinyl. A hard question indeed, with many nights pondering this. Not because I think vinyl is superior but more to the point that I had designed the LP to the vinyl format and journey that brings.

Sitting down, falling into the groove of Deep Space and how each track moves into each other then ends, to the hanging moment of turning the record over and moving into Outer Space was all part of the Sequencing and thought put into the LP. Even how loud we cut the LP and playing times to maximize the absolute loudest cuts with zero compression all came into this process. Is it a case of the sum of the parts are greater than the machine? I still stand firm there is something special about the process and need to commit in the analog domain that brings this true.

Still with that said I believe though one can not argue out of ignorance the fact that many more people should have access to this release digitally and with out borders. There was no expense taken on the digital side either. One can not imitate the art produced here over the years with simple shortcuts and everyone involved I applaud you as your experiences and hard work show.

So please come along with me on this Space Odyssey and thank you for listening and being part of the experience.

A Special Thanks to:

Simon Davies: at The Exchange London for mastering and cutting this LP. Simon did a truly excellent job and although I feel the digital is absolutely stellar the vinyl is just IMAX on Film.

Something special there!

Paul Mac: who worked with Simon to first get the Digital ready before cutting and digital masters did an absolutely excellent job and really tied into my vibe straight away. No Compression, none of that making it loud just to be loud stuff here. Just nice deep extractions of the inner grooves.

Vergel Evans: With out you bro this thing would likely sit another 4 year until we got no artwork done. It is funny how we have all these people we know who are friends, and graphics artists that seem to be nowhere around when needed. You got my vision and we will sort out the pressing to 🙂 No Question why you are my Best Man.

Family: My wife Julia of course for putting up with me all these years in our former flat in Dresden with gear all over the place, and Padraig my now 4 year old son who’s coming and birth made me realize the truly important things in life. That includes locking the studio door as truly excellent patches are lost forever. And of course all the Snaps as with out them we would not have had so many life experiences to keep us inspired.

All Moms and Dad’s also as it is because of you I am here and with these questionable talents. You know this stuff didn’t come from nowhere and with my own son I understand what you had to deal with in me all that much more now. And the Dresden mom for putting us up after we got married until well we had been between flats.

Sean Tate, Thanks for supporting and keeping the music going. Don’t think the quality doesn’t matter 😉

Dimitri Pike, you still are the number one DJ and the one who makes my tracks sound better in a mix than anyone. Matter of fact you make any mix better. Keep at it !

Finally to all the ones who worked against me, thank you for giving me the inspiration. I tend to ride better up hills than on a flat land.

Sean Tate: Matter of Creation (remix by Shamus Coghlan)

It has been a real pleasure to work with Sean on this release and have my remix be on vinyl. Mastering was done with Simon at The Exchange in London and the sonics speak for themselves. Simply a real techno banging album with a fresh and unique sound thanks to Sean. If you don’t have it get out and get the limited edition coloured vinyl well you can.
Sean Tate Matter of Creation

First Two Videos: “Docking Procedure” and “Distance”

There has been some new sounds happening in the background with Shamus well he is working on some new material. Not to be strictly dance floor in these two tracks/songs but more of a sonic journey. Yes there is a time to play with the eyes and ears together and something to hopefully expose more of the techno music. The two new videos linked below where shot, edited, by Shamus himself. They include time lapse flights from Toronto to Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada in Docking Procedure and the TGV train footage from the Journey starting in Munich-Paris, then Paris- Marseille, and a final stop in Dresden. If you are watching carefully you may notice it is all in reverse 😉

The Docking procedure is time lapse, well the Distance video is actual real-time speeds of the TGV. Both where shot with iPhone video and edited in Final Cut Pro X.

Sound in the studio for the music was done with Korg Volca Beats, Elektron Analog Four, Eventide Effects and Plugins. Lots of Analog there captured at 24bit 96KHz.

Please enjoy and thanks for checking them out.

(807) Recordings second release brings back the dedication of Shamus Coghlan’s quest to Destroy Mediocrity.

Fast paced and layered with analog modulation this sets the pace of those who dare to be tested.

Technophile EP :: Truth Serum

Technophile EP :: 180 Grams

180 Grams brings even the most hardened of “Technophiles” back home. With a BIG warehouse jacking beat, layered with deep, dark, cold war Sci-fi sounds you will be into Coghlan’s fantasy . With the same passion that started (807) Recordings this release digs in and farther in a dedication to the “Technophile”.


Short Intro

“… there were these black boxes with names like JBL and Cerwin on them … and some guy named Shamus took these 12” round plates from a box and placed them randomly on 3 of these silver rotating machines … the blue box in the middle his hands and fingers were all over, was the mixer and he was in the zone … I don’t know … I can only recall that there were waves and waves of sound cutting right into you, right through you … every sound had its own character … there were these random flowing personalities being revealed in each of them … then merged into another sound, then another new sound comes through … really tripnotic … and for some reason we were all able to see Shamus come alive as he moved and tweaked each button on the machines, like it was all in the palm of his hands … I felt possessed and emotions ran on many tangents … I turned around and asked my friend what it was we were listening to, he said this was “un-apologetic techno at its best …”
