When The Machines Are Unplugged: Finally Rest by Theiz

Theiz returns to EPM in their 25th year with his sixth release on the label. A heartfelt EP of emotional electronics, dedicated to his late father-in-law.

When The Machines Are Unplugged: Finally Rest by Theiz

Dutch producer Mathijs Schippers (aka Theiz), now Belgium-based, while honoring his early '90s roots, has gained steady traction through the 2020s with releases on Belgium's Crossfadesounds, Iceland's Móatun7, Canada's Stasis Recordings, and a steady home at EPM Music. He continues crafting evocative music that blends soulful techno with ambient, dub, and broken-beat influences.

When The Machines Are Unplugged; Finally Rest is my way of processing the passing of my father in law, who found peace after decades of psychological suffering and a final coma. My music often transforms what happens around me into sound - not to impose that emotion on the listener but to offer a space where others might find something they need, just as I did while creating it.

The EP starts with the uncoiling, dappled warmth of "Sunrise Dub" before "Play The Game" takes us even deeper into the calming embrace of Theiz's machines. Then we up the tempo with the more dancefloor-focused "It's Raining Stars," and finally the title track, "When The Machines Are Unplugged: Finally Rest," injects a sharper edge into the glowing sonic palette.
