Contempo proudly presents the highly anticipated EP by Luigi Madonna, "Duality", a powerful exploration of the deeper and rawer dimensions of techno, enriched with hypnotic elements.

The renowned Italian techno artist and label founder, Luigi Madonna, has been an influential figure on the global scene for decades, celebrated for his dynamic performances and distinctive sound. As the driving force behind Contempo, Luigi Madonna continually pushes the boundaries of the genre, merging raw energy with hypnotic grooves. His recent releases on the esteemed Planet Rhythm label have further solidified his signature raw sound, earning support from many prominent artists in the scene.

"Duality" EP embodies the heart and soul of Contempo’s vision, reinforcing the label’s commitment to innovative techno that balances deep, hypnotic textures with powerful, pulsating rhythms.

The EP opens with "Foresight," creating an intense atmosphere with pulsating basslines and carefully layered synths, perfectly primed for peak-time euphoria. "Zonder" continues with hypnotic loops and gritty percussion, building a groove that gradually intensifies and deepens. The title track "Duality," stands out with engaging synth rhythms and haunting atmospheres, becoming a reference point for dark, late-night club environments. Finally, "Deep Depth" closes the EP, combining powerful bass with atmospheric textures, blending raw intensity with introspective depth, ensuring this release resonates strongly across various techno settings.

SHDW presents ‘Federation Of Rytm IV’: a bumper 30-track collection spanning the past, present, and future of techno.

Offering powerful standalone club cuts and a cohesive deep-dive, the expansive VA lands on 24th October 2025.
The fourth edition of SHDW’s flagship ‘Federation Of Rytm’ VA series has been carefully curated by the DJ/ producer and head honcho over more than a year, with close attention to detail given to sequencing. It is a balance of label regulars and debutants that represents the past, present, and future, both sonically and through the generational diversity of the artists involved. There are plenty of surprises along the way while always remaining true to the Mutual Rytm ethos and reflecting the journey of the night from start to finish, whether that's in intimate, sweaty clubs or on big festival stages.

"I’ve lived with most of these tracks for over a year, testing them on the dancefloor and fine-tuning the selection. Each comes from artists I deeply admire, making this compilation a snapshot of the label’s evolution and a glimpse of what’s next. ‘Federation Of Rytm IV’ celebrates connection across generations, while capturing the sounds that inspire me most — telling a story from start to finish.” – SHDW.

Across 30 tracks in the digital collection and 24 on four sides of wax, the release explores the full breadth of the Mutual Rytm sound. Driving grooves and relentless percussion set the pace, gradually unfolding into hypnotic and atmospheric passages that invite deeper immersion. Pulsating low-end power alternates with eerie minimalism, while bursts of futuristic energy and cavernous kick drums keep the tension high. Elsewhere, dub textures and moments of introspection provide balance, creating a narrative arc that moves fluidly between intensity and release, atmosphere and tension, darkness and light.

‘Federation Of Rytm IV’ lands as a 4x12” vinyl package and digitally via Mutual Rytm on 24th October 2025.
