A1 from ARCS-04, the upcoming 12" by Cassegrain.
•••
In quick succession to ARCS-03, which boasted remixes by The Mover, Shifted and Peder Mannerfelt, Cassegrain keep up the pressure with a new EP of originals on ARCS-04.

Returning to their tunnelling hypnotic trademark sound over three focused, club-ready trips, the Arcing Seas heads channel varied and irrepressible moods into each track. Built on solid dancefloor foundations and rich in colourful, non-conventional sound design, they scan through tribal ritualism with A side 'Shahmaran', moving to the pumping urgency of 'Caracal' and the rolling post-acid workout of 'Vulpine'.

ARCS-04 is a straight-up DJ-friendly 12'', something that's conveyed in the record’s more minimalist artwork. The sleeves have been hand-screen printed in Berlin by Alex from Cassegrain.

South African-born DJ Euphony approaches techno as an immersive experience. His sets lean into tension, precision, and dynamic interplay—favoring focus over flash. Underground in spirit, he channels the weight and rigor of techno’s deeper currents.

Arcing Seas is an anagram of Cassegrain. It started out as a secret alias but after deciding to start a label, it finally made sense to bring the two together.

= ARCING SEAS

Translated from Lithuanian Vėlės means: spirits of dead ancestors. Ravaged by age long wars, Vėlės channels the wrath of their fallen kin into pumping techno wardrums with dark and distorted tones.
