Vaya que recuerdos 😎 Ancient Methods 👈🏼 Powerfull 💪🏼

Since its emergence the project the has been often labelled as „pitch black techno war funk“ (quoted after an early Boomkat review) and closely associated to what later on would be tagged as the „industrial techno“ – movement. This is possibly due to the radical machine aesthetics Ancient Methods has developed into an unmistakable trademark sound, since more than a decade. However the mechanical framework is – no more, no less – a physical ambassador for a deeper content, there is a profound human emotionality enclosed in the rhythmic shell.

Ancient Methods | Artaphine Series 109

Next on our mix series is @ancient-methods, a cornerstone of the industrial techno movement, whose sound is a testament to the power of texture and unyielding percussive density.

This latest transmission, captured at the Khidi night at Human, is no exception. It's a relentless excavation of the genre's darkest corners—a journey defined by his signature pummeling kicks, clangorous metallic echoes, and the cold, physical energy that has come to define his sound.
