Two of the most sizzling talents in the scene, Vilchezz and REFORMIST, unite their prowess for an extraordinary 6-track split EP.

Vilchezz has been on an upward trajectory over the past year, boasting monumental releases on esteemed labels such as KIKI's Slash label, RI7MO, and Beluga Tracks, among others. His three-track contribution to the EP serves as a testament to the evolution of his sound, now instantly recognizable.

Fresh off his EP release last month on fellow Aussie label Green Roll, REFORMIST has been making waves with remarkable self-releases in recent months. Delving into a new sound that blends garage elements with his signature techno style, his offering in this release offers a glimpse into the future direction of his productions.

The Architects of Shadows explores the volatile undercurrents shaping today’s polarized world, where extremes on all sides vie for influence and control. Against a backdrop of rising nationalism, digital echo chambers, and deepening distrust, each track captures a stage in the gradual radicalization of society. Through dark, immersive soundscapes, the album delves into how unseen architects exploit fear, amplify division, and pull the strings of public sentiment, leading society toward ideological extremes. The Architects of Shadows invites listeners to confront the forces behind the fracturing of Western societies in an era marked by profound political and cultural polarization.

ANNĒ & SERA J return for the second edition of their Symbiosis series on Mutual Rytm. 

ANNĒ, known for potent techno on the likes of Soma and Hardgroove, and Nechto and Life In Patterns associate Sera J, have had standout years that have seen them put out a stream of essential club tracks. They are partners in both life and music, and the first volume of ‘Symbiosis’ on SHDW's Mutual Rytm imprint was their first release together. Delivering an honest representation of their innermost feelings, having also contributed to the label's ‘Federation Of Rytm III’ VA in February, this new six-track EP (plus bonus cuts) presents a ‘mature and refined connection between their souls’. 

The second instalment of 'Symbiosis' reflects not only their deep personal connection, but also their collaborative synergy as musical peers with the same goals. The EP captures the essence of their mutual artistic journey and showcases the strength of their bond both in life and through their shared creative vision - to create a storyline through sounds coming from their souls and convey a narrative that many listeners may find relatable. 

SERA J kicks off with the lithe and melodically elegant techno of ‘Your Soul Is Art’ which will have both heart and heels dancing. ‘Illusions’ is a more heavy and dubby cut with paired back grooves and pulsing synths, while ‘Glacial Pace’ is an urgent deep techno roller with turbocharged stabs and huge icy hi hats locking you into a trance. 

ANNĒ steps up on the B-side with ‘Floating Waves’ exploring physical, chunky drum funk and raw synth textures. ‘Planetary Dust’ is a dark and moody astral techno journey to the stars, before ‘Sweet Seventeen’ brings a more melodic cut with a sense of hope and joy in the bright pads that shimmer above the glitchy grooves. 

Both artists also offer two digital bonus cuts with SERA J's ‘Syncrosonix’ and ‘Space Velocity’ delivering perfectly reduced minimal techno monsters, while ANNĒ’s ‘Gentle Loop’ and ‘Starburst’ are interplanetary trips with widescreen cosmic synths.

Tracklist:
1.	Abyss
2.	Time
3.	I Can't Shine
4.	The Bad Place
5.	Unchanged
6.	Voice In My Head	
7.	Eternity

Born in Marseille and based in Paris, Hemka has been shaping her take on techno for over a decade, steadily growing her international presence with music on respected imprints such as Token. Her music fuses the raw energy of 90s techno with modern textures and is fast-paced, groovy and laced with subtle psychedelia. By weaving in her own vocals, Hemka adds a deeply personal and authentic layer that resonates with both the body and mind. Following the strong reception of her track 'Fragrance' on the ‘Federation Of Rytm III’ compilation, this potent new EP is a powerful reflection of her bold, emotional and forward-thinking artistic voice and the start of an exciting new chapter with SHDW’s Mutual Rytm.

‘Abyss’ kicks off with tightly coiled, heavy-hitting drum funk and eerie synths that never let up while ghoulish vocals layer in extra darkness and anxiety. ‘Time’ is another sleek, stripped-back but banging wedge of linear techno excellence and ‘I Can't Shine’ layers up paranoid vocals with high-speed glitches and rubbery drums to ensure maximum impact in the club. The excellence continues with ‘The Bad Place’ with booming drums and moody synth atmospheres, getting you up on your toes and keeping you there. Last, ‘Unchanged’ fizzes with static electricity as wordless vocals refract around the mix next to wispy synths and icy hi-hats. Digital bonus cuts ‘Voice In My Head’ and ‘Eternity’ round things out with more heady and intense techno for driving deep into the night.

Introspection

Premiere: Hemka — I Can't Shine [MR035]

Maltese talent Human Safari debuts on Mutual Rytm with jazz-influenced techno EP, ‘Culture Shock’.

Human Safari is a key player in his native scene in Malta. He’s a resident at Glitch Festival, has played cult spots, and has a dynamic sound that brings jazz improvisation to techno, often featuring live instrumental elements. His music has found its place on top labels like R&S Records, and most of this new EP for SHDW’s Mutual Rytm imprint was produced during his Colombian summer tour last year - written and recorded amongst inspiring and unusual settings with just a laptop and headphones.

“This EP represents embracing new beginnings that, though might bring uncertainty and fear, the light always guides you to where you were always meant to be.” - Human Safari.

Opener ‘Mouse on Keys’ has been a key cut for the label boss across the past year, a unique track that peaks curiosity from dancers to DJs whenever it’s played. Its cantering techno rhythm is overlaid with delicate, heartfelt piano keys straight from a smoky jazz bar, making for a great counter to the physical drums. ‘Fragments’ is a deeply personal track dedicated to the artist’s late grandfather. It's a funky, soulful techno roller with blissed-out and sunny chords full of hope.

Next, ‘Classique’ gets more gritty with loopy drums and bass and glitchy percussion that fizzes with energy, while ‘The Labyrinth’ features piano motifs recorded in just one take. It brings a dark paranoia in the uneasy, off-grid keys which dart about with nervous energy over the booming low ends. There is just as much intensity and edge to the unresolved keys that loop over the raw drums on ‘A Rainy Day in Bogota’, before digital bonus cuts ‘Dorian’ and ‘Phantom’ bring more jazzed out techno madness with warped keys and expressive elements bringing great invention.

Human Safari ‘Culture Shock’ lands on Mutual Rytm on 18th July 2025.
