Deep Techno and Hypnotic Techno are subgenres of techno that focus on creating immersive, atmospheric soundscapes, with an emphasis on subtle, minimalistic changes that draw listeners into a trance-like state. Here's a description of each:

Deep Techno:

Characteristics: Deep Techno is known for its emphasis on atmospheric elements, layered textures, and minimal, slow-evolving beats. The tracks often feature subtle, dub-influenced basslines, creating a meditative or introspective experience. The soundscapes are vast, giving the music a feeling of depth and space, and the rhythms are less intense than other techno subgenres, making it ideal for long, immersive listening sessions.

Vibe: It has a reflective, moody, and often melancholic feel, providing a sense of mental escape through hypnotic repetition and warm, enveloping sounds.


Hypnotic Techno:

Characteristics: Hypnotic Techno takes the repetition and minimalism of techno to an extreme, focusing on creating loops that are subtly modified over time. The tracks tend to build slowly, with layers of percussion, atmospheric pads, and droning basslines. There are few, if any, dramatic changes, and the purpose is to keep the listener in a state of mental flow.

Vibe: Hypnotic Techno is ideal for zoning out and focusing, as it relies heavily on consistent rhythm and understated melodic shifts that gradually evolve over time, creating a trance-like, hypnotic effect.


Similarities:

Both genres focus on creating deep, entrancing rhythms that are immersive rather than aggressive. They are designed for long sets, where the listener can lose track of time and fall into the flow of the music, which is why they are popular in underground techno scenes and long-format DJ sets.

Mutual Rytm welcomes back Swiss DJ/producer Chlär for a bustling, high-octane return as he unveils his latest six-track EP, ‘Intrinsic Drive’. 

Swiss artist and mastering engineer Chlär’s last outing on Mutual Rytm, his ‘Optimized Grooves’ EP, was a stand- out success that made an impact far and wide across the techno realm. It was another big step for the fast-rising producer, who is also a dexterous DJ that plays across three and even four decks in the club. A craftsman of sounds, his take on techno is full throttle and has come on labels like Iceland’s NIX and Stranger’s Self Reflektion imprint. Always looking to improve his sounds, he hits a perfect sweet spot with a fresh and visionary approach across six fresh productions with his ‘Intrinsic Drive’ EP, again showcasing exemplary creative progression in his ever-impressing production skills. 

Up first is ‘Dopamine Rush’, a quickened techno pumper with synths peeling off the straight-ahead drums and locking you into a state of hypnosis. The title track ‘Intrinsic Drive’ is a tightly woven mix of drums, hits and bass that never lets up, while the supple rhythm is overlaid with alien sound designs to up the intensity. ‘For Marco’ takes a heavier path with darkened and more weighty kick drums under eerie synth loops. There is a real swing in the drums of ‘Steady Pace’ as the crisp hits and vocal fragments all up the ante, before ‘Greedy Man’ delivers a tough panel beater with skewed synths and an industrial undertone. Digital bonus ‘May I Dance?’ rounds things out with raw textures and unhinged loops that take you to the heart of a strobe-lit dance floor, shaping up another mighty fine statement of intent from the ever more vital Swiss native. 

Chlär ‘Intrinsic Drive’ drops via Mutual Rytm on 4th August 2023.

ENGLISH

We are glad to introduce you this Bandcamp exclusive release available on pre-order vinyl and digital, from label owner Oscar Mulero, offering us four cuts of precise and expertly crafted techno.

Transparent ray relies on a cosmic sequenced line, growing and evolving over a dry kick drum while additional percussive layers run on top. Solarized starts with a solid groove and gated synth sounds that change in shape as the minutes go. Liquid but raw at the same time.

Opposite is built upon an asymmetrical beat combining digital bleeps and filtered 808 snares spiced with delays and reverbs, a mixing tool in essence.
As a digital bonus track, Generator, fat bass drums, continuous percussive components in various layers, plus occasional synth action. 

Four cuts that interacts one with each other, made to be combined, frequency melted in expert dj sets.
