Thirteen EPs and several VA’s make up the story of Marcel Fengler’s IMF label, and the music continues to go from strength to strength. The latest addition to the release catalogue may be one of the strongest to date, featuring a generous number of individual inputs inside a six-track EP. Delivering the goods this time, Stuttgart-based Rove Ranger serves up two sublime stompers, with enigmatic London local The Advent serving up a thumping remix for the first half of this split release. Madrid’s Rodiaz supplies another duo of weighty originals on the second side, backed up by legendary Scotish techno titans Slam. 

Rove Ranger’s ‘Workout’ opens proceedings energetically, revolving around a rolling acid bassline, swirling tonal percussion, offbeat licks, catchy vocal chops and crisp, driven hat grooves to churn out an impressive opening track before The Advent puts his own deeper, darker spin on it, pulling the original track around through a series of envelopes and creative modulations, giving it an entirely different persona. Rove Ranger closes off his side of the release with the breakbeat - laced sounds of ‘Unforgotten’, implementing endless audio width alongside pensive chords, thumping industrial grooves and hollowed-out sub-bass. 

Rodiaz kicks the second half of the EP off with a bang, coming in brutal and fast on ‘Space Methods’ through an array of thudding drum grooves and rattling percussive toppers to form an unconventionally gripping beat structure - subtly accented with minimal melodic components to add endless character to this peak-time bomb. Slam follows up with an archetypally hard-hitting rendition, firing off a relentless assault of weighty kicks, rattling hat grooves and coarse industrial fills, leaving very little room for a breather throughout this tirade of hair-raising tenacity before Rodiaz distills the EP into a close with the groove focused ‘Output Methods’, playing on detuned tonal elements alongside tribal-infused percussion and eerie pads from start to finish.

“Let's Fucking Go!”

Alex Cordova is a force to be reckoned with in the underground music scene, known for his electrifying catchphrase that ignites the crowd's energy every time he steps up to perform. Hailing from Jackson, Wyoming, with roots in Tlaxcala, Mexico, Alex's journey started in the vibrant atmosphere of small house parties and bars. From those incredible beginnings, he gained prominence at the pre-party for the EDM festival "Holi Fest" in Tlaxcala, Mexico. As he returned to his hometown, he meticulously refined his signature sound, transitioning through Trance, Hardstyle, and House, ultimately embracing Techno and Hard Dance Music—his performances radiate rhythmic intensity that captivates every audience.

Now, Alex is boldly leaving Wyoming for Utah, where he's been making waves in the underground scene, performing at local event holders like “eta.45, V2 presents, Blaq Void, Intricacy, Electronic Continuum, and much more” in Salt Lake City. His standout performances, including a notable gig for the underground collective "eta.45," demonstrate his dedication to reviving rave culture. Recently, he delivered an unforgettable set opening for KLOUD at the iconic Masonic Temple, propelling his career to new heights. Since then, he has been instrumental in nurturing fresh talent within the scene, directly supporting luminaries like A*S*Y*S and Greg Downey, and recently taking the stage alongside DØMINA through Blaq Void.

Alex isn't just participating; he’s leading the charge in the local underground community. He's passionate about introducing niche sounds that deserve more attention and is making waves with his new direction towards "Techno in its purest form" or "Cinematic Techno." His powerful music resonates deeply within the community, solidifying his status in the Utah music landscape. The question is not about what more he can do; it’s about how high he can reach.

This is Alex Cordova, and I’m here to unleash Cinematic Techno and Techno in its purest form, creating a scene where we all belong!
