Magnificent track. Cannot wait for the EP

Release Date: 05.04.2024

SHDW’s Mutual Rytm imprint is back with its third release of 2024, marking a full label debut from 
Sonic Propaganda with their ‘Native’ EP. 

Sonic Propaganda comes from the collaborative minds of Earwax and Rosati, a pair who favour dark and intense 
techno sounds and take inspiration from Jeff Mills and Robert Hood. In the studio, they blend analog and digital 
technologies into smoky warehouse atmospheres and immersive journeys that connect with listeners on an emotive 
level, and this full EP lands following their contribution to the third instalment of the Mutual Rytm’s Federation Of 
Rytm compilation series in February. 

The powerful ‘Native’ opens up at high speed with tightly coiled drum loops that never let up. Sleek metal 
percussive sounds peel off the grooves and lock listeners into a perfect state of hypnosis. ‘Soul Pressure’ is just as 
absorbing, with a tense bassline keeping you on edge as the train-like drums march under incendiary hi-hat ringlets. 
There is plenty of perfect machine funk to ‘Terminal’, which has more rusty synth textures and chopped-up vocal 
fragments humanising the turbulent grooves. ‘Basic Path’ brings an extra skip to the kicks as they enter, scuffed up 
and flowing just above the groove, while vocal pulses and twitchy synth modulations bring the detail. ‘Body Empire’ 
closes the vinyl package with a deeper vibe and pensive synths that add warmth and soul to the brilliantly 
mechanical grooves, while digital bonus ‘Acid Riot’ closes with squelching acid lines amongst a swell of analog 
crunch and laser-sharp percussion. 

Sonic Propaganda ‘Native’ drops via Mutual Rytm on 5th April 2024.
