_ENACT, Joran van Pol’s imprint, founded in 2021, brings you the third and last part of a techno trilogy, musically reflecting signs of the present time. 

‘Unforgivable’ is again, as can be expected from van Pol, a stark stripped down 132 bpm techno track. The title reflects the decisive and definitive nature of the music. 

‘Unforgivable’ is the last of the ‘Obsidian’ Trilogy. The trilogy is inspired by the dystopian nature of current world events. All three tracks have a sense of restlessness and urgency, reflecting a feeling of inevitability. 
The artwork is again made especially for this track by ‘dotting’ artist Srch_of.

‘Inevitable’ things are rarely comfortable to face, causing a tendency to hide them, to ‘Cloak’ them. For the second installment of the ‘Inevitable’ trilogy, Joran delivers a subdued yet decisive techno production. The percussive and relentless sounds are accompanied by an eerie string sound.

When we refrain from facing ‘Inevitable’ things and ‘Cloak’ them instead of resolving them, they become heavy. No longer at the surface, the things we carry with us become a ‘Burden’. The last installment of this trilogy offers a more sound design-oriented approach. Using a Moog in an unconventional way, Joran creates ear-tickling sounds combined with his ever-minimalistic yet stark approach to techno.

About Joran van Pol: 
Techno DJ/producer Joran van Pol has a somewhat special story. His debut release ‘Untitled 2’  was signed to Richie Hawtin’s Minus, followed by Joran's seminal release 'Faded'. Where do you go from there? Well, with the ‘Implicit E.P.’ on Dubfire’s Sci+Tec, several releases on Joris  Voorn’s label Rejected, a remix, and full E.P. ’Immediate E.P.’ on Matador’s Rukus and a collab with Maksim Dark ‘Thrill’ on Senso Sounds. ‘Derelict’ on Second State was added in 2020. 
About Srch_of:  
“Everything around you is a reflection of your own, you are the storyteller, the projector of all dreams. The work that I create is closely linked to the beauty and the dark side of the human mind. 
The technique that I use for creating the art is based on pointillism, every dot exists out of black ink. For the artwork of JVP, we have used the same authentic technique and finally digitalized it. It is my obligation to feed the creative monster that has lived with me since birth.” https://www.instagram.com/srch_of/
