A leader of the Portuguese wave in techno co-founding Hayes Collective while boasting acclaimed releases on Klockworks, Blueprint, and Soma, Temudo grabs the reins to take club music back to its days of audacity and risk taking. A more than promising up-and-comer turned modern reference, Temudo defends his reputation with a release showcasing depth in his various sonic universes and a deep understanding of his music’s history. For its seventh release, Temudo’s ‘Meteora’ is a logical next step for the club’s direction - a sweet spot between dancefloor efficiency and enduring aesthetic.

Combining the intrigue of mental soundscapes with the reliability of imposing rhythm, ‘Meteora’ finds itself collected, expressing effect through restraint. The title track, claiming the EP’s A1, is just that - a force of interweaving sound design and powerful micro transitions. Some believe the best techno records are able to express emotion and attitude despite its dissonant and machinelike nature; if that’s the case then Temudo has mastered the craft. ‘When I Grow Up’, however, puts the focus back on the body. What sounds like warbling tape modulation over a percussive lead makes this record an addictively delirious ride from start to finish, fitting in with the track before while shifting to different priorities. Proving his versatility, ‘Vrthng’ at first seems reminiscent of the minimal Berlin style with a higher pace, but quickly progresses into something intensely euphoric. With experience and measure, an out of the box approach can really pay off, and the added emotion in ‘Vrthng’ is certainly a turning point in the EP. This mindset is clearly carried over in the project’s conclusion : ‘It’s Always Past’. A surprising use of harmony and storytelling, this final chapter ends with Temudo sealing his style with confidence. The track is mystified by its chords, ending ‘Meteora’ with a question mark that leaves us in anticipation for what Temudo dares to do next.

VARIA PREMIERE: Kosaa - Ball Antistress [DSM001]

Crisis Of Man welcomes back Brooklyn-native Alex Hoffman, aka Brälle, under his deeper, more introspective alias Gentian. Where Brälle ventures into darker and more cerebrally intense realms, Gentian takes the opposite route, instead focusing on deeper, more melancholic, and euphoric techno. This is the true sound of melodic techno.

Patrick Scuro – ALL IN - Four years after founding Animarum Recordings, Patrick Scuro delivers his most ambitious project to date – his debut album “ALL IN”. A journey through 7 genres – from deep melodic moments to peak-time bangers, mainstage weapons, hard techno destruction and euphoric bounce/trance energy. This album marks the unification of all his previous aliases – Scuro Black, BouncyScuro and Pat Sundaze – into one artist identity: Patrick Scuro. ALL IN is more than just a collection of tracks – it’s a personal statement. Emotional breakdowns, power drops, hands-in-the-air anthems – each track reflects a different side of his soul. From the cinematic melodic opener Sontag to relentless high-BPM closers like Dance Again and Dangerous, the album captures the full spectrum of what he calls Soul Techno and Soul Trance. This is Patrick Scuro – no boundaries, no compromises. ALL IN. “Techno & Trance For Your Soul” | #soultechno #soultrance
