Synthetik Sounds is back for its second installment after debuting on the scene in May 2022 with Ecilo’s Protech The Skyline EP

With Ecilo at the A&R helm, as well as two of Los Angeles’s most revered underground brands, 6AM and Synthetik Minds, spearheading its mission, Synthetik Sounds is now an established home for techno artists whose sound remains true to the ethos of underground techno.

Protech The Skyline affirmed the label’s intention of acting as a platform for artists whose output leans both on deep, hypnotic techno as well as darker, and harder shades of the genre. This second EP, entitled Rooted In Reality and courtesy of Los Angeles artist Stephen Disario, further cements Synthetik Sounds’ other goal of building bridges between North America, Europe, Asia and beyond.

The title track opens affairs as a carefully-crafted minimalistic groover, building in intensity ever-so-slightly as layers of percussion build on top of each other. Next up, “Time” takes off where “Rooted In Reality” left off, continuing its progression until it reaches peak-time rhythm as spatial, trippy soundscapes kick in. Here, Disario brings listeners down to earth in brilliant fashion, giving a few seconds of respite before kicking the track into overdrive once more.

The EP continues with the aptly named “6AM,” a track inspired by the late night or early morning hours, depending on which way you decide to look at it. Picture yourself in a packed, jacking and dark warehouse, as the first beams of sunlight begin seeping in through the cracks, and then imagine the perfect track to soundtrack those moments: that’s “6AM” for you, inspired by the countless Los Angeles warehouse moments Stephen Disario has shared with ravers in his years as a track selector and event curator.

Closing off the four-tracker is the high-intensity delivery that is “Blinker Situation.” A crescendo of percussion and an underlying subtle siren build anxiety and anticipation before diving down a rabbit hole of hypnotic, mental modulations.

Unissued Series Part 2 consists of 3 tracks with varying vibes and atmospheres, united by their distinct yet driving low ends.

Often times when preparing for a mix or club night I put a lot of focus on the low ends of tracks, as I see it as the prime mover of ones body. The natural progression of these various low end forces is something I like to pay particular attention to, especially in a club environment. The mid and high end characteristic of tracks is what lets me disconnect on a mental level. Ranging from repetitiveness madness to emotional atmospheres, these 3 tracks have the ability to draw you in physically while letting go mentally.

PREMIERE - Slam - Electrical - Soma Records

taken from

Slam - Quiet Riot EP - Soma Records

Slam return on their Soma Records label, with the Quiet Riot EP. 

2020 has been a very prolific year for the the duo, delivering their 4th EP for the label so far this year. All their firing trademark sounds and intricacies remain intact in this 3 track hard hitting release. 

Severed opens with hard, industrial elements as the relentless percussion fires off, but in true Slam style the vibe remains hypnotic and engaging. Motor drifts into more Birmingham-esq  territory with twitch and modulating sequences leading the way again straight, jacked up percussion. Intensifying things on the last track, Electrical turns up the drive and delivers tension with white knuckle percussive workouts, thundering kicks and dynamic synths.
