***** AUGMENTED REALITY COVER *****

For the third release on Dust In Grooves, Olivia Mendez curates a compilation EP that honours the boundary pushing spirit of the vinyl-only imprint and presents a collection of mind bending tracks by emerging and established techno producers. The first VA instalment on DIG showcases adventurous, challenging, and dynamic cuts while maintaining the groovy and raw signature sound of the label. Bridging the analog format with a forward thinking design is the animated cover created by visual artist Deniz Biçer, she is also known as Ojelibalon.

LKY - Bitter
Bitter by Manchester based producer LKY is a direct immersion in the atmospheric depths conveyed within a minimalistic tool track. With trippy loops and changing beats, this opener leaves a bitter taste of the sweaty, trance-infused 90s.

Deluka - R.A.W
R.A.W glistens with a mind-bending sound design, produced by the No Signal Records founder Deluka. He delivers a visceral, hypnotising track with quirky highs and stomping, rhythmic lows, captivating the attention all throughout the end.

Metapattern - Tamakotuma
On the B side, the relentlessly driving and layered Tamakotuma by Metapattern, beams with melting synths, intense rhythm and skewed melodies. After joining the Mord and HAYES families, Metapattern contributes a dynamic track with evolving retro-futuristic design, journeying across dimensions.

Dotdat - Take me to Detroit
An homage to the roots of timeless sound and community, Take me to Detroit by Dot Dat is a soothing dance-floor energy tamer, filled with melodic arpeggios and spacious drums. After his release on Truncate records, Dot Dat closes out the DIG VA with a slower-paced track, laced with classic synths.

BRÄLLE - Overthrow (Declan James Remix)

Minimal beats, layering mixing tools, meditative audio frequencies—whatever you want it can become. get focus - Let the noise of life find its rhythm and make sense.

Focus pt. II

Sinistermind - Focus V

Forged under pressure. Hexforge is raw energy refined into precision — a high-tech, industrial-tinged techno weapon built for late hours and heavy systems. Hammer-tight percussion, serrated synth lines, and rolling sub-motion lock the floor in pure propulsion. The groove never relents; it evolves, mutates, and burns hotter with every pass.

Created entirely in Ableton Live 12, Hexforge embodies MIGU’s trademark sound: minimal structure, maximal tension, immaculate design. The drop hits like tempered steel; the breakdown breathes just long enough before the engine roars back.

Intent: transformation — chaos into control, fire into form. Hexforge turns pressure into motion, darkness into rhythm, and sound into architecture.

Specs for DJs:
• BPM: 128 • Key: C Major • Length: 5:00
• Intro/Outro: 32–32 bars (club & mix ready)
• Sub: mono-focused low end for maximum translation on large rigs

Affective EP (2019) – Eine komplett unabhängige Produktion, von der ersten Idee bis zum finalen Mastering vollständig selfmade umgesetzt. Die Songs vereinen rohe Authentizität mit einem detailverliebten Sounddesign und zeigen, wie viel kreatives Potenzial in DIY-Musik steckt. Entstanden ohne äußere Vorgaben, reflektiert die EP eine künstlerische Phase voller Experimentierfreude, persönlicher Weiterentwicklung und dem Anspruch, alles aus eigener Kraft zu erschaffen.
