“La Rave” is a sonic manifesto forged from the most primitive pulse of hard electronic music a piece that breathes emotion, intensity, and perfectly controlled rawness. From the very first seconds, the track reveals its DNA: a sound that merges instinct with precision, driven by the expressive power of its vocals and an atmosphere that envelops the listener in a deep environment saturated with tension and drama.

The production is built upon a universe of reverberant textures and dark layers that evoke the dense, distorted spaces characteristic of dark hard techno. This track does not seek to please; it seeks to possess. Every element from the compact удар of the kick drum to metallic drags and granular effects is carefully crafted to create an expansive, almost cinematic experience that grips from the first bar and does not let go until the final impact.

On a technical level, “La Rave” showcases meticulous and highly detailed sound design, where nothing is left to chance. The vocals, charged with an almost ritualistic energy, function as an additional instrument: they do not merely accompany, they lead. Their presence adds an emotional layer that contrasts with the industrial coldness of the beat, elevating the track’s narrative into a more visceral and human realm.

The creative dialogue between ROTURA XXL & ZELESTE ROKATECHNO stands as one of the core pillars of the project. Both artists bring a strong identity and a personal vision of techno, yet they manage to create a shared space where those identities do not collide but amplify each other. This synergy is reflected in the track’s architecture, its relentless rhythm, and its direct homage to the rawness of old-school Schranz, reinterpreted through a contemporary, heavier, and more solid approach.

As the track progresses, it evolves like an unstoppable machine: layers multiply, tension escalates, distortion takes center stage, and the mix pushes toward a climax that embodies the most authentic spirit of the rave. It sounds like sweat, darkness, and strobe lights cutting through the air, while a crowd in trance surrenders to the pulse of the beat.

“La Rave” is not just a track designed for the dancefloor; it is an aesthetic statement. A reclamation of the hardest, most direct, and emotional side of electronic music. A reminder that even in the most extreme territories of techno, there is still room for narrative, sensitivity, and sonic craftsmanship.

Ultimately, ROTURA XXL  & ZELESTE ROKATECHNO deliver a work that blends brute force with artistic intent a journey that honors the tradition of hard techno while pushing it forward with a distinct identity. A track that is not only heard, but lived.

Lysergic Melody

Brand new music from some true Skuxx family and a fine display of the many shades within the brand of techno on offer. Tassid vs Kirsmix & Koss turn in an unconvential banger, relentlessly upping the vibe through a series of mini-peaks. You're going to need a sit down after this one. 3Phazegenerator returns to the label showcasing a deeper sound, deeper within the context of Skuxx though of course, it's still as chunky as a Yorkie bar with groove to match.

Legion IX embodies the synergy of new-age and original Techno by forming it 
into a multifaceted construct.

The Various Artist EP of Legion IX is the first impression of this project, which 
ascends out of the depths of Berlin’s underground scene. This Legion of modern 
age unites various participants, who are forearmed to incorporate their musical 
talent into the sonic vision of Legion IX.

The tri-national compilation represents 13 different perspectives of energetic 
techno and merges those into one unity.

The first composition on Legion IX’s Various Artist EP is a creation called ‘Fuck 
the System’ by @troperecordings. The underground techno legend created a 
track with old school nuances by combining rhythmic rims and deep snares while clashing crashes add extra energy to it. The contribution of Legion IX resident @s-w-h-r called ‘Red Snow’ resembles a drama, which acquires its dark atmosphere through deep and distorted synth-pads and induces an emotional tension. For their creation ‘Morgul’ the next Legion IX resident @vinya_official joined forces with @rezystor to combine voluminous kicks and ringing cymbals for evoking a raucous and dark energy, which is underlined by sinister vocals. ‘Judgement’ by the Lyon based DJ @oposition illustrates his artistic finesse through early variations of rhythm and it elicits a slamming warehouse vibe.

The swiss talent @unconformist produces powerful and shifting dynamics through the mechanic and rattling elements in his track ‘Uprising Terror’. In @basswell-2 ‘Silver’ the dark pads accompanied by light rides and passive claps cause an unique tension. The french producer @mac-declos contributes the track ‘John Hoovy’, which convinces with tribal hinted beats and a drone break sound caused by sharp hats and siren-like cuts. Through unrelenting polyrhythms @draugr8 creates a heavy drum tool in his composition ‘Störtebeker’. The duo @soundofsuicide consisting of the artists SWHR and @lndoo represents its raucous versatility through their work. Therefor used digital voice cuts function as a battle cry for the ´Satanic Soldiers´.

The expressive interpretation of the Parisian duo @mothtechno acquires its deep sound through the pervasive synths and the accentuating acid parts, which make it hard to ‘Don’t forget to go Home’. ‘Overdrive your Speakerz’ by @yanis-bellalem is defined by playful pings and stabbing synths. Due to its straightforward drum set the track results into a pure and uncompromising rave statement. One of this year’s most uprising producers @ulutechno finds ´The lost Happiness´ due to drum-roll cuts and gated pads throughout the upbuilding, which turns out to an epic twist in the second half. The last legionnaire standing is the Berlin DJ @tilman-riddelt, who contributes ‘Arak’ as the final anthem to the Various Artists EP, which contains playful trance parts.
