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.

Stephen Disario Rooted In Reality is out on Synthetik Sounds this coming August 14th

Today marks 4 months since Lea Rose’s passing.

In accordance with their mom, we wanted to pay them tribute by sharing with you the recording of their set at Raptur #2 from September 15, 2023.

More than ever, we feel extremely grateful to have been able to share authentic moments of selfless passion for music with the artist that Radical Softness was, but we are even more blessed to have witnessed and deeply connected with the human that Lea Rose was.

Their generosity, helpfulness and commitment to what’s right is a noble legacy that lives on.

The set definitely hits different today with every second and every sound, kicking off with an ethereal intro and plunging us into 2 hours of nostalgia for a sadly bygone era. 
On ne t’oubliera jamais.

Hamza & Brandon

WIR Podcast #075 - Judas

Void+1 launches its Year-3, "CONVERGENCE," with a formidable EP by Cam Lasky, XENOMORPH: BISHOP.
The previous 5 volumes of his Xenomorph release series have been native to his own label, KWAIOTO, however, the latest installment, a release that exemplifies the cutting edge of modern electronic music, finds its home on Void+1 Recordings.
Known for his narrative-driven approach, Cam dissolves the boundaries of techno and once again demonstrates an intimidating production prowess across a variety of cinematically charged styles. "Fiorina 161" is a peak-time monster, "Synthetics" and "XX121" evoke a trailer-esque, score-like mood while "341-B Pt.2" unleashes breakbeat-mayhem.
For the closing track, we have Scalameriya on remix duty for "XX121", which he transforms into a stripped-down, ritualistic offering with his signature scare-tactic twist on the breakdown.
