Master of a hauntingly deep, highly melodic strain of techno, Inigo Kennedy belongs in a category of his own. Neither quite your typical merchant of pulsating, floor-sweeping goods, nor an exponent of the easily pigeonholeable atmospheric sound, the British producer has been laying down classics one after the other, thumbing his nose at trends and the scene's heavily target-marketed, interchangeable fancies. Writing his idiosyncratic legacy at the confines of gut-wrenching harmonics and a nonetheless hi-octane approach towards floor efficiency, Inigo Kennedy champions a musical grammar that’s all his, just as elegant as it is vibrant, propulsive and mesmeric all at once, brushing a finely chiseled tableau of unrelenting industrial kinetics lapping at the rocks of beauty-searching artistry. A work of art that transcends its own purpose, his present RYC mix frames up Kennedy’s impeccable yet highly emotive touch to a T. A tidal wave of feels.

Blasting his way into our series this week, Dutch producer Robin Kampschoer revs up the engines and lifts us off to higher spheres of consciousness through two hours of chiselled post-industrial sound engineering. Exploring the confines of techno, somewhere at the junction of proper raw, steely rhythms and further elevated ambience-scaping, the RKM boss and STOOR alum swings the pendulum betwixt full-blown warehouse-ready assault and inward-gazing escapism effortlessly. Elegantly brutalist, his approach is both one of nuance and impact, exalting and pensive in equal measure, never flinching in its quest for the sweet spot between raging horsepower and nostalgia-soaked harmonics.
