Hefty

https://www.beatport.com/release/war-crimes/1855244

Introducing the War Crimes album from London-based dark techno producer Hefty: Inspired by the events of 9/11 and the subsequent War on Terror, Hefty takes us on an apocalyptic journey into the darkside, exploring elements of broken beat, downtempo, and techno. 

"War Trophy" sets the tone for what's to come, a drowning and ominous indication of the dire places we will be taken to throughout the album. 

"Weapons Of Mass Destruction" marks the calm before the storm, as it picks up the pace with a sinister downtempo track completed by the haunting vocals of Gracie. Starting off the techno journey, 

"Rendition" is coined by dank and murky sounds in tandem with a heavy rolling bass, topped off by trademark Hefty vocals. 

Next up is "A.W.O.L" - inspired by army deserters who refuse to fight in the illegal and immoral wars the establishment has forced them into. Punctuated by percussion hits and defined by its relentless slow groove, this track makes the dancers revolt and rebel on the floors. 

"Enhanced Interrogation" goes deep into the world of modern torture. Low rumbling bass and hypnotic atmospherics will twist your mind as this minimal techno track penetrates your eardrums. 

Following on is "Innocent Blood" - the signature rolling basslines and dark vocals make this an instant Hefty classic. The listener gets more and more ecstatic as the beats are starting to pick up speed.

"The Pentagon Lie" is a direct challenge to the official story of what happened on 9/11. With its uncompromising heavyweight beats, rolling bass, and driving groove, it makes you wonder: have you been lied to all these years? 

Solid beats and a hard bass provide the perfect background to the percussion incidentals in "Inside Job". It keeps the listener alerted and in unease as the vocals touch on the crimes perpetrated by the American government throughout history. 

"Standard Operating Procedure" takes us even further into the darkness. Undulating bass and solid beats drive the track forward with intensity whilst the narrator tells a dark tale, outlining some of the strange practices carried out by troops far from their homes. 

With its dark, heavily rolling bass and a deadly groove, "War on Terror" is instantly recognizable as one of Hefty's productions. This track is massively influenced by the death and destruction inflicted on innocent people due to the illegal, unethical, and never-ending "War on Terror". 

"The 3rd Tower" sets out to make people aware that a 3rd tower fell on 9/11. The steel-framed tower was not hit, yet it collapsed at free fall speed. However, the dark bass and the heavy dubstep sound of this track could have accomplished what seems to be a mystery until this present day. 

Finally "Post Traumatic Stress Disorder" takes us out of this nightmare of War Crimes. Downtempo, smoking beats help us unwind, and although our doubts towards the establishment are still very much in the foreground, it offers a contemplative track to try and understand what we have just experienced.

Purveyor of the darkest techno, minimal and progressive.

Famed for his raw, brooding and uncompromising dark psychedelic techno and minimal sets, this London based DJ has been in international demand over the past few years, conquering crowds across Germany (including Tresor + Magdalena Berlin), France, Belgium, Switzerland, Poland, Holland, UK and also Australia.

Undoubtedly the preeminent master of darker sounds, Hefty skilfully takes you through the looking glass on a journey to a long forgotten corner of the world somewhere at the edge of time, setting the tone for the impending apocalypse with his distinct style of hypnotic twisted bass-fueled dark techno. It's small wonder Hefty has enjoyed the attention of well respected labels, and most importantly, has earned the loyalty and dedication of fans who have been known to travel for hours just to watch him spin.

After over 2 years of this growing support from his friends, peers and fans, Hefty was inspired to create his own label: Darker Sounds. Focused solely on showcasing underground dark techno and minimal, the label pulls no punches in its dedication to keeping the style and quality consistently high. It is this approach to music that defines the label, and will no doubt resonate with producers of a high standard who, no matter how established, WILL see their music released.

Big things are on the horizon for this global player as Hefty now ventures into the psychedelic world, his dark heavyweight progressive tracks being picked up by Zenon Records, Uroboros Records, Maia Brasil, Glitchy.Tonic.Records, Insonitus, Padang Records and more.

In May 2016 he created his own psychedelic label "Erebos Records" - a platform for releasing the darkest progressive psy trance from the best known and undiscovered artists from around the world.

Unafraid to constantly refine and evolve his style, Hefty is on track to further cement his reputation as an unstoppable force in the realm of dark techno, minimal and psychedelia.

Welcome to Erebos Records! Brand new label created by Hefty which will focus mainly on releasing pitch black heavyweight driving dark progressive psy trance, although we are open to other psychedelic styles as long as they fit the Erebos Records concept......no happy shit.......ever............

We are not interested in big names, the music is the most important thing - if the music is right then it does not matter if you are a completely new / unknown producer etc - you will get the opportunity to release your music. We are looking at moving away from the usual psy cliche sounds and production techniques and instead look towards exploring a minimal "less is more" direction.

The goal is to become THE "go to" label for the darkest psychedelic music producers, djs and fans, in terms of the musical output and also in terms of benefits to label artists - as with Heftys current Dark Techno label Darker Sounds.

Introducing the next mix in the "Erebos Records Presents" mix series!!!

Aditya Vernekar​ aka Noob Psybot, is an Indian producer and DJ from Bombay, India.

This months mix comes from Frame!! Releasing on the very first Erebos Records EP and various other ER releases, he has since grown in notoriety and has started perfoming his live sets at various festivals etc 

Florent Frame​ aka Frame discovered trance music in 2009 after attending various festivals with friends. A couple of years later he came across the genre of dark progressive and decided to start producing his own tracks in late 2014, encouraged and guided by a chance meeting in the middle of the Australian outback with psychedelic producer Neuronod.

Combining his two passions, music and travel, Frame has a promising few years ahead, with his tracks being picked up by Hefty's new dark progressive label "Erebos Records"
