Mordio returns with ‘Selva of the Zone’, a captivating Techno Tool EP that showcases his mastery of groove and sound design. This release pulses between driving, groovy techno, minimalistic dark textures, and abstract percussions.

“Locked in a Box”, the first track, hits the ground running - a bold opening with a propelling groove, balancing deep techno roots with an energy that pushes boundaries.

“Fuiste” follows - a track defined by its functional flow, mysterious atmosphere, and intricate rhythmic patterns that challenge and captivate.

On “Small Anomaly”, mordio crafts a sleek, body-focused composition. Playful fills punctuate its elegant, functional core - a refined example of body music in motion.

“Gravity Pattern” introduces a snappy confidence, bold and irresistible, radiating cheeky energy that pulls the listener in.

Finally, the title piece, “Selva of The Zone”, bring a playful synth and a raw, crafted aesthetic together, delivering a euphoric conclusion to this rhythmically driven and deeply danceable collection.

„Between Life and Death“ marks Vanta’s inaugural release with the label, exploring the nuanced contrasts of life’s emotional journeys. The album delves into Vanta‘s personal experiences with change, articulating the battle between melancholy and hope. Tracks like „Intrusive Thoughts“ and „Void“ reflect this duality, presenting a narrative that is both unpredictable and empowering.

It‘s a powerful exploration of the spaces between joy and sorrow, rendered through a deeply personal musical lens. Each track meti- culously crafts a balance between introspection and the poignant beauty of moving forward, inviting listeners into a deeply personal yet relatable world. „Between Life and Death“ serves not only as an auditory experience but also as an emotional journey that resonates deeply with listeners, offering both solace and inspiration.

IO Podcast Series Episode 065, mixed by Orsu.

We’re thrilled to share the 65th episode of our podcast series! This time we welcome Orsu, co-founder of the Nebuleuse channel and event series, with a powerful, fast-paced techno journey. 

Known for his hypnotic and evolving narratives, ORSU blends psychedelic and experimental sounds with raw, driving energy. For this mix, he crafted a deeply twisted experience: shifting constantly between steady, rumbling rhythms, intricate polyrhythms, distorted atmospheres, and organic textures.

A big part of the inspiration behind this mix comes from the IO universe itself – featuring tracks by Tenzia, Mordio, FTP Doctor, Polygonia, and many more, mixed with rare and hidden gems. 

While the vibe is definitely techno, it carries a strong IO signature – dynamic, trippy, and deeply immersive. It’s a journey through sound design, raw energy, and detailed storytelling. We are very happy to share this mix with you. Also check out Orsu and his Podcast series Nebuleuse.
