011 - EP

Friday (Nobu's Edit)

Asymmetric head Inigo Kennedy returns to his label with a stunning five track EP 'The Long Tail'.

Singular, evocative techno, as simple as that. 'Rara Avis' introduces the EP with a playful, intriguing and optimistic sound. The central three tracks build on a solid kick foundation and are primed to flood big dark spaces with memories - from the aching notes of 'Rivers Flow Far', through the emphatic and wistful title track 'The Long Tail' and onwards to peak with the swirling layers of 'Maelstrom'. To finish the EP is 'Against The Backdrop', a fitting acid-tinged cinematic close.

Record number 3 from Unveiled Nuance brings a new confidence in the further developed sound of owner Means&3rd. A continued eye for detail as well as a roughness that breathes dark soul into the production aesthetic that we have yet to hear from the artist.

“Hardship Repackaged As Growth” Opens the EP with boomy, rugged low end and grainy driven synth lines with sharp hits of wide sonic impact and a depth of layered atmosphere, placed on a bed of dense percussion until its break point exposes contorted, abrasive stabs just surviving the crunch of their processing, that then take the forefront. “Countenance” replies to the previous track with a more calculated, rounder and organic palette of audio that focuses on a cadenced synth line that breaths with the arrangement, fizzing to break point and engaging the deeper listen. Swung percussion keeps the groove providing a propulsive backing that sits on ganrled bass hits before the focus returns on the charged lead line.


“Character Ethic” carries deep suspense from the off, with filtered menace being teased below the surface, warping atmospheres are stacked and build the apprehension against a militant 16th shaker before an almost vocal like modulated synth reveals itself and is left to dance prominently across the stereo field. Layers of energy providing percussion complete the picture for a mesmerising trip. “Desperate And Relevant” the most driving of the 4 cuts takes an effectively reduced stand where square wave accents build new levels of intensity. Propulsive low-end and cohesive percussion writhe through the track’s arrangement closing out the EP with a powerful ending, a blistering siren sees the track’s breakpoint provide a release worthy of the pressure built.

Oefenmeesters Invite: Komposit (VINYL ONLY) [BCR24/03/24]


French talent Hyden makes label debut on Mutual Rytm with conceptual new techno EP, ‘To Whom It May Concern’.

Hyden is a potent force in the French underground, creating powerful techno with dense percussion, immersive grooves and subtle nods to classic influences — all through his own unique lens. Having delivered standout releases in recent years, here he offers up sounds “anchored in psychoanalysis, time, and emotional residue” as he makes his mark on SHDW’s Mutual Rytm imprint, delivering influences of dream logic and surrealism as the palette moves between brutality and introspection. “It’s hypnotic music for moments of rupture where something breaks or breaks through”.

Opener ‘Manifest Content’ is inspired by Freudian theory and explores the surface illusions of thought and dream. It's about the dissonance between what we perceive and the deeper meaning that slips away beneath and is a deep and dubby techno track with flashes of unsettling melody. ‘Bruises’ is emotional trauma made sonic. This piece delves into invisible scars and traumas, residues of past conflict or intimacy - it's slow-burning, heavy and raw. ‘Jikan’ is a meditation built on time and its erosion. Inspired by the Japanese concept of impermanence, it reflects fleeting moments, decay and the tension between stillness and motion with jacked up but warm drums and turbulent bass.

Next, ‘Free Will’ is born from inner conflict and plays with deterministic rhythms and evolving layers, questioning whether we are truly in control or just passengers in a prewritten sequence. The vocal mentions, “creatures, you’re out of time” to bring darkness to the intense but sleek rhythms. The streamlined physicality of ‘Swarm’ channels the primal force of collective movement and is a nod to the loss of individuality in group behaviour.

In addition, the package is loaded with digital bonus cuts. ‘Yumehara’ is a dive into surreal dream-states and evokes subconscious landscapes where logic dissolves and emotion reigns, while ‘Lü Bu’ is brutal and warlike and named after the legendary Chinese general that captures impulsive violence, betrayal and reckless glory with relentless energy and rhythm. Lastly, ‘Neon Pale’ is a synthetic dreamscape about fading beauty under artificial light - a melancholy ode to cities at night and the loss of warmth in modern life.

Hyden ‘To Whom It May Concern’ lands on Mutual Rytm on 19th September 2025.
