Release: 10th May 2024

EXHALE welcomes Belgian prodigy BYØRN to the family, bringing a unique blend of hard techno and ethereal and cinematic influences. With acclaimed releases on labels like Taapion, Etruria Beat, No Mercy, and Revised Records, Antwerp-based BYØRN has quickly solidified his presence as a rising star in the industry and is now ready for his debut on EXHALE with an explosive release.

Ragnarok EP features three tracks showcasing BYØRN's innovative fusion of styles and relentless drive. 'Ragnarok' starts the journey, an anthem with epic fantasy melodies and a cinematic break that envelop listeners in its energetic, thunderous vibe. The pace intensifies with 'Release Yourself', a deep dive into cinematic euphoria with resonating brass and angelic melodies. A climactic vocal invites you to "release yourself in the unknown" before a powerful drop showcases BYØRN's mastery of dynamic soundscapes, layered synths, and finely crafted transitions. Rounding out the release, 'Source' melds a hard techno groove infused with cinematic SFX and a thick acid bassline, building up to a choir-enhanced break that explodes into a transcendent blend of melody and emotion.
