Combining beefy basslines with hedonistic vocals and pounding drums, Ilona Maras' style is tailor-made for the dance floor.

Talking about Ilona Maras' release on his record label, Victor Ruiz said: "When Ilona sent me these tracks, I knew immediately that they were special. A balance between some classic and timeless techno sounds, but with a modern
approach."

VOLTA proudly welcomes rising Brazilian producer KAF3R with his explosive new EP, Fragments. 

With two heavy-hitting tracks "Rover" and “Voices" the EP showcases KAF3R’s signature blend of raw basslines, hypnotic synthwork, and vocal-driven grooves made for the peak-time dancefloor.


The lead cut, "Rover", is a bold, festival-ready weapon built around a commanding lead synth and relentless low-end power. KAF3R layers in a hypnotic background melody and a looping vocal hook that sears into your memory:

“Dealing with lames is not in my culture, dodging bad vibes in my blackdown rover…”
As the track unfolds, a shadowy, cinematic breakdown sets the tone for a devastating second drop. “Rover is all about energy, tension and release. It’s made for those massive stage moments,” says KAF3R.

On the flip side, "Voices" dives into darker, more minimal territory. Driven by an eerie vocal hook, analog synth textures, and a stripped-down yet impactful groove, KAF3R keeps the elements minimal and focused:

“When I made Voices, I knew it didn’t need too much. Just the right vocal, solid bass, and a groove that doesn’t let go.”

Fragments marks another powerful step forward for KAF3R, distilling raw club energy and a refined production aesthetic into a tightly focused, two-track release that demands attention.
