After his two outstanding contributions to Vitus' Curse: Sonus Noctis and "Vitus' Curse: Sonus Diei" young talent Talfelt now reappears for his first official solo EP coming on Vitus' Curse. While also setting the second milestone for the label with its first EP he provides a forward- thinking and high-contrast trip through the many facets of Techno with a great sense for aesthetics - as usual, hardware-based, only. 'Troffea' is the origin of Vitus' Curse and centuries later once again the beginning of a long story for the years to come. Brace yourselves.

As final complement to this selection, Talfelt delivers a moody and nicely melancholic gem for special moments and perfect closing vibes. With organic propelling drums and its beautiful pad embedded in an interesting atmosphere "Motus Chao" genuinely rounds up Vitus' Curse's first EP with stylistic command and lasting impression.

Misericordia EP

Premiere: BRÄLLE - Mannequin (Original Mix) [DVTR088]

This is a very personal release, loaded with intense emotions and omens. Heavy and smooth at the same time, rhythmic and melodic alike.

There are four tracks but they are also one, if you listen carefully. "Eternal Sunshine" opens the list with percussions that play together and synth notes with vocal samples that trace the course of the story. "I've Never Felt That Before" denotes a great influence from Breakbeat and stands out for its melancholic synth line and ancestral pads that seem to cry. "Cause You Asked For It" is a more visceral and physical track that uses the classic rhythmic pattern of Techno oriented for clubs and other venues. "Canción De Despedida" is a more introspective and experimental cut that transports us to other planes and invites to delve into the most remote corners of our minds.

Each track tells a story, a moment, those feelings that we cannot avoid so easily. It is a parenthesis to immortalize a memory and at the same time the closing of a period very well lived.

Remember, I am telling stories

To my beloved Tangerine...

Hioll has become one of the main influences within the rising cuban Electronic Music scene. Born and raised in La Habana (Havana) and carrying from the beginning, with humility, the flag of Cuban Techno.

Established Abstraction (@abstractionrecordlabel) in 2017, the first electronic music label ever in Cuba’s history and which is dedicated to showing the most outstanding talents from the island. But that has subsequently evolved to welcome new international artists and, as such, become a widely supported source of dance-floor cuts.

As a producer, Hioll's tracks exist in a powerful climax, which looks simultaneously from the most daring and strange hypnotic Techno to the most bizarre and industrial. He has many successful releases in respected and well known labels, being played and supported by big industry names.

This suggests a versatile artist with a strong personality, capable of generating rich and truly unique ideas and, eventually, translating them into a varied context of unprecedented sound experiences.

Forever at the forefront of hard-hitting techno, David LaFhionntain strikes once again with an intense air of apocalyptic darkness. The new project pours through like an unsettling and poignant ode to this particular time in our lives.

From the depths and relentless weight of 'Abandoning Reality', the EP kicks into gear with a minimalist stab of a classic techno rhythm; alongside a haunting, hypnotically simple synth riff.

Meandering and changing direction just subtly at various stages in its progression, ‘My Transcendence’ evokes uncertainty. The galloping kick and bassline, screeching synth and loopy arpeggiators, with ever-increasing reverb, take us on a five-minute-plus journey which drowns out the weight of the world in a bizarrely hypnotic journey.

A broader synth ambiance builds up and up in 'Into The Shadows', enveloping the listener as this retro, classic and nostalgic techno track fills the room.

'Surrender To Insanity's' minimal melody and an upfront hi-hat adds depth and dynamic - ultimately immersing and engaging in a profound fashion. The sudden onslaught of a screaming, distorted, bass-led central section follows a touch of melody.

The EP’s title track, 'United Under Darkness', balances the weight and certainty of its beat, with a piercing sense of strangeness that is these creatures of movement slowly closing in on you. From a production standpoint, the rising intensity is brilliantly well executed. Multiple layers of detail and experimental audio subtly but surely creep into the mix.

Rather than take to releasing single after single, David LaFhionntain is of a rare breed. Driving with extensive experience and unwavering passion for the genre, his conceptual approach gifts listeners a short yet significant playlist of go-to, infectious and impactful escapism. United Under Darkness as an idea, a sentiment, is perhaps what we all need to work on becoming.

Packed with sweltering bunker-atmosphere and thick drive it comes with the usual Egotik-treatment and convinces with its utmost intense rave atmosphere.

Emerging from the depths of the unknown vitus’ curse is about to be summoned. Destined to set every gathering in motion, the freshly started label-collective’s first release comes in two parts „Sonus Noctis“ and „Sonus Diēi“ representing the sound of both, night and day featuring 17 artists with a total of 20 tracks. With a journey from diverse rave atmospheres to vivid after hour euphoria we proudly present our meticulously curated selection of modern, dynamic club sounds settled in and around the realm of Techno. That being said, we’re more than prepared for the resurrection of a post-pandemic rave culture and we hope to see you, soon. Brace yourselves, the movement starts now.
