Following on from the summer’s mischievous double header, ‘Octopuss / Karter Bachnabel’ (Figure 47), the two techno institutions that are Len Faki and Johannes Heil are back. If ‘Volume I’ reflected an upbeat, festival-friendly summer vibe, then ‘Volume II’ welcomes us indoors to the winter season, with two darker, straighter and more paranoid weapons. 


Both ‘Dirty’ and ‘Maniac’ continue the strong blueprint of the first EP, with the producer’s trademark rolling bass and intense arrangements making them perfectly-honed for the big floors.

‘Dirty’ takes an old school, intense party-techno vibe with a grinding organ hook leading us into the heart of the beast. Taking the best of 90s techno’s slamming drums -crisp claps and searing hi-hats - combined with the two producer’s top class production, its quite a handful.

No less effective is ‘Maniac’, a more introspective workout that fuses a pumping, warehouse vibe with submerged, filtering synth play. At once psychedelic, yet funky and timeless, it snakes and stalks its way through 7 minutes of classy reductionism. Simply masterful techno from two of it’s key contributors.

-
Call and response isn’t just structure, it’s instinct. Every creation, every track, every gesture is a call cast into the unknown, seeking connection, reaction, or resonance through sound. The response might come from the energy of a crowd, the silence of reflection, or a subtle shift in inner thought.

A Call for Response captures this tension, exploring how reaching outward through sound can spark emotion, movement, and change. With immersive production and a sharp sense of spatial depth, Neo reflects on the transformative moments that emerge through the act of creating and sharing sound.

Neo - Don't Let It Know [PI08]

'This new EP from Ikari stems from a clear challenge: to ignite the dancefloor using unconventional tools. The result is four bouncing betty-style cuts, each one a tightly wound blast of rhythm and pressure. Unpredictable grooves and raw textures collide in a high-risk, high-impact workout built to test the limits of any club system. When the dust settles, no legs will be left standing'

Organic textures, instrumental elements, and striking melodic moments run through the heart of this release. With a deep sense of musicality and groove, Skydivers blends drive and emotions in equal measure, bridging raw club energy with a more introspective rhythmic feeling. It’s a deeper release!

"During the process, I found myself drawn to more organic elements! Instruments, textured layers, and subtle melodies that could live within the structure of techno but also stretch beyond it. I wanted every track to feel alive, to breathe, to carry a human touch beneath the rhythm.

Skydivers became a personal journey. Not just a release, but a snapshot of a period where I explored new sounds without overthinking, allowing instinct to guide me.

I didn’t want to follow a strict formula, I wanted to stay honest to what felt right, even if it wasn’t safe.”

Each track is a part of that story.
