Saturn Reigns - For C

In the ever-evolving landscape of techno music, few producers have recently carved out a niche as unique, fresh-yet-classic and compelling as @wtchcrft2. With his latest EP, "Wet Lung," due to be released on May 3rd via UMAY, the Brooklyn based producer continues to push the boundaries of what techno can be, while taking inspiration from classic and contemporary American Techno and House featuring fellow @dj-swisha on the remix side.

Anthony McLean, the man behind the moniker, has been making music since 2011, but it was during lockdown in 2020 that he made the decision to pivot from making trap, wave, and witch house to creating techno. The result is a sound that is both unmistakably his own and yet at the forefront of a rapidly changing genre, bound to New York’s re-emerging dance music scene creating constant new spaces for black and queer artists.

From the propulsive vocal driven lead single "Bagituh'' to the hypnotic pulse of "2 Myself", "Wet Lung'' is a masterful collection of five tracks that showcase WTCHCRFT's range and creativity. His rap roots and his love of vocal-driven hip hop blend seamlessly into his productions, creating a sound that is simultaneously raw, groovy and refined.  

But "Wet Lung" is more than just a collection of tracks. It is a statement of intent, a declaration that techno can be whatever we want it to be. With each new release, WTCHCRFT pushes the boundaries of what we think of as techno, and in doing so, he expands the possibilities of the genre further, from a new post-pandemic New York perspective in which creating spaces from the black communities becomes increasingly challenged by the growing gentrification of former black dominated neighborhoods. 

As we look ahead to the future of these communities, we can't help but feel extremely excited by what WTCHCRFT has in store for us. "Wet Lung" is a bold and visionary statement, from this emerging NYC scene and lines into an array of groundbreaking releases from fellow American artists hailing from the city, redefining its sound and breaking conventional influences from Europe.

"Wet Lung" will be available on all major digital platforms on May 3rd. The single ”Bagituh” is out now!

The word "resistance" is deeply embedded in the ethos of techno. For her debut release on the Tresor Records, the British artist and Tresor resident, IMOGEN, explores the concept of resilience; a related and equally vital concept.

Taking its name from a theological term meaning a fundamental change of mind or spiritual conversion, Metanoia is fuelled by IMOGEN's processing of what she describes as one of the most challenging years of her life.

Any struggle against injustice or misfortune takes time and effort which requires finding a fortitude within, not only to surpass the hardship itself but to not lose ourselves to despair or bitterness in the process.

IMOGEN's journey is summed up in the lead track, The Way She Moves - resilience is, after all, a persistence to continue, to move forward. The struggle against hardship is laid out in track titles like Tired Bones and Growing in the Dark before a sense of catharsis is reached in Breathe Again and Melancholy Flower. 

The music similarly mirror her experiences, passing through sadness, anger, before ultimately landing at acceptance and a newfound drive for self-actualisation and greater interoception; after all, the end goal of any resistance is liberation.
