PREMIERE: The Opponent - Star Rush [CA002]

A gift from space, no expectations of anything in. 

Our Industry [Contrast]

A pulse that fractures, rhythms that collapse into themselves, and textures that stretch time—Rostøm’s latest EP is a statement of raw intensity and calculated chaos. Built on percussive pressure and hypnotic sonic structures, this release carves out a space where tension and movement coexist in a delicate balance.

Distorted resonances, fragmented polyrhythms, and mechanical pulses form the backbone of a work that refuses to conform. Each sound is sculpted with precision, yet carries an organic unpredictability that blurs the line between control and entropy. This is techno at its most unrelenting, where every element is stripped down to its essence and pushed to its limit.

Rostøm delivers a release that is as cerebral as it is physical—a deep dive into hypnotic density and rhythmic deconstruction. More than just club music, this EP is an exploration of momentum, weight, and sonic rupture, demanding full immersion.
