Backspin's next release brings Selective Response, a prominent figure in America's techno scene, to the forefront with his Inner Heaven EP. Known for his hard-hitting techno rollers, he brings his expertise and passion to Backspin, delivering a release that aligns seamlessly with the label's mission to rejuvenate the Hardgroove sound of the early 2000s, blending releases of legendary pioneers with those of fresh talents.  The EP opens with Hells Bells, a doomy track that encapsulates Selective Response's signature style, featuring relentless rhythms and an underworldly bell theme. The title track Inner Heaven follows, offering a, contrasting atmosphere, blending ethereal elements with driving beats to explore the balance between intensity and tranquility. On the flip side, Power Hungry delivers a potent mix of pulsating basslines, sharp percussion and industrial elements, embodying the raw energy that defines the Hardgroove genre. The EP concludes with Purifier, a track more in line with the EP’s title track, merging driving loops with intricate sound design, leaving listeners in a state of ecstatic trance.

GTG Premiere | Linear System - Core 42 [SPLTR008]

"Ganbaru" (頑張る) is a Japanese word that encapsulates the concept of steadfast determination and perseverance in the face of challenges. It implies not just doing one's best, but pushing beyond that, enduring hardship, and seeing a task through to completion. It's often translated as "to try hard," "to hang in there," or "to stick with it".

Finally releasing a track that's been getting a lot of love every time I've played it! I'm calling this one loopy, tribal, mental hypnotic techno – it subtly bridges the gap between the deep and hard sides of techno today.

You can support my sound by checking it out on Bandcamp, or simply give it a listen right here.
