Victor Ruiz’s VOLTA imprint heads into 2024 in the same vein as it ended 2023, with an unrelenting flow of top-quality releases, the next from Wehbba and label boss, Victor Ruiz. After their infamous b2b at Warehouse Project in December 2022, it was maybe a sign of things to come, and after not collaborating for almost 10 years, the duo found time in Sao Paulo, resulting in their next release ‘Stand’.
The title cut ‘Stand’ was made during lockdown, “It felt fast at the time, but then techno had a surge in faster bpm’s being played and released, so when I came back to the track 4 years later, it almost feels slow” says Wehbba. “I sent the track to Victor, and he added some drums and vocals that were perfect, but it wasn't until we played it out, that we realised what was missing”. Laced with enveloping acid and modulating analogue elements from early on, its ebb and flow of gripping peaks and troughs filled with expansive soundscapes, hooking vocals and riveting crescendos are the perfect precursors to its several gritty, sawing synth lead. “Now we are both in Lisbon, we got into the studio again and worked out the finer details and completed the track” adds Wehbba.
‘Silo’ completes the release with an appropriate amount of ‘boom’ throughout. Thumping kicks and subtle percussive drive lead the way along hollowed-out sub-bass and melancholic arps that expand further into the mix, giving rise to sharply rising synth lines and pulsating bass stabs. A progressively climbing roller with endless energy and loads of off-beat shuffle throughout, it perfectly caps off an impressive release.

Kurt Heisz - Rave Repeat

Houston-based Turkish talent Genghis and EXTIMA co-owner Zafer Atabey have joined forces to release a striking new EP, Pain, a masterful addition to the peak-time techno world. The EP's title track, Pain, is a hauntingly dark yet irresistibly groovy composition featuring thought-provoking vocal segments that add a philosophical layer to the track. A female voice offers an introspective message, urging listeners to embrace challenges and step into the unknown, while a deep male voice explores the concept of being present, creating an introspective narrative that complements the track's brooding atmosphere.

The production stands out for its intricate breakdown, delivering a suspenseful and almost cinematic descent into the darker realms of techno. The hypnotic beats and gritty layers make it an unforgettable piece, ensuring no listener remains still. The track embodies a raw yet refined sound that transports the listener, creating a sense of immersion that's hard to shake.

Genghis presents a remix that strips down the original to its essentials, offering a harder and more intense interpretation. This rawer version heightens the EP's energy, maintaining the original's impact while adding a layer of unfiltered, driving force that's perfect for peak moments on the dance floor.

The EP closes with Let It Flow, an exhilarating techno tool that encapsulates energy and euphoria. Built for peak-time play, the track's structure is loaded with a fierce hoover sound that builds up with intensity, while acid synth lines take it to soaring heights. Catchy vocal hooks and relentless rhythm create an infectious groove, inviting clubbers to lose themselves in the beat.

Pain is a powerful release that showcases both Genghis and Atabey's skill for crafting intricate, club-ready sounds with depth and dark allure. This EP will resonate with techno enthusiasts, offering both cerebral engagement and undeniable dance floor appeal.
