The 31st release of the label comes out of the hands of the Greek Antimatter Particle (@antimatterparticle) and is called ‘Gloomy Winter’. The EP includes three minimalistic and dark melodic techno originals, with emphasis on techno. Besides, we are happy to announce Heîk (@heik_ofc) is contributing to this EP with an energetic and more melodic orientated remix.

The first track of the EP is also the title track, called ‘Gloomy Winter’. The icy and dark vibe, which is sensible throughout the full EP, immediately comes forward. With tight and minimalistic percussion elements Antimatter Particle is giving a rapid groove to the track. On top of this groove, lingered pads and atmospheric synths are laid down.  

‘Floating’ is the banging second track. The lower part is a bit heavier and is giving a lot of groove and body to the track. The cold synth work is a nice example of eccentric sound design. Combined with the mysterious background percussion, it results in a very compelling composition.

The third track of the EP is called ‘Tar’. In the track the compelling vibe evolves to captivation. Founded by an acidy lower part, the ethereal pads are taking you to another dimension, where they keep you until communicating synths are taking over in the breaks. Together those elements are setting a haunting mood. 

The final track is Heîk’s remix of ‘Tar’. He took the compelling parts and main melody of the original and built his own world around them. The remix has a lot of energy with an ongoing flow. On top of this flow, interesting sound designs are taking shape, providing unexpected moments. Sometimes it makes you think twice about what you are hearing. So, HeÎk closes the EP in a dynamic and powerful way.

Electronic music has been a part of MORAES’ life since he was a child. Growing up listening to giants such as Gigi D’Agostino, Alex Gaudino, Darude, Zombie Nation, among others, through the influence of his father, the fascination with synthetic sound was inevitable. But it was in 2012, through a live broadcast on YouTube, that techno entered his radar. The journey, however, was marked by a broad musical exploration.
The search for a musical experience greater than just listening led him to take his first mixing course in 2017. After a few months searching for his sound identity, in 2018 he came into contact with Melodic Techno. With continuous refinement, his work soon attracted attention, leading him to participate in the prestigious ALATAJ Talentos series and the following year, he was featured in the Rising series, by MELODIC EYES.
The search for artistic evolution led MORAES to a new chapter: Hypnotic/Raw Techno. The transition opened doors to record for influential collectives such as Coletivo Morph (SP) and PhantomCorp (Mexico), consolidating his immersive and hypnotic sound signature. The recognition didn't stop there. At the end of 2023, he won the contest of the collective Underground Militia (Londrina-PR), guaranteeing a space in the February 2024 edition. The synergy was so strong that, since then, in a partnership with the collective, he has shared line-ups with big names in the underground scene.
​With precise sets and immersive sound narratives, he doesn't just play, he seeks to transport his audience to dimensions where music is the only guide.
