This music right here: A ray of hope but the struggle is not over. We must go on…

... crazy mmm just the start 8 min....  uau

This week we’re in the Bay Area, where Endzeit has quietly become one of the most thoughtful techno series on the West Coast. Over the past few years, they’ve brought in artists who feel closely aligned with our extended niche community, people who approach sound with care, intention, and a sense of forward movement. We’re glad to host Torsion, the founders of the Endzeit, whose "Delayed with..."  mix captures the clarity and pressure that runs through everything they do.

Torsion doesn’t move in straight lines. Their work circles, strains, folds in on itself, always dragging tension to the surface. Formerly known as Sentient, the duo has spent years refining a sound that resists resolution. Their recent track Misgivings, released on Semantica’s Petricor compilation, lands like a pressure system, low-end submerged just enough to make your footing uncertain. There’s no payoff, no center, just a dense psychoacoustic atmosphere that holds you in place and dares you to find shape in it.

Torsion's mix for Delayed stays on-brand in the best way: tight, physical, with a kind of controlled momentum that hits first in the chest, then catches up to your head. It opens with force, big room sound, no wasted space, but somewhere around the midpoint, the gears slip. Syncopation edges in, structure blurs. It’s not a derailment, more like a detour through darker, looser terrain. By the end, the groove snaps back, but the trip has already shifted. What starts as propulsion ends in something more hypnotic. It’s techno made with discipline and intent. No spectacle, no filler, just impact.
