Italian techno artist Jack Fresia churns out three original tracks to form Conundrum Records’ second outing, titled Night Ride EP.

Founded and curated by LA-based producer and DJ Stephen Disario, Conundrum Records is a label focusing on the groovier and deeper ends of the techno spectrum. The imprint debuted in March of 2023 with Stephen’s very own Lights Down Under EP and continues on its mission with this brilliantly curated second release, which also comes complete with a Jay York remix.

The EP starts off with title track “Night Ride,” a groovy piece that features hypnotic elements over an infectious bassline and percussive elements.

“Wrong Turn” is a slightly funkier affair, at first continuing in the same vein as “Night Ride” before taking you on unexpected twists characterized by darker elements and stripped-down percussions. This one is ideal for the later segments of a long dance floor night as it provides some breathing room and respite in between the otherwise dance floor-focused foundations of the track.

The third original track, “Sintesia,” picks up the pace by speeding things a notch with an ever-so-slight crescendo, before bringing you back into the depth of its captivating peak-time journey.

Closing out the release is the brilliant Jay York remix of “Sintesia.” Here, the young up-and-coming American producer increases the BPMs, transforming the original into a fast-groove tool, while maintaining its discerning underground elements. 

Jack Fresia’s Night Ride EP is out on Conundrum Records on June 30th and will be available on the label’s Bandcamp.

White Owl Records are a vinyl and digital label based in Brooklyn, USA who have a focus on live and machine-driven techno from its wonderful underground scene. Returning for his second release on White Owl is Carlos Aguilar aka Concrete Husband, an exciting artist who has a high pedigree from the world of classical music, has now found his home in techno. Not only a producer, he is also an in demand DJ, playing regularly around NYC hotspots, and has also toured Europe this year. 'Piel' is an album journey that expresses the artist's dual sides; the themes of his ambient works and his techno prove strangely similar. In this long-form project, Concrete Husband presents his two styles next to each other. A searing flute opening delves into a torrent of techno madness, topped with two stellar remixes from techno icons TWR72 and 1morning. In all, Concrete Husband takes us from introverted depths to extroverted heights by deftly defying genre.

TWR72 is a revered Dutch maestro who not only runs the Float Records imprint, but has also appeared on Pfirter's MindTrip, Setaoc Mass' SK_eleven, Mark Broom's Beard Man, and Tiga's Turbo Recordings, amongst many others. 1morning is a Los Angeles-based producer who also brings a solid pedigree and has featured on Deetron's Character label as well as Céllí's Mála Ádh, Fixed Rhythms, and Gypnōticå. The opening track, "Breath on Me," is a throbbing and shuffling ride, soaked in tribal atmosphere and modular shimmers over a raw groove.

"Arched Back" has a stuttering beat at its core from delayed kick patterns that play under swooning tones and dramatic stripped down sections. "Heating Up" has an abstract rhythm of rolling drums and tasteful highlights in this interesting analogue cut. "New Boy" is an almost lo-fi techno take, using a bouncing bassline to fuel this apparent beatless, and jiving trip. "Ven Aqui" returns to a more driving approach. A jackin' and thundering kick provides the focus, while the alarm-like hook creates an arresting tension in an overall sonic hurricane. "Your Pulse" takes a step into harder territory with a wall of bass and slicing, chirping accents, but the freaky vibe is really emblazoned from the dark, whispering vocal. "New Boy (TWR72 Remix)" throws down a punchy reworking aimed at shaking bones on dance floors, where slick detuned hats trade blows with extra effects and sound design details. The final track is the "Your Pulse (1morning Remix)" that has a regimented 4/4 stance, but totally groove-laden beat with infectious energy from claps and bass jabs.
