Italian duo Agents Of Time have been incredibly busy over the past few years, from releasing a string of classic singles – including their recent single for Afterlife, “The Mirage”, which earned more than five million views on Instagram – to remixing The Weeknd’s “Take My Breath”, which appeared on his recent Dawn FM (Alternative World). But the biggest news is here now – their second album, Universo, is ready. Elevating their trademark melodic techno with an exquisite pop-ness, Universo has found its ideal home with Kompakt, following their Music Made Paradise 2020 debut EP for the label. It’s a meeting of minds that makes perfect sense.

Andrea Di Ceglie and Luigi Tutolo, the two members of Agents Of Time, used their time during the pandemic to work on Universo, an album loosely conceptualised around their ‘personal universo’, a manifestation of the world Di Ceglie and Tutolo built both within and around their studio. This accounts for the sparkle and brightness of Universo – it’s full of personality, vim and vigour, the duo experimenting with their music, exploring its furthest corners. If you come to Universo expecting just another album of melodic techno, get ready to be pleasantly surprised – there’s a whole lot more going on here, and it’s all equally compelling.

After a typically poetic opening gesture – the swirling, synaesthetic, self-titled intro track – expectations are immediately blindsided with the two-step pop of “Fallin’”, sung with gentle clarity by guest Audrey Janssens, a dream of a song that harks back to the glory days of early ‘00s UK garage. “Interstellar Cowboy” is a confident, lithe, disco-fied strut; the gentle minor-key piano of “Liquid Fantasy” spirals into a gorgeously melancholy techno-pop epic, Vicky Who?’s voice rich with yearning. Janssens also reappears on the electro-swirl of “Poison”; “Dream Vision” revisits their single “The Mirage”, soft with sweeping strings, loaded with drama; “Part Of Life” sashays into view with a schaffel-stomp.

This rich variety throws the more dancefloor-focused tracks, like “Ciao”, into even starker relief – they’re more decisive, streamlined, yet rich with detail, chugging, Moroder-esque bass meeting strobe-lit synths that fire melodies out into the firmament. Universo feels texturally dense, but it still breathes, its sounds so tactile you want to reach out and grab them, its tunes so seductive you can’t get them out of your head. Universo is a fiercely beautiful album, brave in its spirit, a perfectly poised meeting-point of pop melody and stylish, lush techno: Agents Of Time in excelsis.

The profound fusion of melody and might in Hollt's most recent track ‘The Void’ is a symphonic odyssey that exemplifies his signature blend of melodic house and techno. Renowned for his high-quality sound designs, Hollt crafts a sonic landscape that is intricate, captivating and powerful.

‘The Void’ is an exploration of contrasts, delving deep into the realms of emptiness and energy. Emerging with a minimalist approach and constructing a sense of anticipation, the track swells to a big buildup and drop – a moment where its essence surfaces and ‘The Void’ truly shines with its overwhelming and exhilarating energy.

‘Resonate’ is the result of 2 amalgamated visions during an auditory expedition; the outcome of Hollt & Mitch de Klein’s collaborative studio efforts. Built on a foundation of dark and hypnotizing melodies with the warm Moog Sub 37's signature sound as a backbone, combined with carefully crafted organic texture sounds, the track is a journey through contrasting moods – from the dark, brooding undertones to the energetic release of the drop.

Several iterations of the track have been around since 2020, but the foundation and structure have stood the test of time. Both artists have been playing the track in numerous sets over the past years, using the crowd’s feedback to finetune the final version. With ‘Resonate’, Hollt and Mitch de Klein invite you to lose yourself in its reverberating depths.

On the dance floor both tracks have become entities of their own, with early support from Fideles, Konstantin Sibold, Collé and Olivier Weiter. The records weave through crowds, with cycles of anticipation and release, making ‘The Void’ and ‘Resonate’ not just tracks, but experiences.

Hollt's ‘The Void’, incl ‘Resonate’ w/ Mitch de Klein, is out now on die Stube Records

“Atmos Minimal – Second Wave” takes you deeper into the hypnotic world of minimal techno.  
This album blends rolling sub-bass, glitch textures, and atmospheric synth layers into immersive soundscapes designed for underground clubs, late-night drives, and focused listening.  

Each track carries its own pulse – from ghostly echoes to fractured signals, from static horizons to drifting subwaves. Together they form a cinematic journey through shadow and light, rhythm and silence.  

A continuation of the Atmos Minimal series, “Second Wave” delivers deep, meditative, and psychedelic techno energy for those who seek pure minimal sound.
