This project becomes the deepest expression of his connection with music and is born as the result of years of hard work, going through an extensive sound quest.

The release features 3 originals that synthesize the musical influences that Bernat's been developing since his first records, taking elements from minimal, house, techno and electro, and aiming directly to the dancefloor.

Side B includes an outstanding remix by another Argentinian fellow, the rising talent Percunta, who delivers an atmospheric and powerful version of the main track of the EP, giving it his unmistakable style.

In the bustling landscape of electronic music, where beats and rhythms intertwine to form the heartbeat of the nightlife, there exists a realm where creativity thrives, and souls find solace in sonic exploration. Within this realm resides an artist whose journey is as dynamic as the melodies he crafts. Enter Smev, a maestro of sound hailing from the vibrant town of Blackburn, nestled in the shadows of Manchester's storied musical legacy.

In an exclusive dialogue with Torture the Artist, Smev offers a glimpse into his world—a world where the routine of a day job in engineering fades into the symphony of studio sessions and pulsating nights on the dance floor. It's a life where the pursuit of musical expression is both a passion and a pilgrimage, where each beat is a testament to his unwavering dedication.

As he navigates the labyrinthine streets of Manchester, Smev reflects on its dichotomous allure—the euphoria of pulsating beats and the occasional discordant note that punctuates the nocturnal symphony. Yet, amidst the fervor of the city's electronic pulse, there lies a sense of belonging, a camaraderie forged on the dance floor, where music transcends barriers and binds souls in its rhythmic embrace.

For Smev, music isn't merely a soundtrack but a journey—a journey marked by poignant encounters and serendipitous discoveries. From the euphoric melodies of his formative years to the darker, introspective tones of his latest EP, each track is a testament to his evolution as an artist—a sonic odyssey that resonates with emotion and nostalgia.

As the conversation unfolds, Smev offers insights into his creative process, from the serendipitous genesis of track titles to the collaborative alchemy of studio sessions. With each revelation, it becomes apparent that his music is more than mere notes on a stave; it's a reflection of his innermost thoughts and emotions—a canvas upon which he paints his sonic tapestry.

Yet, amidst the accolades and aspirations, Smev remains grounded, his gaze fixed firmly on the horizon of possibility. With dreams of vinyl releases and intimate studio retreats, he embodies the restless spirit of an artist on the brink of discovery—a journey that promises to be as exhilarating as the music itself.

In the realm of electronic music, where beats collide and melodies intertwine, Smev stands as a beacon of creativity—a testament to the transformative power of sound. As the interview draws to a close, one thing becomes abundantly clear: for Smev, the journey is just beginning, and the music, like life itself, is an endless symphony waiting to be composed.

Dutch legend Boris Werner joins the TSOL ranks with an EP that serves as a hell of a statement piece. The gritty hypnosis of No Tantrums gives way to a proper last-tune-of-the-festival in Ochtend Glunderen @ Wildeburg, while L.S.D. is the type of big room tackle that only someone with years of experience playing on those stages could deliver. These are five top drawer nuggets.
