The Belgian https://soundcloud.com/voltageimprint closes of its single digit releases with a fine taste, club-focused EP by https://soundcloud.com/altinbas & https://soundcloud.com/cirkle-1: Cynical Moves. Our premiere pick, ‘Divergence’, is part of the B-side and pulses through your speakers like a compelling invitation to hit the dance floor.

The duo tears open the EP with a clean-cut & high momentum mind-twister, ‘Cynical Moves’, setting the tone for what’s to come. While the pace and energy peak in the second track, the signature tunneling thrive is ever-present. Like a cat carrying her kitten by the neck, it lifts you up, controls you and drops you off elsewhere.

‘Divergence’ is a rambling pulsation, rhythmically building up towards another hypnotic wobbler. While trying to combine aesthetic quality with a high energy and emotional experience Altinbas and Cirkle manage to keep the underground feeling real.

Premiere: Altinbas & Cirkle - Divergence [VOLT009]

Mathys Lenne’s Reckon EP irrupts the Hayes catalog with an extravagant and fast-paced rhythmic exercise.

Debuting on the SK-X series with another collaborative EP hot on the heels of their recent VOLTAGE Imprint release are Belgium’s Altinbas and Greece’s Cirkle.

Landing on SK_X for the first time, Room Trax co-founder BLANKA delivers four tracks built for laser-lit warehouses and pitch-black basements alike. The A-side houses two modern takes on bleepy, sci-fi techno, while “Astral Dimension” and “Transversal” go deeper into a more introverted kind of ecstasy. BLANKA’s precise sound design and experience in the DJ booth ensures all four cuts will keep the room moving.

A1 / La Buena Suerte
A2 / Howl
B1 / Astral Dimension
B2 / Transversal

BLANKA - Transversal [SK11X017]

Returning to Token with his second solo contribution for the label, Ignez invites us back into his sonic world with his new chapter ‘Aventurine’. Providing yet again a record with novel texture and spatial work, Ignez guides us through a 4 track project orchestrated with intent and skill. 

‘Aventurine’ introduces the EP assertively with his unmistakably cinematographic approach. The title-track proves to be of considerable dimension, a precise and impactful percussion-line cuts through distant atmospheres, rendered all the more dramatic with the presence of a cello. Ignez then takes down the narrative tone a notch to make space for the A2 ‘Seraphic’, narrowing his focus and stripping down the record. Giving the track time to sink in an expertly crafted tension, it isn’t until halfway through that the main attraction is revealed. Reverse, spiraling stabs dot along a persistently imposing rhythm to make ‘Seraphic’ very representative of a style that Ignez has claimed over the past few years. Whipping outward with white noise to accentuate the listener’s notion of space, we arrive finally to the second half of ‘Aventurine’. A perfect follow-up to the last cut awaits under the name ‘Verdant’. Dry percussion and string-like stabs, this time sharper and more metallic, make for a record where timing is the driving force. More mute than the previous tracks, ‘Verdant’ makes a perfect dip into the final element of the EP - ‘Cure’. Back into a more harmonic style, Ignez uses vocals and background synth work to create tonality before throwing in the ear-candy. Spacing out elements to conclude the EP in a meditative fashion, Ignez once again strikes a balance between technical knowhow and acute storytelling.

A1 / 1 Aventurine
A2 / 2 Seraphic
B1 / 3 Verdant
B2 / 4 Cure
