‘Intertwined’, the first collaborative EP by Paraíso founders @mariaamoramormaria & @shcuro, is up next on the decade-old Lisbon label. This pair of syncopated, energized, immersive techno tracks comes with remixes by Tresor residents Fireground and DC’s own Black Rave Culture, a trio composed of James Bangura, Amal, and Nativesun.

‘Waves of Hope’ opens the record in full force with a relentless beat that combines early 90s euphoric energy and jacked-up snares over a fat bassline, soulful pad progressions, technoid bleeps, dubby washes, and Maria Amor’s own soothing cut-up vocals, elegantly touching several foundational club music sounds through an inspired lens.

On the A2, ‘Hotspring Love’ brings levitating, airy textures and mixes them with subtle acid arpeggios, pure-hearted vocal melodies, and bouncy percussive accents. The rolling subwoofers of a proper techno party can practically be seen, the fast-paced kick perfectly perforating the bassline.

Two remixes can be found on the B-side: first up is Berlin-based @fireground_r12, who flip the original ‘Waves of Hope’ into a more concise take, exploring its dub influences and adding in cinematic, ravey chord progressions to a hypnotizing, ecstatic effect. The italian duo add a distinct dose of Neapolitan techno, carrying the textured intensity of that unmistakable sound.
@black-rave-culture pick up ‘Hotspring Love’ and turn it into an ode to junglism, reappropriating the original pads in a classic DnB workframe with crisp breakbeats and an absolutely nasty bassline that no words can do justice to.
