INFO:

Arriving on transparent blue vinyl, the fourth installation of Figure’s Hardspace series brings six new re-interpretations of Len Faki’s favorites via his Hardspace alias.

Starting with a true classic, the gem that is Josh Wink’s Sixth Sense picks up on the original’s tight plastic groove and creates some serious low end rumble.
A less obvious choice, Aoki Takamasa’s minimalist dub from Japan, gets a complete makeover in the Hardspace edit, using driving percussion to morph the pensive blueprint into an upbeat peaktime slammer.
One of the most iconic basslines of the last decade, DJ Yoav B’s Energize is a standout on its own but paired with the relentless groove of the high-energy Hardspace remix it unlocks new levels of rave potential.
Huxley’s Weapon 3 was maybe one of the darkest tunes ever released on the otherwise house-centric catalogue of UK label Aus, which Len Faki already played back when it was first released. The Hardspace Mix merges a feeling explosive force with the originals sultry ambiance, catapulting the track back onto today’s dancefloors.
Colourful, dubby synth stabs are what keeps the momentum on peak time roller Funktion by French producer Tuttle, which in its Hardspace version packs even more heat, as Faki employs his signature claps and tunes up the original’s enervating siren sound, squeezing out every last drop of energy.
Originally released in the 90ies, Mike Parker’s Shakuhachi Two is as techno as it gets. Only now sounding even more powerful and dynamic, as the Harspace Mix keeps all of the original goodness while stacking additional propulsive percussion for a sweaty floor workout.

CDTRAX & Gabrielle join forces for a striking deep modular techno statement on Say What? with the Form And Void EP - a four-track journey that explores tension, texture, and the interplay between raw machine energy and hypnotic groove.

We start off with 'Form And Void' an immersion into contrast: delicate atmospheres collide with raw, pulsating low-end pressure. A spiraling modular sequence evolves throughout, never static, shifting shapes like liquid metal in constant transformation. Echoed percussion and shadowy textures create a sense of vast negative space, allowing the groove to breathe yet always pushing forward with purpose.

 Next up is 'Balance' a hypnotic rhythm sets the foundation, while modulated synth tones weave in and out, destabilizing the listener’s sense of grounding. Subtle harmonic layers rise and fall like distant signals, offering moments of serenity before plunging back into rolling, hypnotic momentum. The track becomes a meditation on equilibrium - how groove, distortion, and space coexist within one evolving system.

 The third track on the release is 'Kill The Messenger' a rolling deep excursion with metallic percussion and a growling, distorted modular bassline. The arrangement strips things down to essentials, creating an atmosphere of urgency and confrontation. With its minimal yet impactful design, it conjures the feeling of being locked inside the machine.

 We are closing the EP with, 'Mechatronic' an ode to kinetic energy and futurist sound design. Pulsating modular sequences interlock with crisp, precision-engineered drum programming, creating an almost biomechanical groove. The textures blur the line between human and machine, organic imperfection and engineered precision.
