The Connection

Under a glowing moon, orcs and fairies come together for an electric techno dance. The orcs stomp heavily to the pounding bass, their strong movements creating a powerful rhythm, while the fairies flutter around them, their delicate wings sparkling in the strobe lights. 

As the music pulses, the orcs cheer and celebrate, combining their raw energy with the fairies' whimsical grace. This unique blend of strength and lightness transforms the night into a magical dance party, where both worlds unite in joy and rhythm.

Sisko Electrofanatik returns to his label, Gain Records, with the release of his new 15-track techno album, 'Starboy' in celebration of his 20-year career.

This is Sisko Electrofanatik's first album, and it's a dynamic selection that showcases the Italian techno maestro at his very best. The album orientates around the peak time techno style that is trademark to his sound, while also embracing styles including progressive, electro, downtempo, raw and acid.

Based in Rome, Sisko Electrofanatik first broke onto the scene two decades ago when he was a regular feature of Carl Cox's record label, Intec. His captivating use of melody, intelligent sample selection, and energising percussion, have made him one of techno's most esteemed producers.

His music is regularly set listed by techno's most iconic DJs, and he has been signed to prestigious record labels including Alan Fitzpatrick's We Are The Brave, Monika Kruse's Terminal M, Spartaque's Codex, and many others of equal calibre.

Gain Records is Sisko Electrofanatik's own record label, and it's a globally respected imprint that regularly places inside of Beatport's Top 100 sales chart. It has a forward-thinking and innovative reputation, and Sisko Electrofanatik regularly uses it as a platform to release his own music.

Carl Cox has already supported tracks off this album in his DJ sets, such as the final track, "Alter Ego."

The album is a dynamic selection that sets the scene with the dystopian pads and suspense building acid of, "Starboy." The album then gets the listener locked in with the uplifting pads and hulking bass of, "Thrust."

"Ziggurath" is dark and brooding with it's throbbing bassline and electrifying lead synth. The next two tracks, "Syntagma," and "Zork," continue on the same peak time vibe, then "Opale" has a raw and hypnotic groove.

The seventh track, "Get Lost" features the voice of Lory who is a singer from Rome, and it's a melodic techno track with an emotive vocal. "Ad Astra" picks up the pace again with its dark and hammering groove.

"Elements' featuring Leah Rose keeps the dark atmosphere, but has an extended breakdown with a powerful vocal. Track ten is the downtempo "Acidland," which is a trippy slice of electronica with acid synths and cinematic pads.

"Imnot" lifts the intensity with its high-octane groove and dubby pads, then "Diapason" is a deep minimal track with house influences. "Supernatural" brings things back to peak time, then the tense pads of "Fable" is the penultimate track, before "Alter Ego" closes the release with its hypnotic flow.

Sisko Electrofanatik - Supernatural (Original Mix)

Really Great is one of those tracks I started a long long time ago... just fragments of the original idea now. A drum loop off my old mpc, a chopped vocal, a mood I couldn’t name. I sat on it like I do, just to forget about it, then pulled it out of the archive and mashed it back together with some fresh samples and a new trick or two.

It’s lo-fi house, techno-adjacent, whatever. Banging kick, tucked hats, and a vocal of sorts. Real loopy... maybe even meditative. Doesn’t rush anything. It takes its time getting where it’s going, but it gets there. Atmosphere more than anthem. A little cracked, a little submerged, but it is what it is.

Call it "lo-fi sample house" if you need to label it. I just call it Really Great.
