Hailing from the magical land of India, vinayak^a is no stranger to mystical rhythms and mysterious atmospheres. A part of India's ever-growing scene, he's leading the way with a series of releases that explore the deeper side of electronic music. This one is no different!

With a deep and warm bassline that picks you up and carries you across like a magic carpet, vinayak^a takes us into his dreamy world with such ease, that the listener cannot help but be transported to the ethereal realms. On the flip-side, German veteran Martin Buttrich disassembles the original into a pair of spacey delights, with his powerful yet atmospheric touch that made him one of the most respected producers around the globe.

Track listing:

1. vinayak^a – Set Her Free (Original Mix)

“Desert Rose” is a hypnotic blend of chill techno and melodic trance, crafted to transport the listener into a world where endless dunes meet the stillness of the night. The track blooms like a fragile rose in the heart of the desert—soft, emotional, and glowing with hidden warmth beneath a dark, minimalist rhythm.

A gentle pulse leads the journey, layered with smooth pads, distant echoes, and a steady deep–tech beat that feels like footsteps across warm sand. Subtle melodic lines rise like moonlit mirages, creating a soothing yet mysterious ambience that pulls you deeper into its atmosphere.

This is a track made for:
✨ late-night drives
✨ sunset sessions
✨ dreamy chill playlists
✨ hypnotic trance lovers
✨ emotional electronic journeys

“Desert Rose” captures the feeling of being alone with your thoughts—surrounded by silence, guided only by rhythm, emotion, and the soft glow of the night desert.

Let the bloom begin. 🌹🏜️

Desert Rose - A Hypnotic Journey Through Silent Dunes and Midnight Echoes

Event: Tech Abduction - 30 July 2016

Daäna & Brendan Lawless dropped an incredible EP late last year with 'Lawless' (one of our favorites from 2016!) and we simply had to get these two Toronto-based musicians together again for our annual showcase release. With the knowledge these guys would be no doubt putting together some slick, deep melodic sounds, they were slated to open the release even before we heard a second of music. 'Amesha Spenta' is perhaps their most intimate and unforgettable track to date, and we know it will remain a favorite among enthusiasts of the melodic techno genre.

Aleckat and Hynamo go toe to toe for this exhilarating Australian collaboration EP, Apollo. Immense is an understatement when describing this stratosphere-breaching sound that they've executed with textbook precision. The EP is saturated with a sonorous pallet, expansive melodic phrasing and deep, rolling basslines. This psytrance-influenced progressive techno will launch you out into the ether with cosmic effects, punchy drums and roaring synths. Apollo is certainly one giant leap for psy-techno.
