PSYTECH

A new artist to grace the Particles roster, Maximillian David Peter joins the growing ranks of dynamic and talented musicians with his Kerosino production soubriquet and an eponymously titled debut album.

Starting out at an early age as a DJ across his Karlsruhe hometown, the German artist found a connection with the raw emotion and seething dancefloor energy found in intimate club settings as well as the vast open spaces of festivals and raves. Turning this musical prowess behind the decks into technical knowhow and production craftsmanship within the studio, Kerosino has found a way to forge a white-hot steely passion into an unseen bond that connects club-goers with his distinctive and powerful music.

His 9-track "Kerosino" magnum opus is a sumptuous collection of synthesised analogue harmony, meticulous percussive verve and powerful rhythmic force. Opening proceedings, the beautiful arpeggiated layers of "Ayanga" and the interwoven patterns of "Luminga" scud across a club-friendly backdrop in silkily filtered fashion, creating cascading melodic patterns in their path. The Latin percussion and South American vibe of "Flamencano" creates a subtle urgency with its metallic rhythms and glissando synth lines, while a hypnotic melody repeats in effortless fashion.

"Jangul" continues the world-music theme with their African inspired rhythms and captivating toms, while syncopated melodies retain the Afro House vibe. A symbiotic relationship between bassline force and searing lead-line drama is in full evidence throughout "Nadu" and the atmospheric "Samintra", as delayed synth lines shoot across the mid-range in multiple layers while elemental energy courses through a rasping low-end. "Kukui" continues in similar vein as smooth motifs drift across the piece with timeless elegance while bassline presence is in full effect through subterranean swells.

Swirling warm conduits or airy synths drift over the intoxicating rhythms of "Kobayaho" in a deliciously creamy atmosphere before powerful bassline gravitas returns. Closing as it starts, "Raoz" exhibits a glorious array of melodies that coruscate over each other in unencumbered arpeggiated joy. Create a driving vitality atop heavy beat and rapid-fire organic percussion, the result is a rousing and dynamic finale with a subtle retro vibe.

Lighting a path to the future, Kerosino is on fire with his imaginative and vibrant debut album.

Luminga (Original Mix)

Ayanga (Original Mix)

In mysterious ways, paths from the past sometimes cross once again, leading to wonderful outcomes. Such is the case here, as we are thrilled to welcome our longtime companion, Maxi aka Kerosino, to our label for his upcoming EP.

His dark, midtempo-leaning sound perfectly suits the gloomy season and had us convinced from the very first listen. The two original tracks are complemented by equally compelling remixes from Air Horse One, Richard Elcox, and Matija.

We're delighted that this release has come to fruition and hope you enjoy it thoroughly. As always, the artwork has been contributed by our graphic wizard, Kilian Van de Water.

Introducing @kerosino

From the underground depths of dimly lit, sweat-drenched club venues to the boundless freedom of wild open-air raves, Kerosino found his calling amidst the collective energy of the dance floor. He was captivated by the euphoria that permeated the atmosphere, as beats throbbed through the night, uniting dancers in a primal connection.

Kerosino draws inspiration from these intense moments, channeling his passion into a singular mission: to create the sonic foundation for people to share beaming smiles on the dance floor. With each carefully curated track, he invites listeners on a transcendental journey where rhythms entwine with emotions, and melodies forge connections that resonate deep.
