Synthakt

From Austria with a fistful of steel comes the guy that at the moment seems to forge his snares and tunes with the very help of Hephaisto himself.  

Tight-knit to classical and orchestral soundscapes, Synthakt adds a uncompromising & technical yet emotionally triggering sound to the Drum&Bass panorama, which is giving him a lot of support by established artists like Ivan Shopov, Maxim Anokhin and Noel Wessels.

Memento Mori, the lead track of his upcoming 4 track EP, is perhaps the best example for epic modern drum&bass and what to expect from Synthakt.

Synthakt - Memento Mori // out on 29/06/2015

Synthakt - Red Shift EP 
Algorythm Recordings ALGO018 
Release date: 4 November 2016

Synthakt is a drum & bass producer with a penchant for punishment from Salzburg, Austria. He fuses pummeling bass and a technical drum sound straight out of hell with dark undertone melodies that would make the hair stand up at the back of your neck. Sinister forces no doubt put him in the crosshairs of Counterstrike, who couldn’t help to notice this rising dark star.  His menacing sound has also caught the ears of other ominous overlords such as June Miller, Limewax, Pythius, Cooh, Prolix and The Panacea amongst others.  

The EP starts off with Faint where a pounding drum workout responds to a screeching robotic stab. Next up is Redshift, a tearing reece and amen foundation sets the tone for a dark melodic synth line. Following is Spiral View. An infectious blood curdling sound sits on top of hard as nails two step drums. Lastly I Believe sees Synthakt collaborate with Counterstrike where an apocalyptic intro leads to a drop that will take heads clean off.
