Victor Ruiz’s VOLTA imprint heads into 2024 in the same vein as it ended 2023, with an unrelenting flow of top-quality releases, the next from Wehbba and label boss, Victor Ruiz. After their infamous b2b at Warehouse Project in December 2022, it was maybe a sign of things to come, and after not collaborating for almost 10 years, the duo found time in Sao Paulo, resulting in their next release ‘Stand’.
The title cut ‘Stand’ was made during lockdown, “It felt fast at the time, but then techno had a surge in faster bpm’s being played and released, so when I came back to the track 4 years later, it almost feels slow” says Wehbba. “I sent the track to Victor, and he added some drums and vocals that were perfect, but it wasn't until we played it out, that we realised what was missing”. Laced with enveloping acid and modulating analogue elements from early on, its ebb and flow of gripping peaks and troughs filled with expansive soundscapes, hooking vocals and riveting crescendos are the perfect precursors to its several gritty, sawing synth lead. “Now we are both in Lisbon, we got into the studio again and worked out the finer details and completed the track” adds Wehbba.
‘Silo’ completes the release with an appropriate amount of ‘boom’ throughout. Thumping kicks and subtle percussive drive lead the way along hollowed-out sub-bass and melancholic arps that expand further into the mix, giving rise to sharply rising synth lines and pulsating bass stabs. A progressively climbing roller with endless energy and loads of off-beat shuffle throughout, it perfectly caps off an impressive release.

From the deep confines of the universe, we receive emissions of HC Records’ 21st release - Those Dark Whims by UHF, the production duo and Gladio Operations label heads José Castillo and David Aragón. An exciting digital LP from which a selection of tracks have been extracted for vinyl along with remixes by two label regulars, Estrato Aurora and The Lost Boys.

Skynet Was Shy opens both the LP and the vinyl, a hypnotic starting point in which the most vibrant and crystalline electro fuses with acid sequences to generate a state of pure trance, complimented and driven by spiralling sequences and mantra-like vocals. The second track on the LP and A2 on the vinyl is The Lost Boys' remix of Skynet Was Shy. A rough and sharp reinterpretation where the use of 303 sequences continues but focuses on more of a physical than a mental dance.

Hanging Baskets reactivates the state of infinite mental suspension that underlies this powerful and bold composition with deft and minimalistic use of elements: sharp broken rhythms, a dense melodic environment but with occasional moments of pure light and a new vocal message that ignites in our minds.

The B-side kicks off with Estrato Aurora's remix of Day Dream, which as usual in the work of the acclaimed Valencian producer, extends the original version to 8 minutes, giving it an unusual emotionality created by an amalgam of sound textures that interweave multiple pads, mutant melodies and pulsating percussion. Closing the vinyl, UHF's machines join forces with the lyrics of another electro heavyweight in Protestas En Las Redes Feat. Dark Vektor, a combative discourse in which the powerful and robotic vocal message of the Terrassan producer ascend alongside the futuristic melodies, extra-dimensional violins, spatial arpeggios, and metallic rhythms of the Madrid duo.

Five bonus tracks complete the UHF experience, starting with the title track, Those Dark Whims, a perfect blend of funk bass lines, helical synthesisers sequencing sonic chains of acid trance and legendary vocal samples.

The original version of Day Dream, is perhaps the LPs deepest and most emotional track. Low bpms, a rapturous rhythm that alternates syncopated passages with a commanding 4x4 and an atmosphere reminiscent of film noir soundtracks.

Lowering our heartbeat even more to a chill out state, Space Marmalade is served to us rich and tasty on a slice of toast, all sweetness with a purple and phosphorescent touch in this extra-terrestrial downtempo composition. We wake up from the space dream to embrace the emotions created by Tales Of Saigon, Belgian-flavoured Techno that reminds us of early 90s compositions with renewed sound aesthetics that we could imagine moving to on the dance floor of the mythical Boccaccio Life. A wink to the 1979 classic, The Warriors, directed by Walter Hill leads us into Baseball Furies, a playful, nocturnal, and hyper-muscular slice of electro. Thick drums, bouncy bass, fx and dark pads unify mystery and rogue dance.

On Tuesday 30/04/24 the LP will be presented live at Killing Time, the physical headquarters of the label located in Valencia. Following an interview conducted by HC label boss David Verdeguer, the duo will be DJing along with two of the vinyl’s guest remixers, Estrato Aurora and The Lost Boys.
