Digital Age

Layton Giordani - Digital Age

Senso Sounds has been redefining techno since 2014, becoming a home for forward thinking and sharp edged beats that have rocked dance floors from Berlin to Sao Paulo. Founded by one
of the scene’s most consistent producers and DJs - Oliver Huntemann - Senso has almost a hundred releases under the belt, from many of the defining artists of the last decade. Every so often the label drops a collection showcasing some of the artists that need to be on your radar, and Senso Sounds Level 11 doesn’t fail to deliver.
Metodi Hristov drops Warp Drive - a fittingly titled track that starts as it means to go on - hurtling through space at breakneck speed. The drums and percs fire the whole thing along while the bass and pads bring a sense of movement and excitement that never lets up. Strap in for this one.

Kaufmann’s Unravel Me sits nicely in this compilation - a tightly wound track that builds its energy over the full almost 9 minutes. The almost motorik drums maintain the groove while alien
sounds and metallic stabs add drama and energy. The vocal is a perfect encouragement to let go and feel the moment in all its glory.
Luis M’s Invisible Light is a hard-packed bomb - the groove is tight, built around a thick kick and precision hats and percussion. As the track progresses arpeggiated synths and dense slabs of sound wash across the track - the atmosphere is electric.

Internationally celebrated techno artist Victor Ruiz has enjoyed considerable success over recent years with his undeniably authentic strain of underground electronic music. A staunch contributor to the progression of the genre, Victor’s deft ear is guided by a sheer passion for evolution and artistic expression, making him one of the most dynamic contemporary talents on the circuit. Following a string of globally acclaimed releases in 2024, the Brazilian artist now unveils his most audacious body of work to date, delving into the archives of his un-released catalog – old and new – to form his latest medley of tracks, ‘This Is Not An Album’. Landing on Ruiz’s own imprint VOLTA, which now stands as techno’s fourth best-selling record label just two years after its inception.

In an era where music is often consumed with fleeting value, Ruiz challenges this notion head-on. His 8-track collection stands as a powerful statement against the conventional norms of the industry and serves as a bold, rebellious manifesto. 'This Is Not An Album' is not just a release; it is an artistic and conceptual project, deeply rooted in years of meticulous creation. The tracks – some dating back several years – have been carefully curated to form a sundried, yet cohesive body of work that defies both trends and traditional album formats, evoking a totally new listening experience for its audience.

Unlike conventional album arrangements, ‘This Is Not An Album’ represents Victor’s keen enthusiasm towards a plethora of genres, promising a slice of ear candy for each and every listener. Hosting sensibilities across the techno spectrum – from melodic, emotive and groovy, to the deep, dark and hypnotic depths of the genre – the mosaic of cuts aims to provoke a reaction from its audience that goes far beyond that of a commercialist music release. 
 
The release date for this collection - August 8, 2024 - also holds significance to its narrative; another intriguing facet to this conceptually-driven, artistic opus. Featuring 8 tracks, released on the 8th, and with the sum of 2024 amounting to 8, Victor sought to imbue his music with a sense of intentionality and depth, offering his listeners a meaningful and memorable experience tied to the alignment of numbers.
 
"This release is my way of pushing back against the transient nature of today’s music industry," says Ruiz. "I wanted to create something that would stand the test of time, that people could connect with on a deeper level. 'This Is Not An Album' is my revolt to a scene that often prioritizes quick hits over lasting impact.” He continues, “People may think that this has been a very elaborate project but it’s not. I just felt like releasing 8 tracks out of the blue and funnily enough the date aligned perfectly. I hope you enjoy.”
 
Victor Ruiz, known for his profound and immersive techno soundscapes, has crafted this collection to transcend the boundaries of commercialism and return to the liberative roots of dance music. 'This Is Not An Album' is not aimed at mainstream success; rather, it is a passionate expression of Ruiz’s artistic vision. Each track is a testament to his dedication to creating music that is enduring, evocative and deeply personal.
 
Fans and newcomers alike can expect a sonic journey that is thought-provoking, exhilarating and perhaps, at times, confusing. 'This Is Not An Album' encapsulates the essence of Victor Ruiz’s innovative spirit, producing with pure intent and unbridled creativity to deliver a listening experience that is as profound as it is joyously rebellious.

After a series of remixes and single track releases, Ritter Butzke Studio is back with a proper 4- Track EP by our latest family member Bela Brandes! Included in the package are three originals full of melodic summer goodness and an amazing groovy remix courtesy of Florian Rietze!

“Leon Diva“ is the title track of the EP and its a perfect fit for this catchy summer anthem. Its warm chord theme conveys a pleasant feeling from the first note and immediately puts a broad smile on the face of the listener. Up next is “Beirut Beige“, a track in which Bela shows his talent for creating special moods that take you on a relentless musical journey. Close your eyes and let yourself levitate to the beach. The third original “Cape Koons“ tops Bela's summer trilogy off. Starting as more of a dubby affair, it quickly progresses into a dancefloor bomb as the bassline melody sets in. Florian Rietze has used this tracks amazing elements to create a remix which captures the dubby athmosphere while adding unqiue grooves and synth work that display his class in producing melodic but danceable music.

All in all we are very proud of this outstanding body of work from our new label artist Bela Brandes and we hope you too will feel the special energy this EP delivers.
