Markantonio returns to his label AnalyticTrail with a two-track techno release infused with dark atmosphere and swelling intensity.
One of Italy’s most iconic artists, Markantonio inspired a generation when he helped put the Naples techno scene on the map over two decades ago. In addition to playing DJ sets at clubs and festivals all over the world, he has also released music on many of the most influential record labels.
Recently he has featured on imprints such as Paco Osuna’s Mindshake, Spartaque's Codex and Ramon Tapia's Say What?, but he also has many classic tracks on labels ranging from Adam Beyer's Drumcode to UMEK's 1605.
This time he is back on his own label AnalyticTrail, which has been a regular outlet for Markantonio along with releasing music from other artists including Joseph Capriati, Wehbba and Luigi Madonna.
“Shout” opens the release with its rolling bassline and suspense building pads, while the pounding kick drum and rattling hi-hats provide a driving energy. Second on the EP comes the trippy melody of “The Light", which has a subtle euphoria underpinned by hard-hitting percussion.

Markantonio - The Light

Artist: Hybrasil
Label: Hybrasil
Title: Hybrasil24

What does 24 hours of writing music sound like? In December 2020 Hybrasil introduced his Hybrasil24 Project in collaboration with Beatport. Hybrasi24 is a test of endurance, creativity and improvisation. Over the course of 24 hours, Hybrasil wrote, recorded and produced music live from his Berlin Recording Studio (HBL Studios). The idea was to test the limits of creativity in a confined space for an extended period of time with the best compositions from the live broadcast to be released on the Hybrasil label as a concept release. The 11th release sees the first compositions from that project emerge. 

Creative Process:
Hybrasil24 is a 360 creative concept, all writing, recording, sound engineering, production, post-production, mixing and mastering conducted by Hybrasil. This process draws from every facet of his recording career, from his time as a sound engineer working with vintage recording consoles to his solo studio works with vintage drum machines, synths and samplers. Hybrasil24 brings all of these worlds together

03: Hypno 6
04: Acid Wave

After his recent contribution to Second State’s latest compilation, DJ/Producer Kai Van Dongen presents his first solo release with the Berlin favourite. Based in London by way of Johannesburg, Kai is quickly establishing his rightful place within the scene, with additional releases across some of techno’s most revered labels already under his belt. 

“Flash” opens up the record with high intensity fast paced rhythms. Heavy kick drums pound while frantic hi-hats gradually grow and build into the track before an array of percussions are brought into the mix. A deep electro twinged bass line adds extra weight to the soundscape while fluttering keys float here and there before submerging into the powerful bass. Up next is “Vortex”, Kai makes use of a number of impactful breakdowns that separate the bass driven main body. Heaving kick drums and a low, tremouring bassline dominate the opening, drawing you in further before twisted synth notes are slowly dragged in. A choppy vocal sample reverberates over the riotous drums as the various elements are eliminated and faded out to close. 

On the flip side is “Hypno 6”. This celestial cut dials back the intensity while still managing to deliver on impact. A myriad of bleeps and tweets align together to build the melody while toms, kicks and snares drive the rhythm. Spiked cymbals and cosmic synths constitute a sci-fi narrative, while remaining firmly club-driven. Closing out the record is “Acid Wave”. As the title suggests, this thriving acid laced roller ends the record on a triumphant high-note. The 303 takes full control while a thumping kick drum and searing hot cymbals take care of the percussion. Major keys play and overlap upon one another to develop an undeniably upbeat and joyful mood to the closer. Not your usual acid track, but one that shows the creativity and cunning of Van Dongen’s productions.
