Three brand new burners from the Rostock-born Berlin-based Carlo Ruetz. Building on his unwavering commitment to hard hitting, minimal tinged techno for the main room, these tracks emit a sense of twisted, narcotic urgency that fits perfectly to the Senso Sounds aesthetic.
'Afterhour' is an all-guns-blazing techno banger, with edgy drums and trippy, intense synth splashes. 'Butterfly' keeps up the vibe, throwing in a cut-up vocal and firing snare hits. Last up, title track 'Critical Mass' employs a rolling, pulsing bassline, sci fi synth flourishes and plenty of dark atmosphere to deliver an exceptional futuristic bomb for the dance.

The next installment of the Senso Sounds Level series sees us hit edition 9 - with another exciting
crop of artists to watch. 80 releases in and Senso continues to keep the quality at an almost
unthinkable level - and here is yet more evidence. Level 9 is four cuts from four artists - starting
off with Weltenstein, a DJ live act, classical concert pianist and producer based in Cologne.
He brings us 'Chiapas' - a tough-as-nails techno roller with crisp percussion and an aggressive
temperament. The Kech is a musician and DJ from Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine. His 'Strong Liquid'
track is a hypnotic, grooving tech cut that pulls you into its spell. The Russian artist Lie2you has
been receiving a lot of support from techno royalty like Dubfire and Richie Hawtin, and here with
'Find The Way' we are blessed with an exceptional piece of highly dynamic techno, built for big
systems and primed to hit hard. Last up is Roman Adam’s trippy, spacy techno journey to outer
space 'Dark Side of the Moon'. Inspired by the Senso back catalogue, Adam’s track is the sound
of him musing on the unknown, and imagining an exciting journey of discovery - a perfect fit for
the label.

Tracklist:
01. Weltenstein: Chiapas
02. The Kech: Strong Liquid
03. Lie2You: Find The Way
04. Roman Adam: Dark Side Of The Moon

More heat from Senso Sounds courtesy of the up-and-coming South African producer Lewis. The Target Acquired EP is a perfect example of his complex blend of deep & dark minimal techno
filled with heavy baselines, intricate synth work and percussion. Forever Consumed sets out the plan early - hard-hitting edgy beats, aggressive synths, and keen ear for sound design and drama shine through. Breaking Bad is just as impactful, sharing a similar sound palette that lets the percussive synth programming lead the way. The title track rounds things off nicely - sleek, minimal and effective, featuring the same detuned vocal style as the preceding tracks.

Hamburg-based producer Carbon returns to Oliver Huntemann’s Senso Sounds label with two fat slices of melodic techno. Riewert Petersen is the man behind the moniker, a renowned producer and live act that has released a slew of well received tracks on the likes of Alula Tunes, Dark Face Recordings, Subios Records, Dense Audio, Moonbootique and many others. Here on Senso, the ecstatic Free Your Head brings his signature, taut techno sound back into focus. The track somehow balances pure adrenaline with a sense of suave restraint - a huge dancefloor moment in the making. Don’t Wanna Sleep also treads a similarly euphoric path - a pulsating bassline sets the tone before firing percussion, a slick vocal sample and various synth lines provide the drama.

Roman Adam, one half of the renowned The Coast project and co-owner of the Fish & Chicks imprint joins the Senso Sounds roster with a blistering techno three tracker for Oliver Huntemann’s exceptionally prolific techno imprint. First up is Elevate - a taut and rough roller with huge synth bursts and acidic squiggles. Kraft Effect is similarly focussed - a laser sharp groove punctuated by syncopated percussion and arpeggiated, modular style lines. This one builds and builds. Pretend finishes off the release, another firing, honed slice of techno weaponry that fits perfectly into the Senso canon.

André Winter returns to Senso Sounds with the Tripppin’ EP. The Hamburg native does not hold back - Tripppin’ is a mind-melting techno excursion driven by acidic synth fluctuations, driving drums and psychedelic sounds and samples sure to hit home with those experiencing altered states.
The YellowHeads add their spin to it also - bringing the pounding vibes to the fore and adding their own tripped out take via huge, euphoric synth sounds and cleverly modulating elements.
Last up is Maksim Dark - the Russian is no stranger to warped, psychedelic techno and here he again does not disappoint. Stripping the track down to a drum machine and a bass line, he slowly builds up the intensity with trippy synth effects and a huge breakdown.
