Acronym (@4cr0nym)delivers his latest EP ‘Millennial Lowlife’ via Benthic this July, comprised of four originals from the Swedish artist. 

Across the past decade, Dan Vicente aka Acronym has been unveiling his twist on murky, hypnotic Techno via the likes of Semantica Records, Northern Electronics, and of course, his own Stilla Ton imprint, showcasing a more esoteric and experimental approach to the genre and steadily rising to prominence as a driving force for the Swedish Techno scene. Here we see him joining the roster of Benthic following its inaugural release back in September 2021 from Lucid Void. 

Title-track ‘Millennial Lowlife’ opens up the project and perfectly sets the tone with subtly unfurling atmospherics, gnarly bass stabs, and modulating synths atop a low-slung, driving rhythm. ‘Albanova’ then tips the focus over to an ambient tip, merging metallic arpeggio chimes with pulsating dub swells and tension-building textures. 

‘Vertical Garden’ opens the flip side and leans towards a more electro-tinged aesthetic courtesy of squelchy acid bleeps, crunchy drums, and ethereal pads before ‘Flashing LED’ rounds out the release, once again returning to an ambient feel with cinematic strings, meandering sub-bass tones, and shuffled percussion throughout.

Premiere: Hame - Dear Sammy

READ > https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-hame-take-your-time/

@pintai label head @hame-compathy steps into the spotlight with 'Set Me Free' — the imprint’s first solo extended player delivering a deeply emotive exploration of melodic deep house, weaving raw feeling into soaring synths and bittersweet progressions. It’s a record that doesn’t just play — it resonates, producing wave after wave of goosebumps. As a whole, 'Set Me Free' feels like a heartfelt nod to the world of Traumprinz and his many aliases, echoing the same ethereal intensity and introspective warmth.
