Phil Berg - Dārin [MR047]

We’re proud to finally welcome Phil Berg to Mutual Rytm with his long-awaited debut EP on the label: Dārin – a powerful collection of deep, driving and hypnotic techno.

A close friend of the label since becoming the first guest DJ at our inaugural label night in 2022, the Berlin-based artist has continued to carve out a distinctive path with his shadowy, immersive sound and unmistakable artistic identity. Across seven tracks, Phil showcases the full depth and intensity of his approach to techno, seamlessly connecting the raw energy of his improvisational live performances with the precision of his studio productions.

Pressed across five tracks on vinyl with two exclusive digital bonus cuts, Dārin is a bold and uncompromising statement from one of the scene’s most distinctive rising voices.

A standout addition to the Mutual Rytm catalogue – pre-order the limited edition 12” vinyl now on Bandcamp!

Phil Berg – Mephisto (MR047)

First invited as the debut guest DJ for Mutual Rytm’s inaugural label night back in 2022, Berlin’s Phil Berg has maintained a close relationship with the imprint ever since. Known for his shadowy, immersive sound, Berg has carved out a singular position within the scene - equally respected for his high-impact DJ sets, his improvisational live performances, and a production style defined by clarity, tension, and a deeply recognisable sonic identity. While his live shows remain a vital part of his artistic DNA, often shaping the raw ideas that later evolve in the studio, his work extends far beyond the club floor, marking him out as a fully formed and increasingly essential voice in contemporary techno. That connection between stage and studio is fully realised on ‘Dārin’, where Berg delivers a darker, more driving statement for his Mutual Rytm debut, with the title track already becoming a standout in the sets of label founder SHDW.

The title cut opens the EP with great urgency, as flaming drums and machine-gun synths are fired across the night sky, with sensuous whispers and sonar pulses adding the pull of the groove. Next, ‘Tempest’ brings big, banging hits, nailing down the kicks while rising tension appears through the backlit synths and distant bass rumbles. ‘Tanoo’ releases the pressure with a more luminous synth line that locks you in a trance as linear drums race on, while ‘Mephisto’ keeps you on edge with twitchy motifs and a burrowing bassline that drills down deep into a moody underworld. The EP closes with ‘Destiny Bond’, which rises with undulating, tactile lines, sleek synth smears, and a cosmic sense of travel. As digital bonus cuts, ‘Seiko’ and ‘Nyx’ bring anxiety and foreboding to the fore with two more muscular and physical deep techno hitters crafted for maximum impact.
