Victor Ruiz’s VOLTA imprint is fast becoming one of techno’s most prominent stables, thanks to a slew of releases from the label frontman himself and offerings from some of the most established names and exciting prospects in the genre.
The latest VOLTA outing features Ruiz alongside renowned Berlin techno stalwart Alex Stein. With a very close friendship that spans over 15 years, they have spent countless hours in the studio together and released a selection of successful releases between 2009 and 2013, but this new EP will mark the first collaboration for over a decade. To mark the 10-year hiatus, they decided to come back with a bang, and chose to make tracks which resonate with their older sound as well as bringing their new sounds to the mix, as a way to pay tribute to some of their first work together. It is definitely a very special comeback.

Alex and Victor’s ‘Human Robot’ EP encapsulates a three-track techno powerhouse - a trio of futuristic-inspired grittiness laced with ominous flows, sinister melodies and haunting vocals. The title cut ‘Human Robot’ kicks things off with a roughened electronic palette, capturing your intrigue with driving grooves, sweeping samples and intense glitchiness. The track’s racy journey pulls you through a kaleidoscope of riveting features with urgency, simulating an edge-of-the-galaxy-type pursuit vibe from start to finish.

‘The Heed’ comes next, bringing more weight and intent. Hard-hitting drums and shuffling hat grooves steer you forward alongside a ripping saw-synth lead, bass stabs and rising serene vocal layers to the point of atmospheric climax before elegantly reeling you into the second half of the voyage via a monstrously large throwdown featuring a more beefed-up version of that savage synth.

The release ends on ‘Darkplace’ featuring a gripping vocal topline from Born I, taking a more stripped-back approach to its predecessors. Much as the title would suggest, the track is pleasantly moody from the outset, building on thudding kicks and bellowing sub-bass notes as it rises from the depths via a series of intensifying layers of harmony that intertwine to create a broad sense of climax - arriving just in time to deliver another heavily danceable dose of raw driving techno goodness. Inspired by their older sounds, “Darkplace” is an ode to the past with a positive message for the future and what’s to come.

Remaining at the forefront of a genre is no small feat, yet Victor Ruiz and his VOLTA imprint remain synonymous with cutting-edge underground techno on a global scale. The latest release on VOLTA welcomes back budding Australian talent Lisa May, as she delivers another hugely impressive offering for the archives with her ‘Switch’ EP. First stepping out on VOLTA in 2022, Lisa May is back with another refreshing release, spanning three unique dancefloor cuts.

The title cut ‘Switch’ kicks things off with hammering kicks, crisp percussive drive, and a pulsating musical arrangement. Subtly bringing in that ethereal sound the label is known for, it’s a track with an immersive journey filled with retro soundscapes and a cinematic feel - loaded with danceable segments from start to finish.

Belgian warrior Sieg Motmans, aka Siege, brings four complete weapons to Alan Fitzpatrick’s
trailblazing label We Are The Brave. No excuses not to move to this one, with each track having
its own distinct dance floor appeal!
Straight out of the barrel with ‘Play It’, Siege brings you a fierce stomper, comprised of chunky,
grooving drums, subtle vocal flickers, building synths and some mental synths after the drop.
‘Galaxy’ is a perfectly formed progressive roller with all the traits of a classic terrace weapon.
Steering from being a cheeky groover into a huge drop with a soulful vocal chop that will switch
up your set in seconds. ‘That’s It’ is built from its fat chord structure with accompanying drums
and some synths from outer space. The record closes with ‘The Riff’, a bluesy roller with an
earworm of a riff over the top and some trippy vocal slices.

Mistrix - City Nights

Waiting is sort of an interim state that exists because of a future occurrence. But what kind of feelings are triggered if you realize that the anticipated event fails to occur? “I’m waiting for nothing.” Do you feel frustrated? Does the waiting period become a farce? Was it all for nothing?
“Waiting”, the latest track by melodic techno artist R.EK, addresses this ambiguous, hard to define emotional state. The staggering, driving bass line represents frustration; the catchy chord progression depicts despair. And every now and then, hope still shimmers through. 
In this instance, all the waiting wasn’t in vain. It was the seed for an infectious track that will resonate in your ears for a while.

About KNOTEN
Under the umbrella of KNOTEN, R.EK is currently developing a new live performance concept that attempts to reinvent the communication between the artist and the audience by adding innovative visuals to the show. The new track will be released under KnotenMusic, which was launched as part of the KNOTEN project.
