@norbakmusic - Struggle In Vain (incl @kwartz remix) - Soma583d
1. These Hurrying Years
2. Struggle In Vain
3. It Will Not Consume Us
4. It Will Not Consume Us (Kwartz Remix)

Rising Techno star Nørbak makes a welcome return to Soma with his second release the Struggle In Vain EP. The prolific young Portuguese producer has had an incredible year so far in terms of releases and this 2nd release with Soma marks a decided upturn in showcasing his well crafted and defined sound. Adding to the EP’s already heavy sound is Spanish producer Kwartz who delivers an epic remix in his own inimitable style.

Subtly and hypnotism are trademarks of Nørbak’s sound and opener These Hurrying Years is a perfect example of him using both of these to work in tension throughout. Title track Struggle In Vain leans on driving and direct elements that deliver on pure intensity. It Will Not Consume Us works in broken beat rhythms allowing Nørbak to bring a sense of groove whilst more atmospheric elements evolve throughout. The Kwartz remix of It Will Not Consume Us closes out the EP with great depth as layer upon layer unfolds, utilising the original’s atmospheres and melodic tones, creating a whole new entity.

SHINY DILDO DUSTY DICK

The Attic Music label strives to keep us dancing in these difficult times with a new EP from red hot young Portuguese talent Nørbak featuring a remix from the label’s owner Fabrizio Lapiana. 

Over the last four years, Artur Moreira has quickly established his avant-garde techno sound on labels like Semantica, Soma, Warm Up Recordings and his own label, Hayes. Always exploring the deep and dark end of the spectrum, he has picked up props from the likes of Oscar Mulero and Dasha Rush while going on to establish his name around Europe with killer sets at places like Tresor in Berlin. 

The excellent 'Pledge I' opens up with a menacing groove that burrows late into an underground cavern. It sounds earthy and organic and the rock solid kick drums get you into a state of hypnosis while the scurrying synths add more details in which to get lost. 'Pledge II' is another masterfully heady and journeying track that layers up more rubbery, propulsive kick drums with fizzing, electrified synth sounds and pads that encircle you and get you into a state of trance. It's hugely warm and atmospheric. 

Over the last decade, Lapiana and his label have become synonymous with evocative techno soundscapes on the finest labels around. Here he serves up a remix of 'Pledge III' that is perfectly smooth and seductive, with soft, looping melodic phrases slowly shapeshifting and melting your mind as they do so. The drums burrow deep into the night and make this a timeless minimal techno classic.  Last of all, 'Pledge IV' is a silky techno track that rolls to infinity, with cosmic pads and subtle melodies all weaving around each other and tying your brain in knots.  

This is another tasteful EP of high grade techno that works mind, body and soul.

The From 0-1 crew are made up from unsuspecting cities in USA such as San Francisco, Oakland and Seattle. Launching in 2008, they have featured music and remixes by artists such as Samuli Kemppi, Mike Parker, Kyle Geiger, Alex Bau, Tim Xavier and continue to impress with their steady approach.

The latest EP sees a vinyl and digital drop titled Life Under Lockdown compiling tracks from a tight bunch of serious Spanish soothsayers Kessell, HD Substance, Joton and American label head JX-216.

One half of duo Exium with Tensal, Kessell also runs the Granulart imprint and is closely affiliated with Oscar Mulero’s PoleGroup institution as well as his music hitting Developer’s Modularz and EarToGround amongst others.

For this DT:Premiere we selected his track “Decompressing” with its throbbing bassline and metallic hits creating a subsonic groove and incrementing tension. The phasers and raw textures make it a dominant ride while the compulsory built in funk makes it simply flutter with style.
