Stephen Disario delivers four-tracks as the debut release on his newly-launched imprint, and in so doing sets the tone for the output we can expect in years to come: driving basslines and infectious percussion crafted with meticulous perfection. Throughout the four tracks, Disario showcases what he does so well as a producer: groovy, funky techno that will always find its home in a proper underground techno setting.

The EP starts off with "Under The Rug," an hypnotic masterpiece that sucks listeners in and takes them deeper and deeper as the track's intensity builds and reaches its peak.

"Walking Through Trees" is next, picking up the tempo with an added groove carrying the track throughout... a real dance floor mover.

The pace continues with "The Marathon," a percussion-driven stomper characterized by well-crafted peaks and valleys permeated by distorted eerie vocals.

To conclude the EP, "Lights Down Under" showcases Disario's other signature techno soundscape. Here he takes the funk route, using an 808 clap and eerie howl broken by hard to discern and yet catchy vocals to great results.

Extract from "The Great Filter" - @isserving-berlin
Release date: April 23, 2023

...is serving001
Introducing ‘...is serving’, the label embodiment of DESSERT’s MDF dancefloor at ://about
blank and the culmination of a decade of careful curation in high-energy techno. For our
inaugural release, we bring you an emotionally charged journey into the fringes of hypnotic
techno by Black Mirror Park, with remixes by Jon Hester and Red Rooms.
‘The Great Filter’ merges a throbbing substructure, morphing chords, and a touch of acid into
a floating anthem equal parts pressure and serene oblivion. A high-energy voyage through
distant, unexplored worlds.
‘It Was All A Dream’ transports the listener to a delicate realm of dubby nostalgia with Lo-Fi
undercurrents. Soothing bells and washed-out percussion weave a vast, auditive tapestry
that unfolds deep landscapes of blissful introspection.
Jon Hester’s rendition of ‘The Great Filter’ imposes a shattering percussive superstructure
and cascading snare rolls, reforming the original’s pads into rays of bright energy that burst
through the overwhelming pressure.
Red Rooms transforms ‘The Great Filter’ into an array of shuddering machinery. Pulsating salvos of percussion ripple across a dark sea of underlying tension in a high-energy re-
imagination with industrial undertones.
With ‘The Great Filter’, Black Mirror Park has crafted an EP that draws its enthralling power
from the artful interplay of pressure and serenity. A transcendent journey through the
hypnotic fringes of techno is served.
