🎧 DKTech – Definition of Hardgroove (LP)
Label: Rhythmic Beatz Records
Release Date: July 23, 2025
Catalogue: RBR001

With his debut full-length LP, Definition of Hardgroove, DKTech lays down a manifesto for the new wave of fast, percussive, no-compromise techno. Across nine relentless tracks, the Croatian producer delivers a pure and unapologetic journey through modern hardgroove—rooted in raw tribal energy and built for the underground.

Each track pulses with trademark DKTech intensity: thundering kicks, shuffled hi-hats, Latin-influenced percussion, hypnotic rhythms, and warehouse-ready power. There’s no filler—just nine precise, high-BPM statements aimed squarely at dancefloors, both physical and mental.

DKTech returns to the frontlines with his latest offering, Nine Seals of Namtar. A relentless, myth-infused journey into the heart of sonic darkness featuring seismic low-ends, razor-sharp percussions and an unflinching tempo.

Drawing inspiration from ancient Mesopotamian lore, Nine Seals of Namtar evokes the chaos and inevitability of fate, a fitting theme for a release that doesn't let up. Each track is a ritualistic stampede through distorted reality, summoning raw emotion through punishing grooves and relentless rhythm.

The release also features a collaboration with labelhead and techno architect MarAxe, in a track that fuses their styles into a single, devastating weapon of sound.

The seals are broken. Namtar walks. Enjoy!

HARD TECHNO 0410

DKTech returns to Rhythmic Beatz Records with his latest three-track EP, Keep the Groove.

DKTech delivers a masterclass in modern hypnotic hardgroove techno, a sound that channels the raw, pounding energy of the classic Berlin underground while pushing the genre's rhythmic boundaries. This EP is a high-octane journey into the heart of the dancefloor, built on deep, driving grooves, razor-sharp percussion, and an uncompromising focus on hypnotic intensity.

The three tracks are perfectly tuned peak-time weapons, embodying the "tough with groove" ethos of the hardgroove revival. Expect pounding kicks, intricate syncopated drums, and dark, looping synth textures that are both relentless and mesmerising. This is the sound of the contemporary European rave scene: fast, funky, and powerfully driving.

Nacido en la cuna de la musica electrónica , destino en pleno auge en cuanto a cultura de club se refería, las islas baleares no podrían ser mejor lugar para empaparse de ello.
De descendientes con una gran riqueza y calidad musical,
coleccionista de musica electrónica desde bien pequeñito, se interesa por este mundo a mediados de los 90’s cuando solamente contaba con 15 años.
En el año 98, Comenzaría su andadura mostrando su arte desde las tarimas de las galas de tarde de la playa de palma, demostrando su sentido del ritmo impecable y su calidad artística y llegando, en años sucesivos, a recorrer las mejores salas de las islas, como Zorba’s, Riu palace, BCM, Voodoo house, Space ibiza, Amnesia, Privilege, Es paradís etc. 
Donde llega a coincidir con Dj’s nacionales de la talla de Carlos gallardo, Isaac indart, Willy de loren, Javi de colors, e internacionales como Carl cox, John aquaviva, Tania vulcano, Oscar mulero, Frankie Knuckles entre otros, los cuáles serían sus referencias musicales a partir de entonces. Contagiandole esa pasión por el mundo de la noche, pero desde el otro lado de la cabina.
En 2003 abandona las islas para instalarse en Barcelona, donde comienza a descubrir otro tipo de clubs y artistas, donde realmente descubre las que serian sus influencias futuras, esas con las que se identifica musicalmente. Artistas como Miss kittin, Adam beyer, Richie hawtin y su idolatrada Misstress Barbara, comienzan a inculcarle su gran pasion por el Techno en todas sus vertientes de la mano de clubs como Florida135, Razzmatazz y festivales como Monegros desert festival o Creamfields, etc. cual sería su sorpresa de que años después sería parte de todos ellos, eso si, nunca desde la cabina.
Al provenir de una familia humilde y limitada económicamente, sus prioridades nunca pudieron ser formarse como Dj de manera profesional, pero siguió rodeándose de ellos mientras trabajaba en los mejores clubs de la península y alternaba con su trabajo de dia.
En 2009, despues de varios años sin trabajar en la noche, empieza a formar parte del equipo de Pacha la pineda, el pacha mas grande del mundo, donde conoce a Dj’s nacionales e internacionales como Dj Tiesto, Armin van buuren, David guetta, Joachim garraud, Hugo sanchez, Andre viccenzo, Juanjo martin entre otros.
Asi es como se despierta de nuevo esa devoción por los platos, ahí es donde resurgió esa dedicación que nunca ejerció mas que en fiestas privadas y en “petit comité” pero nunca dejo de profundizar haciendo de el lo que es hoy, lo que le apasiona y le identifica.
Eso es Franco Castigliani, una amalgama de referentes, estilos, vivencias y épocas que desde 1995 hasta nuestros días han alimentado esa esencia que plasma en sus trabajos, alejádose de lo comercial y las corrientes, con un estilo mas que personal.
