SAMA strikes down with his fifth techno outing on Maximalist_Minimalist since the opening of the label in 2022.

The title track ‘Phoneutria’ is one of SAMA’s most personal techno tracks, created from a desire to awaken people from their hypnosis in a set and to create a highlight, rather than trying to blend in. This semi broken-beat track is by far the most requested track in SAMA’s recent sets, and has been turning heads since the summer of 2023, getting heavy early rotation from Rødhåd and Rene Wise. 

Right after being struck by the opener track’s wall of sound, the beatless ‘A Last Speck Of Light’ creates a soft, cozy space that invites the listener into a state of stillness. ‘A Last Speck Of Light’ doesn’t try to take you anywhere, but is rather a moment suspended. A fragment of time that simply is, asking nothing but presence.

The B-side of MXMN005 is reserved for the more functional tracks, without losing the intricacies of SAMA’s perfectionism. ‘Silence Is For The Elite’ is a modern track with crisp and fun jittery sounddesign, built around a heavy groove. 

The last track of the EP, ‘Tiger Mosquito’, is the most forward-pushing of the four, with a very straight groove and dark, buzzing and almost aggravating textures and atmospherics, hence the name. 

All in all, MXMN005 shows exactly how Maximalist_Minimalist got its name. Tracks ranging from extremely minimalist and intimate to thunderous and filled to the brim with details. Music that doesn’t take itself too serious, and music that absolutely, and proudly, does.  

The artwork, as always, has been painted by Ric Santesteban, showing a new colour palate for the first time in the MXMN series, accompanied by 5 eyes for the fifth and maybe most personal techno release to date for the label.

MXMN005: Phoneutria

SAMA - MXMN005: Phoneutria

In the deepest heart of the night,
there is a place where music becomes
more than sound.

There —
in the quiet pulse between worlds —
the dancefloor awakens,
and every soul turns into a spark.

This track is my dedication.
My offering to those who turn sound into art,
and the dancefloor into a living universe.

They do not just play music —
they ignite it.

In their hands, music stops being entertainment.
It becomes creation.
Revelation.
A spark of the divine.

This track is overall a fusion of melodic techno with electro house. It aims to borrow some of the things that were good about the "big room EDM" era and infuse it with more modern club-driven flavors. The song feels like it's always a step ahead of you, much like how Mondays feel, hence the name. It features two drops and a good amount of negative space so that both the track and listener get a few chances to "breathe." I spoke with someone who makes EDM for a living, and one thing that stuck with me was the importance of intent and contrast. Some of the tracks start in offbeat positions as a result, and some parts are placed in a manner to make the track feel more "unpredictable." This is my attempt at contrast lol. 

The track is in the key of C Phrygian and was composed/produced in Ableton Live 12 Suite.

Gannein and Ket Robinson unleash a high‑octane techno saga that twists kaleidoscopic synth‑scapes, surgical drum programming, and pulse driven grooves into a single, relentless surge. The record oscillates between razor thin, hypnotic minimalism and riotous, wall‑of‑sound maximalism, distilling the very apex of their collaborative chemistry. It crowns a year‑long dialogue, marking the pinnacle of their joint output before each turns the spotlight inward on their own solo visions.
