☞ About the set
After the "The Balance" EP was signed with the renowned label Einmusika Recordings,
with three tracks on it, he produced within three weeks an additional six songs specifically for this event, which he then converted into his live set. The live set follows the sequence of the EP, culminating in a grand finale with a monumental last track. From the very first song, R.EK showcases his extraordinary interpretation of techno music with melodic approaches.

☞ About the event
In no time after finalizing the signing for R.EK's EP project, the eagerly anticipated release party was ignited by R.EK himself, alongside the illustrious Hive Club Zurich and the distinct party label Grundton.
Impeccably curating the lineup holds great significance for R.EK, driven by his unwavering dedication to greeting the audience with invigorating and soul-stirring melodies, ultimately guiding them towards an exhilarating crescendo.

For the release party, which took place on the Tanzifloor, R.EK invited the following artists and DJs:

(in order)
Adam & Eve
Natascha Polké live
R.EK "The Balance Live Show" w/ VJ OCD
Einmusik DJ set
Matija B2B AANN DJ set

With this carefully curated lineup, the release party promised to be an unforgettable night of musical diversity and captivating performances.

☞ The «Balance» EP
For the Original Track «The Balance» he teamed up with swiss singer and producer Natascha Polké. It's a beautiful, melodic and calm journey with her outstanding voice
and a lot of little details. "Behind" is more groovy and reduced yet driving and with a catchy lead line. On top, he added a remix by Thomas Schwartz and Fausto Fanizza which works for the club with a strong beat and deep bassline.

David Aurel - Sweet Pain EP // 

A name that shall ring a bell with fellow Hive Audio enthusiasts, David Aurel follows on from his 2020-released debut on the label, "We Got Time", with the much anticipated "Sweet Pain" EP. Packed with the energy and soul that made David's sound stand from the crowd since the beginning, this new delivery from the Italian-born, Swiss-based producer marks a new high in his rising career.

Bittersweet by essence, "Sweet Pain" is the epitome of a stealth, subs-driven heavyweight piece of arsenal. Circling back to late 70s disco / early Chicago house vibrations, Aurel's new single attests to his sixth sense for crafting understated sweatbox monsters that'll etch deep into your mind from the moment the needle drops, till way after the doors have shut.

In the hands of expert brain explorer Markus Homm, the track gains a liquid-like sense of fluidness, verbed-out suavity and silky-smooth va-va-voom. The sonic equivalent to surfing endless barrels at sunset.

The ebullient, solar-powered "Morning Call" is an invitation to cast off onto even brighter shores. Fusing balearic-flavoured piano melodies with an unstoppably rousing nu-disco feel, Aurel swings the pendulum between hi-NRG club intensity and layers of deeper, lusher soulfulness to hypnotic effect. [Hive Audio - HA124]

https://linktr.ee/r.ek_knotenmusic

It’s the haunting urgency in R.EK’s tracks that captures the listener instantly. R.EK tears down the walls of conventions with monumental, technoid soundscapes that carry stories within.
Years and years of bringing his live sets to perfection were finally rewarded when R.EK was called to be one of the resident DJs of the prestigious Hive Club in Zurich, Switzerland. What sets him apart are his memorable live sets, where he’s able to pick up the audience’s mood, and to channel it into his music. The result thereof is the skillful bundling of the crowd’s energy—that is also projected onto his studio recorded tracks. Letting himself being inspired by this energy determines the versatility of R.EK’s music that mesmerizes with vehemence and gripping ease, all at once.
