Following its 2022 debut with two EPs, @synthetik_sounds returns in the new year with an explosive new offering from Los Angeles-area stalwart Annika Wolfe in the form of their Saudade EP.

With Ecilo at the A&R helm, as well as two of Los Angeles’s most revered underground brands, 6AM and Synthetik Minds, spearheading its mission, Synthetik Sounds is now an established home for techno artists whose sound remains true to the ethos of underground techno.

The imprint’s first two outings, Protech The Skyline by Ecilo and Rooted In Reality by Stephen Disario, clearly underscored the intention of the label: to provide a platform for artists whose output leans both on deep, hypnotic techno as well as darker, and harder shades of the genre, while also building bridges between North America, Europe, Asia and beyond.

The EP opens things up with “Things Got Icky,” which sees Annika unleash a barrage of carefully constructed broken beats that pick up the tempo and turn into a real dance-floor stomper. This is electro-meets-techno at its finest, celebrating the sound Annika is being recognized for throughout North America and beyond.

The title-track carries things forward into techno territory, while maintaining the same infectious percussion-heavy characteristics that set the tone with the EP’s opening. The vibe is jacking from beginning to end, the track building in intensity as hypnotic soundscapes take over accompanied by hard-to-discern and yet incredibly sensual vocals permeating through the break-down before things kick back into full throttle. “Saudade” is also offered as a Dub Remix in this package.

Closing out the release is “No Tocar,” catapulting us into darker and early morning hours inside a proper techno warehouse. Here Annika does a brilliant job at delivering a pure techno track that is addictive, groove-ridden and keeps tension levels tightly in check to perfection.

Synthetik Sounds Unveils Star-Studded Compilation to Support LA Fire Relief Efforts

Los Angeles techno label Synthetik Sounds is proud to announce the release of a powerful 39-track Various Artists compilation featuring an extraordinary lineup of global techno talent. In a time of urgent need, 100% of proceeds from the compilation will be donated to LA Fire Relief Funds, supporting communities affected by the devastating wildfires that created havoc in the Los Angeles area in January 2025.

In January 2025, the Palisades and Eaton wildfires in Los Angeles County burned over 37,000 acres, destroyed more than 16,000 structures, caused at least 29 fatalities, and led to the evacuation of over 200,000 residents, affecting many in the underground techno and house community in our city.

When we asked artists to contribute to a V/A release to help our community, we found ourselves overwhelmed by the amount of support we received.

This monumental release unites over 40 cutting-edge artists, all contributing their signature sounds to this meaningful cause. From techno veterans to rising stars, the compilation is a showcase of boundary-pushing artistry and the unity of the electronic music community.

Featured Artists Include:
Drumcell, Dimi Angelis, Pleasures, Barbosa, Insical, Max Gardner, Aztekan, Chris Liebing, Annika Wolfe, Jonny Maven & Kahai Owens, EMILIANA, Trovarsi & ALX-106, Ecilo, Truncate, Oscar Mulero, Selective Response, Adam X, Cleric, Measure Divide, EAS, Anastasia Giovani, Timekube & S:V:S, Realize, Ø [Phase], Pleasurekraft & Atroxx, Materielle, Marie Nyx, Wata Igarashi, David Castellani, Less Distress, Chontane, Stephen Disario, Lego, no.name, Joel Mull, Ray Kajioka, Sterac, and Secus.

By purchasing this compilation, fans will directly contribute to helping rebuild lives and restore hope in wildfire-affected communities. Spread the word, share the music, and stand with us as we make a difference through the unifying force of techno.
Together, We Rebuild. Together, We Rave.

Synthetik Sounds proudly presents a 39-track Various Artists compilation, uniting global techno talent to support LA Fire Relief Funds. Following the devastating January 2025 Palisades and Eaton wildfires, which burned 37,000 acres and displaced over 200,000 residents, the label rallied artists to contribute. The overwhelming response led to a powerful release featuring over 40 cutting-edge producers, from veterans to rising stars. With 100% of proceeds aiding affected communities, this compilation showcases both the resilience of Los Angeles’ underground electronic scene and the unity of the global techno community in times of crisis.

Measure Divide is a Canadian artist who has been releasing music for over a decade, gracing top labels like SHDW's Mutual Rytm, Cleric's Clergy, Ricardo Garduno's Illegal Alien, to Nachtstrom Schallplatten.

For this DT:Premiere we selected "Refract" with a brooding, cyclical style. Dark, rumbling elements are met with phasing pulses and electrical bursts creating haunting and heady underground trip of mental and intense techno.

This compilation is our way of giving back, using the universal power of music to bring aid, hope, and resilience to those affected. We are incredibly grateful to the artists who donated their music and to our fans who will support this release. When we began reaching out to artists we envisioned putting together a 12-15 track compilation, but as word got out we found ourselves overwhelmed by support from artists and friends all over the world who wanted to contribute and make a difference in helping LA and its people. The result is a 39-track compilation showcasing the diversity of techno’s soundscapes, and just how much both  LA as a city and its techno community are loved by people all over the world.”
