Project - Direct Dizko' a cornerstone in the techno genre that has left an indelible mark since its initial release in 1998.

Sisko Electrofanatik returns to his label, Gain Records, with the release of his new 15-track techno album, 'Starboy' in celebration of his 20-year career.

This is Sisko Electrofanatik's first album, and it's a dynamic selection that showcases the Italian techno maestro at his very best. The album orientates around the peak time techno style that is trademark to his sound, while also embracing styles including progressive, electro, downtempo, raw and acid.

Based in Rome, Sisko Electrofanatik first broke onto the scene two decades ago when he was a regular feature of Carl Cox's record label, Intec. His captivating use of melody, intelligent sample selection, and energising percussion, have made him one of techno's most esteemed producers.

His music is regularly set listed by techno's most iconic DJs, and he has been signed to prestigious record labels including Alan Fitzpatrick's We Are The Brave, Monika Kruse's Terminal M, Spartaque's Codex, and many others of equal calibre.

Gain Records is Sisko Electrofanatik's own record label, and it's a globally respected imprint that regularly places inside of Beatport's Top 100 sales chart. It has a forward-thinking and innovative reputation, and Sisko Electrofanatik regularly uses it as a platform to release his own music.

Carl Cox has already supported tracks off this album in his DJ sets, such as the final track, "Alter Ego."

The album is a dynamic selection that sets the scene with the dystopian pads and suspense building acid of, "Starboy." The album then gets the listener locked in with the uplifting pads and hulking bass of, "Thrust."

"Ziggurath" is dark and brooding with it's throbbing bassline and electrifying lead synth. The next two tracks, "Syntagma," and "Zork," continue on the same peak time vibe, then "Opale" has a raw and hypnotic groove.

The seventh track, "Get Lost" features the voice of Lory who is a singer from Rome, and it's a melodic techno track with an emotive vocal. "Ad Astra" picks up the pace again with its dark and hammering groove.

"Elements' featuring Leah Rose keeps the dark atmosphere, but has an extended breakdown with a powerful vocal. Track ten is the downtempo "Acidland," which is a trippy slice of electronica with acid synths and cinematic pads.

"Imnot" lifts the intensity with its high-octane groove and dubby pads, then "Diapason" is a deep minimal track with house influences. "Supernatural" brings things back to peak time, then the tense pads of "Fable" is the penultimate track, before "Alter Ego" closes the release with its hypnotic flow.

Sisko Electrofanatik - Syntagma (Original Mix)

Dutch duo NRNT unleash a powerful statement of groove and sonic depth with their latest four-tracker 'Monolith'. Known for their hypnotic rhythms and floor-focused productions, NRNT deliver an EP that balances precision and funk-designed for movement, crafted with intent. From the first beat to the final fade, Monolith locks into the deeper side of techno with a rolling, percussive energy that never lets go.

The title track 'Monolith' is a towering slab of groove-solid, stripped-back, and relentlessly focused. Built around a chunky, rolling low-end and razor-sharp drum programming, 'Monolith' evolves with subtle modulations and atmospheric stabs that rise from beneath the surface like echoes off stone. It’s a masterclass in tension and restraint, gradually building into a hypnotic groove machine that commands the floor with quiet authority.

'Pace' - the track leans into a more driving rhythm, layering crisp hi-hats and flickering percussive details over a bouncing sub groove. Tight delays and shuffled patterns keep things fluid, while a sneaky synth motif creeps in and out, giving the track a sense of forward motion and pressure. It’s the kind of roller that keeps the dancers locked in, riding that perfect line between momentum and head-nodding depth.

'Quiver' is built on a pulsating low-end with stuttering percussion that flutters and shifts like nervous energy in a dark room. Dubby FX, ghostly textures, and morphing synths drift through the mix, creating an eerie yet captivating vibe. There’s a tension in the track subtle but persistent that makes it perfect for those deeper, more psychedelic moments in a set.

'Salient' closing the EP with purpose, cutting through the haze with a brighter, more energetic tone. Driven by a punchy groove and crisp clap patterns, it balances rhythmic complexity with floor-filling warmth. Melodic stabs and distant pads breathe in and out as the track develops, giving it a sense of dynamic space without losing the locked-in, rolling energy that defines the whole release.

Enjoy
