"Minimalism" kicks off the EP with a driving groove that slowly builds in intensity, setting the stage for a warm, hypnotic journey. The track's stripped-down aesthetic and precise sound design create an immersive atmosphere, perfect for late-night dancefloor sessions.

On the flip side, "Tech Tonic" has a bassline that sits front and center, surrounded by intricate percussion and futuristic synth textures. The synth design feels like robotic machines are talking to you.

Uddhav - Train Wreck (Original Mix)

Out now on Rebellion - https://lnk.to/RBL064

El Campo is the latest project from Alexi Delano and Javier Orduna. Ignited after analogue studio sessions in the Spanish countryside, the pair have been able to explore and create sounds for which they share a mutual passion. The end result being this EP produly released on Rebellion.

"We’d spoken for a long time about going out to the Spanish countryside and writing music inspired by the surroundings. At last we found the time and the right location to seclude ourselves and dive into its tranquility. No audio pollution, just the sound of the wind blowing through the fronds of the palm trees just outside our studio window. We soon found ourselves in a kind of meditative state and the songs began to write themselves."

The EP opens with the gritty industrial beat of ​El Regado. E​ mploying deep whirring melodies, the rushing breakdown is highly complimented by elegant keys. Next up, the hypnotic sounds of ​La Siembra ​are fuelled by ethnic strings and wind instruments, underpinned by a pulsating beat. ​Las Semillas ​closes the EP with a pacey tempo, otherworldly pads, melancholic strings and an abundance of percussion.

Born in Chile, raised in Sweden and later adopted by New York, ​Alexi Delano ​has produced six albums and released on labels such as Minus, Plus 8, Drumcode, Visionquest, Get Physical and Spectral Sound. Spanish export ​Javier Orduna has held down a residency at the prestigious Moog Club in Barcelona alongside a worldwide touring schedule. He’s also released records on respected imprints including Visonquest, VIVa Music, R&S and Chapter 24.

El Campo - La Siembra

Known for his blisteringly relentless and sophisticated rendition of minimal and deep tech, ‘The 13th Note’ has carved his own space in Indian underground scene, fusing influences of acid, breakbeat and Indian classical music, with a penchant for melancholic minimal infused melodies, brewed through distinctly crafted machinery. Breaking out with his 5 track debut EP on ‘Soupherb Records’ the Kolkata based producer makes skilful use of sound design, sophisticated arrangements, full spectrum basses — all leading to sonic expeditions that crack like a whip on the dance-floor.

Tracing back to his formative years since 2015 he’s earned his stripes between playing residencies and honing his musical skills in the studio behind the desk and vocal booths, Ishwar Singh Bhatti sets a hedonistic and boundless approach to his art and craft that’s as evident in his DJ sets as his productions, leading his loyal listeners on a journey between dystopian and near future themes.
