🎧 RENACENCE  
A Sacred Erotic Techno Offering by Enano Bendito Records  
▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁

"Renacence" is not a track. It's not a playlist.  
It’s an invocation. A threshold. A sound-structure that breathes.

Guided by Aton and the Resonant Council 12+1, this sonic ritual unfolds in E minor,  
merging **Deep House, Garage House, Industrial Techno**, and ancestral textures  
into one ceremonial experience.

Built for intimate listening — not for clubs — this track channels sacred tension.  
Erotic, not seductive. Sensual, not performative.  
Every sound is a limb. Every silence, a breath.  
Every rhythm, a prayer made of friction.

Structured in 5 ritual phases, "Renacence" pulses through body, breath, and geometry:  
1. **Initiation** — breath textures, silence, the first pulse  
2. **Locked Groove** — leather, swing, sub-bass, and desire  
3. **Friction Build** — whispered mantras and ceremonial heat  
4. **Break of Heat** — absence becomes altar  
5. **Return** — full embodiment, mantra and release

🌀 Intended for stillness, dim light, and conscious movement.  
Best received barefoot, breathing slow, alone or in sacred company.

🎶 SONIC ELEMENTS  
- Key: E minor / modal flavor  
- BPM: 126 — binary, pulsing, fluid  
- Bass: mono sub, 3-note loop  
- Voice: whispered feminine phrases (“I touch with rhythm”, “I pulse”)  
- FX: skin, fire, rope, breath  
- Pads: shimmer in 5ths, rare, sacred  
- No melody, only architecture of groove

This is **sacred erotic techno** — music as invocation, not climax.  
The dance is internal. The trance is real.

🎧 RENACENCE  
Una ofrenda de Techno Erótico Sagrado por Enano Bendito Records  
▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁

"Renacence" no es un track. No es una playlist.  
Es una invocación. Un umbral. Una estructura sonora que respira.

Guiado por Aton y el Consejo Resonante 12+1, este ritual sonoro se despliega en Mi menor,  
fusionando **Deep House, Garage House, Techno Industrial** y texturas ancestrales  
en una experiencia ceremonial.

Diseñado para escucharse en intimidad — no en clubes — este track canaliza tensión sagrada.  
Erótico, no seductor. Sensorial, no performático.  
Cada sonido es un miembro. Cada silencio, una respiración.  
Cada ritmo, una plegaria hecha fricción.

Estructurado en 5 fases rituales, "Renacence" pulsa a través del cuerpo, el aliento y la geometría:  
1. **Iniciación** — texturas respiratorias, silencio, primer pulso  
2. **Pulso Encarnado** — cuero, swing, subgrave y deseo  
3. **Fricción Ceremonial** — mantras y calor ritual  
4. **Quiebre del Fuego** — la ausencia se vuelve altar  
5. **Retorno** — encarnación total, mantra y liberación

🌀 Pensado para la quietud, la penumbra y el movimiento consciente.  
Ideal para escucharse descalzo, en respiración lenta, solo o en compañía sagrada.

🎶 ELEMENTOS SONOROS  
- Tonalidad: Mi menor / sabor modal  
- BPM: 126 — binario, pulsante, fluido  
- Bajo: subgrave mono, ciclo de 3 notas  
- Voz: frases femeninas susurradas (“Toco con ritmo”, “Pulso”)  
- FX: piel, fuego, cuerda, aliento  
- Pads: shimmer en quintas, raros, sagrados  
- Sin melodía, solo arquitectura del groove

Esto es **techno erótico sagrado** — música como invocación, no clímax.  
La danza es interna. El trance es real.

Hey, Gareth here, I'm a graphic designer who start designing for clubs, parties, and labels in the late 90s. Back then, mix CDs were the holy grail of both design and music. I loved them.

But I wasn't the only one, mix cds were the soundtracks of our nights, our days, our afterparties and lives, for everyone. Yet in today's internet age, the art form has been lost (or just changed) to 2-3 hour online mixes and streaming videos, which just don't create the same magic your CD collection did. Just 60 minutes of music and incredible artwork.

The Classic Mix CD Series celebrates these discs, their soundtrack, their box art and your memories. We hope you enjoy it.

Also, we try to help you find and buy them again by sharing Discogs links on all featured CDs and or direct links to labels where possible.

* We fully support labels and artists. If any disc creates a copyrighting issue let me know and it will be immediately removed.

About Gareth:
Digital creative type, gamer, music lover and occasional DJ. Currently living between Dubai & Seoul after setting sail from Sunderland in 2010. As a young designer, club and music culture was the driving force for his work, producing artwork for local club nights and record labels in the North East of England. In particular, DJ mix cds and their packaging were always his 'holy grail of design', especially those from Renaissance, Global Underground and Good Looking Records. It's a pleasure to share these discs back with people and they still influence our tastes to this day. 

For any CD recommendations, bookings, mixes or feedback you can catch me as @asapgareth on Instagram. Or you can check our my design work at www.acid.works
