Trace: Return to the Source (Live in Auckland, NZ, ’99)

Blu Saphir Limited proudly presents its 28th release: a monstrous two-track single by none other than M:Pathy. Known for his precise sound design and deep, minimal aesthetics, M:Pathy delivers two serious weapons that will shake any dark room to its core.

CYHTM
Inspired by Ludwig Göransson’s haunting “Can You Hear The Music” — the lead track from the Oppenheimer soundtrack — “CYHTM” begins with a cinematic, tension-heavy intro driven by ethereal violins as opposed to flutes and subtle orchestral textures. The calm doesn’t last: after the break, it erupts into a storm of rolling reeces, booming sub-bass and stripped-back, precise percussion. A powerful opener for any deep or minimal set.

Acquiesce
On the flip, “Acquiesce” pushes the minimal approach even further. Stark, mechanical, and free of any organic textures, it drives deep into the darker spectrum of drum and bass. Punchy basslines and crisp drums dominate, offering a cold yet captivating groove designed for the late hours.

M:Pathy once again showcases his talent for atmosphere and detail while keeping things razor-sharp for the dancefloor. Pure minimal pressure with cinematic soul.

For fans of: Skeptical, Alix Perez, Arkaik, Bredren, Monty, DLR
