'I wanted this set to be a journey through the depths of hypnotic techno, gradually building tension and immersing you in raw, pulsating rhythms. The set begins subtly, introducing an atmosphere of mystery, to gain power and intensity over time. It passes through spacious, deeply resonant tones that intertwine with mechanical precision and raw energy. After moments of trance concentration, there is a culmination in the form of powerful, industrial beats that lead to the final blur, leaving the listener in a state of sonic suspension. It is a consistently built narrative'.

Based on the famous W. Withman verse, Tienmcateteng’s “Binomious Artist” concept seems to fall in contradiction with this L.P. that contains a Multitudes of Techno tunes. Each artist gives his own sense of sound drawing the amplitude of the whole Techno music and refuting the concept of uniqueness of this musical genre. Booz with a dub style mix down filled with raw and hypnotic noizes, opens the Variuos Artist. Cassulle put forward a vibrant dark Techno break. Dez (Random/Noize) marks a sharp turn in the track list with his raw, dark and brutal sound making contrast with the Error Etica’s suggestive sonorities typical of his own label Psychoskunk. Then is the time of Gez Varley  and his G-Man’s style classic techno dub. The Spanish master Leandro Gamez shows his tribal groove, while M.R.E.U.X. brings us into a psychedelic minimal techno journey. Slaker’s last track proposes a meticolous dark-electro future-beat closing this excursus on the multitudes shades of Techno.

A1. Kwartz - Pattern execution
A2. Kwartz - Path of authority
B1. Kwartz - Balance of power
B2. Kwartz - Frontline

It’s a big pleasure for us to welcome back Mario to the label after a long while. He delivers four raw cuts of harsh techno, crude, direct to the bone but always with a wise use of the elements to make things intelligent and intrincated.

First cut Pattern Execution proves all this as a statement. Obsessive sequences, distorted groove elements, tension all over an ever changing arrangement.

Path of Authority reminds the early Birmingham days, again using distorsion as weapon. Bringing the heritage of the best records from the nineties to this dystopian present we live in.

Balance of power runs over similar parameters than the previous two, increasing the BPM rate and delivering more intricated sequence lines and paranoia.

Frontline closes this crude exercise, still fast, still hard but yet mental and futuristic.

Preview -Path of authority EP - Kwartz - POLEGROUP059

Tienmcateteng, is an ancient Neapolitan saying that affirms the importance of union, of supporting each other, of sharing.

The label aims to affirm a concept of musical creation not as work done individually, but rather the result of meeting and comparison.

Tienmcateteng‘s goal is to promote the collaboration among artists who share a similar style, encouraging exchange between them.

 Each release will involve two or more producers and include one or more tracks from each, one or more tracks produced together or reciprocal remixes, creating a "Binomious Artist"
