The EP opens with Giorgia Angiuli’s ‘We Dream in the Same Language’ which employs warm vocals across frenetic dance stabs and mechanicalized break downs. As unrestrained drums beat ceaselessly, zipping effects and metallic flowing synths flicker to see out the EP with a sound that perfectly blends a mix of hard, European dance styles.

A driving force in the techno scene, Spanish producer and DJ Ramiro Lopez has shaped a sound that encompasses techno, acid, urban and even Flamenco, as seen on this standout new release to make his debut on ARTCORE. Accompanied by tracks from an exciting producer from the UK called Tobias Paul, the alias of established house producer Curbi with his take on groove laden techno – the brand new 4 track release will be out on the 17th July. 

Ramiro Lopez makes a welcome to the ARTCORE stable bringing with him esteemed Flamenco guitarist, Miguel Clemente and Andalusian vocalist, Belén Vega. “I had the idea to create a fusion of styles, bringing authentic flamenco vibes into the world of electronic music” adds Ramiro. Both Miguel and Belén are deeply rooted and respected within flamenco tradition, creating something for the open minded and experimental.

Commencing with ‘Ay Candela’, the EP’s opener brilliantly matches the vivid intensity of flamenco with the brooding energy of techno. Whilst pounding, pacy and fierce in parts, Lopez and Paul have made certain the vibrant Latin influences of the tracks Spanish collaborators shine blissfully through the beat’s otherwise heavy, brooding ambience. 

Two tracks on the release are from Tobias Paul, the techno alias of esteemed house producer Curbi. Carving out a groove laden techno sound, this will mark his 3rd release to date, opening with ‘Brazil’, he quickly gets to work delivering a high-octane but obscure concoction of fizzing, whistling effects aside rolls of simmering snare. A chopped vocal bounces in-between thick bass tones and warping synth climaxing with a plume of whooshing melodics and final frenzy of lyrics.

The stringed brilliance of Miguel Clemente and soaring vocals of Belén Vega again take centre stage on ‘Solea’. Following a series of bell chimes comes a deep, galloping percussion and snare combo before a chorus of impassioned vocal lines ring out emotively across slamming cymbals, grumbling melodies and restless, fidgeting hi-hats. 

‘Poseidon’ is an ice-cold solo effort. Doubling down on the visceral potency that fuels much of ARTCORE DUO V, the beat possesses a diligently crafted groove that swirls aside militant drum rolls, pulping rave motifs and hollow tones to close the EP in a shadowy, low-key style.

The Visitors EP is a transcendent tour of Flour’s auditory cosmos and fascinating inner world, essential for all lovers of hard techno’s trancier moments, it finds itself perfectly at home in EXHALE’s cutting edge catalogue.

Kicking off the EP, which he describes as ‘a four-track journey exploring identity and transformation’ is the darkly beguiling ‘Mystery Land’, where pummeling kicks and trancey pads take us into hyperspace as we are drawn into ‘the discovery of an unknown dimension’. On title track ‘Visitors’ we go deeper still as Flour invites us to ‘encounter one’s own alter ego’: driving rhythms are offset with haunting operatic vocals, intense building synths and a broodingly urgent break building tension as a voice warns of ‘system failure’. Powerful peaktime gear. Next up is single ‘The World Beyond’, a transcendent fusion of hard techno and psytrance for the depth of the rave. Melodic beeps over a fiercely propulsive kick erupt into squelchy acid textures and we are catapulted into the dark mystery beyond. Dancefloors from Berlin to Napoli will go hard for this one. The closing chapter of this epic sonic journey is delivered by ‘Eternals’, ‘a timeless, introspective echo’ that invites us to consider the ‘other side’ as a limitless space within. Trancey and pumping, haunting vocal samples and pads give the track an ethereal edge, while the constancy of the kick keeps our feet on the ground (and moving).
