German based duo Hidden Empire are swiftly making progression in their climb to the top of the techno scene. They’re known from several hit releases on Stil vor Talent and Traum Schallplatten. We are gleesome to open the doors of Filth on Acid and welcome them for a 3 track original EP. On remix duties we gladly find Egbert, the Dutch powerhouse of peak-time techno, who’s currently releasing on Drumcode.

Twilight Of The Gods opens with Baldur. The authoritative, round kick and bassline build a colossal foundation on which propulsive arpeggiators shift things into next gear. A sturdy, polished groove ensures movement on the dancefloor. The atmospherics and hornlike shout of Baldur, hint to the unfortunate fate of this mythological creature as well as building pleasant pressure.

Mjolnir, the hammer of Thor, stays true to its name, as it is a definite peak-time affair. Long stretched swelling, bassy pads are the backbone for reverberated percussion and dapper synth stabs. Memorable synth melodies unfold on the break to balance force and profoundness.

Bragi can be seen as the most hypnotic of the pack. Arpeggiated synths, soft pads and detailed synths hint to the abstruse nature of Bragi; the god of poets. Smart drum programming keeps the track in ever morphing state.

We close the EP in style, with Egbert’s remix of Bragi. As an artist, always on the lookout of new ways to detonate party crowds, this time he derives a groove with qualities of cavalry. Throughout the track the kick, bassline and drums continuously exert and exchange powers, which makes it sound like a constant battle as to where in the groove they can sit. This unique element builds an enormous strain. Combined with the beautiful break; again Egbert’s music arrives at the next level.

Bridging instrumental tact with melodic mysticism, live act and DJ duo Hidden Empire present their debut album Mind Palace, the fruit of their labour of one whirlwind year. On Stil Vor Talent they find a welcome home, having already gained traction with several releases on the label as well as other renowned imprints such as Suara. 

Ranging from downtempo electronica to iterative techno with groovy house incursions, the diversity of the genres explored across the 16 tracks mirror the Cologne-based artists’ own sonorous influences as well as their diverse musical sympathies.

Fluid, atmospheric tracks set a consistently lush vibe overall, from the esoteric kickoff track Journey Into the Self to subtle warm-up tools like the oriental-instilled Hummus and Fafnir, or the couple’s first vocal collaboration Pure. Fellow Cologne singer Inga Nelke brings a touch of sensuality with her soft vocal chops atop a broken beat-infused melody accented with gripping piano chords.

But it’s in club tracks that the album abounds, found often in antithetical pairings, whether it’s the marriage of a Moog bassline and warm Caribbean rhythms in Detroit in Limbo or the juxtaposition of analogue and digital rhythms on In The Woods, created using sylvan recordings as percussion. It’s the title track Mind Palace, however, that reaches the apex of antipolar combinations, displaying a breakbeat-heavy lead doused in exotic vocals perched onto a steady bassline, underlining the artists’ knack for innovative rhythms.

A nod to the classic heydays of acid comes in the shape of Acid Flashback, centred around a massive synth hook courtesy of the iconic Roland 303, a tinge slightly present on the spiralling fierce cut Asmoday, albeit a fraction more subtle.

Energy is one of the key traits of the album, as Branko and Niklas conceive a copious amount of hard-hitting tracks that amplify and engage towards the second half of the record. Black Beauty oozes stamina from the get-go, its relentless groove guiding a subdued bassline and minimal elements towards the peak point. With Natural Takeover, a tech powerhouse with a tenacious lead and ominous vocals, the album reaches its darkest corner of the Mind Palace universe.

All in all, the artists showcase a plethora of straightforward tracks with heterogeneous sound aesthetics, where a closer listen can only reveal further and more elaborate depths.

Hidden Empire - Tornado [Snippet]

Italian duo Glowal land on TAU with a stunning four-track EP. Fresh off the back of ‘My Computer’ their huge collaboration with label owners Adana Twins, which dropped on Diynamic recently and went straight into the Beatport Top 10. Glowal were launched into the limelight when their track ‘Cries’ picked up support from industry heavyweights including Dixon, Âme, Tale Of Us, Laurent Garnier and more. Since then they’ve dropped one bomb after another with releases on labels such as Innervisions, Sapiens, and Siamese. Now they’re bringing their unique magic to TAU!
Premiered here is ‘Ram’, which has an understated intro with sombre bass writhing under a tense high-pitched buzz. As the track starts to unfold, an unusual melody shivers above the low end. Steadily Glowal increase the pressure, turning up the intensity until we enter a short breakdown and the track continues to whistle its unique melody.
Glowal’s unique style is evident on all four tracks of this stunning EP, it’s full of emotion, depth and powerful atmospherics. Inspired!

PRESS:
Melodic and Techno are two words that spontaneously pop up on the surface of the thinking mind when listening to Lexer’s new EP. But then again there's this inebriated swing and tongue-in-cheek playfulness in Faces; the bold, rocky synth lead in Death Up Close; the homeopathic omnipresence of Acid. It’s real good storytelling, that’s what it is! This trip gets even more colorful with the remixes. René Bourgeois makes Faces all about gyrating bounce and casual uplift. Mollono.Bass teams up with Marc Vogler, who opens an unheard dimension of deepness in the dubby frequencies of his melodica – while the Club Remix  adds another pearl to the string of his epic repertoire.
