SHDW’s label Mutual Rytm rounds out another year with 'Symbiosis' - an excellent split EP from Greek artists ANNĒ & Sera J, featuring six fresh cuts and four digital bonuses.

The release title comes from the Greek word 'συμβίωσις', which means living closely together for a significant period and can be used to speak of a mutually beneficial interaction between individuals. And that is precisely what can be said of ANNĒ and Sera J, who have grown through life as partners and, more recently, as musical peers. This split EP is their first release alongside one another, and one that presents the story of their innermost feelings, with their full label debut following fine contributions to the label's 'Federation Of Rytm II' compilation back in March.

ANNĒ has had a busy few years making her mark with potent techno on labels such as Soma, Hardgroove, and Life In Patterns, while Sera J is just as revered for his tunes on the likes of Out Of Place, DifferentSound and more.

ANNĒ takes the A-side, firstly with the fiery diva vocals and thumping techno drums of 'Heal My Soul' and then the more physical and banging drum programming of 'Turn Back Time'. It's a big, metallic cut with rumbling bass and sleek synths peeling off the groove, while her final track 'Zephyrus' has plenty of infectious bounce and eerie pads to keep dancers on their toes.

On the flip, Sera J kicks off with the electrifying synth stabs and cantering techno power of 'Blue Dancers' and then offers up 'Common People' as twisted leads and slamming drums all run through with alien sound effects and bright stabs. To close, 'Delusion' is a psychedelic cut with roaming leads that bring plenty of cosmic energy to the unrelenting kicks.  In addition, each artist serves up a pair of digital bonuses: ANNĒ with the hurried funk of 'Serene' and loopy intensity of 'Victor', and Sera J with the liquid, dubby dynamics of the hard-hitting 'Intensity' and monstrous energy of 'Bodies Don't Lie.'

Marina George unveils her debut EP on Adroit, featuring two original tracks, "Breathwork" and "Drip Berlin," along with remixes by Klint and Toni Dextor. The EP embodies Marina’s signature sound; a captivating fusion of emotive techno and her sensual, hypnotic vocals.

"Breathwork" takes listeners on an intimate journey of self-discovery through breath, unlocking a quiet inner power. Marina’s voice flows through dark, pulsating rhythms, enveloping the track in a seductive, hypnotic energy that feels both empowering and deeply personal.

"Drip Berlin" is a moody love letter to the city, capturing its magnetic pull and erotic creative charge. With Marina’s vocals intertwined with rich, immersive soundscapes, the track evokes a raw connection to Berlin’s endless allure and the personal exploration it invites.

Klint and Toni Dextor amplify the EP with their remixes, infusing both tracks with new layers of intensity and fresh interpretations of Marina’s original compositions.
