Draku Returns with His Deeply Atmospheric Second Release on City of Drums Black Label: “Dark Plantasia”

City of Drums Black Label is proud to present the second release from rising electronic producer Draku: the evocative and immersive “Dark Plantasia.” Blending deep melodic house, hypnotic techno grooves, and cinematic soundscapes, this release invites listeners into an otherworldly ecosystem—where darkness blooms and nature pulses with electronic life.

Draku experienced a strange dream: a dense jungle where every leaf and vine moved to the beat of an invisible rhythm. But this was no peaceful paradise—this forest had a pulse, a heart, and a darkness. Creatures stirred in the undergrowth, roots whispered secrets, and the plants danced to a brooding melodic techno symphony.
“Dark Plantasia” was born from that dream.

🎵 The Sound of an Organic Dreamscape. Across its runtime, Dark Plantasia explores contrasts—light and dark, organic and synthetic, meditative and driving. 

This release captures the core ethos of City of Drums Black Label—music that pushes boundaries, tells stories, and creates immersive sonic environments.

Draku’s ability to blend emotion, groove, and storytelling has already caught the attention of melodic house and techno lovers. With “Dark Plantasia,” he takes a bold step forward in both artistry and concept, crafting a release that is as thoughtful as it is danceable.

Whether you're a DJ looking for atmospheric tracks that still move the floor, or a listener seeking a deep headphone journey, Dark Plantasia is a must-experience.

Vinyl Set YAZMIN

Uun's techno blends widescreen grayscale imagery with propulsive dancefloor pressure. Whether crafting what Hardwax dubs "straight ahead techno juggernauts" or deep, introspective tools, his work is grounded in a masterful command of atmosphere and texture. 

Uun developed his interest in fringe sounds as a guitarist and drummer in his hometown of Kansas City before shifting his attention to electronic music in 2012. This led him to relocate to Detroit, where he spent seven years pushing deeper into the underground techno scene, refining his production and performance methods. Between the Midwest and  several periods in Berlin—another city he's found a deep connection to—he's honed a style that's allowed his music to nimbly navigate between different subgenres, "quietly infiltrating" the genre from multiple angles at once. 

Uun's sound and his ability to mold it into a variety of forms has captured the attention of lauded techno labels like Mord, Semantica, and Soma. On his own Ego Death imprint, he pushes past genre confines and deeper into his music's underlying themes, exploring existentialism, duality, and the role of the artist in the modern era. His first full length, 2022's Derealization, interrogated dreams through rebuilding memories of liminal spaces, and on his latest Ego Death release, 2024's Platform Decay, he laces his tracks with a poignant criticism of social media-driven cultural homogenization while doubling down on his own uncompromising sound. 

As a live performer, Uun distills years of his studio practice into cathartic sets that build off his productions while pushing them into exploratory new territory. His live show has taken him to legendary clubs like Berlin's Tresor, Tbilisi's Khidi, Detroit's Movement Festival, and Brookyln's Basement, and alongside the decade-plus of releases under his belt, it's safe to say Uun's infiltration of techno might not be so quiet for much longer.
