Groove Shack presents the debut release from Irish duo Luke & Flex, the 'Synthesize EP.' This two-track EP blends dark, mysterious vibes with driving, high-energy Techno.

'Slave To My Beat' channels a Norse-inspired intensity with deep, haunting atmospheres, while 'Synthesize' delivers a punchy, rhythmic ride with rolling percussion and sharp synth stabs.

The release includes two remixes: label boss VALHALLA offers a Hardgroove rework, while MarAxe amps up the aggression with his signature Hard Techno sound. The 'Synthesize EP' is a bold introduction to Luke & Flex's powerful Techno style.
