For this new round, Berlin-based friends and collaborators Angioma and BLANKA team up for a very special B2B set spanning the spectrum of their respective, and much compatible, universes. Both sharing the same shelter of their own record label Room Trax, the pair sends us into orbit with two hours of shadowy 4x4 grooves and thick-set dubs primed for peak-time basement rioting. Astutely swinging the pendulum between reverb-soaked atmospherism and gut-churning bass assault, Angioma and BLANKA have us riding stormy sine waves and exhilarating distortions effortlessly. Kit up for a riveting deep-dive into nightmarish grottos and oddly cozy, Berghain-ready chasms.

Description:
«With Anunnaki Burial Chambers EP, THEGOD01 lands on SMUTA delivering a fierce, ritualistic techno journey shaped by ancient mythologies and paleoastronautic narratives. The three tracks (Anunnaki Burial Chambers, Enki’s Temple, Black Throne of Nergal and Gates of Kur) explore dense sonic textures and relentless rhythms, evoking long-lost civilizations, buried chambers, and the lingering presence of non-human intelligences.

Each track stands as a cryptic chapter part ritual, part excavation that is immersing the listener in a world where techno becomes a vehicle for decoding forgotten knowledge and unlocking the codes of the past»

A journey through Hard Techno. From start to finish, a rich soundscape designed to let you get carried away. Fast-paced rhythms balanced with moments of slowdown. A blend of trance-influenced tracks and heavy-hitting sounds — there's something here for everyone.

.

A Wrocław-born electronic music enthusiast. I started my journey with Trance, but over time my musical taste evolved towards Techno in the 140–150 BPM range. Melodic Hard Techno is where I feel truly at home. I’ve been passionate about DJing since my teenage years — first controllers, first sets, countless hours of self-taught practice. In 2023, I made my debut on the Wrocław club scene, performing at venues such as Ciało, Transformator, and Schron. Music is my escape from everyday life. Each set is a form of expression where I strive to deliver as much emotion and energy as possible.
