The Rituals series rises again — a fresh strike carved deep into black wax. RITUAL12 summons an international assembly of techno insurgents from the OMEN roster, each delivering their own sonic rite. Across two sides, the intent is absolute: raw, unfiltered power pulled from the shadows and unleashed on the dancefloor.

[SIDE A]
SWARM INTELLIGENCE – Inexorable
Berlin’s Swarm Intelligence ignites the record with precision-tooled percussion and fractured basslines. Polyrhythmic tension winds tighter with every measure, industrial grit locking into a cybernetic march toward total hypnosis.

B.A.R.K – Shikijitsu
A bone-rattling invocation of distorted low-end and ceremonial drums. B.A.R.K drives forward like ancient machinery grinding to life, a Japanese primal energy sharpened to a deadly edge.

AXKAN & DUELLIST – Resilience
Mexico meets Scotland for a brutalist assault: hammering kicks, serrated synth textures, and walls of analogue saturation. No safe passage here — only forward momentum into the heart of chaos.

[SIDE B]
EAS – Honored One
From Los Angeles, EAS delivers a tense, ritualistic construction where a subterranean EBM bassline pulses through metallic drones. Hypnotic, uneasy, and charged with controlled dissonance.

HATELOVE & OGMAH – Hanged Bodies
A dark ceremonial groove heavy with ritual percussion and spectral synth chants. The layers rise to a fever pitch, blurring the line between transcendence and collapse.

CRYSTAL GEOMETRY + AXKAN – Kratom
France’s Crystal Geometry joins AXKAN for a militaristic strike of modular chaos and pummeling drums. EBM-infused basslines drive beneath razor-sharp synth fire, rallying the midnight faithful to the front lines.

RITUAL12 is not a compilation — it’s a convocation. Forged in analogue heat, drenched in distortion, and aimed directly at the heart of the floor, this record demands full surrender. Step in. There is no turning back.

All tracks written and produced by the featured artists.

Darkwave EDM Set - Vol.2 - Track 04

Dedicated to one of my best friends, Tobi. I produced this track in the last 3 days as I had flashbacks to an unpleasant and very upsetting phase in life and tried to put something together which described these feelings which I felt were very difficult for me to describe back then. I often felt dead inside and misunderstood when trying to tell friends about it. Thankfully, one of my best friends (Tobi<3) helped me a lot to get back on track. Will be for ever thankful! If you (the person reading this) are in stuck in something similar right now...you might not think that it will get better. And I am not saying it will. But try to carry on. You will experience - not that everything will be better or fine - but maybe atleast, everything might suck a little less from time to time. Maybe someday, things might even become positive again. 

Track made in Bitwig, Leads with Vital, I came up with the Vocal Parts myself  and used elevenlabs for voice generation.

Sharp Objects (Extended Mix)

This past 3 years have seen the Mexican Trance enthusiast release and remix on a whole host of recognised platforms and after firing this bangin' demo across the Atlantic last year, it's HTE's turn for a piece of the action.  
Inception generates big energy from start to finish, progressing through glassy acid to breakdown euphoria, then onto a wrecking-ball drop to utterly seal the deal on this impressive first release for Diego Morrill.
