Umek Presents Polyvinyl - Somber Tone (Hertz Instrumental Edit)

It’s great to welcome Umek back to SWAY under his alias Polyvinyl. The energy level is at its peak, kicking off with “Somber Tone”, which sets the standard for how massive a bass sound can be. There's also an instrumental Hertz edit as an option. The second track, “True Nature”, is a stunning groover, showcasing Umek’s ability to master the Recycled Loops flavour that made him so popular over 20 years ago. These two amazing tracks perfectly blend old-school vibes with a 2025 twist.

With the comeback of his moniker, Polyvinyl, UMEK goes back to his hardgroove origins. In addition, he is starting a new record label called 1605 GrooveSector, which will specialise in raw techno and hardgroove.

Slovenian-born UMEK has a career that dates back to the 1990s, when he was among the musicians that helped create and pioneer the first hardgroove movement. His iconic Recycled Loops project produced a number of groundbreaking songs that shaped the modern genre.

UMEK’s music has changed throughout the course of his three-decade career to reflect contemporary styles, and he has continued to be one of the most significant techno artists. His career is coming full circle with the return of the Polyvinyl pseudonym, and he is once again embracing the improvisational production style that once brought him international recognition.

For this DT:Premiere we selected the title track “Mechanically Intensive” with a rolling bassline and filtered percussion. Jerking synth stabs are added to boost the offbeat energy, but it’s the timeless, tribal and schranz-like rhythms that create the throwback, dance floor burning sound.

We are happy to present you the third and final remix of Romina Dez & Muter's anthem Fascination. Canadian tribal master D-Unity was kind enough to give his interpretation of the original. His remix is heavily focused on groove and drums while including the main synth riff and vocal. Been tested many times with great reactions!
