Hands down, Empath has got to be one of techno's most accomplished producers right now, mixing a blend of industrial fanfarre with tantalizing undertones of grooviness, topped with a gentle knack for invention we rarely get to see in such abundance in one single talent. With 'Devil Music' he makes his return to Disturb.

This is an EP that never disappoints, always flashing between pure brilliance and crafty mindfulness —all meat and no fat. Above all, it's the statement of a fully mature auteur of undisputed merits, putting out one great track after another just begging for recognition.

Listen only here the premiere for the track 'Empath - Inner Demon Moshpit' to be out with this EP in september via https://soundcloud.com/disturbtechno

https://soundcloud.com/augusto-taito, young talented producer from Argentina delivers new EP 'Data Fluids', a notorious latin influenced techno EP with a deep tribal feeling in it's core structure.

Opaque and groovie basslines are the main ingredient of the subtle tone of his tracks. Combining gentle usage of noise and percusive elements with a futuristic approach to the melodic section, Augusto manages to craft a feeling being entranced, as possesed by a spell.

Listen here to the premiere for the track: Augusto Taito - Feels Different (Original mix)

Release date: August 30, 2021 via https://soundcloud.com/ucker_records

Luis del Carmen landed this august with a very interesting 2-track EP titled 'Warlocks'. The release is going to be released this friday August 27, 2021 via Numen.

Luis del Carmen's sound profile can be best described as dark and cinematic; combining an innate knack for melodies with the beauty of dark tension and aggression found in techno.

Listen here the premiere of the track that kicks off the Warlocks EP, ‘Raver’s Delight’, described as a slickly curated peak-time cut that champions relentless percussion and haunting vocal injections. Its motive and personality are recognisable from the outset, with intensity growing yet further with each passing euphoric break and subsequent drop. In true del Carmen fashion, the cut presents a concise melodic identity that proves hypnotic in its effect and is sure to resonate with ravers across the globe.
