Northern Electronics have already released a clutch of exceptional records this year, Varg's "Ursviken" and Acronym's "June" to name but two, but this EP tops the lot with knobs on. "Taotast" is deep techno in excelsis, three heaving masses of polyrhythmic pyrotechnics capped by the utterly astonishing title track which will have revellers' jaws hitting the floor en masse whenever it's played out. A paragon of gobsmacking prosiliency. Nic Brown
The ritual is set: we have the place, the time, the objects, the language and the group. Only one element is missing: a "Doctrine"... Not anymore, thank you Skymn. Hypnotic Techno Circle
The excellent Barcelona label House of (S)PUNK is back with a five-song comp showcasing the local hardgroove scene. Bandcamp New & Notable May 1, 2024
It is said that "Deep Blue" is Hypnus' most successful release, but why? Is it linked with each piece being a monument of the deep techno culture? Is it the game of tension, perfectly executed between the light and dark forces, and/or the so-trippy aquatic immersion, deep and beautiful? Is it because the hypnotic tracks have been designed by among the most talented artists of the genre? No, really, no idea, please help us out 🙂🙌👏❤️ Hypnotic Techno Circle
