the secret initiative has been cloaked in secrecy since it’s inception in 2009.
over the past 8 years there has been a lot of speculation on who the artist(s) is/are behind this project. is it a collective of artists or a solo artist still remains to be answered. the secret initiative is a multi styled project ranging across the spectrum of acid techno, dub techno, hard techno & ebm mostly done in a 1990’s flavor but with a modern day punchy production sound. here on the latest release we have two peak time dance floor killers. “synesthete” a dark track-y techno climax-er with a whisper vocal sample repeating “i see the music, i hear the light” which builds into a monster of a track. on the flip side is the hard but hypnotic “return to mcmxc” which pays hommage to the 1990 frankfurt technoclub/dorian gray ebm techno sound.

tsi returns with more dark, deep hypnotic hard techno goodness this latest installment of tsi. the >grinding machine< does just what the title intends. the same can be said for the adjective use in titling >dark, dirty & broken<. the people are asking who and where the secret initiative are from. tsi answers why does it matter? will knowing make the music sound better? the clues of whom it is be heard through the secret codeslocked in the grooves of the vinyl. listen closely and maybe you can piece it all together. if not listen closely and enjoy the music!
