mindtrip is pleased to announce the release of the labels 10th ep with 3 strong, synth orientated dancefloor tracks from label boss pfirter and a remix by tensal. the frenetic procyon begins the ep, a dark, atmospheric and intense track. with its driving percussive flow, its guaranteed to send whoever hears it into a feverish delirium. up next is rige, a more subtle and deep track which works a relentless groove alongside colourful metallic textures. tensal - also known as hektor sandoval and one half of spanish techno titans exium - remixes procyon superbly for the third track of the ep and demonstrates his innate ability to craft interesting and fresh sounding techno. the ep closes with closer to the truth, a hypnotic, trippy outing where tension and energy builds relentlessly amid a backdrop of organic anologue hubbub, providing a perfect showcase of pfirters trademark sound. this is mindtrip!
tensal is the first guest artist of the ownlife imprint and opens the year 2015 with a piece of authentic techno in all its forms. four initiatic cuts that re-define the sonorous shades of this label. ritual i is a return to the rough sound of the late 90s, no concessions, pure effectivity for the beginning of the record. the a side is completed with the more hypnotic part of the ep. a deep track, dry and minimalist with the elements needed to create the mystical atmosphere which floods this reference. ritual iii is absolute energy. a constant and atmospheric progression is perfect to create an impact on the dancefloor, maintaining tension to the end. the last track opens the door of the emotional side of the artist and represents a contribution of light to ownlife. a cut of dusty textures and delay tones. a landscape of stabs with a flawless structure for smoky clubs with low light.
limited pressing on red/black vinyl. c is tensals debut album & the first full length work to be released on tensal recs. personal and direct sound to the dancefloor.
tensal is supported by: ben klock, surgeon, oscar mulero, jonas kopp, dvs1, kirk degiorgio, developer, reeko, truncate, samuli kempi, ctrls, slam, truss etc.
