concealed sounds is a brand new label from the copenhagen based producer and dj martinez. the label is set up as a platform for the more deeper shade and experimental sound of techno and house music. it will feature releases by martinez himself, but also showcase some new talents as well as well known colleagues from the scene. and as the label name suggests each release will include a hidden sound, beat, groove or ambient piece. the first release comes courtesy of martinez, and its called: hollow ep. it starts off with a 14 minute piece of modern modular based techno. deep hypnotic rhythms lay down the foundation while high pitched noisy metallic sounds build over the hollow groove, before the baseline kicks in to lift everything to another level. the piece finally breaks down completely, to an almost horror-film-soundtrack like ambience before the groovy rhythms find their way back to bring the track to life again
