“Collaboration, not competition” is the motto of Body To Body, Sina XX’s new collaborative platform for harder sounds. The founder of Subtyl – one of the artist collectives responsible for Paris' rave renaissance – has gathered an army for high-pressure techno: underage KAOS affiliate u.r.trax, trance veteran Voiski, Cassie Raptor, K.U.S.S and Munsinger.

Physical to their core, these 5 tracks are made to disrupt the effects of social distancing. “Miroir” opens up with u.r.trax' iconic voice, hammering a quote from Nietzsche (who said techno can’t be smart?) on a production that reminds a faster, harder take on early 2000’s electroclash. On “Invisible Fire”, a mind-bending synths part blurs the line between hard techno and trance, while the flip side offers a selection of forward-thinking rave bangers.[info sheet from distr.]
