#69 Feat. New Releases in Techno (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic)

Rene Wise returns to Dustin Zahns Enemy Records with a massive follow up to 2022s label debut, Jungle House. On Deprivation, the Moving Pressure artist delivers 4 undeniable, heads-down Techno grooves in his signature style. Minimalism is the theme on the A-side. Anxiety and Insomnia are both stripped down and tripped out. Both hold steady in arrangement, allowing for the smallest details to shine through. Each track is topped off with Renes otherworldly synth washes and FX splashes atop of steady unwavering grooves. A slight departure from his usual grooves, the B-side drifts off into uncharted territory while keeping in line with the moodiness of the A side. Sakar focuses on a pulsating tension-building synth line in constant flux. Meanwhile, staccato basslines and percussive splashes merge to form the records funkiest moment on Cutting Thick.
