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

Sungate welcomes Samuel Wallner with Wisconsin Romantic, a 4-track suite of raw elegance and understated power. Tracing to the geographical breeding ground of Techno, and operating in the shadows of fogged-out memory, Wallner crafts a language that whispers more than it speaks. Opening with Communicate, a skeletal transmission pulses with emotional interference, while Romanticism dives into rounded deepchord dub transmissions carved into rhythm. My Own Fog meanders through celestial atmosphere, a vaporous reverie anchored by perfectly measured percussion. Og Status closes the EP with militant poise, pacing itself through echoic play, dubby, brooding, and tightly wound. Wisconsin Romantic is a slow-burning elegy for distance, disconnection, and romantic dissonance, functional on the floor, but haunted by the industrial ghosts of the coldest America.
