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

Mathys Lenne explores new and immersive techno sonics with his Detlev EP on Mutual Rytm. French DJ/producer Mathys Lennes artistic vision is rooted in his deep connection to rhythm. Telling stories with his sounds while drawing inspiration from poetry and cinema and blending hypnotic textures with raw intensity, his music is widely supported across the scene via labels like Mord, Hayes and more. Across five vinyl cuts and three digital bonuses, the four-deck wizard keeps it deeply atmospheric with his label debut on SHDWs Mutual Rytm imprint, combining elements of psychedelic rock, unique voice samples and saturated synths to create a sound that feels immersive and unrestrained in contrast to the fast-paced, visceral techno he has become known for. Detlev opens up with hefty kicks that demand you quicken your step, while industrial effects and creepy design brings the detail that makes the track pop. The classy Natural Born Killers rides on firm kicks with loopy percussive details tightly coiled, ensuring you are forever on edge as the drums march on. Choose Your Pill is a stripped-back and pulsing deep techno cut with deft synths that peel off the groove, before Untidy Echo delivers a cavernous sound with sparse hits and low-end rumbles that place you in the centre of an underground cavern. Enfer ou Ciel featuring D.E.S brings a sense of melancholy in the occasional string sounds and watery droplets that float over more frictionless, meditative beats - while the trio of digital bonus cuts brings moody subterranean rollers ranging from snaking and dubby to more drum-led and eerie tones.
