Victor Ruiz’s VOLTA continues its prominence with another emphatic techno offering, providing the platform for a head-turning label debut from rising Brazilian starlet Lutgens as he delivers his “Fénix” EP with full force this September. Following releases on Panterre Musique, Prototype Music, IAMT and several others, Lutgens steps out of the studio with another undeniably potent package, spanning two hypnotic peak-time jams that showcase the full depth of his production skills. Kicking off with the title cut “Fénix,” Lutgens wastes no time unloading that distinct ethereal-laced sound VOLTA is becoming synonymous with. Pulsating grooves, rippling low-frequency rumble, and rising musical resonance are all at play here, facilitating an expanding ebb and flow filled with atmospheric crescendos and deep-plunging breaks - hard-hitting interplanetary techno at its absolute finest yet again. “Sinistro” brings the release to a head with another firm hand strike. Urgent, racy rhythms drive the track forwards through a gauntlet of sinister sonic characteristics as it careers alongside another electrifying low-end roar throughout, with shards of acid and melodic techno fragmenting into the mix.
