German Deep Tech aficionado Charnaux signs the 8th instalment of Kuukou, an original three piece offering featuring two remixes entitled Fatal. The eponymous track spearheads the release, summoning a gloomy ambiance by the way of raw bass lines, metallic percussion and industrial glitches. Boasting a relentless groove that stops for no one, Fatal is bound to glue you to the floor in a dance-induced frenzy. Nico Pusch adds his signature Sunrise blend to the Fatal blueprint, transforming it into an uplifting melody accented with bell-like gleams while preserving its initial dancefloor-ready cachet. On the flip side, Panoptikum channels dark sub bass and mechanical sound bites in a construction that stays true to its title. On a foundation of deep alternating layers, a plethora of auditive slices and crunches manages to build a versatile motif instilling a murky yet inquisitive mood. Hong Kong/Taiwan based DJ and producer BB Deng provides an alternate rendition of Panoptikum, conveying her decade long experience into an acid-tinged remix that is as mesmerizing as it is effervescent. Elephant comes in the form of a joint effort with Vince, completing the trifecta of deep, tech and spaciousness. While the former tracks are centred around the first two, Elephant kicks off with a deeply expansive base, championed by an incessant lead line. With minimal components and an immersive backdrop, it’s a surefire attention grabber.
