DIG Curated Germany Vinilo y CD

Review: CHAMI's DHAEUR deliver's a fresh techno EP that explores a futuristic and atmospheric soundscape. Side-1 opens with 'Subject Zero,' a track infused with melodic, sci-fi elements that immediately set a deep tone for the rest of the album. The journey continues with 'MIN(E)D,' where an ominous, spooky vibe takes over, giving the listener a sense of tension and mystery that feels almost cinematic. Flipping to Side-2, 'Steps' introduces an energetic, rolling groove that propels the EP forward with a futuristic edge, perfect for keeping the momentum on the dancefloor. Finally, 'HEX1904d1' wraps things up with a deep, spacey jam that delves into more introspective territory, rounding out the release with a sense of depth and exploration. This EP provides a varied and intriguing mix of techno that should appeal to those who enjoy both energetic rhythms and atmospheric, sci-fi-inspired sounds.

Review: DIG Curated boss Marronn spotlights Tbilisi's underground powerhouse Uvall aka Irakli Bregvadze, who has long been a key figure in Georgia's techno scene. His minimalist yet mysterious sound blends enigmatic synths with undulating tempos here, always with physical grooves established in the low end. Lead track 'Northern Lights' has earth-shattering drum loops and scurrying synth details that sketch out an underwater world dripping with sweat. 'Reminiscence' has more robust drums and eerie sound designs that make for a cavernous feel and 'Bleak' is more anxious, with kicks stacked closely and unnerving synths searching for signs of life. 'Sleepwalker' is a zoned-out roller to close in hypnotic fashion.
