Press Info:
Stanz Amor delivers a five-track EP that blends crunchy sound design, tribal influences and driving grooves into a cohesive statement of energy, movement and atmosphere. Hailing from Blackpool UK, Stanz Amor Emerged in 2023 with a distinctly old-school approach, channeling groove, rhythm and intensity into a modern context, which he showcases on his Backspin Records debut EP ‘Mercurial’.

Opening with ‘Kong’, the EP sets the tone with an old school spirit reimagined through a contemporary lens. Loopy structures, banging percussions and textured, gritty elements create a hypnotic flow designed for peak-time moments. ‘Mercurial’ raises the intensity, propelled by fast-paced hi-hats and shimmering rides that inject constant motion, while a rolling low end give the track serious weight. A striking Latin vocal lingers throughout, leaving a lasting impression long after the track fades. On the B-side ‘Count’ shifts the energy into a groove led by bongos underpinned by a heavy sub and catchy, repeating vocals that lock into a tight, circular rhythm. ‘Yawhoo’ follows with a punchy kick, rumbling foundation and driving percussion, elevated by a check vocal and a whistle straight out of the 90s rave era, adding a playful, nostalgic edge. The closing track is a remix of ‘Count’ by Steve Redhead, who reinterprets the original with forceful yet hypnotic percussion and finely detailed vocal work. A Belgian techno mainstay since the early 2000s, Redhead is known for his uncompromising, groove-driven sound and lasting influence within the underground.

With this release, Stanz Amor delivers a focused and effective collection built on groove, repetition and dancefloor functionality. Released on Regal’s Backspin Records, a label rooted in the underground and dedicated to honoring techno’s origins while pushing its future, the project balances nostalgia with modern clarity, designed to resonate in clubs and to leave a lasting impact.
