Press Info:
– There is an idea, the basis of an internal structure, expanded and split into different shapes or groups of sound constantly changing in shape, direction, and speed, attracted and repulsed by various forces –

With each having already released full EPs on the label, Deano and Rèdacs join forces on a split EP that showcases concept-driven tracks for the dancefloor. On the A-side, Deano offers grooving techno cuts inspired by 90s-era productions. ‘Tension’ is underpinned by a haunting vocal, whilst ‘Traction’ is rooted on a raw, repetitive synth sequence. On the B-side, Rèdacs takes things deeper with tracks that incorporates rolling basslines and hypnotic synth textures. ‘Calcified’ gradually builds throughout the arrangement whilst ‘Contaminant’ keeps the listener locked in with its looping, spacey sonic architecture.

Lupercus
(Feral Intepretation)

04.
Rapsodia Sciamanica
(Svarog Remix)

 

Press Info:
The EP Lupercus inaugurates the Lykos Records label, inspired by the legendary figure of Lupercus and the rites connected to him. The lupercali, among the most important festivals of the roman calendar, were celebrated every year on the Palatine hill in honor of the god Lupercus. The propitiatory fertility ritual was consummated near the ancient cave where the lupa nursed Romulus and Remus. From these celebrations comes the choice to title the tracks Lupercus and Rapsodia Sciamanica, as a wish for longevity and prosperity for Lykos Records. The ritual begins with Lupercus from the gloomy soundscape that hides, in an aura of mystery, brilliant and strident sound details. Feral’s interpretation confers a magical and ethereal dimension to the track, creating a suspended harmony with the use of flutes and pads. Ancient rites are re-evoked by the obscure sounds of Rapsodia Sciamanica which brings the ancestral roman cult back to life. Worg’s music with obsessive rhythms and oneiric melodies is the bridge between our reality and the pagan divinity. In the hands of the Ukrainian Svarog, the track is tinged with dull colors with a strong, predominance of the kick and a swirling drone, thus completing the ceremony.
