Press Info:
Continuing his commitment to the supply of top-quality avant-garde Techno music, Berliner Marcel Fengler’s IMF (Index Marcel Fengler) imprint steadies itself for the third in a series of impressive compilation releases, welcoming some of techno’s most uniquely talented producers to the fore with a selection of robust underground jams.

Kicking things off with renowned Indian artist Arjun Vagale, you get your first slice of ferocity on the ravenous ‘Delta Drive’ serving pacy, industrial techno with an ominous sci-fi feel before Suara frontman Coyu’s ‘Deliberate Assault’ continues the raw and racy theme, flooding the track with thumping drums and piercing percussive intensity throughout.

UVB’s ‘Shinkansen’ comes next, breaking up the five tracks with an expressive fusion of vibes, combining dreamy melodic layers with hard-hitting, stripped-back grooves to deliver a refreshingly unique endgame. The Sixth Sense then plunges things back into the depths with ‘Regret’, building around an intricate arrangement of warped samples and hooking rhythmic phases before MarAxe arrives to seal the release with ‘Alada’ and its atmospheric blend of looping vox chops, ravey synths, hissing hat grooves and hammering kicks, rounding off the release with a relentless ebb and flow of hardcore peak-time industrial techno prowess.

(SHDW & Obscure Shape Remix)

Press Info:
There’s no denying Marcel Fengler’s profound impact on the ever-changing techno landscape. A pioneer in his own right, Fengler’s works have flooded dancefloors and set lists worldwide for decades, and that shows no sign of changing anytime soon. His latest work is an all-encompassing four-track EP titled “Unleashed”, including a remix from sought-after Stuttgart duo SHDW & Obscure Shape.

Kicking off with the title track, “Unleashed” introduces the EP with high-octane rhythms, pulsating low frequency sonics and rave like harmonic layers. An unrelenting onslaught of fast paced thumping techno, built around long, sweeping notes, vocal injections and a piston-like bassline, this one was made for the height of the party. “Caution” is next to feature, presenting itself as a robust industrial number with harsh percussive drive and endless layers of cadence throughout the mix. Weighty yet groovy in a unique up-tempo way, its robotic vocal splashes make the perfect accomplice for its potent warehouse vibes.

“Cypher” pulls you into the second half of the EP with rattling rhythms and more gritty sweeping musicality. Exhibiting the depth in his production skills, Fengler loads up the mix with a kaleidoscope of percussive elements alongside thumping kicks, surging synths, and another haunting robotic vox before SHDW & Obscure Shape get their teeth into a signature remix. Taking it deeper and darker, the duo’s emphasis on subtle progressions and increasing intensity throughout the mix with offbeat trickery and creative unpredictability make their remix of “Cypher” a certified peak-time bomb.

“It has been quite a journey with this EP, as I’ve been exceptionally discerning about the sound and the entire production process. My goal was to create a release tailored for the dance floor, with the right amount of energy for peak-time moments, while also ensuring a profound and well-structured sonic experience. After testing potential tracks in my DJ sets, I distilled what I believe captures the essence I want to share with the audience. Furthermore, I’m thrilled to have SHDW & Obscure Shape on board for a formidable remix. Their work carries echoes of the raw and forceful sonic textures from earlier times, which I hold in high regard. I’m genuinely delighted with how everything has come together, and I hope you enjoy it!” – Marcel Fengler
