out now: Pfirter – Black Sun EP [MindTrip]

Artist:
Pfirter

Title:
Black Sun EP

Label:
MindTrip

Cat#:
MT101

Release Date:
20th February 2026

Format:
download & streaming

Tracklist:
01.
Black Sun

02.
Event Horizon

03.
Gravitational Collapse

04.
Singularity

Press Info:
With Black Sun, Pfirter returns to MindTrip with a focused and uncompromising four-track statement built around gravity, pressure and controlled repetition. The EP explores techno not as release, but as a sustained state of tension and inward motion.

Each track unfolds through locked grooves and subtle variations, creating a hypnotic continuum where restraint and density define the movement. Black Sun sets the core and anchors the EP’s gravity. Event Horizon reinforces the irreversible pull, pushing the system toward a point of no return. Gravitational Collapse follows, compressing the energy and intensifying the pressure, before Singularity closes the record, establishing an immediate sense of motion and immersion.

Produced through a hardware-centered workflow and captured as performance rather than assembly, Black Sun reflects Pfirter’s approach to techno as a physical, immersive and timeless experience.

This is MindTrip!

(Axkan Remix)

Press Info:
BULAH makes his OMEN debut with “Under The Black Sun”, a four-track EP exploring shadowed atmospheres and driving techno functionality. We don’t usually release hypnotic techno—but these tracks were dark, intense, and uncompromising enough to make the cut. Each original by the Russian producer balances ritualistic momentum with raw club energy, layering percussive pressure and textured sound design to create a hypnotic, immersive flow.

The EP is complemented by two remixes that expand Bulah’s vision from distinct angles. German producer Irakli and label boss AXKAN reinterpret the material with unique intent—pushing it toward deeper, darker, and more confrontational territory while preserving its hypnotic core.

Together, originals and remixes form a focused underground statement: atmospheric, uncompromising, and designed for the dance floor. Under The Black Sun establishes Bulah as a precise and compelling new voice within OMEN’s catalog.

Under The Black Sun – A slow-burning opener with weighted percussion and shadowed textures, establishing a ritualistic and immersive tone.

Vicious Cycle – Relentless and mechanical, built on looping momentum and stripped-back pressure.

Bull’s Hour – Dark and imposing, with heavy low-end weight and deliberate pacing.

The Golden Path – Expansive and cinematic, introducing subtle melodic tension within the EP’s hypnotic framework.

Vicious Cycle (Irakli Remix) – German producer Irakli delivers a deeper, more immersive rework, emphasizing patience and late-night atmosphere.

Vicious Cycle (AXKAN Remix) – Label boss AXKAN transforms the track into a harder, industrial-leaning peak-time weapon.

Artist:
Nørbak

Title:
Chuva EP

Label:
Token Records

Sonho

Chuva

Capa

Press Info:
Checking back into Token with his unmistakable sound, Nørbak’s ‘Chuva’ delivers four relentless slices of modern techno. Stretching textures and grilling circuits, the EP presents itself as a statement expressing a high pressure dancefloor experience.

A proper introduction is never far from the Portuguese artist who has consistently pulled inspiration from ambient and experimental music. With one minute of drone to seemingly guide the experience, a swift switch decidedly flexes ‘Sonho’. Bending pitch and texture is a big theme in ‘Chuva’ and the A1 leaves nothing to the imagination as Nørbak makes his intentions as clear as ever. Switching to ‘Leveza’, the producer takes a minimalist approach with accents on the percussive arrangements. Whipping delays on off-beat drum hits create an unreal acoustic environment while maintaining a maximum amount of tension. The synth line remains insistent as rides and various hi hats urge the track into psychosis with every transition. The titletrack ‘Chuva’ takes a similar approach in the power of warm sound design, but this time we see a focus on warped melodics that are blissfully mixed in a track constantly bordering on chaos. Opening and closing the space, Nørbak takes to detuning his main synthline to create eruptive sections in the record while brewing a storm of ambience in the stereo field. As the final chapter, ‘Capa’ bends almost to a break. Rhythmically expressive in every way, the track drives the EP home with a dangerous bassline and dry percussion to ride off of it. Signing off for this latest contribution to Token records, Nørbak’s flare in the studio reasserts his position as one of techno’s most anticipated creators of recent years.
