Press Info:
With sounds ranging from polished juggernaut kick drums to gritty basslines & percussion, paired with old school jacking vocals, Belfast based DAHRYL is taking the scene by storm and effortlessly proving to be an artist that can sit comfortably with the elite. His latest release sees him return to Rudosa’s sought-after Techno imprint Moments In Time with another stunning offering, including three new originals and
respective remixes from Tham & Illiya Korniyenko that form his ‘Back To Basics’ EP.

The release commences with ‘Hunters Bark’, delivering a lightning-fast flurry of rattling rhythms and low-frequency growl. Its coarse industrious melodic factors retain an explicitly underground feel whilst creative use of vocal layers and modulating FX bring an abrasive feel, making it an undeniably hard-hitting introduction to the EP.

‘Basic Bitch comes next, pushing along a chugging core of pounding kick drums and murky stabs alongside progressively energetic layers of tonal percussion and cleverly- stacked hat grooves. Add the introduction of offbeat fills and ominous vocals to the mix and you’ve got yourself another largely forceful peaky-time bomb on your hands.

The last of three originals, ‘Sweat’ does exactly what it says on the tin. An unavoidably intense affair from the first beat, the mix is packed tight with an array of demanding frequencies and riveting Industrial layers from the off. A certified warehouse weapon and then some, this is raw adulterated Techno – personified.

Tham’s percussive remix of ‘Basic Bitch’ is next up, grabbing you firmly from the outset. Thumping drum work and racy hat grooves drive the track forwards amongst a sea of rave stabs and rhythmic vox shots as its corrosive melodic core bleeds deeper into the track through climatic breaks and suspenseful transitions, delivering a high-octane rollercoaster from start to finish.

Netherlands-based Illiya Korniyenko sees off the release with a blistering remix of ‘Hunters Bark’, serving up another hardened portion of creative individuality. Keeping a firm foot on the gas, its breakneck tempo is teamed perfectly with an unrelenting array of rasping tones and menacing glitchiness to give it an unparalleled level of unique character.

Press Info:
Started on a shared vision, Dutch duo Hush & Sleep is a combination of Tom Tonnard and Frankie Decicco. The Complex Maastricht residents are well-versed in top-rate Techno releases, with offerings on Ellora, Opium Trax, Overtime Recordings and many more, including UK-based imprint Moments In Time. Following a remarkable debut on the label as part of its ‘Moments Vol.1’ compilation, they return for their first full EP, ‘Gom Jabbar’, whilst enlisting creative input from Italian artist Amstra on remix duties.

Kicking the door open on the release, the title cut ‘Gom Jabbar’ is an intensely savage affair from the outset. Hammering kicks and industrial-tinged hat sequences rocket through the heart of the track’s pacy persona whilst it modulates through different beat structures and continues to crescendo through murky synth layers and riveting bass notes. The track’s standout rave-inspired breaks and climatic builds add yet another layer of intensity, making for a stunning Peak-time warehouse bomb.

‘Metal Track’ follows suit, keeping the tempo at a premium. The track’s title is immediately apparent as a grungy metal riff begins to seep through its core of breakneck drum work and piercing hat grooves. This leads into another largely atmospheric breakdown with hurrying urgency before striking back into the main groove, this time with hardcore-infused twist via a screeching guitar layer.

Amstra’s remix of ‘Metal Track’ brings a new dimension to an already standout piece of music. Its progressively building melodic centrepiece is enveloped within a robust shell of thumping kick drums, riveting percussive cadence, and warped vox fills. Another attention-stealing warehouse-style techno warhead is at play here, with a mind-bending array of different scenes and styles dotted throughout the hair-raising journey.

The release closes out on ‘Rise From The Ashes’, completing a quad of undeniably raucous industrial-laden weapons. Corrosive frequencies slice through a roaring low-end drive via the medium of layered hats and distorted FX as the track’s gripping synth lead continues to rear its head upwards throughout the darkness of an ominously addictive peak-time Hard Techno number.
