Press Info:
We are back with our second installment on Vitus’ Curse presenting you Erfurt-based newcomer Aethernal. Driven by his fascination for diverse combinations of pounding rhythms and harmonics he already released on labels like Aythekos, Obscure Sorrows and his co-founded and label Linie Neun together for his first vinyl release in 2020. Fully prepared for the revival of raving he now delivers four original tracks compiled into a massive trip through otherworldly ethereal spaces, mesmerizing soundscapes, and heavy technoid breaks inspired by the realms of Techno, Ambient, and Electro. With Lifka’s take on “Colliding Worlds” as a perfect addition to this selection Vitus’ Curse strikes again bringing along Aethernal and his utmost captivating story about passion and ecstasy – unique, atmospheric, and with incredible momentum.

Vergil
Perfectly introducing the release “Vergil” shows its full potential right from the beginning. With heavy drive, distinctive arps, and its pounding rhythm it leads the way until the break turns into an intense tapestry of fervidly crafted sounds. Resembling the Limbus of the divine act of Vergil it breaks down in ominous soundscapes and reemerges in a glorious musical outburst between heaven and hell – full of rave energy and without compromise.

Colliding Worlds
With excellent sound design Aethernal’s “Colliding Worlds” takes the audience along on an otherworldly journey from ordinariness into uncertainty. Ethereal textures, broken rhythms, and a variety of wonderfully layered arps and pads together with the characteristical baseline embedded in an eerie atmosphere result in an unparalleled tangible story full of strong emotions and unforeseen twists.

Resurrection
“Resurrection” stands in contrast to the dystopian and crushed atmosphere conveyed in this selection. By introducing a vigorously forceful baseline, strength is summoned to resurrect from the absorbing shoals of darkness. Distinct synthesizer melodies carry both, an emotional dichotomy of melancholic heaviness ascension demands and the vibrantly optimistic look towards joyful vigor.

The Temple
The last track brings a harmonious conclusion to the tension built up beforehand. Choral and melodic elements emanate lightness and vibrancy regained through the final metaphorical arrival in the light. Disunity and obscurity are abandoned and the drifting, smooth rhythm paired with celestial strains takes one to the peaceful, eurythmic temple where zest for life and high spirits are nurtured.

Colliding Worlds (Lifka Remix)
Letting “Colliding Worlds” appear in a whole new light Lifka provided the EP with a stunning remix of this universal weapon. Fast-paced, atmospherically trancy, and with an utmost intense twist towards the end it is made for special moments on every dancefloor. Prepare for an ecstatic and uplifting ride through the night lead by Lifka – energetic, driving, and unique.

Press Info:
Emerging from the depths of the unknown vitus’ curse is about to be summoned. Destined to set every gathering in motion, the freshly started label-collective’s first release comes in two parts „Sonus Noctis” and „Sonus Diēi” representing the sound of both, night and day featuring 17 artists with a total of 20 tracks. With a journey from diverse rave atmospheres to vivid after hour euphoria we proudly present our meticulously curated selection of modern, dynamic club sounds settled in and around the realm of Techno. That being said, we’re more than prepared for the resurrection of a post-pandemic rave culture and we hope to see you, soon. Brace yourselves, the movement starts now.

Confluence – “Halftime”
Previously heard on labels like Etruria Beat, SUB tl, Warok and many more Confluence aka Evgeny Chizhkov now reappears on vitus’ curse with a dreamy after hour tool full of atmosphere. Embedded in its distinctive bassline paired with a sharp and cinematic percussion set “Halftime” goes right under the skin and is reminiscent of warm wafts of mist at dawn.

Egotot – “Bright Light In The End Of The Night”
Both as founder of Schimmer Records and as artist young talent, Egotot from Stuttgart initiated a remarkable creative outlet supporting the new generation of the scene. With “Bright Lights In The End Of The Night” we present his newest uplifting, dub-ish and propellent club weapon surely living up to its name. Outstandingly clean it instantly prompts good vibes and nonchalant motion on every dancefloor.

Lobec – “Transformation”
As if out of the blue he first appeared on the British Label Furthur Electronix with his masterpiece “5am Nostalgia”. Since then he repeatedly delivered cutting edge electronic sounds crafted with love and most refreshing musical narratives. In the same way “Transformation” satisfies with its utterly emotional vibe and an amazingly aesthetic soundscape – definitely one to mindfully listen to.

Not Modest – “Inner Unrest”
Both, as founder of vitus’ curse and as artist Not Modest makes his debut with his first official release via vitus’ curse. Full of energy his latest track “Inner Unrest” unleashes melancholic euphoria embedded in a fading 90s-Trance-ish tapestry of sound led by driving drum rhythms. Ably leading the way through a nostalgic after hour journey it just seems to be perfect to induce utterly exciting moments and a tangibly good vein.

Planar Traits – “Fading”
Having heard Planar Traits “Otherworld” via Osignat you can clearly feel his unique production style at once. With “Fading” we proudly present the young Scottish producer and DJ’s first track on “Vitus’ Curse: Sonus Diēi”. Emotional strings and uplifting acid sequences paired with driving drum patterns and a beautiful and refreshing atmosphere – truly a gem.

Planar Traits – “Spaces”
As his second contribution to “Vitus’ Curse: Sonus Diēi” we proudly present Planar Traits’ track “Spaces”, a journey through beautiful soundscapes with uplifting chords accompanied by a groovy bassline and dynamic drums & percussions. Embedded in its distinctive smoky vibe it almost feels like it is predestined for highly emotional moments on the dancefloor – which is what we’re keenly looking forward to.

Somoah – “Hgedon”
With his second appearance on vitus’ curse Somoah proves the versatility of his production styles and also gives a sneak peek into his more obscure passion Electro. Showing the great influence by his new love for Electro “Hgedon” rushes in with cheerful arps, an eerie mood and a fresh punching Electro-beat – a delightfully confusing but all the more pleasing story of nostalgia.

Talfelt – “Interwall”
As his second appearance on part two of the compilation up and coming artist Talfelt contributes another unique hardware-based performance. As always recorded as one take “Interwall” convinces with an exceptionally vivid and playful mood, dynamic drum patterns and propellent percussions with the typical warm-sounding analog charm – a pleasant journey through characterful soundscapes.

Terrestrial Access Network – “Plate Tectonics”
Young Talent ‘Terrestrial Access Network’ already surprised with a bunch of sophisticatedly crafted electronic cuts. Both as Collin Sullivan and Terrestrial Access Network he made his debut on Shapeshifter Records through which he has steadily kept releasing fresh electronic productions over the past few years. With “Plate Tectonics” he definitely made no exception – Acid Electronic at its finest.

Tillman – “A Place Called Castalia”:
Being part of the Nebula- and the EXIL-Collective Tillman has become more and more present in the nightlife of Leipzig over the last few years. After his last two releases via EXIL and now with his first appearance on vitus’ curse he clearly proves his capability to mesmerize every surrounding with his typically stunning and sentimental sound. While following his very own minimalistic approach “A Place Called Castalia” comes in gently but captivating with its distinctive and mantra-like whispering and fresh galloping drums & percussions.

That being said, we’re more than prepared for the resurrection of a post-pandemic rave culture and we hope to see you, soon. Brace yourselves, the movement starts now.

Cyb – “Restless”
As label head of Immaterial.Archives Cyb already worked with a broad variety of artists from the scene all over Europe and steadily keeps delivering solid, driving club weapons to be played on dancefloors all around the world both on his own and through the label. Now we gladly present his newest opus called “Restless”. Stocked with thick drums and subtle percussions this bassline driven peak time tool confidently builds up tension from end to end.

Egotik – “Corrupted Data”
After his excellent releases on Occult Rhythms, COUP, Hardest Soft and Insane Industry the young Spaniard now reappears on vitus’ curse with his newest highly energetic peak time weapon “Corrupted data”. Packed with sweltering bunker-atmosphere and thick drive it comes with the usual Egotik-treatment and convinces with its utmost intense rave atmosphere.

Goden – “Blutfluss”
With his first official release “Devil’s Gate” as contribution to Obsessions’ “Don’t Stop The Rave” VA and now his mindblowing “The Torture Never Stops EP” via Greenfetish Records GODEN surely made his way on the radar of the scene. “Blutfluss” now appears on vitus’ curse as the young swiss’ latest straightforward peak-time banger full of energy, a slightly EBM-ish touch and an eerie, almost dystopian vibe – a perfect complement to “vitus’ curse: sonus noctis”.

Graastein – “My Problem Child”
Highly underrated but all the more surprising Graastein from Norway now makes his first appearance on vitus’ curse bringing along his latest stomping creation “My Problem Child”. Coming in heavy and with a sinister and thrusting mood it keeps up its high energy all the way through. Modern straight forward techno cut out for dark sweaty club nights – absolutely massive.

King Kunta – “Expressions”
With his first two releases “A Castle In The Sky” and “Cerberus” on the Italian label Insane Industry King Kunta already made his point quite clear. His name stands for fast, energetic and heavy productions setting dancefloors into motion. His latest production “Expressions” comes as propelling as ever with an industrial-ish touch and an entrancing and outstanding atmospheric break.

LostButFollowed aka LBF – “Konter”
Deeply rooted in the nightlife of Berlin LBF now emerges with a new approach and a bunch of thrilling peak time weapons. With uncompromising drive, energetic drum-patterns and its unique atmosphere “Konter” is the freshly crafted second strike of up and coming artist LBF alongside his first release on the Berlin Label ‘Berlina fuer Techno’ and many more to come.

Murky fm – “Tuesday”
Both, as part of the Nebula Collective in Leipzig and on his own he already put out a recognizable amount of quality productions.

Red Rooms – “Rhun”
With his releases on Aesir Records, Õtomo and even more under the name Dominik Hisslinger he already showed a broad variety regarding his productions. Straight forward techno and fresh electronic cuts with amazing sound-design. “Rhun” takes the listener on a journey through otherworldly soundscapes accompanied by stomping drums and driving percussions full of verve.

Somoah – “Galax 2143”
Coming straight out of the Swedish Techno capital Malmö Somoah is no stranger to the scene. As part of Pommes 94 he released some high-quality material and also had numerous club appearances in the local nightlife. Still, “Galax 2143” surely comes as a massive surprise. Straight forward Techno with hypnotizing patterns, a blurred but kind of mesmerizing atmosphere and massive drive – purely unique and waiting to be heard at the next rave.

Talfelt – “Disparaître”
Exclusively working with hardware, the young German Talfelt already possesses an astonishingly huge creative output. Whilst every single track is a one take, he keeps surprising with diverse but always fresh ideas.
