Italian DJ/producer SLV returns on Mutual Rytm with five explosive techno cuts. Born and raised in Sicily but now based in Berlin, SLV is known for his innovative approach to techno and its various shades. He has released on revered labels like Soma and received support from key industry players who respect his ability to blend old-school vibes with modern production techniques. Away from the club, he also produces music for film soundtracks, adding a sense of cinematic edge to his techno cuts and is a master of both analog and digital technologies - a true audio engineer who crafts unique, compelling sounds. Having previously featured on the labels ‘Federation of Rytm III’ compilation, he returns to SHDW’s Mutual Rytm imprint with his ‘Night Echoes’ EP to open up October. ‘Graustufen’ opens with punch drum programming and scintillating percussion that dances atop the groove as booming bass brings serious weight down low. The superb ‘Grand Cayman’ is another potent techno weapon, this time with icy synth atmospheres and eerie moods pervading the tightly programmed drums and bass to deliver an unstoppable force. ‘Voids’ brings urgent funk with its hunched-over, closely stacked kicks and suspensory pads, which never let up and keep you locked in the moment, while ‘Elastik Pho’ echoes a classic Detroit sound with its soul-drenched beats and serene, uplifting, beautiful hi-tek style. Last but not least, ‘That Night’ shows SLV’s extraordinary range as it brings some soulful vocal loops and optimistic chords over thunderous drums, which are sure to power dance floors through to euphoria. The EP includes two digital bonus cuts: ‘Basic Uno’, which is a raw, percussive and heads-down banger, and ‘Persistence Of Memory’, which is stripped-back, glitchy and dubby techno for strobe-lit warehouses.
