INFO


Coming forth on Amelie Lens imprint Lenske after a m uch solid stream of releases on Molekül, Perfusion and his own label Elixyr Reco rds, as well as his contribution to Dax J?s recent Monnom Black compilation, up- and-coming Paris-based producer Dario Brkic aka AIROD rounds off his breakthroug h year with his fifth solo 12?, ?Voltage? EP. Following on from outings by Milo Spykers, Farrago and Amelie Lens, whom he met during her all-nighter at REX in P aris a few months ago, the Frenchman here contributes a quartet of high-octane d ancefloor wreckers that shall get the pressure gauge into the red zone effortles sly, no matter the hour of the day or the baking level of its audience.

Designed to take over the largest sound systems with optimum for ce, AIROD?s new 12? for Lenske adroitly swings the pendulum between an unflinchi ng industrial thump on predator mode (?Voltage?) and propulsive acid out the ?90 s continuum (?Frozen Throne?, ?Acid Effect? ? note the nod to Laurent Garnier?s classic tune). Lacing up classic old-school tropes with contemporary techno moti fs, AIROD delivers a nonstop banging 12? that?s geared to torment up to the most resilient of ravers with its explosive mix of warehouse-sized gabber kicks, gus ty 303 whorls and fierce crescendos whipping up a frenzy.

Intended t o convey a feeling of ?breathlessness? into the club, Dario?s double pair of ste ely dashers were constructed so each of the cut?s last stretch would come, he ex plains, as a release point for all the ?frustration? stacked up over the course of the track. Mission accomplished with this forcible, hypnotic and overly stami na-testing piece of hard-boiled tec hno ? retro-revering yet future-ready in equal measure. Not for the faint of hea rt.
