Album Review
HYPRK
Reviewed 2024-02-10
Sizzling organic techno from Austrian newcomer, Conntex. Recently co-founded COMO records. Great percussion-forward sound that creates a robust, driving, backbone. Serious stuff.
All tracks FCC Clean
Start with 2, 3, 6

1. Starts with nature field recordings (first 1 minute) that slowly fade into a punchy beat. A bit of fidget squelch adds flavor
*2. Drum-heavy tribal techno track with raw edges
*3. Busy track with a swirling melody, metallic elements and repeated vocal samples
4. Remix of track 3. Darker, bass-drenched, with toned down vocals
5. Grooving techno with an industrial flavor. Rattling percussion and a bit of digital glitch/crush and wobble
*6. Hypnotic techno punctuated by choral vocal samples and a dazzling synth line. Long and expansive with an epic feel
