The ‘Devil’s Playground EP’ releases in May and takes up the torch from Kamikaze Space Programme, whose ‘Ashes To Ashes, Dust To Dust’ released late last year and saw support from Barker, Luke Slater, Mumdance, Alienata and more. Throughout the four tracks on the EP, Rommek showcases his illustrious mastery of sound design, pushing his machines to the limit crafting experimental yet functional techno. In ‘Cut The Mustard’, the sizzle of a broken signal establishes the mood, whirling breakbeats navigate layers of distorted instrumentation as pounding kickdrums send sparks flying. The title track of the EP then continues with a hasty rhythm and psychotropic sounds, acid droplets trickling through Rommek’s carefully designed dreamscape. On the B-side, ‘Shattered’ speeds things up with unwavering drums and a steady drone, percussion striking the beat like lightning with thunderous atmospherics filling in the space between. ‘Rebound’ enters the fray with settled skies, synths bubbling above modular sequences rounding off this pacy, mind-warping entry on one of techno’s most forward thinking labels. Rommek has seen his music released by the heaviest of renowned labels such as MORD, ARTS & James Ruskin’s Blueprint Records. He first released with Natural Selection via their acclaimed 2022 charity VA alongside names like Assembler Code, Jeroen Search and Umwelt, and now emerges as one of the label’s flagship artists following many appearances on their notorious line-ups at London institution Fold. ___ DISCLAIMER: All tracks are uploaded in a low quality for promotional purposes only and with buy links to respect label and artists.
