PREMIERE: Rambadu - Visie [Hypnus Records]

The latest gem in the ever-inspiring Hypnus Records catalog comes from Rotterdam-based Rambadu, a relative newcomer who spent his recent years researching the energetic powers and healing properties of sound. In 2019 and 2020, Rambadu released two successful EPs on his label (the latter including a fantastic remix by Luigi Tozzi). For his collaboration with Hypnus, Rambadu delivers a four-tracker ‘Ajna’ - an incredible tribal techno journey that keeps on giving with each new listening.

Rambadu’s use of live percussions and acoustic instruments paired with hardware devices and modulated field recordings shine in its brightest light in the ‘Ajna’ EP. The closing track and our premiere for today, ‘Visie,’ is an after-hour tribal-techno delight. The driving rhythm, a heartbeat of ‘Visie,’ layered with organic percussive intricacies, is an ideal foundation for drone pads and field recordings to do their magic in the background and create quite a hypnotic atmosphere.

‘Ajna’ EP is coming out on June 24th via Hypnus Records.
