Age of Aquarius EP by DJ Dextro
The Portuguese Techno don DJ Dextro returns to CLR with the dark and heavy Age of Aquarius EP.
DJ Dextro's "Age of Aquarius EP" kicks off with the absorbing "Sempre os Mesmos," opening up with impossibly tight, taut kick drums and sleek, howling bass. The precise, mechanical rhythm comes alive with freaky sound effects, soft hi-hats, and various warped, fizzing stabs that bring tension and a freaky, alien character.
"Conjectura" is another brilliantly deep and heavy Techno roller with sonar pulses and loopy synth motifs that hypnotize mind and body, while "Os Vendidos" sweeps with bass and another precision-engineered rhythm that is sleek, futuristic, and absorbingly dark. This beautiful, bleak vision of a post-human world closes with the buoyant Techno of "Age of Aquarius," imbued with a subtle sense of hope and euphoria that gets you on your toes.
DJ Dextro is one of the architects of European Techno. He has held several vital residencies over the last three decades, all while turning out meticulously crafted, deep, dark, but warm Techno for the likes of CLR, Second State, Planet Rhythm, Terminal M, and his own Codein Music. His sound is focused on rhythm and groove, with a touch of old-school but plenty of evocative, cinematic designs that make it as appealing to the head as it is to the body, once more on full display with the "Age of Aquarius EP" for Chris Liebing's essential label.
