Part Danish, part Croatian techno maestro Denis Horvat has wasted no time in making a name for himself as an artist to sit up and take note of. After erupting onto the scene with vibe heavy releases on some of the underground’s most coveted labels Denis returns to Alex Niggeman’s AEON imprint with a club ready three track EP sure to set dancefloors alight throughout summer 2016.

Opening with title track ‘Exit’ Denis quickly sets the tone for what’s to come with a rapturously rolling beat and instantly recognisable pounding bassline. With the introduction of long, drawn out bass folds and quickening synths going a long way to set the pace, Denis expertly builds anticipation before dropping the track into a deep, club ready roller – leaving no doubt in his expert production capabilities.

Next up, ‘Moderna’ rolls in and keeps the vibe decidedly underground with a plethora of futuristic horns and synth interchanges quickly building suspense before the beat kicks in and the listener is taken to altogether more euphoric place. With a deeply moreish keyboard loop and atmospheric bass formations, ‘Moderna’ ups the ante on this record, taking the release from straightforward club EP, to artist defining record.

Rounding off the three tracker, ‘Transparent’ opens with a tough punchy beat that can be instantly attributed to Horvat’s sonic aesthetic. The beat gives way into deep, driving drums before the whole track takes an almost acidic turn with waspy synths and a compellingly underground bassline, leaving no doubt in this track’s sure fire capability as a big room club weapon.

Calling in Marvin & Guy for remix duties the EP is brought to a close with the duo’s up tempo interpretation of ‘Transparent’. Keeping the track firmly club ready, Marvin & Guy’s influence can be heard in quazor like synths and elongated build up before the clappy high hats give way to an intense dancefloor roller sure to have a massive impact on the underground techno scene from London to Miami and back again.
