Featuring Orbe on Token
Spanish techno producer Fernando Sanz operates under the alias Orbe and runs his own Orbe Records label. His releases span raw and hypnotic techno to peak-time driving tracks across labels including Token, Non Series, and Mote Evolver.
ORBE debuts on Token.
The Spanish producer arrives on the label with a brace of high energy, atmospheric dance floor cuts. Leaning tentatively towards a more booming, warehouse-ready finish, the four track EP channels funk, density and smart sound design in equal measure.
Tripping opener FM-2030 marries a bold, aquatic lead sequence with glassy pads set in the sonic periphery that serve to create a pleasing sense of suspension. Drum machine flourishes help guide the recording onwards, increasing intensity where required and exuberant synth hits wax and bend in support along the way, tying up a classy, rolling number. A-side follow up Extropy features booming, fathoms deep low end and that same sunk, introspective finish. Noisy percussive elements inject groove and dynamics to proceedings while a growling synth shifts in and out of view for added effect. The caustic Transhuman builds itself around a single warping lead, expertly tweaked and plied along its run time to generate a palpable hysteria. Buoyed by expertly centred kicks, it’s a powerful piece of off kilter dance floor material. Closing piece Posthuman Being drives the record home – an expertly executed slice of peak time Techno, complete with driving bassline and crisp atmospherics for added character.//
