Behind the Techno (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic) : Release Notes

The Open Circle makes an impactful debut with Dark Sunrise, the 137th installment in the Mood Series, giving us a compelling journey through deep, atmospheric dub techno. The title track, Dark Sunrise, starts the EP off with swelling melodies and a taut but deep beat that evolves into a steady, hypnotic pace. Its use of long, intricate delays add a mesmerising texture as chords rise and fall, becoming increasingly catchy. Its a showcase of strong, thoughtful production. Transition continues with a brisk, flighty atmosphere. Swirling synths and crisp percussion create a sense of urgency while dense chord work and sweeping melodies add a grand, addictive quality as the track flows effortlessly forward. Spirits shifts gears with a slightly broken beat that aligns itself gradually. The addition of light chanting gives it a haunting, almost spiritual intensity – a powerful, dramatic piece that feels both creative and unique. On Hidden Dimension, the slow-building momentum and an evocative break where ghostly remnants of the beat linger under gathering clouds craft an eerie, cinematic experience. Living in the Shadow brings mid-tempo weight with dominating, overcast atmospheres and impeccable production that balances intensity with mystery. Closing the release, Experience is a tension-builder with an ominous beauty, walking the line between awe and danger. Its a fitting finale that leaves a lasting impression. Dark Sunrise is a vivid, emotional ride through shadow and light, showcasing The Open Circles knack for deep atmospherics and intricate soundscapes. Each track offers something distinct, yet the project flows with purpose and precision – a memorable addition to the Mood Series.
