Behind the Techno (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic) : Release Notes
The eighth volume of IMFs HARDPROOF again spotlights both rising talents and established techno artists. This latest compilation arrives on 2 May 2025 and features Kabay, VNTM, Sol Ortega, Serge André, Danny Wabbit and KUSS who each offer a distinct take on the sort of high-impact, stripped-back techno thirty label head Marcel Fengler is best known for. Polands Kabay opens the release with Felix Dream, a haunting, mystical track driven by relentless drums. Dutchman VNTMs Transyl is a dark, atmospheric cut shaped by his live performance and Argentinas Sol Ortega blends Detroit influences and euphoric synths on the bouncy yet deep Itaewon. Medellíns Serge Andrés AyaSacha channels 90s psychedelia into a contemporary framework while Istanbul mainstay Danny Wabbits B12 offers pure hypnotic minimalism. Frenchman KUSS closes with The Power of Dreams, a cosmic journey with warm textures and dusty kicks. With HARDPROOF VA08, Fengler continues to curate forward-thinking techno that resonates both physically and emotionally while reinforcing IMFs reputation for cutting-edge sounds.
