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

Ribé & Roll Dann serve up potent techno on Mutual Rytm with Virtus Occulta. Built around concepts of unacknowledged work and enduring merit, the release marks their first EP on SHDWs widely respected label. Based in Toledo and Madrid, Ribé & Roll Dann are exciting residents at Laster Madrid and Lanna Club, two of Spains leading venues. Emerging as driving forces in their national techno scene, they have also made an impact on the global landscape, making wider moves through collaborative releases on Klockworks, and individual outings on a number of other influential labels. Having previously featured in the labels Federation of Rytm IV compilation, the pair make their full EP label on SHDWs Mutual Rytm imprint to open March with a deep dive into their expansive sound. Opener Sub Terra is a pure club tool that is direct, physical and rooted in the underground with a seriously heavy low end. Extra Lumen is more restrained but still built on a steady, forceful rhythm with controlled energy that prefers to operate in the shadows. Ars Non Placens stays true to the idea that music is not made to please, but to exist on its own terms with hunched drums and dubby undercurrents. Next, Meritum Negatum fizzes with static electrical charge and minimal drum funk and is a direct reflection on overlooked skill and unacknowledged work, before closer Virtus Persistens delivers a continuity and a steady pulse rather than an explosive ending, keeping you locked throughout. In addition, three digital bonus cuts come alongside the vinyl package. Labor Inauditus speaks to hours of technique, production and booth experience that remain invisible. Next come the taught, rubbery rhythms and unrelenting atmosphere of Silentium Testium, while Sine Aplausu – which means without applause – brings a ghostly late night vibe that you will never want to end.
