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

Portuguese techno force Lewis Fautzi debuts under his own name on Mutual Rytm with Beneath The Surface. The six-track EP features the release of the much hyped title track on 3rd April 2026. Hailing from Barcelos, Portuguese maestro Lewis Fautzi has carved out a formidable reputation through a run of uncompromising releases and a sound rooted in tension, precision and raw power – exemplified by his recent outing on the agenda-setting Hayes Collective. He has previously established his fierce, potent sound on Soma, PoleGroup, Mord, and a number of other influential labels, while also heading up Faut Section. Having previously appeared on Mutual Rytms Federation Of Rytm III compilation under his Non Cyclic alias, he now steps out on SHDWs label with a six-tracker busting full of impactful techno cuts. The heavily-requested Beneath The Surface opens the EP with menacing low-end and tightly coiled pressure thats released through simmering valves and hissing synths. The Hollow Cycle brings a loopy, tunnelling groove with a snaking lead and snaking metallic percussion, while Inner Mechanism keeps things dark, deep and driving with a backlit glow that pulls you in. Nonlinear Form is streamlined deep techno that fizzes with texture, spraying chords and a rumbling sub-bass, while closer Anamorph rides meticulously designed broken beats with an ever-present sense of bass-driven foreboding. For digital purchasers, sparse and eerie bonus Surface slams down with industrial weight and real warehouse grit, shaping up another weighty offering for the label.
