OMEN Recordings is delighted to welcome back Berlin-based Colombian artist BRAYAN VALENZUELA for his second EP release with the label. This latest offering features an intense collection of originals, complemented by cutting-edge remixes from Edinburgh's DUELLIST and Los Angeles-based EAS. Each track showcases the unique flair of the remixers, further enriching Valenzuela's visionary sound.
New Hole - "New Hole" is an offbeat hypnotic track that lures listeners into a mesmerizing trance. Crafted with intricate rhythms and an undercurrent of ethereal synths and samples, this piece sets a complex, rhythmic foundation that invites deep introspection amidst its pulsating beats.
You Are Gold - A standout track, "You Are Gold" drives the EP forward with its peak-time, driving beats and twitchy textures. This track is an anthem for the night, pushing the limits of electronic music with its rapid-fire rhythms and immersive, high-energy soundscapes.
Put Pizza in Your Mouth - This hard-stomping track combines relentless energy with haunting stabs, creating a brooding atmosphere that's both invigorating and intense. "Put Pizza in Your Mouth" is a daring sonic exploration that captures the essence of peak dancefloor moments, marked by its bold textures and dynamic pace.
New Hole (EAS Remix) - EAS strips back "New Hole" to its core with a no-nonsense approach that focuses on the essential elements of techno. His remix is a masterclass in minimalism, using sparse compositions to highlight the powerful simplicity of techno, delivering a relentless auditory experience that commands attention.
You Are Gold (DUELLIST Remix) - DUELLIST transforms "You Are Gold" with his signature hard-charging, industrial tones, elevating the track's inherent energy to new heights. This remix retains the original's dynamic spirit while infusing it with a raw, metallic edge that is quintessentially Duellist.
BRAYAN's roots in Colombia and Spain, combined with his immersion in Berlin's techno culture, provide a rich background that informs his distinctive sound—a blend of Latin American influences with European precision and minimalism. Meanwhile, Duellist, known for his rugged, industrial soundscapes, and EAS, who brings a polished, minimalistic approach, add layers of depth and contrast, making this EP a pivotal release for OMEN Recordings. Together, they encapsulate the global spirit of techno while pushing the boundaries of its expression.
