Sales Note
Blazej Malinowski joins forces with Neel, Claudio PRC, Milena Glowacka and Svreca for a collaborative EP via his own Inner Tension imprint this May.

Over the past decade, Poland-born now Berlin-based producer, DJ Blazej Malinowski has been deliver his twist on Techno via imprint such as Semantica, Kvalia, TGP, 012 and of course his own Inner Tension label where he returns here with a new collaborative EP. The idea behind the record was to merge Blazej with artists he has close connections to and create music that would capture the moment in time at which it was made, based on pure emotion and without limitation. The resultant 'Are We All Alone or Just Overwhelmed?' EP is testament to Blazej's inherent connection to Techno.

Up first on the package is 'Time Is Relative', a collaboration with Italian DJ, producer and engineer Neel which meanders through an amalgamation of intricately intertwined synth leads, robust percussion, and a grinding low- end drive. 'Riddle' with Claudio PRC follows and wanders into deeper territories via ethereal, billowing textures, metallic chimes and resonant synth flutters floating atop a circling bass groove and crisp drums.

On the flip-side Milena Glowacka joins Blazej for 'Equal', a subtly unfurling composition laid out across seven minutes with bubbling tones, dynamic percussive elements and a pulsating low-end. 'Coincidence', composed with Svreca then rounds out the release, a murky journey through haunting atmospherics, bumpy off-kilter drums, and eerie percussive fills.

Tracklisting:
A1 Blazej Malinowski - Wave
A2 Blazej Malinowski - Silent Resistance
B1 Blazej Malinowski - Acid Theory
B2 Blazej Malinowski - Acid Theory (747 remix)

Sales Note
Joining the label for the first time, the masterful Blazej Malinowski brings three acid-dipped hypnotic hallucinations in his latest record entitled Moods EP.

Casting off, 'Wave' plunges into a subaqueous world with gurgling acid and soft breathy pads - a backwards roll into chop for a lowlight dive. Venturing deeper, tensions rise in 'Silent Resistance' as we are immersed in a viscous acidic bassline. Rubbery bands of kelp slap and entangle us as we make our way through the gloomy benthos.

Over on the B-side, we resurface to the frenetic 'Acid Theory'. The scend of the waves brings an orderly and rhythmic energy to the cut. Crossing the strand, Aquaregia mainstay 747 lightens the mood with a broken beat remix of the B1. An unresolved arpeggio and whining acid line bring the EP to a conclusion as the sun dispels the overcast. More

A1 Blazej Malinowski - Probability

Inner Tension is the record label of Polish (Berlin-based) artist Blazej Malinowski which is an expression of his deep interpretation of techno. The label aims to provide an eclectic vision of dance music which reaches deep within the mind itself and projects atmospheric and warm sounds for the dancefloor.

The 001 sees a 4-track EP released January 2021 on vinyl/digital containing 3 originals by Blazej himself & a remix by Oscar Mulero.

The first release Inner Tension 001 called 'Katharsis' signifies the birth of the label and its sound & direction.

Katharsis (from Greek ???a?s??, meaning "purification" or "cleansing" or "clarification") is the purification and purgation of emotions -- through art or any extreme change in emotion that results in renewal and restoration

The 4-track EP contains 3 originals by Blazej himself & great rework by Oscar Mulero. The A1, 'Katharsis' is a classic trippy and deep techno signature from Blazej. A2 follows with a more clubby track 'Behind' with a hint of psychedelic deep techno feeling. B1, 'The End' brings plenty of energy and without a doubt a peak-time flow; uplifting & high hats hitting.

B2, the Mulero remix of 'The End' captures a real twisted yet emotional journey with a long build up and subtle breakdown with a raw finish. More
