Now keep your eyes and ears peeled for an original Hreno! His music is best described when not described. Although it has been likened to an unmanned, deep space, probe droid. Or an unrelenting pony ride at a petting zoo. Experiencing this music is like standing on a rivers edge, or on a vast precipice. Either for the bathtub or a spring mounted dance-floor. Hreno has opened his vaults. Dive into a sonic experience, travel from Country to Country, forget boarders, feel your heart warm up, suddenly you are Completely New. Then Portage to reach the other side and let yourself get lost..

The collecting season leads us to our third episode and, as if Northern winds may threaten the upcoming summer, we request assistance from redoubtable Southern war men. The search has taken us to the Greek region of Thessaly where the mighty tribe of the Magnetes still exercises solid mythological power… From this realm, a line of their descents bring us stories of initiatory and adventurous journeys, full of passionate and unconsidered love, like the one present in the myth of Medea.
As in the story, where extreme joy is followed by pulse, tragedy, vengeance and betrayal, The Magnecian reveals his inner techno instinct just to guide our paths through thunderously dark places filled with grainy drum thrills and shadowy riddims splicing with wide synths washes and cyclic chants. An epic soundtrack.
Starting with "Nostalgia", a perfectly stripped down dub that builds and expands along an eerie melody floating around the groove till, suddenly, interspersed with stomping percussions, the drive of the drum and the bass leads the way to eventually shake the emptiest ground…Turn the wax and you'll be shadowed by ' Your suffering is mine ', a tool crafted to keep things just the way they should, with 909 high hats and percussion bursts waving like blades thrown by our martial autochtone; he exquisitely manages to combine layers of noisy stabs and unfamiliar horn sounds that unravel over the course of a bouncy bassline. Finally "Deleterious", a state of the art broken B2 acid drop, with a roaring and rumbling bassline skillfully displayed with synths and ethereal voices. It establishes a primitive dialogue between sounds, giving a Bristolian feel to this cutting-edged closure.
Far from remaining Statik, we reckon this new self revealed argonaut will threaten the most remote places in our eternally cherished Techno land. Long Live to him!!!

UPC: 827170 5113 6 1 Release : Sept. 02.09.2013
Tracklist : A. Everlasting Roots B1. Îlot Sacré B2. No Glory
An 'Autochthon' In Greek mythology was a child born directly from the land, without the intervention of any parents. Today the term is used in the fields of Ethnology and Biology defining 'local', 'indigenous' or simply 'originary from'... As rough as beautiful, the Autochtone figure invites us to wonder on the sum and substance of life. He offers us an excursion into untouched sanctuaries, dream areas where music and dance recall sudden flashes of primal recollection. Unchained, he teaches us to explore forms, rhythms, balances and shades. From his everlasting roots, we extract the essence to draw our vinyl grooves, developing a playground of audio promenades around the tones of repeated electronic dance gatherings. For this very first release, us Autochtones deliver some cut-up drums with an odd melody, shaping a long 45'er : an edgy overture for igniting the night. On the flip side , a primitive, sparse and hypnotic piece module a combination of an acid bassline with early techno reminiscence pads. Finally, the B2 honours are made out of a dense and industrially rooted roller, including an undertaker voice and some dazzling snare drums, bringing it to the more 'techy' cut of the record. But Autochtone is about gatherings, so we will be joined in the path by sons of further corners of this metaphysical land we all call 'TECHNO'.
