Release Note ......::
German based duo Hidden Empire are swiftly making progression in their climb to
the top of the techno scene. They're known from several hit releases on Stil
vor Talent and Traum Schallplatten. We are gleesome to open the doors of Filth
on Acid and welcome them for a 3 track original EP. On remix duties we gladly
find Egbert, the Dutch powerhouse of peak-time techno, who's currently
releasing on Drumcode.
Twilight Of The Gods opens with Baldur. The authoritative, round kick and
bassline build a colossal foundation on which propulsive arpeggiators shift
things into next gear. A sturdy, polished groove ensures movement on the
dancefloor. The atmospherics and hornlike shout of Baldur, hint to the
unfortunate fate of this mythological creature as well as building pleasant
pressure.
Mjolnir, the hammer of Thor, stays true to its name, as it is a definite
peak-time affair. Long stretched swelling, bassy pads are the backbone for
reverberated percussion and dapper synth stabs. Memorable synth melodies unfold
on the break to balance force and profoundness.
Bragi can be seen as the most hypnotic of the pack. Arpeggiated synths, soft
pads and detailed synths hint to the abstruse nature of Bragi; the god of
poets. Smart drum programming keeps the track in ever morphing state.
We close the EP in style, with Egbert's remix of Bragi. As an artist, always on
the lookout of new ways to detonate party crowds, this time he derives a groove
with qualities of cavalry. Throughout the track the kick, bassline and drums
continuously exert and exchange powers, which makes it sound like a constant
battle as to where in the groove they can sit. This unique element builds an
enormous strain. Combined with the beautiful break; again Egbert's music
arrives at the next level.
