Releasenotes:
French talent Hyden makes label debut on Mutual Rytm with conceptual new
techno EP, æTo Whom It May ConcernÆ.
Hyden is a potent force in the French underground, creating powerful
techno with dense percussion, immersive grooves and subtle nods to classic
influences ù all through his own unique lens. Having delivered standout
releases in recent years, here he offers up sounds ôanchored in
psychoanalysis, time, and emotional residueö as he makes his mark on
SHDWÆs Mutual Rytm imprint, delivering influences of dream logic and
surrealism as the palette moves between brutality and introspection. ôItÆs
hypnotic music for moments of rupture where something breaks or breaks
throughö.
Opener æManifest ContentÆ is inspired by Freudian theory and explores the
surface illusions of thought and dream. It's about the dissonance between
what we perceive and the deeper meaning that slips away beneath and is a
deep and dubby techno track with flashes of unsettling melody. æBruisesÆ
is emotional trauma made sonic. This piece delves into invisible scars and
traumas, residues of past conflict or intimacy - it's slow-burning, heavy
and raw. æJikanÆ is a meditation built on time and its erosion. Inspired
by the Japanese concept of impermanence, it reflects fleeting moments,
decay and the tension between stillness and motion with jacked up but warm
drums and turbulent bass.
Next, æFree WillÆ is born from inner conflict and plays with deterministic
rhythms and evolving layers, questioning whether we are truly in control
or just passengers in a prewritten sequence. The vocal mentions,
ôcreatures, youÆre out of timeö to bring darkness to the intense but sleek
rhythms. The streamlined physicality of æSwarmÆ channels the primal force
of collective movement and is a nod to the loss of individuality in group
behaviour.
In addition, the package is loaded with digital bonus cuts. æYumeharaÆ is
a dive into surreal dream-states and evokes subconscious landscapes where
logic dissolves and emotion reigns, while æLu BuÆ is brutal and warlike
and named after the legendary Chinese general that captures impulsive
violence, betrayal and reckless glory with relentless energy and rhythm.
Lastly, æNeon PaleÆ is a synthetic dreamscape about fading beauty under
artificial light - a melancholy ode to cities at night and the loss of
warmth in modern life.
