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 æLⁿ 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.
