Through his "Artificial Ecstatic" EP, Ma Haiping delivers three original tracks that dig deep into the hypnotic and cerebral world of techno. While all are dance-floor ready, they also make excellent tools for any DJ’s arsenal.
“Artificial Void” is an exercise that focuses on tempo and high-intensity through loops and percussion repetitions.
“Artificial Sadness” is a slower affair, ideal for the deeper portions of a DJ set or as a tool to be layered for peak-time play.
Title track “Articial Ecstatic” is techno hypnosis at its finest, providing high-tempo weaponry sure to captivate any dance floor
Secus remixes the title track taking it into deeper territory and making it truly his own, at the same time providing a perfect tool for the earlier or later hours of a DJ performance.
With Ecilo at the A&R helm, as well as two of Los Angeles’s most revered underground brands, SIX AM and Synthetik Minds, spearheading its mission, Synthetik Sounds is now an established home for artists whose sound remains true to the ethos of underground techno.
The imprint’s first four outings, Protech The Skyline by Ecilo, Rooted In Reality by Stephen Disario, Saudade by Annika Wolfe and The Plug Formation from The Advent clearly underscored the intention of the label: to provide a platform for artists whose output leans both on deep, hypnotic techno as well as darker, and harder shades of the genre, while also building bridges between North America, Europe, Asia and beyond. Adding The Advent to our roster, we have officially hit the three major continents we had set out to connect and build using music as the bridge to bring artists closer together in the global community.
