Codex Empire - "Sevde" - (10:09)
132 BPM Marmo - "Alchimia" - (12:14) 130 BPM
Review: Codex Empire's wingspan tech has been a glorious new entry into the techno sphere, as of late, and we have welcomed his output for aufnahme + wiedergabe with open arms. This week, he appears alongside Marmo with a heavy EP for the sublime Khemia label, an imprint which has taken 2016 by storm with a series of magnetic releases from artists like In Aeternam Vale, Rrose, and Volte-Face, a Junodownload favourite. The former's tune "Sevde" is a veritable steam-roller of a tune, banging its bumpy drums away helter-skelter, and accompanied by dark, brooding industrial sonics, while Marmo's "Alchimia" is more distorted, more deeply intertwined in its various percussive webs, but still of the same calibre as Codex Empire's tune. Two menacing techno killers with a simple yet effective vision.
