Review: Label boss Pfirter hooks up with Artur Moreira aka N?rbak for this relentless release. "Life Happens Twice" is based on a frazzled, throbbing rhythm, but the pair also make space for ethereal vocals amid the firing percussion. There's a similar approach on "Truth of Existence", with Pfirter and N?rbak putting a focus on rough but direct grooves, and they up the intensity levels for "Questionable Concept of Freedom". While inspired by dub techno sound design, the militaristic, steely rhythm and relentless arranging mean it is especially impactful. Closing out the release is "Conquer Fear", where the MindTrip owner and N?rbak again harness the power of the cavernous aesthetic to drop a turbo-charged, linear banger.

Review: Norbak aka Artur Moreira has already released on sister label Warm Up, and he makes his debut on MindTrip with a fittingly dark and alluring EP. It opens with the skeletal, stepping "Frente", which is engulfed in eerie textures, before picking up the pace for the snaking, club-friendly groove of "Occino". On "Parasite", he further ups the ante with a tough, driving techno groove that's underpinned by razor-sharp percussion and deliciously hypnotic drones. Rounding off this darkly hypnotic affair is the title track, a peak time banger, with visceral kicks underpinning noisy electronic swirls and bursts of militaristic percussion.

Review: The fourth instalment in MindTrip's Mutable Minds series gets off to a hypnotic start as cold tones unravel over a sleek metallic rhythm on Translate & Pulso's "Moriarty". Kike Pravda's "Heat" is much more visceral, with wave upon wave of noisy electronics paired up with a barrelling, murky groove. Changing tact and shifting tempo again is Norbak's "Avadhuta"; while spacey filters lend the arrangement a cavernous feeling, there is no mistaking the power of its driving, steely drums and percussion. Vohkinne's "Active Radio" is in many ways, the most conventional track, but its rolling, loopy groove benefits from the type of tripped out hypnotic layers that have become MindTrip's stock in trade.
