Review: Victor Ruiz's VOLTA imprint continues its 2024 momentum with a stellar release from a techno dream team: label boss Ruiz himself and the acclaimed Brazilian DJ/Producer Wehbba. Their "Stand" EP delivers a potent blend of melodic techno with stadium-sized energy, guaranteed to move bodies and stir emotions. The title track, "Stand," wastes no time launching into a pulsating rhythm, layered with intricate and evolving acid lines and analog textures. The track builds and dips, weaving in expansive soundscapes, captivating vocals, and spine-tingling crescendos. Following is "Silo", bringing "boom" in a big way. Thumping kicks and subtle percussion drive the track forward, underpinned by hollowed-out sub-bass and melancholic arps.The off-beat shuffle keeps things interesting throughout, making for a perfect closing to the EP. Expertly crafted, powerful grooves,motive melodies and infectious energy!
Review: Closing out an exceptional year and fortifying their status as a premier hub for groundbreaking techno music, VOLTA impressively maintains its momentum, drawing in a continuous stream of global talent. In the wake of their August release, the Human Robot EP, label head Victor Ruiz and collaborator Alex Stein return with the enthralling New Generation - a special single format that adds another compelling chapter to the VOLTA catalog. A contemporary reinterpretation of their 2012 classic "Generation" - this track embodies a swift, off-beat techno style infused with robotic nuances and acidic tones. The familiar, iconic vocals retain their gripping allure, showcasing a seamless blend of commanding, propulsive percussion and captivating musical depth. With its coarse sonics and rugged soundscapes, New Generation emerges as an eerily futuristic techno piece, skillfully breathing new life into a timeless track while preserving its original message and energy.
