Italian Giuseppe De Chiara's WarinD moniker is influenced by styles such as hardgroove, acid and distorted techno. He has his own self-titled record label and says he "expresses his own inner war through music". He has been turning out visceral tracks for the last six years on labels like Omen and Tripalium and now blows the dance floor apart with this new EP.
The brilliantly muscular 'Choose You' kicks off with unrelenting drums and hard kicks. It has frosty synths layered up with a loopy spoken word vocal that gets your head in a spin as the drums march on in heavy fashion. 'From Zero To Hero' brings old-school scratching and spinbacks before exploding into a trance-techno groove. It fizzes with retro rave energy as hard drums and bright synth loops keep up the intensity. 'Moon 22' is another turbocharged techno track with video-game-style sound effects and warped synths bringing the interplanetary madness.
Lee-Ann Roberts quickly follows up a remix of OGUZ in August with another one on her now well established label. Her take on 'Moon 22' is another track that places her at the heart of the hard techno revolution with its slamming drums, metallic percussion and monstrous bass all making for a wall of impenetrable sound.
Hard techno doesn't get better than this EP from WarinD.
