Rotterdam – Belfast EP part 1 – Psycatron & Secret Cinema

Rotterdam – Belfast EP part 1 is the result of two day studio session with Secret Cinema in Psycatron’s Belfast based studio. Two days of playing around with synths, recording everything that goes on and cutting and pasting it all into a big fat sounding project. The result was three absolutely banging tracks with a unique sound. Proper gems…

Two of those tracks can be found on Gem Records. The third will be released on Psycatron’s own Inflyte Records towards the end of June as Rotterdam – Belfast EP part 2. The introduction of another quality techno label to the scene is very welcome!

“Toy Soldiers” is best described as banging Detroit techno with lots of melody and lots of drive. The bright yet warm synths are a contrast to the heavy pumping kick and quirky sound effects. You’ve got to love this track’s uniqueness. “Nova-K” is more of a hypnotizing groove that features a mysterious sounding arpeggiator and a spacey soundscape over a funky rhythm and bassline. Both tracks are equipped with the tools to create some quality dance floor insanity. Buy on beatport or sample below
