Get it here: found.ee/CROWDX001 CROWD proudly announces the launch
of its digital VA series CROWDX. Inaugurated by the first chapter
'Shared Pulse', this release brings together a cross-section of
artists that embody the label's vision. Curated by FJAAK and Elli
Acula, the Berlin-based imprint has carved out a space where old
school and modern techno meet, united by a groovy, driving and
uncompromising sound. Opening the release, Colombia's RUIZ OSC1
sets the tone with a hypnotic, polyrhythmic roller, before Elli
Acula follows with a low-end driven cut, weaving her trippy spoken
word vocals through hypnotic grooves, balancing emotional depth
with relentless drive. Greek producer ANNĒ builds tension through
kick and tom grooves beneath a droning synth break, and FJAAK's
'Scanline' showcases the duo's unmistakable approach, combining
swinging percussion, driving chord stabs and endlessly echoing
synth work. Techno legends Slam then strip things back, proving
once again that a handful of perfectly chosen elements can deliver
maximum impact. Sol Ortega brings an urgent, tom-led groove with
racing chords, before Colin Benders delivers what might be the most
visceral moment on the record: a barrage of distorted analog synths
and crashing percussion that channels the intensity of his live
performances. J Choirboy shifts the mood with a deeper, dub-infused
excursion built around expansive dub chords and rich low-end
weight, DEAS raises the tension again with eerie atmospheres,
rolling basslines and fast-moving synth sequences, and Ferdinger
closes the release with classic techno chords looping over a
rolling shaker groove pushing the record to the finish line.
CROWDX001 captures the full spectrum of contemporary techno across
ten tracks that showcase techno's many shades without losing sight
of its roots, perfectly summing up the vision of the Berlin-based
label and sharing a common pulse.
