2026 kicks off with a fresh tech house release: Time Is Up captivates with a memorable rhythm pattern that rolls along in symbiosis with various percussion instruments. Sparingly instrumented old-school synth sounds add the necessary splashes of color.
Behind Dunes was created during a one-week stay at the North Sea. The Dutch dune landscape and daily walks by the sea provided more than enough inspiration for this deep house EP.
A defining string quartet figure carries the title track, surrounded by a wave-like synth pad. Driftwood features a laid-back percussion groove accompanied by a dreamy synth line halfway through the track.
Shoreline is characterized by jazzy synth chords which flow over a compelling bass figure. Rough Sea is driven by its gnarled bass line, contrasted with lush chords that weave through the scenery.
Underneath defies musical categorization but offers a catchy groove. Is it deep house? Jazz house? In any case, the piece is marked by a melancholic atmosphere and features an unconventional soulful guitar solo in the middle.
Rest In Yourself is a rhythmic collage of acoustic sound snippets accompanied by a light and airy groove. The track exudes a positive melancholic mood.
Word is driven by an edgy bassline, over which various vocal effects are unleashed. An hypnotic arpeggio adds further tension to this trippy tech house track.
Texture develops over a rolling tom tom groove and captivates the listener with question-and-answer sounds.
