Auguria EP – Mitsubasa 23

Buenos Aires-based heavyweight producer Sol Ortega delivers a four-track statement that balances melodic clarity with serious low-end intent. ‘Colmena’ opens in buoyant form, its flickering motifs catching light as the groove locks in and before ‘Auguria’ deepens the palette with broader pads that feel reflective. There’s a sense of forward motion throughout, optimism carried on carefully weighted drums. On the B-side, ‘Criteria’ settles into a steady techno roll, built from looping figures that evolve with quiet assurance, while ‘Fluvia’ mirrors that drive, keeping the pressure firm as subtle melodic shifts colour the surface. Dub weight and Detroit discipline sit close to the core, anchoring the record without flattening its mood. It’s confident, finely judged techno that understands how to lift a room while keeping its footing on solid ground.
