Fleeting Dreams – Mutual Rytm 40

Berlin dreamy techno artist SLV returns to the Mutual Rytm label for another commanding EP, fusing raw analogue power and emotional precision to show why he remains one of Italy’s most distinctive techno voices. Overall, his 16th EP under the name, SLV produces a balance between club focus and listening techno, man-made machine music if you will. ‘Fading Moments’ opens the record with euphoric poise, its buried vocal cries conjure echoes of classic house while remaining a true techno spirit. ‘Scenario’ then channels the icy pulse of SLV’s Soma era, driven by strong synth work that keeps the floor in suspense. On the flip, ‘Daruma’ ventures into darker territory while the closer, ‘Shimmer’, is expansive and pure textural mastery of the genre. Together, these cuts form a high-class tour de force of contemporary techno, emotionally technically refined and perfect for the mind and body experience of the dancefloor.
