Fuga V, a double pack from Belgium's Token Records, presents a collection of eight tracks that delve into the more granular and hypnotic side of techno. This release steers away from mainstream sounds, embracing a minimalistic and percussive approach that caters to the underground scene. The selection opens with 'Partenope' by Singular Anomalies, a track that draws listeners into a hypnotic, sci-fi-inspired journey. Ketch's 'Whispers' continues with a tribal groove that pulsates with energy, while Justyn Nell's 'Amaranth' delivers a cool techno cut, brimming with intensity. Maasym's 'Intermediate Direction' offers a dynamic rhythm, plunging into subterranean depths, creating an out of this world experience. On the flip side, Ray Kajioka's 'Black Hole' adds a touch of mystery, with its outer space vibes and lush string work. Kameliia's 'Point Of View' adds its own flair, but the collaboration between Kashpitzky & Casual Treatment on 'Diffusion' stands out with its harder, snappy electro beats, echoing the style of Cari Lekebusch. Fuga V is an essential pick for those seeking deeper, more intricate techno grooves.
