Voltage presents "SAY TAN", a 4tracker by Argentinean up and coming producer Ignacio Arfeli, created to bring mayhem to the dance floor. 

Ignacio Arfeli, (Phobiq, Orange, Funk'n Deep, IAMT) was definitely on our watch list for quite some time. His productions are solid, original and dark, three distinctive characteristics that VOLTAGE stands for. 

His latest work, Say Tan EP is consisted of four tracks, all bringing a pure techno groove to the foreground. Filled with intelligent vocal shots, intense harmonic elements, chords and punchy bass, this EP is a weapon to every real DJ's armoury. 

This release is not to be missed!

This is VOLTAGE. This is techno, redefined.

Voltage presents “Objects in Cosmos”, a... fearless 3-tracker by ANNA V. & Frank Kvitta, created to bring chaos on the dance floor.

ANNA V. (Elevate, Funk’n Deep, Respekt) in collaboration with Amsterdam based Frank Kvitta (Suara, Phobiq, Pornographic) really went crazy on this one. Trance, progressive, dark Techno vibes and big audio elements combine for these 3 originals to create an unparalleled EP destined to play after 3 AM.

'This is not for everyone' ANNA V. says, when asked about her latest collaboration with Frank Kvitta, recognising the fact that this EP is made of a mixture of different elements, very far away from a 'mainstream' techno release.

Frank is always inventive with his music and this EP proves it. Great seqs and punchy synth lines, groove percussions and charismatic arrangements are his trademark and this couldn't be absent from these originals.

Elements of rave, earthquake-like kick drums, huge bass lines and trancy scent, this is a release created for large audiences. Consisted of pure techno groove and brilliantly evolving synths, all tracks are equally. crazy and different enough; they could be easily played back to back within the same set.

This is VOLTAGE. This is techno, redefined.

ONE THOUSAND VOLTS

BY KOSTAS MASKALIDES, RELEASES OCTOBER 30th

“One Thousand Volts, Maskalides’ floor pumping EP releases on VOLTAGE, with 2 blasting remixes from ANNA V. and UAKOZ”

Kostas Maskalides (Phobiq, Funk’n Deep, Riot, AnalyticTrail) is no stranger to dark grooves. His latest work on Phobiq, “Furnace” charted in Techno Top 30, was no surprise. The Belgium based Greek Maestro’s music is distinctive and unparalleled and so is his latest release on VOLTAGE.

Consisting of two tracks and two remixes, Maskalides this time goes purely main room, creating a festival-like EP, absolutely referring to big crowds. One Thousand Volts is made by a relentless dark groove with acid elements and a pure techno baseline, resulting in big drops that will test the performance and stamina of any sound system.

ANNA V. (Elevate / Funk'n Deep / Stick Recordings) remix is approaching the original in a completely different way. Atmospheric, and fast, with solid and crystal-clear drums, enriched with vintage synths and big chords. ANNA adds melody and transforms the track, making it a pure after hour tune destined to rock the floor with its unparalleled “full on” drops.

Second track of the EP, “Bitter Kiss Goodnight” is a tribute to the 90’s. Huge chord synthesis’ and buildups for the records, combined with classic bass sounds and contemporary techno groove, it is a track that creates an uplifting and massive atmosphere. Clearly one of Maskalides’ best works so far.

Last track of the release is made from rising Italian producer UAKOZ (Terminal - M/ Elevate/ OFF Recordings/ Respekt).His approach for “Bitter Kiss Goodnight” is jaw-dropping. This is a pumped up remix of the original with a darker and heavier scent, perfectly adapted to the Italian’s personal style and an amazing respect to the original track.
