V/A 002: “Unremarkable Gaiety”:

1. -Surrealich begins the V/A 002 with an artistic piece that feels like the eternal pause of the present. This ambient adventure, called "Explora", whispers mystery and invites you to close your eyes, with its enigmatic winds and sharp echoes. With this track, a story begins that seems to have no end, an encounter of oneself in an abstract hallucination.

2. The following track, "Triptamine" by Human Machines, is a small step to an evolutionary and subtle climax of bodily understanding, which in its first notes seems to want to show details of a new universe. Minute by minute, this journey incites you, moves you, and puts you back in your place, without being the same.

3. Then, Carl OG opens the dancefloor's curtain with the mechanised loops, of "Only This and Nothing More". As the track progresses, you hear more and more variations of the cheeky play that can be created with the subtlety and the love of noise.

4. Waldymoto takes over and delivers energy with "Linear Thoughts". Smile, let yourself be carried away in a spiral of sonic captivation. The groove and rhythm suggest a daring composition that will suit any dance lover.

5. On the fifth track, the break comes. Maxim Bogdanovic, in "Parallelprozess", hypnotises the speaker and busts the rhythm with an evolving and intense track in its cyclical development. Uroboro of perfect red and black colours in the form of transition.

6. Ancient Alien resumes the 4x4 with "Eternal Time Out". Again, the loops take control of the booth with a mental track that, in its progression, creates the fine climate of delirium that genre enthusiasts love.

7. Next track, Nicolas Vogler with "Late Nite Drive". In harmony with the previous track, this producer continues the musical discourse with a soft techno stomp that, in its repetition, seems to have a clear message: You can be intense with minimalism.

8. The bpm increases and the loop gets harder. CSILLA, with "Admonition", decides to dare with this consistent groove piece. This is one of those tracks that we like so much on the dancefloor, that make you dance and sweat unconsciously.

9. Energy, energy! Rodent's groove is here, with the track "La Boca del Lobo". Move your feet, shake your head, and flow with the minimalist and compact sound of his production. Gradually, you'll feel the temperature rise in the atmosphere with this roller coaster.

10. Next, RSTN with "Infused" proposes a hip-shaking groove perspective to continue the V/A. Fast tempo and relentless vibes that will fascinate any addict of the genre. Fresh and consistent, no more needs to be said.

11. Inhale, exhale and get ready. Retter, with "Tren de Guerra", proposes a powerful beat that increases and increases, bordering on sonic psychosis. A dystopian world lurks in this polished roughness of dark aesthetics.


12. The next chapter of this chronicle is called "Gasoline" by NPoint_O. The atmosphere quiets and breaks down with a composition of mechanical sounds that appears, disappears and deliriums with the break’s magic. An odyssey that screams the colours of Berlin, this time in flames.


13. In the end, Fase023 drops "Dios Sabe Cuando Habrá Otro Verano". The futurism of the past closes the VA/002, with a track that envelops you and leaves you with the sweet taste of electronic climax. Timeless electro and addictive melodies to close this journey of unanswered questions.
