Uto Karem is a stalwart of the Italian techno scene and is widely regarded throughout the genre for his tracks that blend compelling synth hooks with explosive percussion. Along with many releases on his own Agile Recordings, other labels to have released music by Uto Karem range from Christian Smith’s Tronic and Dubfire’s SCI+TEC to Plus 8, which is a classic label run by Richie Hawtin.

This time Uto Karem is back on his own label with a new EP featuring three original tracks in his trademark style of charismatic techno. ‘Broken Sitar’ opens proceedings with its pulsating rhythms fuelled by fast flowing percussion. With a sensual female vocal adding comforting tones to the otherwise breakneck energy, the track’s defining feature is its brooding atmosphere cut by a sitar sample and washed in delay. Second is ‘Rave Zero9’ and the building tension of its pads combined dramatic bursts that only add to the intensity. With waves of tidal force, the tracks nonstop structure twists and turns to ensure no one is leaving the dance floor during this captivating roller coaster ride. Last of the tracks is ‘Saturn’ which has a call and response style lead synth that gradually unfolds into euphoria with menacing undertones. Epic and radiating heat, this cut fuses contrasting moods that provoke emotion, alongside capturing the imagination of those lucky enough to hear it on a club sound system. You can listen to the full premiere of ‘Broken Sitar’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy !
