To celebrate the release of his latest record ‘Capsule’ on Kolibri Space Shuttle, PETRU KSS steps into the spotlight with a new Prima Lux mix, offering a deep and considered journey through the enduring language of minimal techno.
Once regarded as the defining sound of the underground, minimal techno never truly disappeared — it simply evolved. This mix traces that lineage with intention, pairing emblematic tracks from minimal’s first wave alongside contemporary productions that reinterpret its core principles: restraint, tension, groove, and space. Rather than leaning into nostalgia, PETRU KSS focuses on continuity, showing how minimal’s DNA remains deeply embedded in modern techno.
The selection unfolds with precision and patience, allowing subtle shifts in rhythm and texture to do the heavy lifting. Groove emerges not through excess, but through control; tension builds in the negative space; and each transition feels deliberate, functional, and deeply connected to the dancefloor. It’s a reminder that minimal was never a passing trend, but a durable aesthetic that continues to resurface across different eras and scenes.
As today’s techno landscape gradually moves away from overload and back toward depth and focus, minimal’s influence feels more relevant than ever — not as a revival, but as a reactivation. PETRU KSS captures this moment perfectly, curating a mix that feels timeless, grounded, and sharply tuned to the present.
PETRU KSS’ mix stands as both a statement and a celebration: of minimal’s lasting impact, and of ‘Capsule’, a release that aligns seamlessly with this philosophy — concise, purposeful, and built for listeners who value subtlety as power.
