UMEK’s record label 1605 presents the latest in its ‘Desiderati 4’ various artist series, and this latest four-track EP features solo tracks by NoNameLeft, Beico and AKKI (DE), plus a collaboration between UMEK and Elakto.

‘Universe’ by UMEK and Elakto opens the release with a hard-hitting groove that’s underpinned by a monstrous bassline and lead by a compelling vocal. Elakto debuts on 1605 after previous releases on labels including The YellowHeads’ Reload, and UMEK needs little introduction as one of techno’s most iconic artists.

NoNameLeft are a duo from Budapest in Hungary, and they join 1605 after featuring on other noteworthy imprints such as the Cosmic Boys’ Legend and Mark Reeve’s SubVision. Their track ‘Price To Pay’ is a stripped back cut with a powerful kick drum, menacing bassline and captivating vocal.

Beico is back for his fourth 1605 appearance on the record label, but is well-known through the techno world for also featuring music on other scene leading imprints such as Monika Kruse’s Terminal M and Spektre’s Respekt. His track ‘Irradiant’ is trademark to his style with its twisted euphoria and driving percussion.

AKKI (DE) is a German artist from Frankfurt and he debuts on 1605 following solo tracks on labels like Spartaque’s Codex plus top-selling collaborations with the likes of the Cosmic Boys. He closes out the release with his track ‘Move My Body’ which has an uplifting lead synth layered with a grinding bassline and pounding kick drum.

You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘Universe’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
