Darko Esser returns with two powerful, finely crafted techno pieces on the eighth installment of his Trip series, ‘Eighth Trip’ his first release since 2015.

‘Untitled #15′ drives forward with sullen aggression; eerie morphing synths gaining strength and swaying atop aggravated deep-hitting drums, all constantly meandering in space and energy.

On the flip side ‘Untitled #16′ is forged with less aggression, but just as much tension; a morose cowbell sounds, offset from a moody drum pattern that beats beneath an extra-terrestrial synth, creeping, and probing, throughout the whole piece.

Altogether ‘Eighth Trip’ is yet another rich-sounding release from a champion of the darker, deeper realms of techno.
