Maksim Dark, the Russian producer who burst into people’s consciousness in 2011, drops the first single from his new album 'Insomnia'. Loud Rave encapsulates the album's vibe perfectly - tough, precise techno that hits hard but always has enough space and grace to work the mind as much as the feet. The original is a masterclass in tight programming of tension and release.
The EP features two perfectly pitched remixes from Senso Sounds favourites André Winter and Carlo Ruetz. André Winter’s remix is urgent and tightly wound, with a sick bass line that ultimately breaks into an acidic freakout. Ruetz’s mix is a more stripped down, low slung groove that builds into a fierce, twisted, peak-time burner.
