DESIGN_ Records proudly presents 'Hacko EP', the latest release from Pardalize, landing on August 1st, 2025. Known for his gritty, hypnotic grooves, Pardalize returns with an original that dives deep into minimalistic tech house, accompanied by two standout remixes from UMPR and Ryan Taft - each offering their own distinctive spin on the underground anthem.

'Hacko (Original Mix)' is a hypnotic tech house journey rooted in minimalism and raw, underground energy. Built around a chopped, enigmatic vocal, the track explores the feeling of being misunderstood - operating beneath the surface while something deeper simmers underneath. Glitchy textures meet groove-heavy drums and subtle tension, creating a late-night atmosphere that keeps the dance floor fully locked in. With its immersive progression and nuanced transitions, this is a track for the heads: eyes closed, bodies moving, and minds wandering.

UMPR flips 'Hacko' into a stripped-back tech house weapon - a nod to the PAWSA's school of production. Chunky drums, deep basslines, and tight percussive swings bring out a rolling groove that's perfect for peak-time sets. The vocal is reimagined into a more playful hook, looping in sync with the hypnotic bounce and rhythmic tension that define the remix.

Ryan Taft delivers a stark contrast with his remix, injecting a heavier, driving bassline that anchors the track. Modulating elements from the original, he crafts a sassier, raw groove that adds a new edge to 'Hacko'. The result is a remix that leans into energy and impact, while still respecting the minimalistic DNA of the original.

'Hacko EP' showcases Pardalize's ever-evolving sound while highlighting the remix talents of UMPR and Ryan Taft. A release built for dark rooms and heavy systems; it affirms DESIGN_ Records' continued focus on cutting-edge, groove-driven electronic music.
