For this new release we are happy to welcome Bateko to our Say What? family who brings us directly into darker, stripped-back territory, delivering a raw 4-tracker that captures the grit and immediacy of warehouse techno. Built around relentless grooves and hypnotic repetition, this record is designed for dancefloors that thrive on pressure and intensity.

The title track 'Torn' sets the tone with jagged percussion, rolling synth textures, and a relentless pulse that never lets up. It’s a cut that tears straight into the subconscious, blurring the line between control and chaos.

'Rode Beat' injects a raw funk into the EP, a rolling groove that balances stripped-down percussion with a hypnotic undercurrent. Minimal yet powerful, it’s the kind of track that creeps up on you and then refuses to let go.

'Guitar Hero' adds a left-field touch, weaving distorted guitar stabs into a pounding techno framework. It’s unconventional, gritty, and unmistakably Bateko — a track that hints at punk energy while remaining firmly rooted in techno’s raw foundations.

Closing the release with 'PT' Bateko pushes forward with a more mechanical drive — tight, looping drum work, subtle shifts in rhythm, and industrial edges that keep the tension locked tight. The EP delivers a statement of intent: uncompromising, floor-focused techno that thrives on tension, grit, and pure energy.

Enjoy
