Codex Recordings kicks off the 2026 season with a high-octane collaboration that brings together label boss Spartaque and the rising force of the underground, Paula van Klar. Their joint single, "NOX," is a formidable addition to the label's esteemed catalog, setting a dark and driving tone for the year ahead.
"NOX" is a masterclass in peak-time techno, seamlessly blending Spartaque's signature industrial precision with Paula van Klar's atmospheric and immersive sound design. The track is anchored by a relentless, heavy-hitting kick and a rolling bassline, while haunting, ethereal vocal layers weave through the arrangement to add a layer of chilling sophistication.
Capturing the raw energy of the night—true to its Latin name—"NOX" is designed for the strobe-lit intensity of the world's most demanding dancefloors. As both artists continue to influence the global techno landscape, this collaboration stands as a testament to their shared vision of powerful, vocal-driven electronic music.
Paula van Klar & Spartaque – "NOX" will be available on all major platforms and Beatport on January 9, 2026.
