“Agotamiento” – monotropa.

Agotamiento – Exhaustion. Burnout. Born out of a time of struggle, Agotamiento is an expression of anger, of defied boundaries, of running on empty for far too long. Restrained and restricted, the track opens with a stiff kick and driving percussion, slowly building tension. The break creates a clearing of space as the lead cautiously arrives after an arduous journey filled with failed attempts to completely open up. The melody takes shape and is finally unleashed after the drop – unrestricted and raw in its declaration of freedom.

Socorro – Spanish for help, Socorro represents overcoming struggle. Starting with an almost playful percussive rhythm, the track quickly evolves with the help of heavy synthesizers, hand drums, and percussion that push it forward to the second act. Flutes and airy sounds provide the break and leave a sense of quiet before the heavy drop with an ominous lead sound; a call to action and catalyst for movement.

Inspired by the deep restrain, tense melodies, and exquisite synth-work of the Berlin deep house and techno scene as well as percussion informed by rhythms from south of the equator, this release blends organic and electronic sounds to open listeners up to deep and connective states.
