Gravitational Forces is a new underground techno label from CMPND (BE) in Belgium, and has previously featured artists such as Joton, Amine Kohb, PS11, and Dorbachov.
Belgian-based K-Deey is an experienced veteran with a longstanding production back catalogue, and his new EP titled ‘Awake’ follows contributions to labels like Marco Bailey’s MATERIA, Arnaud Le Texier’s Children of Tomorrow, A.Paul’s Naked Lunch, and Paula Cazenave’s Combine Audio.
The first remixer Marc Faenger is a German artist with appearances on top labels like Pfirter’s MindTrip, Luigi Madonna’s Contempo, Oliver Rosemann’s Nachtstrom Schallplatten, DifferentSound, amongst others.
Label head CMPND (BE) completes the remixes, and he is an ascending Belgian artist with music on ORKS imprint and Void Rhythm, while he has been absorbing the illustrious nightlife scene for over 20 years to become a revered DJ, drawing on influences from many native pioneers.
Opening with “Awake,” it has a raw, pumping groove with jackin’ claps and twisted melody that’s full of energy.
“Pay Day” continues the powerful aesthetic, with a throbbing bassline and dystopian textures of introspection.
Marc Faenger turns up the heat and tension on his remix of “Pay Day” with a darker and more cerebral trip into the outer realms of mechanical atmospherics.
“Ring Twice” has a focus on stabbing chords and old-school flavour of punchy rhythms and relentless fervour.
CMPND (BE)’s rework of “Ring Twice” strips things down to a spaced-out and hypnotic ride that later lifts the intensity and adds an eerie feeling from melancholic tones.
“Mistral” closes out the release with its ruthless, percussive workout and uncompromising values that are pristine for any abiding dance floor.
