STAFF SELECTIONS

SELECTS by FRANZ HILBERATH

Tokyo Machine — “MVP”

Tokyo Machine doubles down on his signature chaos with “MVP,” the centerpiece of his new FACTORY RESET EP on Monstercat. Fusing laser-tight synths with snarling vocal hits, the track launches into a ruthless collision of distorted guitar riffs and heavyweight dubstep drops. It’s loud, relentless, and engineered for destruction—perfectly embodying the artist’s evolution from masked enigma to full-blown audio insurgent. With “MVP,” Tokyo Machine cements his status not just as a visual icon, but as one of the most daring sonic architects in the bass scene today.

Provider, MajestyofDivinity — “Let Me In”

“Let Me In” is the first collaboration between Austin-based artists Provider and MajestyofDivinity, delivering a brooding late-night techno cut steeped in tension and restraint. Built around hypnotic rhythms and dub-influenced textures, the track leans into minimalism without losing its physical impact. Vocals echo through the haze with a haunting urgency, channeling the emotional push and pull of wanting closeness but hitting a wall. Rooted in the intimacy of the dancefloor, “Let Me In” explores space as much as sound, letting silence and repetition shape a narrative that is as vulnerable as it is controlled. A compelling debut that thrives on nuance and groove.

BRN — “Mini Skirt”

With “Mini Skirt,” BRN slides into a slicker groove, pulling from the timeless pulse of classic house while keeping everything clean and contemporary.

Subtle vocal chops thread through the mix, adding movement without overcrowding the space. “Mini Skirt” isn’t built to overwhelm—it’s built to last, crafted for selectors who understand restraint and dancefloors that reward finesse.

KAŸ Wagner — “Arise”

“Arise” distills KAŸ Wagner’s sound into its most essential form: precise, unflinching, and surgically minimal. Anchored by a low-end acid groove and stripped-back percussion, the track rejects typical club dramatics for something more deliberate. There is no climax, only a slow and calculated build of tension. Flickers of vocal static cut through the haze, offering just enough friction to keep the pulse alive. It is a masterclass in restraint, engineered for underground floors that prioritize pressure over payoff.
