#32 Feat. Staff Picks in Hard Techno

STØK Recordings presents Become Valiant, a powerful back-to-back hardtechno assault from ARRISHA and MarAxe. Ukrainian-born, Latvia-based producer ARRISHA steps onto the label for the first time, delivering a decisive debut that showcases her raw energy, precise sound design, and rising signature within the hardtechno sphere. Her contribution to the EP is a fierce, driving weapon built for peak-time impact - a statement of intent from an artist rapidly carving out her space. On the flip, STØK founder and Swedish techno connoisseur MarAxe fires back with a hardgroove infused crusher. Known for blending oldschool grit with modern pressure, MarAxe brings his trademark momentum: rolling percussion, heavy funk, and relentless propulsion. Together, Become Valiant forms a dual strike — two distinct voices meeting in a shared dedication to unapologetic, high-octane techno. A back-to-back release that bridges backgrounds, cities, and influences while staying laser-focused on the dancefloor! Enjoy!
