Dutch producer Melvin Spix returns to Say What? with a hypnotic and unfiltered statement in the form of 'Trippy Journey' — a four-track dive into raw techno's darker, more cerebral edges. The title track, 'Trippy Journey', sets the tone immediately: rolling low-end pressure, swirling textures, and a subtle sense of disorientation that pulls you deeper with every bar. It's not about instant impact — it's about the slow burn. 'Stone Essen' follows with a more grounded, industrial weight. Metallic grooves and stripped-back percussion create a relentless drive, built for late-night floors where time starts to blur. On 'Flashing Lights', Spix leans into tension and release. Pulsating rhythms collide with flickering synth stabs, creating a hypnotic push-pull that keeps the energy locked and unpredictable. Closing the EP, 'Confused Matters' lives up to its name — a twisted, mind-bending cut where fragmented elements and evolving patterns create a controlled chaos, leaving just enough space for interpretation. 'Trippy Journey' is exactly what it promises: a deep, immersive ride through raw techno's more psychedelic corners, crafted for those who prefer their dancefloor experience a little less straightforward.
