#47 Feat. Staff Picks in Techno (Peak Time / Driving)

Involve Records proudly announces the upcoming release, Talkative Tools - a cutting-edge EP by the dynamic duo Blame The Mono. This release stands as a testament to Involve's commitment to pushing the boundaries of electronic music, featuring four tracks that blend intricate sound design, complex drum programming and impressive arrangements with raw energy, tailor-made for the modern dance floor. The EP kicks off with "Pane Smasher," combining dark techno beats with futuristic grooves and soundscapes. The track's unique character is further enhanced by distorted reggae vocal shots, leading to a break dominated by an amen break-based drum and bass rhythm. Keeping the pace up, "Dump The Dealer," an elaborate, detail-rich track that showcases Blame The Mono's mastery in sound design, follows. Driven by a hypnotic vocal loop, the track navigates through gritty, trance-infused basslines before taking an unexpected turn into dubstep, offering dancers a moment to recharge before the high-octane drop. Following suit, "Gold Brick" impresses with elaborate drum work and an array of sounds ranging from piercing sirens to chopped vocals. The track's energy is unrelenting, shifting gears into breakbeat rhythms that keep the adrenaline pumping. "Lotus Eater" closes the EP, dazzling with its colorful arrangement and groovy drum patterns. The presence of a one-shot female vocal, alongside dub-chords, builds a crescendo of tension and energy. The track then plunges into a darker, more mysterious mood with a powerful bassline sequence, culminating in an epic, goosebump-inducing melodic drop.
