'Next up on Kuukou is 2 cuts of nosebleed Hardstyle from auspicious producer Teocino. Based in Basel in Switzerland, Teocino works to occupy the sonic space between Techno and Trance, distilling the raw components of each genre into their most powerful and potent forms. The result is an uncompromising sound that's equal parts bullish and buoyant with sufficient pace to keep the floor on their tip toes. 'Kodada' showcases this artistic process neatly, kicking off with the title track. A full spectrum kick hammers underneath a barbed braid of white-hot synth stabs and a serrated acid line. Playful vocals bleed in across a pause-for-breath before the hammer drops again with floor- rupturing power. 'Techno Knocking At Your Door' follows up with a boiling Trance bass line rippling under tight, shuffling drums. Bold vocals rub shoulders with blistering melodies and the result is a sound big enough in scale to melt thousands-strong crowds across warehouse and festival spaces. This is Teocino doing Teocino - high-definition dance tracks designed to cause havoc. Brace yourself!'
