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

Ritter Butzke Records proudly presents Bodies Interlace - a striking three-track EP from German producer Carbon, known for his meticulous sound design and deeply driving melodic techno. With over two decades of production experience behind him, Carbon delivers an EP that fuses precision, atmosphere, and pure kinetic force. The title track Bodies Interlace opens the release with a firm, hypnotic grip. Pulsing low-end pressure, shifting melodic fragments, and Carbons signature tension-building structures merge into a track that feels both expansive and intimate. Its a slow-burn ascent, unfolding through evolving layers that lock the floor into a steady, immersive flow. Pump It Up follows with a more immediate, rhythm-forward intensity. Focused on punch, momentum, and club-driven dynamics, the track pushes Carbons heavier side to the forefront. Its tight percussive framework and propulsive bassline create a raw, energetic thrust - a weapon built for peak-time moments. Closing the EP, Andreas Henneberg delivers his interpretation of Bodies Interlace - transforming the original into a crisp, rolling machine. Henneberg amplifies the groove, sharpening the rhythmic architecture while preserving the emotional undertones of Carbons core idea. The result is a remix that feels both respectful and revitalizing. Bodies Interlace EP stands as a refined snapshot of the modern melodic-techno landscape: tense, detailed, and irresistibly forward-moving - a testament to Ritter Butzke Records continued commitment to depth, drive, and high-quality electronic music. Beatport Presale begins December 12, 2025, featuring the early drop of Pump It Up. Full Streaming & Beatport Release lands on December 26, 2025, with all stores following on January 9, 2026.
