#7 Feat. Banner in Techno (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic)

Belgian duo Pulse.ar drop their debut EP Storyteller on Say What?. Hypnotic grooves and raw sound design are key in this release, Pulse.ar craft five deep, rolling cuts that merge emotional tension with relentless energy, showing their unmistakable command of the modern techno spectrum. The title track opens the journey with hypnotic precision — a rolling, analog-fueled groove layered with evolving percussive details and subtle atmospheres. It feels like a story told through rhythm rather than words, where every modulation and filter sweep becomes part of an emotional progression. Its the kind of track that locks a dancefloor in motion while drawing the listener inward, setting the tone for whats to come. On Dagga, tribal elements emerge with a heavier rhythmic swing and smoky atmosphere. The drums feel alive, pushing forward with a magnetic, primal energy. Theres an earthy warmth beneath the grit — the kind of rolling techno that bridges classic and modern influences, perfect for deep warehouse moments. No Way Back raises the intensity with driving low-end power and sharp, minimal percussion. Its relentless yet deeply hypnotic, built for long, immersive sets where the groove takes full control. Pulse.ar layers subtle synth movements that rise and fall like breathing — giving the track a sense of organic life within its raw machine framework. Next, Not Here pushes further into darker territory. Built around a pulsating drums and mechanical groove, it creates a tension-filled landscape full of delayed textures and shadowy energy. The track captures that feeling of being lost in the moment — not here, not anywhere — just floating in a timeless loop between light and dark. Finally, Why Unfold closes the EP with introspective grace. — a deep-groove journey that reveals Pulse.ars cinematic side. Here, the artist shows the vulnerability behind the toughness, as shimmering pads and ghostly chords melt over grounded percussion, leaving the listener with a lingering sense of reflection and closure.

#15 Feat. Staff Picks in DJ Tools

Say What? 159 welcomes English Techno prodigy Drumsauw! Known for his very driving studio mindset and high quality production finesse. His music is highly acclaimed by many major players and was on our radar for quite a while so we are ecstatic to have him as a new addition to our ever growing family with this outstanding EP We start with the main track of the release 'Echoes' - a high energy roller that will get everybody on their feet from the first beat. Groovy elements accompanied by dark drums and a catchy voice stab exemplify the skills of the producer Next up is 'Vibrations' produced in the typical Drumsauw way with nasty drums rolling and ready for the floors! A vicious dark stab leads you into an explosion of techno bliss yet keeping it simple but so effective 'We Collide' is the 3rd track on the release and maybe the darkest of them all. Keeping it raw as always, he keeps showing us that he means business with his perfect way of building tension and releasing it Last but not least, he made a tool of the lead track 'Echoes' which will fit perfectly in many sets in any genre Enjoy
