Makaton – Crime Wave [Voitax]

Following his last EP for the label, Immaculata, Voitax mainstay Makaton returns to form with his second solo EP, Crime Wave. His meticulously crafted brand of techno spans over four dance-floor cuts, covering all the bases for the mind, body and soul.

Bruise Violet opens up shop in true Makaton fashion. A venturesome stomper buffed out with an unrelenting, neurotic bass line which is sure to turn heads. Rise and Kill features the Birmingham producer’s inimitable swing that is dominated by another incisive bass line and served with a big side of hypnosis.

On the flip side, Pre Language is a masterclass in minimalism. Beefy low-ends, a galloping groove and an enchanting atmosphere turns this one into an essential tool for DJs. The final cut, Double Heart, delves a bit deeper. The journey evolves delicately with the help of gentle pads, an undulating bass line and a piercing hook.

Release date: March 16th, 2020.
