Christian Varela - Supraconscience EP [Backspin Records]

Regal launches Backspin Records with a seismic first release by Cristian Varela. With the Supraconscience EP, Varela delivers a true masterclass in groove-driven intensity, further defining Backspin's mission: to resurrect and reimagine the pulse of early 2000s techno.

The EP listens like a coded message from another dimension. With relentless tribal rhythms, the tracks draw from the same well as the classic vinyls that shaped Backspin's soundscape: hypnotic grooves, loop-based structures, powerful basslines, and an energetic percussive punch. J0T4 kicks off with a biting bass pressure and epic synth melodies, while J0T5 delves deeper, intertwining syncopated and lysergic percussion with unsettling atmospheres. Next comes Exegon, a compact, loop-laden storm, with choppy rhythms and distorted stabs: hypnotic, functional, and designed for maximum peak-time intensity with its melancholic hook. The closing track, J0T7, brings a twisted, rolling energy that unifies the EP in pure Hardgroove spirit.

As Backspin gains momentum, Supraconscience proves that this is not just about nostalgia. It’s about taking the timeless power of groove into new territories, hand in hand with legends like Cristian Varela, who helped write the original blueprint from the beginning.
