Italy’s techno powerhouse Alignment blows off roofs with his new 4-track EP, ‘Mystical Energy’, out 24th April on Charlotte de Witte’s KNTXT label. This is his 7th EP on the imprint, on which he was only the 3rd artist to release, aside from de Witte herself.
‘Alignment is back on KNTXT, and I couldn’t be more excited! This EP has his signature sound all over it: relentless and hypnotic while pushing the boundaries of techno. This new release is pure energy. I can’t wait for everyone to dance to it on the floor!’ – Charlotte de Witte
As well as becoming a mainstay of KNTXT, Alignment’s signature invincible blend of hard techno and 90s-inspired trance has also won support from the likes of Richie Hawtin, Ben Klock, Laurent Garnier, Amelie Lens and Joseph Capriati.
‘Mystical Energy’ EP: ‘unfolds through powerful, energetic basslines, relentless pulses that shape a hypnotic sonic journey. Mystical influences intertwine with exotic and ethereal melodies, transporting the listener to a dimension suspended between reality and the unknown. Each track is a portal that dissolves the boundaries of the familiar, pushing the mind beyond in an electronic ritual of pure transcendence’ – Alignment
All four tracks are high energy, an irresistible force of techno beats adorned with uplifting euphoric elements to complete their onslaught on the mind and the dancefloor. Title track ‘Mystical Energy’ adds a darkly grating whispered lyric at high speed, pushing the impetus yet further, and triumphant melodic synth patterns. ‘Brazilian Pulse’ mixes ominous industrial sounds with the urgent yet mysterious chanting of a female vocal, while ‘Speak From Your Heart’ offers high pizzicato riffs and a 90s flavour synth crescendo with a Prodigy vibe. ‘The Deepest Truth’ contrasts dystopian hoover sounds and robotic phrases with a sustained breakdown of soulful, vibrato melodic synth.
Alignment has already played at venues and festivals like Printworks London, Toffler, H7 Warehouse, various KNTXT events, Awakenings & VERKNIPT festivals. You can catch him soon at Kappa Futurfestival and Rotterdam Rave festival.
