Berlin-based producer Markus Binapfl aka Kaiser Souzai has been turning heads aplenty over the last few years courtesy of his infectious, unpredictable and always memorable techno sound. The man behind the Ballroom label, his music has brought him as far afield as Thailand and Australia recently, with his winter tour further endearing his talents to new fans around the globe. Fresh from a recent release on Boris’ always on-point Transmit Records, the man in question makes his debut here on the Layer 909 label with a release that’s notable for its many dexterous flourishes as well as the producer’s unique take on techno.
Artist: Kaiser Souzai
Title: Mind Control EP
Label: Layer 909
Release date: 29/04
Tracklisting:
- ‘Renegade Carl’
- ‘Mind Control’
Featuring 2 monster driving techno tracks that we are certain will make some noise this summer, Souzai has been a firm favourite of the label for some time, and this release, entitled the Mind Control EP, is a perfect double track release, with both cuts emphasising the label’s reputation for ‘big room’ techno sounds. ‘Renegade Carl’ takes front seat with a full bloodied, driving Techno vibe that builds and builds using clever fills and dark 303 stabs and overtones, which works towards a drop of massive proportions.
‘Mind Control’ is a more progressive, trippy techno affair. Lead by a deep, dark bassline and hypnotic vocal hooks, which build and swirl around throws of acid and tribal esq stabs, it showcases another side of the producer’s production arsenal with some esteem. Sure to win Souzai even more fans this summer, it’s a release that further enhances both the artist and the label’s stellar reputations.
