On 10/1/21, Opaque Records a new techno label based out of Chicago, IL ran by @wearedominus a techno/house duo was founded. Here’s some background on it…
Dominus has been supported by some of today’s biggest artists including Lights, Speaker Honey, Gaga, One True God, Dr. Fresch, AC Slater and many more. Coming off their last EP release in 2021, Dominus decided to take the dark turn towards Dark Techno and Minimal with their EP titled “F-Stop” and aims to continue serving dark vibes with the opening of their techno label, Opaque Records.
Opaque Records has a mission to bring all interpretations of techno to new listeners, while encouraging other artists from different genres to try their hand at techno as we want to encourage ALL artists. For us, the magic is hearing different adaptations and methods a producer will make and to me that’s special. Techno isn’t really defined but most people who don’t listen to it always refers it to one thing, “Blade” Music and that’s because of the standard drum kits, vocals and SFX being overly used in the genre, we intend on redefining what techno actually means in 2021 by bringing artists we feel finally break that mold.
Opaque Records on releasing three sub genres of techno – Hard Techno, Dark Melodic Techno and Minimal Techno. Covering a broad space of the industry will ensure many artists becoming discovered and contributing to the mission we intend on meeting.
A new era is here.
