XOTOX - Die Geheimen Dokumente [Infacted Recordings Promo]

Released on the digital circuit via Infacted Recordings on March 20th, 2k26 is "Die Geheimen Dokumente" - a new quasi-EP / single hybrid by long standing producer XOTOX. Opening with the Blac Kolor Remix of "Was Hörst Du?" we're drawn straight to the heart of the late night dancefloor with by a melange of heavy drum grooves and rather melancholia-inducing synth string arrangements, a large scale breakdown and whispering, almost trance-inducing voices whereas "The Price We Pay For Happiness *Corvo Elettronico Remix" brings forth heavy distorted peak time brutalism suitable for both HardTechno and Industrial dancefloors with its grinding layers and overwhelming bassline attacks. Furthermore "Ich Funktioniere *Elektropop" caters an alternative and rather stripped down variation of a cut previously released on the 2023 album "Ich Bin Da / Ich Funktioniere", the "Untitled And Unreleased Demotrack From 2001" reveals the stomping and spaced out technoid vision XOTOX followed a quarter of a century ago before another unearthed cut from the archive named "Künstlicher Mensch *Unreleased Demotrack From 2001" follows suit in a similar, yet more Industrial / FreeTekno-leaning manner with popping, expertly sculpted sci-fi bassdrums, extended Rhythm Industrial sequences and an overall grinding and hypnotic attitude which we're defo in for. Good stuff.
