Hailing from Denmark, CTRLS takes the steering wheel for KEY 042, delivering an EP that embodies techno and raw industrial energy, marking his third appearance on the label.

The A-side begins ‘ectomagnetic’, a highly rhythmical track building through layers into a dreamy chord progression that straddles the line between eyes-closed fantasia and full-body pump. In the midst of it all, the bassline drags our attention as its earthy, round essence stands out from the metallic universe created around it. A2 ‘injection shuffle’ is a heavy hitter, characterized by distorted, ringing textures and old-school methodology, boasting menacing drum programming that solidifies its status as a peak-time big room monster. Continuing on the B, ‘subsumed’ offers another mystical journey blending body music with spaced-out melodies, all stamped with CTRLS’s unmistakable touch. A sort of sci-fi tension, eerily drawing listeners into its otherworldly atmosphere. Closing with ‘nanocaust’, the EP dives into intense atmospheres led by a broken beat bone and cavernous soundscapes - once again - presenting a general sound which will make you feel a different kind of energy.

Strong package of densely populated sonic environments, all in line with the sound of KEY.
