Rounding off your Thursday with a heavy techno track as underground as they come!

• 

Mark Arber is a heavy techno/IDM disc jockey who is currently signed to the Vegas Dirt Recordings label, a small underground electronic imprint dance label, which is currently based in London. Arber is a techno producer who is one of the original class of 88′ ravers. Arber has a very distinctive acid-house style to his techno beats. “Rasta Lion” is his second release and it will be available in February 2020! A massive shout-out goes to my friend and Vegan Voodoo, Eddie Bammeke, who provided me a copy of the track in early access! Make sure you stay tuned to Vegas Dirt Recordings on Facebook to find out more heavy-techno artists to appease your earbuds and for the latest information on live DJ sets and their latest music releases from the local scene.

“Rasta Lion” is a relentless assault on the earbuds on it’s first listen. This is a track which seems to have developed it’s roots in the influences of 90’s acid techno pioneers like The Future Sound Of London and Board Of Canada, as well as the modern electro scene. With very little background information on Arber and the label up on the internet, this is music that has to speak for itself and it does so fully, taking all of the stride in the world as it does so. It has several different break-beat sections, such as a distorted female vocal, which has a slight-pop vibe to it as it echoes under a fading synthesizer. It also has several bassline breaks, which creates the effect of a spotlight being rotated on a stage with several performers. Almost a strobe lighting effect, it propels the club-anthem feel of the rave-heavy bassline forward. The track also has a psychedelic, stoner-like male vocal, which implores the raver to “let the music carry you to infinity and space” under a heavy bed of ambient Jungle-based production and freakish electronic snares which distance themselves from the listener with fading techniques, transporting the listener to an African club aesthetic. Overall, it’s a shame the track’s not officially out yet, but I hope you’re looking forward to the release of the new track. It has a very exciting and club-like aesthetic which is primed to get you up and raving on a night-out with minimal work required!
