Suicide Ep by Eyptin Wholi

We welcome back Portuguese artist Eyptin Wholi to Piston with his raucous techno joint titled Suicide. Fresh off the back of his debut - Genug EP - a few months ago, we're happy to see him back once again. A unique artist who professes to be a low-res electronic noise, ambient pop and a progressive textures musician. With an emphasis on experimentation he is definitely all about the textures and contrasting sounds which usually result in sublime constructions. Eyptin discovered electronic music at age 15 and soon became involved with the local DJ scene before he moved to production. He began as a musician and multi-instrumentalist in late 2005 and since then he has won numerous awards with his music topping many charts in various countries.

The Original Mix delivers maximum impact right from the off as thumping kick drums dominate the spectrum. A deep underlying dark tone lurks menacingly throughout as intricate drum patterns form up. A rising pad creates intensity and gives the track a lot of character along with sporadic short vocals. A true techno monster that will most definitely rip up the floors.

DJ Ze MigL debuts here with a solid remix. He has probably been the most active and internationally known Portuguese techno producer in the last several years, whose underground activities have been carrying his country's name throughout all the corners of the world. Although known to many by his countless productions, it's as a DJ that his name and skills are most known. The main essence behind his sets is hard funkness, bringing an unexplainable mood to his audience, whether it's with the strong and faster side, or with the funky "get yo rump' on tha dance floor" tactic. His unique take on DJing gives birth to a full-on experience based on creating a journey through different sounds and shades of techno, yet seamlessly blending different styles making it altogether an intensive experience. During the daytime he is a mild-mannered Co-Owner of MK2, a shop dedicated 100%% to electronic gear for DJs and Producers. The remix here intros with a monster kick drum and percussion combo that really sets the tone for a deep dive into raucous techno. A steady rhythm comes out of the drums as high strings fade in to join the hypnotic vocal shots. Metallic style synths fade in and on the break the vibe turns industrial before those thumping kicks return for the duration. An epic slice of techno that is not to be missed.

In my music the synths are constant as is the melody which is sustained over. My music has that anticipating quality to it almost as if it’s the introduction to a dramatic event.
