Keys by Rethe

Starting 2026 strong, SPLOT introduces Rethe, a leading figure of the local Wrocław techno scene, who has reshaped his trademark sound with broken structures, weight and low-end pressure specifically for this release.

Keys came together organically as a series of personal breakthroughs translated into sound, with each track occupying a distinctly different rhythmic space.
It all starts with You Are Being Played, a track suspended between wakefulness and sleep. Rethe leaned into this ambiguity, shaping a nocturnal, Bristol-leaning, trip-hoppin’ sound that feels reflective and unsettled – an open-ended beginning that leaves you with a sense of excited anticipation of what's to come.

Next up, Silent Treatment revisits earlier rhythmic experiments, moving between breaks and four-to-the-floor patterns, steadily building tension throughout. Anchored by a modular bassline, it embraces subtle dissonance and emerges as a dancefloor-tested, electro-futuristic banger.

Keys reaches its climax with End Of Entanglement, where pressure and decision collide. Melody and percussive chaos intertwine, forming a modern take on early Four Tet’s emotional and rhythmic tension. Straight from the heart.

The EP concludes with Keys To My Kingdom, slowing everything down. Dense, spacious dub-techno textures create a heavy, introspective atmosphere – a lingering aftermath where doubt and persistence coexist.
