V/A HOW DEEP WOULD YOU DIVE IN BE YOUR OWN STUDIO
Be Your Own Studio celebrates its fifth anniversary with a very special release: a double compilation bringing together 14 artists from different corners of the world. This Vol.5 upholds the label’s annual tradition, but with a more ambitious and commemorative approach. The result is a diverse and eclectic sonic journey, spanning from melodic progressive to harder, more driving proposals. The selection reflects the label’s creative diversity, featuring producers from Madrid, Málaga, Italy, Vancouver, Austria, and Argentina — a body of work that makes it clear why Be Your Own Studio has established itself as a true independent benchmark.
A standout moment comes with ‘How Deep Would You Dive In’ by OCKTIVE, the most powerful and vibrant cut of the entire compilation. Deep atmospheres coexist with energetic grooves, showcasing the breadth of his musical vision and highlighting one of the strongest tracks of the release. Great LP!
UNDER THE FX Y JFERNANDEZ DESFASE CIRCULAR SAY WHAT
Ramon Tapia’s label Say What? presents ‘Diferencia Horaria’, a collaborative EP between Spanish/Chilean producers Under The FX and JFERNANDEZ, where rhythmic precision fuses with deep emotional weight.
In ‘Desfase Circular’, the opening cut of the new EP on Say What?, the Spanish/ Chilean duo explores hypnotic, meticulously crafted techno that plays with the perception of time. Looping sequences, ever-shifting percussion, and syncopated low-end generate a spiraling tension that never returns to the same point, while expansive atmospheres swell and retract like waves of energy. It’s a track designed to trap the listener in a circular journey, where each turn brings new nuances and sensations.
In parallel, JFERNANDEZ recently appeared on a VA for Tutú Records (Edgar de Ramon), receiving strong support from artists such as SLV, Chloe Lula, and Adam Beyer — a release that paves the way for his upcoming solo EP on the same imprint.
REVIEW CLÁSICO
K.MARTIN WEAPONS 1994 RECORDINGS
K.Martin makes his debut on 1994 Recordings with Warriors, a four-track EP that distills pure, uncompromising techno. Each cut is an exercise in rhythmic force and precision, built for the dance floor and shaped with polished, no-nonsense production. With years of experience across some of the most demanding clubs in Spain and Europe, the artist showcases his mastery of tension and pulse.
His techno is raw yet controlled, powerful without excess, and underpinned by a narrative layer that connects it to his new creative chapter. Straddling Detroit and the south of Spain,
K.Martin is also MÆRKIN — an alias under which he explores introspective, elegant, slow-groove house. This parallel project adds an extra dimension to his musical identity, reflecting his versatility and his interest in different tempos and emotions. On Warriors, however, it’s all drive, darkness, and kinetic energy.
The standout track is ‘Weapons’: a hypnotic, razor-sharp cut that combines crushing basslines, meticulous percussion, and a progression that grips from the very first bar. It’s the piece that condenses the essence of the EP — one destined to be etched into the memory of the dance floor.
