​

" Step into the future of sound with HydraTek, a true architect of immersive techno landscapes. 

Purple Desert Records is set to unveil a groundbreaking new EP, Ragnarök, a four-track odyssey that redefines the boundaries of electronic music.

Each track on this EP stands as a testament to HydraTek’s ability to merge raw power with intricate emotional depth. From industrial-strength beats to shimmering synth textures, Ragnarök takes listeners on a sonic journey designed for peak-time dancefloors and introspective late-night sessions alike.

This four-track killer EP is full of creative landscapes, sweet rhythms, and deep & hypnotic stabs, each is truly a masterpiece. 

 

"Helheim" – The opening salvo of the EP, "Helheim," pulls listeners into a vortex of pulsing basslines, hypnotic percussions, and a haunting vocal motif that builds relentless tension. A perfect set-starter, this track creates an atmosphere where reality feels malleable, echoing HydraTek’s mastery of sonic manipulation.

"Bifröst" – Rugged, industrial, and unapologetically driving, "Bifröst" is a visceral experience. Its hammering kicks and metallic stabs create an uncompromising energy that evokes the raw intensity of an underground warehouse rave. This track will ignite any dancefloor it touches.​​

 

 

As reviewed by Parkett (Magazine):

 

" Definitely a well-crafted production, with a solid structure and a clear concept behind it. I really like both its dub and hypnotic dimensions: they coexist perfectly and take me back to the early 2000s, specifically to the era when Dettmann released his first album on Ostgut. I could sense a bit of that background here. "​​​​​

" The production is really interesting, and we can see it fitting well with artists like Ellen Allien and SNTS. If Paula Temple were still active, she would definitely be a great fit as well. "
