Illegal Alien Records founder and label head Ricardo Garduno returns home with tremendous force to the digital series, delivering a compelling new four-track release titled What Once Was. Following his previous release in November, Garduno comes back with a powerful statement: a carefully crafted collection that captures his signature sound while pushing it forward with renewed intensity.
This release stands as a testament to his diverse yet highly coherent artistic vision. Hypnotic rhythms, raw and driving grooves, deep atmospheres, and direct percussion intertwine seamlessly, further solidifying Garduno’s position as a defining force not only behind Illegal Alien, but within the global techno scene.
The concept of hypersonic refers to speeds exceeding Mach 5, an aeronautical measure that expresses the relationship between an object’s speed and the speed of sound in the surrounding medium — with Mach 1.8 being the average speed of a fighter jet. In the track bearing this name, that idea is translated into sound design whose velocity creates an immersive, tightly grooving effect.
From the very first moments, the track takes off fast, agile, and bright, moving ipso facto to dismantle the very labyrinths it constructs. The result is a striking sensation of suspension, like dust lifted by an object traveling at hypersonic speed. A sonic experience that ultimately leaves the listener suspended between hypnosis and brutal delirium, engineered with absolute precision for the dancefloor.
