Rhod Records, a sonic platform driven by catalytic intent and a forward-looking vision, opens its 2026 calendar with a release that crystallizes its identity. It does so by presenting one of its core creative forces, reaffirming the avant-garde character that defines the Spanish imprint—whose curatorial vision remains one of our favorites in the circuit.
Dual State#1 is an exercise in reduction and friction. KOTEC operates through an anti-groove logic: the pulse does not aim to generate movement, but to sustain mental tension. The result is a dry, abrasive, minimalist-industrial form of techno—closer to introspective listening than to conventional dancefloor functionality. Here, rhythm does not invite; it confronts.
The encrypted track titles function as hermetic keys, reinforcing the sense of a closed system. Within this framework, DS1-2 stands out for its surgical precision: dry, minimal, surrounded by cosmic dust orbiting austere structures. The sonic landscape unfolds like an apparently empty universe, yet one charged with existential density pressing from within silence.
As co-founder of Rhod Records, KOTEC does not use the label as a vehicle for self-promotion, but as a laboratory. Each release becomes a testing ground for exploring dual states between technical control and emotional rawness. His deliberately minimal, uncompromising production thrives on the tension between structure and erosion, calculation and impulse.
In Dual State#1, that duality manifests as a boundary experience: a form of techno that does not seek comfort or approval, but instead opens perceptual fissures. Less an invitation to dance than a call to focus.
