Born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil, and currently residing in Berlin, Germany, KaioBarssalos presents the latest release on Illegal Alien Records. Over the past few years, the Brazilian producer has been steadily building a clear and recognizable sonic identity within the international techno scene. His work is characterized by precise rhythmic construction and a strong focus on atmospheric development that unfolds gradually over time. With this new EP, KaioBarssalos delivers another important chapter in his artistic trajectory, showcasing a sound that is increasingly defined, mature, and refined.
In recent years, KaioBarssalos has gained growing international attention thanks to his hypnotic, groove-driven approach to techno. This release marks his debut EP on Illegal Alien Records, following his previous contribution to the label’s compilation Deported Series: Thirteen V.A.. His productions have also found a home on respected labels such as Planet Rhythm, Suara, and Code Records, further strengthening his position within the contemporary techno landscape. This trajectory reveals an artist moving forward with confidence, developing a sonic language that balances rhythmic force with atmospheric depth.
Under the title Starting Point, the EP offers a powerful selection of tracks that combine intensity, rhythm, and immersive atmospheres. The release is defined by a dark yet polished aesthetic, crafted to engage both the mind and the dancefloor. Each track builds its own space within the record, allowing rhythmic tensions to evolve while textures gradually expand. In this sense, the EP stands as a confident statement of KaioBarssalos’ sonic vision, representing another strong contribution to the contemporary techno movement.
Within this sonic landscape, Translucido emerges as one of the most hypnotic moments of the release. The track operates like a velvet techno drill, shaking our coordinates of what is often understood as the strength and rawness of the genre. It moves forward driven by a kind of atomic energy, advancing quickly yet with a subtlety that avoids overwhelming the sonic space.
As it reaches its climactic delta, the structure seems to briefly suspend itself. Everything hangs in the air, floating within an almost ethereal dimension where resonances continue to expand. From this point, multiple layers of synthesis and rhythmic structures begin to intertwine with precision, forming a complex yet perfectly balanced final texture. The result is a continuous flow where groove, atmosphere, and rhythmic tension converge into a carefully assembled sonic architecture.
