The archaeology of avant-garde techno demands creators capable of molding outer space without losing the physical anchor of the dancefloor. Córdoba-born DJ and producer David Reina has spent years mapping a pivotal path within Spanish techno, solidifying a signature profile defined by a science-fiction imaginary across cult platforms such as Axis, Warm Up, SEMANTICA, Edit Select, and Abstract Mechanisms. Alongside his duties at Legend 1997 Records, the artist delivers his formal solo debut on the Illegal Alien Records imprint with My Own Degree (following his appearance on the Deported Series: Thirteen compilation)—a four-track EP favoring microscopic detail, progressive tension, and a remarkable economy of resources.
The three-dimensional vanishing point of this release claims its spot on Panasi, our exclusive Premiere. From the very first bars, the track warps the listening experience’s temporality by establishing a surgical visual correlative that places us within the interstices of the universe. Its sonic architecture unfolds through rhythmic structures resembling bulbs that gradually and progressively release stardust, pulling us toward the moons of remote planets that we approach only to ultimately pass right by. This modular journey triggers a profound mental introspection amidst those environments, converting into an astronaut tribulation expanding ad infinitum over the body in motion.
The composition’s narrative advances without haste, allowing the atmospheres to mutate with spatial naturalness while the meticulous rhythmic programming sustains a constantly driving groove. With My Own Degree, David Reina signs a flawless editorial stance: he proves that true underground intensity is achieved not through excess or predictable contrasts, but via the construction of dense mental atmospheres and a hypnotic mysticism revealing new layers of depth with every listen.
Towards the denouement, the structure shuns the complacent devices of a functional melodic fading. The analog drive cuts off abruptly mid-interstellar friction, leaving the residual frequencies and stardust suspended in mid-air like an unfinished interference in the dark.
