In a landscape dominated by concrete structures and fragmented dreams, Concrete Dreams emerges as a sonic exploration of the urban future. Kevin Villa constructs a narrative in which matter feels heavy, cold, and persistent, while consciousness continues to search for an escape route. The EP unfolds through hypnotic pulses and abrasive textures, evoking endless cities, horizonless nights, and memories embedded in cement.
Each track functions as a fragment of a larger architecture: rigid, oppressive, yet alive. Concrete Dreams does not offer answers, but rather states of being. It is an introspective journey through underground techno, where the human and the artificial coexist in constant tension. This release marks ARD059, the latest entry in the catalogue of the desert label Arido Records, adding a new chapter to its ongoing narrative of exploration, resistance, and forward-looking vision.
Taken as a whole, the EP reveals a form of hypnotism with versatile coordinates, capable of shifting from rave and club contexts toward introspective science fiction, colliding into a precise and powerful synthesis. The self-titled track, whose name is already highly suggestive, encapsulates this concept: concrete can refer both to what is precise and well-defined, and to what is solid, compact, and material. When these meanings are layered onto the sound itself, an almost infinite universe of possibilities emerges.
This is the core quality of the release: a sound that is exact and deliberate, yet also forceful, rough, and resistant—much like concrete itself. By introducing the notion of dreams into this terrain, the meanings expand and intensify. Another strong release from Kevin Villa, and another compelling statement from the sharp and forward-thinking curation of Arido Records
