THISISTHX does not arrive as a newcomer—he returns with intent and a sharper sense of direction. His second appearance on Illegal Alien Records is not a repetition but a statement of progression, reinforcing a trajectory that has been both consistent and deliberate. From Portugal, his project has taken shape through a clear vision: forward-driven, precise techno with no detours or compromises. The evolution is evident—a defined artistic identity and sustained momentum that places him within a new generation that doesn’t wait for space, but actively builds it.
His sound operates within a clearly defined field: raw, tense, and stripped of ornamentation. Percussive rhythms push forward with force, supported by a mental layer that maintains constant pressure and an energy that refuses to dissipate. There are no unnecessary peaks here—only control, measured intensity, and a sharp understanding of techno’s essential dynamics. Each track reflects this balance, delivering both physical impact and conceptual clarity.
With Point of No Return, a four-track EP, THISISTHX further solidifies this language. These are tracks built for high-impact environments, yet grounded in structural coherence and discipline. Rather than a final destination, the EP acts as a threshold—a decisive step forward that projects his evolution while reinforcing his place within contemporary techno. On Illegal Alien Records, the relationship doesn’t repeat—it deepens. The result is a collection of brutal, hypnotic cuts moving in parallel through unknown territories, somewhere between ancestral deserts and unexplored sonic landscapes.
IC 4351 unfolds as a smooth yet deeply hypnotic piece. Subtle layers accumulate with effortless fluidity as the rhythm progresses toward what feels like purple-tinted, almost utopian terrains. The climax arrives quickly, yet in a gradual, velvety manner. Beyond that point, the sound dissolves into ethereal atmospheres and suspended time, where body and mind remain motionless, absorbed. This state extends ad infinitum, ultimately taking full control over both psyche and physical response.
