Apigenin is the Berlin-based project formed by Solenoid, a three-decade veteran of the techno scene, and his nephew mmoonn, a musician and visual artist. Together, they strike a compelling balance between experience and contemporary sensibility, united by a shared fascination with the hypnotic potential of groove. Two generations converge around a common understanding of techno as a medium for immersion, repetition, and perceptual transformation.
Their second EP for Black Hole Transmissions delves deeper into that territory. Across four compositions, the duo develops a sound rooted in deep textures, functional repetition, and rhythmic structures that favour gradual absorption over immediate impact. Each track seems to explore a different variation of the same question. How far can a groove carry the listener when given enough time to unfold?
The journey begins with Focused, a piece that immediately establishes the character of the release. Hypnotic sequences, precise percussion, and a restrained sonic architecture create a feeling of continuous forward motion. Nothing feels rushed. Every modulation, microscopic variation, and subtle frequency shift contributes to sustaining tension while the structure evolves almost imperceptibly.
There is also a sense of depth that extends beyond the purely sonic dimension. The track unfolds across an expanded temporality where past and future coexist within the same current. Echoes of classic hypnotic techno traditions interact with a distinctly contemporary sensibility, creating a compelling dialogue between familiarity and exploration. The result feels almost ritualistic, as though time itself has ceased to fragment and instead flows as a single uninterrupted continuum.
With this second release, Apigenin further consolidates a vision centred on the most immersive aspects of contemporary techno. Rather than relying on immediate formulas, the duo builds its language through precision, patience, and gradual evolution. A space where groove, hypnosis, and depth no longer operate as separate elements, but as different expressions of the same moving force.
