The \”Horizon\” EP by Adriatique and Undercatt, released via X Recordings, is an exploration into the depths of melodic techno, showcasing a blend of enigmatic dark techno sounds that have shaped Adriatique\’s mystique, alongside Undercatt\’s innovative Italian techno artistry. \”Horizon\” marks Undercatt\’s debut on X Recordings, following his track \”We Are Your Friends\” and represents the second release from Adriatique\’s label.
The EP consists of two tracks, \”Horizon\” and \”Vera\”, offering listeners a journey through transcendent builds, swirling melodies, and galactic deep-tech tones. The lead track \”Horizon\” unfolds as a breathtaking odyssey that leaves listeners longing for more.
