The first chapter of a new series exploring identity, temporality and the many dialects of contemporary techno.
Four tracks, four distinct approaches, yet bound by a shared pursuit of tension, texture and transcendence. Chronicles Diary introduces its identity with WAYF VOL1, the first entry in a series asking when, not where, this music belongs. The answer comes in four club pieces that favour impact over ornament, tracing tension, texture and a sense of forward movement.
Boyd Schidt & Uväll’s “Bullet Train” is tensile 4/4, serrated hats and a tunnelling bassline pulling the room into a tight zone. Commissar Lag’s “Battle Rites” ups the pressure, all offline bass and percussive rhythm. MMSS pares things back on “Aion_01,” a looping, hypnotic figure that blurs time without dropping energy.
Time Traveller (UK) closes with “Stud,” glitched and driving, a roughcast groove that breathes between the hits. Four perspectives, one intent: functional, underground Techno that works.
