End of Perception is a Berlin-based techno label co-owned by Viels and Francesco Della Sata, which has featured music by Takaaki Itoh, Ness, Brendon Moeller, Deepbass, and ORBE, amongst others.
Providing the next EP titled ‘Destino,’ the label head Viels showcases four new and original works.
Originating from near Milan, Viels is an experienced DJ and producer who has played all around Europe alongside DVS1, DJ Nobu, Setaoc Mass, Steve Bicknell, and many more, while also holding a residency at the Acquario event in Milan.
His standout production style has graced imprints such as Bas Mooy’s Mord, Oscar Mulero’s Warm Up, Psyk’s Non Series, Svreca’s Semantica, and Edit Select Records, as well as his appearances on End of Perception, and includes collaboration releases with fellow Italian, Pyramidal Decode.
Beginning with “Primo Respiro” and its an ethereal sound, rich in hypnotics and drenched in atmosphere. Cyclical pulses are an underbelly to a staggered kick drum and tense percussion in this heads down groove.
“Movimento Tellurico” has a more upbeat sound yet covered in mystery. Sparse sweeps, bubbling textures, and delayed cymbals create a perfect melting pot of an alluring dystopian aura.
Next up, “Incompleti” turns on the dub vibe, with a satisfying feeling that a subterranean exploration is underfoot. Warm modular bleeps and flickering effects combine with shuffling elements for a deep and spacey trip.
“Destino” is the title track and closer, opting for a more dance floor approach with a raw sound. Using its driving yet restrained rhythm and illusive spirit for a quality sound, it delivers a mesmerising mood.
