Raynz (IT) 'Switch' on AXEPT

At 130 BPM, 'Switch' sits at the fast end of the 18 Melodic House and Techno records this week, whose tempos run from 120 to 131. The Extended Mix, filed as Melodic House and Techno, arrived on AXEPT in November, and Yulia Niko placed it fifth of 10 in her Melodig Week 7 chart on 28 November, a field where three of the 10 records already carry the AXEPT name.

Raynz's catalogue includes four releases since August 2024, spread across Black Rose Recordings, Exx Muzik, Astral Records and Harabe Black; the most recent before this was 'Hypernova', on Harabe Black, in July. The drums run this record, with a settled pattern throughout. It sits loud, with some give under its peaks, and the top end runs bright, a driving, present read that matches its place near the top of the week's tempo range. Fifth of 10 is a fair mid-table finish for a label still building out its own chart presence.
