TH;EN 'Rakata' on Simulate Recordings

TH;EN lands in Fideles' top ten Impressum • December 2024 chart (published 3 Dec), with 'Rakata' placed fifth of ten in the selection.

Rakata is a melodic techno cut with a straight and confident frame. In the extended version it comes in at 124 BPM and is out on Simulate Recordings in a release that arrived 8 November 2024.

Its sound is a careful balance between drums and chord, with a set of plain and regular hits locked into a pattern that runs smooth through the middle of the mix. The top end is clear and the whole track works as a vehicle for the emotion held in its pads and keys.

TH;EN's release history runs deep. There are 87 releases and a first step on 14 October 2014. The list has been carried mostly by Mango Alley with thirteen, ICONYC with seven, Click Records with six and Mad Hatter with five, and the most recent record before this was 'Baja Baja' on Einmusika Recordings, 11 October 2024. This one comes out of Simulate Recordings; their last release covered on these pages was CamelPhat, Massano and Nu-La 'Oblivion' at the end of October. It closes out a Miami dry season week in a release that can be heard at the top of the page.
