Intelligence interview

Mexican label Catalyst Records has released a digital EP of Intelligence named 'Nightime Programs'. For all info on the release, check below:

 

Release info

The "mad engineer" Enrique Tanko strikes hard with this highly potent release. Blending devious and powerful basslines with elegant, glitchy, robot-like rhythm is only a little part of what Intelligence has done... The rest seems to reside in crafting mindblowing sounds and diping them into a highly toxic solution of psychedelic power to get that highteck flavor we all go for.

Featuring a brilliant Team-Up with Austrian powerhouse Materia and a hardhitting RMX to Disorder's Titania.

Tracklist

INTELLIGENCE - DRAMATIC SEQUENCE
INTELLIGENCE & MATERIA - ELECTRIC LOCK
INTELLIGENCE - NIGHTIME PROGRAMS
DISORDER - TITANIA (INTELLIGENCE RMX)

'The Order Of Chaos', a new compilation by Mexican label Catalyst Records has just been released. In the tracklist we see Intelligence appear as he delivers a versus track with Attik titled 'The Spark Of Life'. Read below for all info.

Release info

Compiled by Dj Hisrav.

Searching for precise order within chaos is part of what a musician does. One's mission is essentially tapping into the universe of sound and creating a sequence, harmony, melody, groove, loop, line. Putting a bit of order into the chaotic abstract as we like to say.

Blasting basslines, robotic noises, futuristic riffs, hammering beats, vibrant grooves and more than a dash of psychedelic is the 'order' Dj Hisrav was looking for when he compiled this pounding collection of serious psychedelic material.

Bringing together great artists from Mexico, UK, Brazil, Austria, Israel, and Germany.
