about

A leader of the Portuguese wave in techno co-founding Hayes Collective while boasting acclaimed releases on Klockworks, Blueprint, and Soma, Temudo grabs the reins to take club music back to its days of audacity and risk taking. A more than promising up-and-comer turned modern reference, Temudo defends his reputation with a release showcasing depth in his various sonic universes and a deep understanding of his music’s history. For its seventh release, Temudo’s ‘Meteora’ is a logical next step for the club’s direction - a sweet spot between dancefloor efficiency and enduring aesthetic.

Combining the intrigue of mental soundscapes with the reliability of imposing rhythm, ‘Meteora’ finds itself collected, expressing effect through restraint. The title track, claiming the EP’s A1, is just that - a force of interweaving sound design and powerful micro transitions. Some believe the best techno records are able to express emotion and attitude despite its dissonant and machinelike nature; if that’s the case then Temudo has mastered the craft. ‘When I Grow Up’, however, puts the focus back on the body. What sounds like warbling tape modulation over a percussive lead makes this record an addictively delirious ride from start to finish, fitting in with the track before while shifting to different priorities. Proving his versatility, ‘Vrthng’ at first seems reminiscent of the minimal Berlin style with a higher pace, but quickly progresses into something intensely euphoric. With experience and measure, an out of the box approach can really pay off, and the added emotion in ‘Vrthng’ is certainly a turning point in the EP. This mindset is clearly carried over in the project’s conclusion : ‘It’s Always Past’. A surprising use of harmony and storytelling, this final chapter ends with Temudo sealing his style with confidence. The track is mystified by its chords, ending ‘Meteora’ with a question mark that leaves us in anticipation for what Temudo dares to do next.
