Arjun Vagale Drops 'Function 88' On Radio Slave's REKIDS

Indian techno frontrunner Arjun Vagale just dropped the EP 'Function 88' through Rekids Special Projects, the lauded label by Berlin-based British act Radio Slave.

Rightly described by the label as "no-nonsense, hard-hitting techno", the 5-track release wastes no time on the peripheries of the genre and tackles its staple elements head-on. It hypnotizes with whirring arpeggios and raw energy and gets done making a strong case for Vagale's expertise in pacing the intensity by the time the impactful break and drop hits slightly past the halfway point on the opener 'Flash'. Moving through a palette-cleansing atonal gliding layer on 'Unusual Sentiment' before harkening to the sci-fi influences of Vagale's 2021 debut album 'Exit Fragments' on the title track and 'Cryophytes', the EP concludes with a move towards the upbeat mood of acid house (without directly quoting the genre) through the squelching arpeggios of 'Yuzu'.
