Dark minimal techno album OUT TODAY
Dark Minimal Constructs is an artistic techno piece. All 12 tracks have exactly the same length, kick, percussion, & FX. This showcases & highlights the long 16 bar bass synths, which are the only differences in each track. With 12 tracks each 5 mins in duration, this creates a one hour hypnotic journey into dark turbulent frequencies that act to stimulate the mind & body. The tracks are named after the 12 darkest shades of black in the Hexadecimal color system (Hex).

Perhaps one of my most fun & approachable techno tracks to date out now on Electronic Alliance Records Future Sounds Anthology 4.0
Stranded in Space describes the story of a spaceship's computer malfunctioning. The lyrics are, "Navigation assistant nullified. Life-support system terminated. Knowledge base deleted." The phrases get shorter and shorter as the computer breaks down.
A 130 bpm peaktime / driving track with minimal & melodic elements:

HEGstraction
HEGstraction grew up in the 80s and 90s heavily influenced by the emergent electronic music in video games. This led to a natural inclination towards House, Techno and Trance music. After many years of listening to these genres and sub-genres through CDs, downloads, streaming and dancing in clubs, HEGstraction realised the sounds and beats were not always what he imagined and desired. Therefore, the obvious way forward seemed to be to take the step, and make the music directly.
Minimal Techno tracks with elements of skeletalism and massification. Tunes designed to be played up loud, with sounds and beats you can run your teeth along and bite! Repetition to lure you into rhythmic sensations, yet varied tunefulness at specific points to stimulate and energize. Follow HEGstraction@hegstraction on Instagram for new material, updates, and promotions. The minimal techno album, 'Movement', is HEGstraction's first album in the eventual planned trio of 'Space, Movement, and Light', which will feature other electronic music (sub)genres.
