Buy here: found.ee/CROWDX002 CROWD returns with ‘Human Frequency’, the second chapter of its VA series CROWDX. Curated by FJAAK and Elli Acula, the ten-track release brings together established figures and a new generation of artists, further exploring the space between techno’s roots and its evolving sound. Driven by rhythm, intensity and a shared connection to the dancefloor, CROWDX reflects the Berlin-based label’s musical uncompromising vision, taking its sound into new spheres. Rooted in Berlin’s club culture, CROWD continues to explore different shades of groove-driven, high-energy techno. Moving between hypnotic rhythms, raw percussion and powerful dancefloor moments, ‘CROWDX002: Human Frequency' brings together ten distinct interpretations of a shared musical vision. The Advent & DJ Dextro open the release with ‘Leave No Trace’, combining a deep, driving kick, synthesized toms and a frenzied sine lead that builds towards a powerful climax. Gina Demarchi follows with ‘About You’, layering rolling drums and heavy percussion over a weighty dub chord. FJAAK’s ’Surveillance’ takes a stripped-back approach, pairing heavy chord stabs with sparse percussion and a swelling breakdown. Elli Acula ventures into more atmospheric territory on ‘Girl From The Moon’, where a tough, rolling groove meets eerie pads and fragmented vocals. E.DN continues with ‘Valkyr’, driven by rumbling low-end frequencies and an ominous spoken-word vocal. Rebecca Delle Piane pushes the intensity with ‘Protozoa’, built around a fast, forward-driving bassline, while Norman Nodge brings his distinctive approach to dub techno with ‘NN-Dub 5.5’, exploring the interplay between a single chord and rhythmic, call-and-response percussion. Staim draws on the tribal techno sound of the early 2000s with ‘Everybody’, building layers of drums around an evolving chord motif. J.Blofeld shifts the focus towards hypnotic minimalism on ‘Zetu’, combining rolling kicks, subtle shakers and a simple two-note synth loop. Chontane closes the compilation with ‘Strawberries Are Nuts’, building tension through sub-heavy kicks, sparse percussion and droning atmospheres.

Get it here: found.ee/CROWD012 Deas joins the CROWD family with ‘Silent Tension’, a refined EP that channels the Polish producer’s signature blend of hypnotic groove and hardware driven production. Known for his precise studio craftsmanship and deeply intuitive approach to groovy techno, Deas has steadily built a reputation as one of the standout figures of the contemporary Polish scene. Through years of releases and international touring, he has developed a sound that feels both timeless and unmistakably personal, as proven on the label's 12th record. Opening track ‘I Won’t Cry’ immediately sets the tone with classy vocal sampling from Loleatta Holloway, warm chord progressions and rolling swung percussion anchored by Deas’ characteristically rich bass. Following up, ‘Waterfall’ introduces bleepy modular sequences and chopped vocal fragments, with a sweeping drone synth cutting through the mix above the track’s rolling bass. On the flip side, ‘Silent Tension’ continues deeper into minimal territory, combining crisp clap fills, subtle vocal chops and delayed chord repetitions into a slow burning groove. The vinyl's closing cut ‘Where Do They Go’ brings dense low end weight and fast dubby chord stabs, accompanied by sharply placed vocal cuts, creating a track that balances restraint and impact. The digital addition ‘Here Again’ is a classic Deas production, characterised by repetitive synth stabs that gradually transform the cut into a hypnotic hook, while stripped back percussion and a powerful kick give the track a commanding presence. Throughout CROWD012, Deas remains firmly focused on groove and subtlety, while retaining a strong impact. The tracks unfold patiently, with a focus on tension, repetition and gradual escalation, maintaining the hypnotic functionality that has become both Deas’ trademark and a defining characteristic of the sound of the label founded by FJAAK and Ellie Acula. The 'Silent Tension' EP stands as a sophisticated and deeply effective club record that further cements Deas as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary techno.
