Brooklyn-based record label Templum opens their gates with a rite of passage from label head honcho Auspex. ‘The Absent Guard‘ is a seven-track suite marking a turning point after his previous Oath chapter, delivering a full-bodied descent into sweat-soaked club momentum.
Having carved a reputation through his ALTÆR nights and frequent sets at Berghain, Auspex assembles a hallucinogenic blend of deep techno, acid-drenched spells and trance-infused psychedelia. The result is a vivid manifesto to the sacred pulse of the club, a kind of high-octane liturgy that bridges the spectral and the physical.
‘Emergence’ levitates like an encrypted signal from some distant psychic frontier. A flurry of ultra-refined hi-hats slice through trance arpeggios, while a seismic low-end keeps bodies magnetised to the floor. Midway through, the structure liquifies into something mesmerising, rising from the mix like a phoenix draped in fog and sweat.
‘The Absent Guard’ EP is scheduled for release 3rd July via Templum. Order a copy from Bandcamp.
