Techno producer Dylan Andrew’s Hornet’s Nest EP invites a heavy-weight in dark minimal techno Maksim Dark for a remix. Hornet’s Nest, the latest EP from Shadow Wulf Records, showcases Andrew’s stylistic influences blending grit with minimal, progressive, and psychedelic.
Consistent with his trademark sound, Dylan Andrew’s Hornet’s Nest EP delivers a title track that aptly draws its name from the signature evolving buzzy synth moving swiftly throughout the stereo field. The track’s menacing groove features a thick, chunky bassline, a dynamic low-end growl, acid accents, and immense leads that deftly balance melody with savage ferocity.

The second track on the EP, “Orbit,” is a collaborative effort with fellow San Diego producer Memo Rex. Orbit thrills in its unique minimal and funky weirdness, a solid techno weapon filled with gritty and sinister sounds, cosmic arps, acid deviations, clever sequences, and tempo changes keep this track evolving from start to finish, enticing in its otherworldly journey, and keeping listeners guessing along the way.

On remix duties are Maksim Dark and Shadow Wulf label boss Crescendoll. Maksim Dark’s remix features a deep, dark and rolling bassline. It’s multi-layered swelling in and out with expert precision. He’s introduced saucy little effects and synths along with bold drums and a stomping groove. Crescendoll brings a heavier sound to this minimal groover. Her remix flirts with the original stems while adding a swinging mid-bass, playful percussion and massive synths. Her signature twisted psychedelic effects give the track a unique psytech feel.
